How, in 2023, are tech comentators not able to differentiate Apple doing a decent job in one sphere from abuse of monopoly in several others? And, while we're on the subject, is "Apple is better than Google" somehow our societal benchmark?

Fuuuuuck the ultracapitalist present, and may its future die in the fire of our imaginations.

If we did do it we'd like to make it something you can opt out of, in a similar way to how we plan to allow disabling replies. It's not entirely trivial.

I don't feel as strongly about quote posts as I did in 2018. Personally, I am not a fan, but there is clearly a lot of demand for it. We're considering it.

Words you can't use two of in the same paragraph and retain any credibility, 2023 edition:

• build[er]
• utility
• decentralized (US spelling, because)
• Miami
• ecosystem
• core
• community
• "passive income" (yes, two words, but is enough)

• Screenshot of the same content as the previous picture, but more information fits on the screen due to lack of extraneous UI stuff and whitespace. (remote)
• The same screenshot of the new Hometown interface but the right-hand menu is retracted and there is room for the content of the posts to take up the entire width of the phone. (remote)

First try using my new gouache palette. They are definitely more beginner friendly than the basic ones in tubes I picked up two years ago. I am surprised how little product goes a long way.

The painting is just a kind or redraw of an older pen doodle I did last year. 😅 Didn't want to spend much time thinking about what to draw and just start using the gouache.

• Kawaii illustration of big Earth and tiny Moon arguing. Venus and Mercury in the back looking at each other being thankful about not having moons themselves (remote)
• Text page: Earth's moon is unusually large for the planet it orbits. As the junior partner in the team, Luna exerts a strong influence on Earth. And not only in the form of tidal forces or as romantic night light: In 1000 years, the rotation of the Earth around its own axis will be slowed down by 0.016 seconds/day. Conversely, the rotation of the Moon is coupled to its orbit, which is why we always see the same side. But due to its energy loss, it moves away from Earth by about 3.8 cm every year. Venus and Mercury, on the other hand, are the only planets in our solar system without moons, which is also related to their proximity to the Sun. (remote)
