I just watched this tragic yet truly inspirational documentary about Aaron Swartz - creator of RSS, Creative Commons, and Markdown, (three things I use daily) as well as the activist for #OpenAccess and #InternetFreedom who took down the SOPA bill. This is the kind of dedication that is so rare and yet so important for us to move forward as a society.

@alexanderniki @jonn There’s one in development they’re currently calling “Artemis,” that’s modeled after @christianselig ‘s awesome Apollo app for Reddit on iOS. It’s entering beta now.

Sorry about the lack of avatar and such - literally just created my account. 😬

Old #Kindle, model D01100. Small smear in the LCDs, doesn’t render even a letter illegible.

I have a newer Kindle. My old one collects dust.

Sell it? Maybe get $5.

But, I’d happily trade it for a guarantee it goes to someone who loves to read, especially a child.

Any suggestions, I’m much obliged. The trade could be over a beer and stories. I’d love that.

Please boost. The more who see this, the better to share a love of #reading. I’m in SE PA, US.

I read a toot (I hate this word) from someone recently exhorting people to “star” more toots, more often. I am not going to do that. In fact, since I’ve mostly moved over to Mastodon, I’ve made it a point NOT to star things unless I really wanted to save them. Instead, if I want to acknowledge something someone posted, I will respond and say so directly. I will not short hand it via the star button. The star button, as the like button, and other similar devices, is a lie.

Please boost for sample size.

The best reading experience on mobile phones is when the website uses for paragraphs that are:

Nutjobs want to debate vaccines?
Here you go.

"This is about saving cities. Without commuting office workers, the office buildings go empty, they become worth a fraction of their cost, and retail cannot survive."

God it's depressing that people believe this is the true nature of downtowns.

Cities predate commutes. The hollowed out core that triples in population, swelled to bursting with bored and unhappy suburbanites during work hours, is a modern abomination made possible by cars and structural racism.

What's killing downtowns is that we spent so long on this awful vision of work and spent half a century strangling inner city infrastructure to subsidize incredibly expensive suburban lifestyles.

Want to make downtowns viable again? Convert dead office space to apartments and schools and colleges and other spaces people can work *and* live in.

Good luck with your rezoning applications though.

Great visual showing why even getting 90% of the implementation budget might simultaneously sound like a lot and lead to unusable results...
