@philcosta.bsky.social The press seems better adjusted now!

@katzish.bsky.social Don't give them ideas!

@macrumors.bsky.social This is a good thing! But it's kinda shitty that #Apple completely based it on an unofficial plugin, without even agreeing to give $1(!) to the developer… havn.blog/2024/12/04/g...

@davidpierce.xyz Subscribed! 👍🏻
But I also have some feedback (that I turned into a blog post 👇🏻). havn.blog/2024/12/04/f...

@reckless.bsky.social Good news! I subscribed. 👍🏻
But I also wrote some feedback, and made it into a blog post: havn.blog/2024/12/04/f...

@Denny @gregmorris @maique I have many similar thoughts…
The core product of Micro.blog has so many things going for it – but it also desperately needs polish. This just makes it so wild that they spend precious dev time on things like Notes, which are extremely well served by the market, instead of focusing on what makes the service unique.

@havn.blog Yeah, that's what I assumed — Micro.blog uses ActivityPub. 🙂
Yeah, we're really lucky* to have so many options up here!
*As in, we've collectively, and consistently, invested a lot in EVs, for many years.

@ymar.bsky.social I updated the post now, with (among other things) a picture of the cars we're considering. 🙂
But you can't beat the value of the Model Y! It has more range, space and tech for the money than any other car. The most important negatives are, the noice-level (big one for us), the boring looks (and that everyone has one over here), and that I personally don't want to give money to Musk. But that doesn't change the fact that it's a great car for the price!
I'd love a station wagon, as I kinda hate the SUV fad (even though I think they are cool) – but the options are really limited. The best ones seem to be VW ID.7 Touring and Nio ET5 Tourer. Kia and Hyundai have really solid EV platforms – so the Ioniq 5 and EV6 (and all their others offerings, tbh) are good candidates. So are the sister models VW ID.4 and Skoda Enyaq. Also considering the Opel Grandland. It doesn't have the most range (but enough), but the price seems OK, and we really want a car that's pretty silent on the inside (which I think this is).
All of these would probably be good enough for us – so the next thing is just to try them out, and see what we like. The most sensible option would probably be a two-year-old Ioniq 5, EV6, ID.4, or Enyaq – as the other models would have to be bought new.

@jarrod Thanks! 🫶🏻

@stephenrobles.com Cool! Saved to watch later. 👌🏻
I just bought it myself for a similar use case — but it’s the first time I have a computer like this, so always looking for more inspiration.
(Here’s the blog post I made about my setup: havn.blog/2024/11/12/m...)

@viticci.macstories.net I store my files a third place (the NotePlan folder actually), but I access them with both Paper and Ulysses. It’s files-based, so you could use it to edit files in your Obsidian vault as well. And the iOS app is also great! (4/4)

@viticci.macstories.net I like Ulysses! I currently use it to review blog post, and publish them to Micro.blog. But even though I like writing in it (way nicer than Obsidian 🫣), I like writing in Paper even more. Have you tried it?
(I wrote a pretty extensive review of Paper here (3/4)

@viticci.macstories.net But I also really like the (free) iA fonts, with their varying degrees of monospaced-ness. (2/4)

@viticci.macstories.net I like switching things up when I write — and recently I’ve enjoyed having different typefaces in different apps (to give them a distinctive feel). I recently purchased TT Norms (which come in both sans, mono, and serif), so I use them in my main app currently. (1/4)

@jeremynikolic.com PSA: You can change every hotkey on macOS!
You can natively change every hotkey that has a menu item in System Settings, and both those and others with Keyboard Maestro. (I wrote a guide here once: havn.blog/2024/10/01/h...)

@jeremynikolic.com Ooh, that’s a good trick!

@thisone0verhere.bsky.social The hack you’re looking for is refillable stuff a la Traveler’s Notebook! You can have great paper, a great cover, and not be afraid to write in it!

@pratik That is a good point!
But if you still want to cross-post, I have two suggestions: 1. Maybe Croissant ads Micro.blog support in time?
2. If you're already paying for Setapp ('cause it's too expensive for this if not), I'd check out using the Inbox in Ulysses for micro posts. Publish to Micro.blog from there, and have it cross-post onwards.

@patrickrhone Folkehøyskoler are amazing! What's her general interests? I might have some advice for schools. :)
(For instance, the one I went to was all-music.)

@numericcitizen Yeah – there's something specifically wrong with Chromium browsers! I want to look into this today – so I made this post to test with, to make sure I don't break anything else. ☺️
Could also be an excuse to improve the performance on my site in general, heh. And thanks for the comment, so I can test the looks of those as well! 😁
(Slightly unrelated: If you haven't already, I recommend checking out Zen! And not only because my blog currently works better in it. ;) )

@silbey.bsky.social Yeah! I guess those who complain about both (frequent spec bumps, and no updates) would say they want frequent large updates. 🤷🏻♂️
(BTW, did you write this comment via Bluesky login from the blog post? Can you see, or did you get notified about, this reply I've written from Micro.blog?)

@jarrod Hehe, yeah — I could see them thinking that. But honestly, I don’t think catering to those who want it in the front is the main reason. I think it’s as simple as: «We want the Mac to have a small footprint, but also it having a decent port selection. Guess we gotta out some of them in the front. 🤷🏻♂️» And I think they put the right ones in the front. 🙂

@jarrod I honestly get it: They could either cater to those who want it in the back (more permanent use) or to those who want it in the front (probably more for those who just want to stick in a pair of headphones from time to time — less permanent stuff). Not to both.
I dont know the numbers in each group: But there is more room for ports in the front, and, as you say, there’s lots of solutions for the back. Even this little bugger!
So I guess I don’t find it strange. But I get that some would prefer it be otherwise. 🙂
