Microsoft just showed the future of mobile computing this morning.

Fire up the copy machine, Cupertino.

I need recommendations for a coworking space in Stockholm for 1 month. Got any?

I love raisins. They’re nature’s gummy bears.

I enjoyed “Inside Bill’s Brain” on Netflix. I hope the ideas Bill Gates has pursued post-Microsoft become commonplace. https://www.netflix.com/title/80184771

Someone stop Amazon from putting Alexa into every fucking noun.

How are the peaches in America?

I hear they’re…in.

Today is going to be one of those days where I keep a space copied to my clipboard and ⌘v between words because Apple shipped a shitty keyboard for the Macbook Pro 18 months ago.

What’s the German word for “there should be a German word for this”?

@ceejbot The VC problem?

@ceejbot The problem of centralization?

Every brand’s Instagram and Facebook posts inevitably have customers commenting for support. It’s bizarre people think that is an appropriate place to rant or get product help. It’s unfortunate Facebook hasn’t given companies a way to better deal with that.

The only pragmatic option for any hopeful contender challenging the Android—iOS duopoly is to bet on the Web.

You might say, “I don’t need official apps. Those services have public APIs and I can build a Linux client.” Except for Twitter, I haven’t used a third-party app better than the official app. And many companies—like Fitbit—explicitly prohibit recreation of primary experiences.

I love what Purism is doing with its Librem phone, but I do not believe native Linux apps are a viable strategy. If Microsoft could not convince major app makers to support Windows Phone with its incredible UWP developer experience, I do not have hope for native Linux apps.

I still want a Firefox OS tablet with stylus, like a Surface or iPad Pro, running a Firefox-powered Chrome OS with optional developer mode to run VS Code and related Web dev tools.

@robey@mastodon.technology That was a great post that went tragically off the rails suddenly and very fast.

The Hamilton Instrumentals album is an excellent way to enjoy Hamilton while having to write words or code. https://songwhip.com/album/original-broadway-cast-of-hamilton/the-hamilton-instrumentals
