@binarydigit @emilymoranbarwick Ha! I have nothing against social.lol, I just already set up on micro.blog and mastodon.social. Do I need more?? 😆

New blog post: Building a Gaming PC in 2025 Takes a Community https://chrisenns.com/2025/07/building-a-gaming-pc-in-2025-takes-a-community/

New blog post: I’m Happy You’re Here https://chrisenns.com/2025/07/im-happy-youre-here/

@binarydigit do what you want of course - but I think your (and our) humanity shines through by the things we create and put out into the world, even when it’s digital.

And especially when it’s authentic or vulnerable. That’s something AI will never be able to replicate.

On Thursday I’m going to be chatting with @binarydigit about streaming, Discord, and community around Twitch and things. Starting at noon Eastern time (if I have my timezones right 😆) on my Twitch channel. https://www.twitch.tv/lemoncasting

I’m going to livestream this afternoon talking with Tim about naming things and whatever else comes up, so feel free to join in a couple hours from RIGHT NOW on Twitch. 😆 https://www.lemonproductions.ca/live

Nodding along to Leah Reich’s thoughts here: We don’t need no innovation. https://www.leahreich.com/we-dont-need-no-innovation/

@binarydigit Here's hoping all the crap still works from last week. 😆

I’m going to be live streaming this afternoon trying out Riverside’s video editing abilities (1:45pm CST / 2:45pm EST). Feel free to join on Twitch or YouTube. https://www.lemonproductions.ca/live

Just as our shovelling muscles were starting to relax, here comes more snow Saskatoon.

@karam There isn't an automatic way to add a share button for Bluesky, but I did add the Mastodon one. I'm sure Bluesky is on the roadmap as @buttondown is pretty savvy that way.

I feel bad for anyone who disagrees but is forced to stay at WordPress / Automattic for financial or other reasons. What a clown show Matt Mullenweg has turned this into. “The Community Is In Chaos”. https://www.404media.co/wordpress-checkbox-login-wp-engine/

Not that I really wondered, but great to see that Micro.blog has no interest in owning or selling user data. https://www.manton.org/2024/02/27/ive-seen-a.html

@buttondown I’m getting a 500 error trying to comment on your post you link to. https://newsletter.buttondown.email/archive/updates-from-november/

I don't use it all the time, but when I want to catch up on posts, @elk's Zen mode is a nice way to get all the UI chrome out of the way and just read the words.

Any @elk users - is there a way to turn off these pop ups for avatars and account names? I have "GitHub cards" turned off in preferences, but can't seem to find anything else to do it.

I dig it - but it also gets in the way of just scrolling through the timeline sometimes.
