I wonder if he’s happy. I mean, genuine question, not a snark. There’s obviously important reasons to be “productive” but there are many reasons to just let go, too. I wonder what his mental health looks like.

Pretty great, thanks, bookmarked!

That’s the kicker, beautifully put. It’s pretty much impossible to get our human minds around $185 billion, but any which way you spin it, it’s an insane amount of money. His $2bn altruistic fund is sort of like the equivalent of me giving

Lovely post, and a great idea. I personally very much like the idea of not scaling - and in fact have done this for 10 years with our (still tiny) digital agency. We could have chosen to take on staff many times but instead opt for a lifest

Totally. Art and meaning doesn't come from "efficiency". And try stressing a totally "efficient" system - one which has no contingency. Take the uk school system, NHS or social care right now. These are systems that

Feedburner was always the way. Then Google bought it and I’m not sure what happened next

I'd like that. This pattern you mention bugs me.

I was an early user of rss and blogged for years, then got sucked into social media like everyone else. Recently I've ditched that and got back into writing a bit and using Reeder / Feedly again. It is such a pleasure! Really just

Looks ace, will try it out!

Just tried it. It’s terrible. Two rooms, no instructions, failed to place any furniture apart from a chair in mid air. Uninstalled.

I really like it. I didn't think I would, but it's good. But - just like Hubs, SURELY the pan is the wrong way round, dammit? :-)

Probably worth taking into account their line in that article about how good they are at fast-turnaround journalism. Typos are always going to happen in that environment I’d guess.

I'm really pissed off that I didn't think of an octagonal clock, dammit

That sort of misses the point, for a general non-technical user anyway..

Agree. This has been the interesting thing to me: that so many non-nerd friends have popped up on Signal. Totally fascinating that the shift is happening to a group who are typically not that bothered about the presence of FB. I'll hav

Really incredibly, irritatingly simple and well executed idea...

Square peg, round hole. Repeat after me. [Square peg](Round hole). That's all you need.

We might know each other. I was head of web at The Science Museum from 2000-2007 :-)

When people say that to me, I ask them for their phone so that I can give it to a passing member of the public to have a look through. That usually shuts them up.

Orthogonal to this, but I find it terribly ironic that many of the "freedom of speech"'ers are probably the least likely to actually be able to argue their corner in a rational, sensible and polite way. Consider for example a

I’m about to implement this at home. Any tips?

I’m finding dokuwiki absolutely outstanding for notes and, well, all the things. I’ve avoided it for years and years because - frankly - it looks bloody awful. Then I downloaded, added a bootstrap theme, fiddled with some css, and it’s now

lol, I came here to post something snarky along the lines of "...of which 95% are !g" but you beat me to it and did it in a nicer way too :-) And yes, me too - I do love DDG, very happy user.

Looks great but ditto, never have my laptop in the kitchen, always have the iPad.

The problem is that "free speech" is too often conflated with "being able to say whatever the hell I want, however horrific it is". In my humble opinion, a democracy is one in which free speech is championed, but ultimat
