Is it weird that the Advent of Code problems keep me up at night? I don’t mean I’m staying up late working on them, I mean I’m lying in bed trying to figure out how to find a single point in a 4,000,000x4,000,000 grid populated by scanners with varying positions and ranges. ZZzzzzzzzzzz

I’m turning off my automated news feed on my micro.blog (https://leo.social). If you still want links to stories we’re planning to cover on TWiT follow:
Thanks!
So I guess this means I have three Fediverse accounts: leo.social, @leo@twit.social, and @leolaporte@pixelfed.social.
Not to mention my long abandoned mastodon.social account.
And I always thought I was anti-social.
Hello. I’m reconnecting my micro.blog to leo.social. I’m also @leo@twit.social.
And this is why I love living in Petaluma.
Definitely confused.
Outside the beautiful cathedral. They hit the bell with a massive hammer.
And off we go to Barcelona.

Am I misunderstanding something @manton? Leo.micro.blog has everything I post. Micro.blog/Leo does not.
I’m setting things up for my vacation but some of my posts aren’t appearing in the timeline. They DO appear at Leo.social which is my micro.blog site. Maybe there’s a lag?
Triple threat: toot, tweet, and micro.blog… all from my Apple Watch. Technology, what a concept.
Let’s try this again. Drafts ➡️ micro.blog.
brew install bat alias cat=‘bat’
mind = blown
Spent an excellent Friday with Apple legend Bill Atkinson. We talked for five hours about Lisa, Macintosh, Hypercard, psychedelics, the Iboga ritual. General Magic, and neuroscience.
Part one is out now at twit.tv/shows/tri… Part two in a week or so.
Drat. I keep accidentally posting the micro.blog token when enabling Drafts. (@agiletortoise does Drafts eat the token before it posts to micro.blog? Am I doing this wrong?)
So I’m using Drafts on my Apple Watch to post this to microblog. Does that count as crossing the streams @agiletortoise?
Checking in.
A first attempt to use Microcast audio micro.blogging.
Hey @manton - when did you add audio micro.blogging? Great idea! I shall try it forthwith.
Two updates: Looks like mastodon.network has folder, and quitter.no is going away in September. So I’m moving my GNU.social account to mastodon.social/@leolapor…
…and…
in association with that I’m using Keybase.io as an identity proof for all my online streams:
Finger’s back, baby!
Lately I feel like Twitter and its users are suffering from some sort of mass psychosis. It’s all id - to use a Freudian term. And it’s communicable. I’ve seen normal rational people descend into madness tweet by tweet. I’ve felt it happen to me. Why? Is it the format that breeds this? Does that mean it would happen here? Or is it format + critical mass, like a petri dish? Could this medium breed generosity and kindness instead of rage and agression? What do you think?
Hey! I can use the iOS Drafts app to micro.blog, too. That’s cool.
