Instagram so thirsty for engagement and jealous of those 44 billion Musk bucks.

Not enjoying having to spend the day dealing with a dead minivan battery. On the upside, it died in our garage so we could charge it enough to be able to drive it to a mechanic and get a new battery swapped in. On the downside, that costs money.

This is definitely an ice cof. Tastes like it’s missing the d, f, f, and e.

Co-signing @manton’s post Dear Elon Musk. I know there won’t be a mass exodus from Twitter until there’s a new place to land with enough people to make it all worthwhile. But I do encourage you to write & post elsewhere as well so you’re not locked in to any one platform.

TikTok has a Live Studio app (Windows only) for live streaming out to TikTok - enabling gamers to stream. You need to have 1,000 followers or more to use it. Privacy issues aside, it’s interesting to watch them iterate so much faster than Instagram / Meta in this space.

Found via @veronique - yet another really simple blogging site called Bear blog with a delightful tagline of “Publish something awesome with your bear hands.” Free to use, custom domain support, and just write.

If you’ve been using Warp for a macOS terminal, check for an update before updating to Ventura. Nothing critical but will save you having to manually download the app again.
