Yay! @haydon is back with a webbed brief update, asking the very relevant question What Happened To Text Inputs?{:class=“u-in-reply-to”}
Goats graze. Sanna smiles.
Searching for ice returns a category named Ice Skating in Photos.app, with relevant photographs of my nieces on skates. Also, this:
I wouldn’t call that skating. 😂
Just got an email with the subject line: “Great simplification of our price plans!”. What it should have said: “We’re increasing your price by 67%”. 🥲
Partial repeat from yesterday: same wreath, different setting.
Three things to note with my search plug-in for Micro.blog:
- A search for tire will also match tires and tirelessly.
- Searching for emojis like 😍 and 🎉 is possible.
- Results are linkable: https://dahlstrand.net/search-space/?q=tire.

I love how the Caproni Stipa – aka the flying barrel – looked like an airplane from a comic book or cartoon but, you know, actually could take off and fly. 🤯
If you ever get an email with the subject line re: fish can, you should know it’s an okay anagram for the word franchise but also a lousy excuse for yours truly to be able to check off today’s challenge.
I miss you, my aluminum-bodied friend. When was the last time we had a project together? 🤔 We should team up again for this year’s Christmas card batch. 🦾
3 × Game Boy:
- Gekkio is doing God’s work, reverse engineering Game Boy’s SM83 CPU core.
- Allison added a hinge to a Game Boy that God never intended.

If you’re leaving Twitter and want to take your tweets with you, notice that the archive lacks alternative texts. Your image descriptions won’t be there. But don’t worry! Thanks to @hbeck, there’s a solution. 🎉
!!Con might be one of the coziest computer conferences there is. This year Marlene shared how to impress your crush, Anjana’s talk was a musical – about Lambda Calculus, and I enjoyed Omar’s and Nicole’s talks and their websites. All the above and more are available over here.
Everyone! Leave the Micro.blog timeline for a while and go experience @heyloura’s beautifully designed website.
The earliest Micro.blog timeline entry (the identifier with the lowest number) I could find is https://micro.blog/riverfold/2. So what happened to the first one, @manton? 😊
So I hung out with my nieces today and was handed a manuscript they’re working on; for a theater show. I get to play the role of… Yule ham. 🐷
In one scene, the ham gets a whipped cream cake in its face?! The kid’s uncle will likely adjust the script before the premiere. 😅
With the fall of the Twitter consensus I am energized. I remember what it was like in the 2000s; I remember the liveliness and sparkle of those days on the web. […] The web is wide open again, for the first time in what feels like forever.
Brent on what happens After Twitter.
And then a few months later, the people actually running those instances are going to start flexing their muscle, and the users’ response will be, “Wait, who even are you? This sucks. I just wanted my memes”.
It’s gonna go great!
I’m with jwz on Mastodon and federation.
I have a slight suspicion that the bottle used for my gin and tonic might be possessed. 😈
