Last time @darius and I chatted was right after I launched the beta version!

oh no why? That was about the time I got my first one too.

I didn't realize it was a 30 day challenge, and I was confused about how I was gonna post a photo on Feb 30th

That's all the validation I needed 👍

This is very excellent, and I needed new business cards anyway!

seems legit 🙄

I try 😂

Looks really nice! $20 is a lot, but I'm happy to support small developers! I think this will work nicely in my workflow for sending short snippets of text back and forth between various devices!

I wish we were hiring right now!

oh but that's art

I have to say it bothers me to no end when I watch a video where the audio tone of voiceovers is super different from the talking head shots because of different mics.

yay! @indiewebcat says hi!

Backblaze is great! 🚀

But it's fine cause you have backups of the backups right? 😇

I would love to know if there is a good way to do this. I've done this before by turning a pile of external hard drives into a "JBOD RAID" with the built in mac Disk Utility. Not quite the same cause if you unplug one drive it all disappears.

So exciting to see replies on micro.blog posts now!

I think the issue that was raised was less about the reposting of the full content and more about how that content was presented in the UI.

When I repost something, I very intentionally designed my reposts so that the post on my site would clearly look like it was written by the original author and not me. Specifically that means things like not having my name or photo anywhere near the content, and instead having the original author’s name and photo in the same place that my own photo would appear on my posts. You can see some examples at https://aaronparecki.com/reposts

Granted I don’t ever show the full text of a blog post I repost, but I do show the full contents of notes, regardless of their length. In practice this means I don’t have many occurrences of large amounts of copied text. If I were to repost a blog post, it would show only the blog post title on my site. It’s debatable whether that’s a “real” repost, but I’m happy with that decision.

In any case, I still think the more important issue here is how the repost is presented rather than whether or not a repost should be allowed in the first place.

so curious to hear how this works out! I did find that writing an actual script instead of just bullet points made me say words better and resulted less crap I had to cut out later.
