This past Sunday (April 22) was the 25th anniversary of the release of Mosaic, the web browser that first brought in the inline images we take for granted today.... and in so many ways brought about the Internet as we know it today. In 1993, I was teaching “Intro to the Internet” courses to corporate clients, primarily in the northeast US, and so was watching / experimenting with Mosaic intently. It was an amazing time. I felt inspired to write about the anniversary... http://www.circleid.com/posts/20180425_april_22_1993_a_day_the_internet_fundamentally_changed/

My challenge with Mastodon (and other web services) comes down to having too many browser windows open on any given day.... I may have a couple dozen browser windows, each with 10+ tabs.... and somewhere in all that madness is mastodon. What would help was if there was a MacOS X "app". That was I could alt+tab between it or find it in the Dock. Yes, I can make an "app" using Fluid... and maybe I will. Some kind of separate window would help.

Early yesterday morning I learned that there is this whole world of “chat fiction” out there that I had no clue about... so naturally I had to record a short audio segment about it... https://soundcloud.com/danyork/tdyr-334-chat-fiction-chat

A lot of people are missing the point of the twitter boycott. Ok heres how twitter works, they sell your data to advertisers for money, any interactions, good or bad are data they can sell.
All that harassment women get? That makes them money. All the call outs, all the toxic shit, all the fights with bad people? Makes them money.
They have a vested interest in creating engagement and nothing does that better than anger. They keep the bad people around because they know you will fight them. Thats data, they can sell that and then market to people just like you.
While they market to the people who want to abuse you too.
*not using twitter* is literally the only way to hurt them.
I am using Amaroq right now, but it is an iPhone app that gets blown up to a large size. And it only works in portrait orientation.
Any good iPad clients for Mastodon? Particularly for landscape orientation?
