Best anniversary ever!

Best anniversary ever!
📷 Went to the Louvre today and spent a good number of hours it there. It’s a magical place! It’s amazing to see in person all those sculptures and paintings we see and learn about in the History books.
When someone who doesn’t know the difference between free speech and hate speech wins…
I love my Fuji camera, but its app for iOS is virtually impossible to use. I spent 30 minutes trying to make the camera and the app talk to each other, without succeed. The good thing is that the camera has an USB-C interface, therefore I can transfer photos directly to an iPad.
Micro.blog for macOS allows users to export their entries to Day One. I use Day One as a digital journal, but when importing my posts from Micro.blog I noticed some posts where missing. More specifically, posts with images. I’m submitting a patch.
The latest batch of subscriptions I canceled includes Pocket, Drafts, Tweetbot, Bear, and CARROT Weather.
The latest batch of accounts I deleted includes Airbnb, Bitbucket, Coursera, Dropbox, Evernote, Fitbit, Foursquare, Goodreads, ICQ, Keybase.io, LinkedIn, Literal, Quora, Reddit, Signal, Slashdot, Snapfish, Spotify, Steam, The Omni Group, Things Cloud, and Withings 🎉
Sorry about this person’s French, but I had to capture it 📷
The Dropout seems interesting. I’ve watched the first episode and I’m looking forward to watching more. Kinda crazy to think Theranos tried to hire my wife when we were living in California 🩸 📺

I pay around 60 EUR/year to my bank for “maintenance” and they can’t event connect both my debit and credit card to Apple Pay. It’s either/or 🤦♂️
📷 I prefer shooting with my FUJI camera, but I’m always impressed by what’s possible to do with a phone these days. I took this photo with an old iPhone Xs with an app called Obscura 3. The photo was taken in black and white, and is straight out of camera (SOOC).
I wish there was more people using Threema 💬
Yesterday I made a list of internet services I don’t use and closed them. Fifteen websites I no longer have to worry about.
Unfortunately I still need Twitter for a couple of things. Two services I use in Germany offer support via DM. If you email them, it takes more than a week to get a reply. If you DM them, it takes 10 minutes.
To delete the 8000+ remaining tweets I’ve used TweetDelete (Premium). Basically you upload your Twitter archive and the service uses the tweet IDs to delete old tweets that aren’t available in the timeline API.
Elon Musk demonstrates how little he understands about content moderation
humans are complex and ever-changing. And content moderation on a platform like Twitter is about recognizing that complexity and figuring out ways to deal with it.
I don’t get why people worship Musk.
Twitter board’s ‘poison pill’ defense against Musk takeover bid
Mark Cuban, weighed in on Twitter to share his theory that Musk is making his bid to goose the company’s stock price so he can sell his stake at a profit.
It wouldn’t be the first time he does something similar.
A couple of days ago I started deleting all my tweets. I had 18,000 tweets and managed to delete 10,000 already. My account is November 2007, and Twitter changed a lot since then; is no longer a healthy community it once was. 8,000 more tweets to go!
Decided to create a page to keep track of the Film Simulations loaded into my camera. I might document my camera settings as well, so that I remember the settings used in case I decide to restore the camera to its default settings 📷
Proton and SimpleLogin are joining forces:
(…) we’re happy to announce today that SimpleLogin has joined Proton to help further our shared mission.
ProtonMail was running behind other services, so this is big. I use Mozilla Relay and highly recommend services like this.
It’s happening!
I decided to return to Flickr, it’s still my favorite platform to share, store, and learn from others. I use Glass as well, as Instagram alternative.
Markdown in MarsEdit by @manton
Here’s a simple tip for using MarsEdit with Micro.blog. By default, formatting options in MarsEdit such as Bold and Italic map to HTML (…). You can customize them to use Markdown instead.
Excellent tip on how make ⌘B and ⌘I work with Markdown.
I already know what I’m gonna build next, and my plan is to sell it in the App Store for macOS and maybe for iOS. But I believe macOS users need it more than iOS users. I’m excited 👨💻
