Got lots of setting up to do now with the release of #elementaryOS 7.
The whole family uses it, including our kids - it's so great to have a focused, polished Linux distro for them to do their homework, watch their streams and invite us parents to their Stardew Valley farm every now and then.
Thanks @danirabbit and everyone involved!
I never appreciated #WhiteStripes Seven Nation Army until this Postmodern Jukebox arrangement came along — the New Orleans dirge style is a fantastic groove for this, plus Haley Reinhart doing this is like a master class in… EVERYTHING — she’s so amazing here!
I'm very much enjoying my upgraded iPod Classic now that I've fixed it (again!) but also want to give a shoutout to #Auxio.
I listen to music everywhere, including at the gym where I use my Android phone. At 4.7MB Auxio is the epitome of a small, useful, beautifully put-together FLOSS music app. Love it.

News breaks, we podcast. Nate Persily, @alex and I sat down to chat about Meta's Trump account reinstatement. Nate is pragmatic, Alex is cynical, and I'm a naive little formalist.
(I also misuse "beg the question" -- please forgive me!!)

Wonderful piece in Ars Technica by @b which (despite the title) talks very broadly about the fediverse, including but also far beyond just Mastodon, and has quite a few quotes from me in it: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/12/mastodon-highlights-pros-and-cons-of-moving-beyond-big-tech-gatekeepers/
@marcfbellemare@mastodon.social Those are both excellent options. I also really like the Arrow vs. Schumpeter articles on innovation.
Arrow (1962) “Economic Welfare and the Allocation of Resources to Invention.”
Schumpeter (1942). Ch 7 "The Process of Creative Destruction" and Ch 8 on "Monopolistic Practices"
