Chronophoto, guess the year photos were taken: my best score is 4,009 https://www.chronophoto.app/game.html
Chronophoto - Game

Play the online game that tests your knowledge of pop culture and history. Simple and fun. Try to guess the year a picture was taken.

I've had the idea for a weird kind of Twitter client for years. With Mastodon being all open, I've decided to do the experiment:

What if your Timeline looked like iMessage. A normal timeline confuses me to no end because everything is out of context.

My experiment, Ebou, is a Mastodon client that looks like iMessage. Conversations are grouped by friends and sorted by recent postings.

It is super basic right now, but this already feels much more natural to me 😀

I am so tired of hearing "we have to ship it and learn!" without the people saying it having any sort of idea of what they're trying to learn or how they'll know when they've learned it. Generally, they just want permission to ship something crappy and then brag about all the new features.
this was the best thing I ever tweeted

The Digital Workplace Is Designed to Bring You Down

Digital theorist Cal Newport is arguing for a new way to work.

The New York Times
I think we can all agree that this is peak design
I don’t know how to explain it, but time works differently in airports. 5 minutes and 5 hours are somehow the same. Your flight is delayed but arrives early. The carpets are from 1980. The water machines are from 2045. It is always happy hour. You have always been in the airport.

The Press are noticing that former Twitter developers are migrating to Mastodon.

What should raise eyebrows is: Ivory might be "better than Tweetbot ever could be".

This isn't mere hype.

Tweetbot was rolled out in 2011, when Twitter clients were already constrained by API limitations.

However, with Mastodon, Tapbots isn't constrained whatsoever by a proprietary API.

With open protocols, the sky is the limit in how they can innovate!

Twitter ain't limiting them!
