Creating a decent Netflix password

Pop quiz you’re at an Airbnb in Montauk with 10 friends. After a rousing game of flip cup, the party is threatening to slow down… until someone says they want to watch the new Beyoncé live concert film. Someone else navigates to the Netflix icon on the AppleTV. But then…...

Prevent Default

@atoponce @marshray I actually read a lot of blog posts while solving programming problems.
There are still a lot of really informative blogs around.

And, fun fact, I am just now implementing a new, non-marketing blog for a company.

@marshray I read things that people have written on web sites. I don't usually notice whether they call this a "blog" or not.

@TimWardCam @marshray
Right .. 😀

It doesn't matter how you call it.

On Mastodon there are quite a few who post long stories. I hardly ever read then.

A short introduction on Mastodon (or other sm) makes me interested to click and read the whole story.

@marshray I have a blog and approx 0 care so I de facto abandoned it as a poor ROI. which I bet tons of others got bit by too
@marshray I miss I wrote a blog post in the last 7 days option :-)

@marshray
'I’m reading a blog post right now actually'

in the way that I did just before returning to Mastodon.. 😅

@marshray wheres the option to say you write lots of blog posts but don't actually read many
@marshray This is gonna be a *very* biased sample 😂
@swfinder Nonsense!
This is *precisely* the influencer demographic we’ll want to reach when we release our new line of Blog™ brand electric nose hair trimmers.
@marshray @ireneista I read a science article in an actual paper magazine today but I know it doesn't count.
@corbden @marshray congratulations on finding a magazine that still exists though

@ireneista @marshray They had some NatGeos in amongst the BHGs (Better Homes and Gardens) at the eye doctor, and my internet wasn't working, so....

It was a really fun read about the massive fusion project in France. I enjoyed the experience more than I expected.

@marshray I did! I was happy to see K8s co-creator Joe Beda start a new blog: https://joe.dev/posts/thinking-out-loud/
Thinking out loud, with a URL I own

On returning to writing, ditching the platforms, and what ATproto makes possible.

@marshray Re: Blog Posts
I have an RSS reader that reminds me to read blog posts.
@marshray possibly missing follow-up, "was the blog post that you read actually useful, or was it SEO/AI slop?" 😭

@marshray Very surprised with the results. I thought blogs were dead.

Now do one about podcasts.

DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN

@marshray I recently worked with a group outside my field to promote some events, and I was shocked to discover that the web itself isn't taken as significant for communication. It's just a medium for social apps or other walled gardens.
@marshray i read a blog post from someone here on mastodon. My own blog is dead and burried.

@marshray thank you for saying "blog post", not "blog". 😐

"i read a blog".
"what, all of it?"

@marshray I voted "in the last 7 days", though I’m not completely certain. I for sure read my own blog for proof-reading - not sure whether that counts…
@marshray since we are on a (micro-)blogging website. We are all strictly reading a blog post right now.

@marshray I suppose writing technically counts as reading at the same time? ;)

But yeah, I do also read other blogs.

@marshray I bookmark a lot on Mastodon and then try to read it when I have time and energy, usually weekends. But I'm usually continuously reading something.

...and then I wonder why I don't have any energy over for reading books.

@marshray Looking at my open tabs I'm even reading 10 of them *right now*.
@marshray I can't read the poll options sadly
@marshray
Does “I’m reading an RSS feed of a blog post” count?
