@avery I found another abandoned Mozilla project for your site! https://togetherjs.com/ seems to be unmaintained as of 2014… 🙂
@mhoye @bgcarlisle @gnomon would that work for desktop, too? (I’m not sure if panes make a lot of sense on a small device…)
@bgcarlisle @gnomon @mhoye (Having said that, I’ll mention it to our UX folks, who are thinking about what the browser could and should be. 🙂)
@bgcarlisle @gnomon @mhoye I like the idea, but suspect it would be more confusing than useful to most people, and don’t understand why it would be better than having multiple windows…

I love that Helix bikes are finally wending their way into the wild! I'll be on my Brompton for 4-5 more years at least (as long as my health and luck in traffic hold out...) but I love the design of these things. It's been a very long path from original crowdfunding through many, many production delays, but they're here!!

(For the record, the irony that I’m posting this on the “social” media platform where I have the fewest followers is not lost on me.)
At someone else’s office Christmas party, watching two separate groups of people trying to do “the floss”, and it strikes me a) just how old I am 🙄, and b) how connections between people are so vital to maintaining social cohesion and individual happiness…

So I'm still trying to not post politics and news stuff here.
But fwiw, dear trans folks: I like you and think you're all cute.
What if Angry Birds was about Twitter all this time? 🤔

@graydon Absolutely! Let me know if you’re ever going to be in Toronto, eh? 🙂

@gnomon Thanks. I’m sure it will all work out eventually. And in the meantime I’m escaping by reading a new Rust book and thinking about playing 7 Billion Humans (the sequel to sequel to Human Resource Machine).

I fucked something up a little while ago, and am finding it hard to stop focusing on it. 🙁 I mean, I think it’s fixable, but it’ll take some time.
But the worst part is that the person it affects now no longer trusts me. I thought our working relationship was strong enough to not be totally shattered by one (admittedly large) mistake, but I guess I was wrong, and now don’t know whether I should even try to repair the relationship or not…
