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!!)

Pinky and The Brain were based on two producers at warner bros animation and i cant get over how they really just drew these guys as mice without changing anything else

I made a graph of all my past relationships.

It has an ex axis and a why axis.

I feel bad when I go to delete an app from my iPhone because they all start shaking with fear wondering which one is about to die.

Very sad to hear that Herb Gintis passed away. I only met Herb a few times in person, but he and Sam Bowles played a key role in building the UMass economics program, and contributed to a wide range of inquiry. His work inspired me as an undergrad to go into economics.

Welcoming another CNNer to Mastodon (to the Irish server too) -- @adamlevinecnn

Are you a civic technologist and open source enthusiast, who wants to shake up the system by helping governments break down silos and actually collaborate on shared software/services for better outcomes and reduced costs -- all while working with an amazing, highly experienced set of folks at a supportive org?

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: arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/1

@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"
