Had a conversation this morning on the importance of not shaming people for learning new things that they “should have known already.” It reminded me of this XKCD from a few years back.
Seems weird that The Matrix and The Iron Giant, both released in 1999, are so prominent in marketing for Ready Player One, which is based entirely around nostalgia for the 1980s.

The name Logan’s popularity tracks Wolverine’s
Also interesting: Logan’s popularity tracks Wolverine’s. Rising in the 1980s to plateau around the time he was showing up in every X-book plus the movies.

The biggest roadblock to adoption and the key feature
I’m kind of reminded of XKCD’s initial response to Google+
Ultimately, though, I think the separate instances are going to be both the biggest roadblock to adoption and the key feature that distinguishes Mastodon from Twitter.
Wait, is there a taboo against naming that other microblogging site? that other microblogging site. Should I call it “You-know-where” or “That which must not be named?”
(I will admit I was amused to see someone refer to it as “The Bad Place” yesterday.)
…and I just noticed the editing error in this toot. :facepalm:
I do wonder about permanence, though: How often do Mastodon instances shut down? How much notice?
Data Export seems to only cover follow/block/mute lists so far. I suppose I could hook up my atom feed to IFTTT or something.
Or I can just do what I do with “the bird site,” and if I really want to make sure I keep something I’ve written, copy it over to my blog.
Instagram has gotten good at targeting ads…
Instagram has gotten good at targeting ads. I follow a lot of scenic photographers, and several travel companies are sponsoring scenic shots. Good ones.
I’m not sure whether to be disturbed, or look at it in terms of XKCD’s idea of constructive spambots
