Also I have a second Mastodon account

My Mastodon self follows my Threads self. Bluesky self stands alone. Twitter self remains a stubborn island. TikTok self has occasional experiments. Facebook self enjoys the old friends. Book self reads quietly. Meta self will play mini golf every few months.

Apple Vision Pro, my review so far. Almost a week with this has shown me amazing potential, a need for more apps, endless multitasking, and a learning curve for a whole new interface.
