There’s this phenomenon I like to call VPB: Valley Pattern Blindness. It’s when a tech startup forgets every QA case for their product / feature outside temperate weather in a wealthy, internet-connected urban area, and nobody in the QA / development process catches them either.

I wanted to take some notes on the airplane so I pulled up Notion but it wouldn’t load because of lack of internet. This stuff kills me, it’s not acceptable

Kittybox Companion for Android is now open-source! https://gitlab.com/vikanezrimaya/kittybox-android

It’s really rough, lacks IndieAuth (for now), can’t load Microsub posts beyond first page, the pictures are small (I need to make a popup overlay to enlarge them), and Micropub attachments are utterly broken. But otherwise it works for me!

Sometimes I forget that I'm a musician. Writing & performing live soundtracks at conferences was the way I got in for free so I could get to know many of the folks I collaborate with now. There's a metric ton of music I wrote & performed between 2014–2017, but have yet to record.

It’s worth remembering that, at the time that the Internet Protocol was being designed in the 70s, countless competing standards (like ATM and XNS) that had more features (but were thus less modular and evolvable) ultimately lost against IP’s minimalism.

IP has thus come to be known as the "Narrow Waist of the Internet". It is the single protocol through which all traffic flows. Its most obvious advantage is that it decouples the application layer from the hardware layer so that each may evolve independently.

I wouldn’t want to be in the photo software business.

Offer a subscription? Folks are pissed.

Offer paid upgrades? Folks are pissed.

I guess the photographers who want free software must be the same ones who work for exposure.

Yes! Cultivate a talent THEN film it. Big YouTubers have something to say & usually talented in something: filmmaking, skating, slime, singing, instruments, storytelling, gaming, teaching ETC ETC
