[Lemmy Thread](https://lemmy.world/post/23872498 ““Things Themes for Arctic” on the Arctic Lemmy Community”) I’ve maintained a fairly prolific habit of “adapting” the color palettes of Cultured Code’s Things 3 (light and dark) for the various software in which I spend most of my time.
I was excited to have another opportunity to do so, recently, for my favorite Lemmy client! So far, I’m still fiddling with the Light version, but the Dark version is available below!

(Forgot to conclude the story: I just immediately left the server.)
Anecdotally… An opportunity to compare transcript generation between Microblog’s and the “Apple Intelligence” transcripts now available in Voice Memos:

As much as I genuinely enjoyed my free trial + then some paid time using Glass, I’m just not able/interested in image capture right now to continue paying $6.99 a month for it. I was pretty excited, then, to discover that micro.blog’s macOS app offers support for importing the .zip profile export files Glass creates, and to report that I have imported 18 images from my profile to this blog successfully.

Some time in late Summer 2021, I stumbled into another of the handful of nigh-inconceivable conversation opportunities which Twitter Spaces would offer me.
Marquis Trill - someone I’m still not 100% convinced I actually remembered from the ~2012 Twitter Epoch - decided to just fuckin go on Spaces one day for the first time. And - as per the nature of Spaces - I guess I just hopped in the mf too.

in This Present Time I can have regular interactions with my adolescent celebrity crush that I *actually* would not be able to convince my 14-year-old self are real. not because of their significance but the opposite.
calling her mom is like... the only even remotely reasonable outcome, btw. she *is* a mom several times over, now. and 46.

AMERICANS:
FINALLY HAVE ENOUGH 'FREEDOM' YET?
I am so fucking sick of Freedom. Freedom sucks. Freedom doesn't work. I'm tired of trying to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing. PRISON would be refreshing!!!
swap me out for a family of immigrants. it is long past my turn to serve some time.
you are all screaming about how you feel your "Freedom of Expression" is in danger so much that it has become the entirety of what you have to express.

Notably missing from both the film and this interview: not only have these issues been discussed and researched for decades, now, but a biome of alternatives to EVERY SINGLE CRITICIZED COMPANY/SERVICE EXISTS and HAS EXISTED for years. bit.ly/3fd3Xxn
there is a search engine that is basically just Bing except most of the profit generated by the adtech goes to PLANTING TREES. (Ecosia)
there are decentralized social networks (Mastodon, Diaspora) that often OUTPERFORM the proprietary big boys because they're still incentivized to craft the HIGHEST QUALITY experience rather than the most lucrative.

still working on my post about Facebook. it's over 7500 words now... sorry.
so far, I've used the word "Facebook" 135 times.
I'm pretty sure I'll have it up before the end of the week. and then I will never have to write about Facebook again...
10,000 words now... I think I need to take a break. definitely should be able to wrap up, polish, and publish tomorrow.
I COMPLETELY missed the Twitter hack.

E
— Skrillex (@Skrillex) May 15, 2010 It came to my attention today that my good friend Sonny Moore (commonly known as Skrillex) Tweeted “E” from his BlackBerry at 0732 CST on May 15th, 2010. If I’m ever given the opportunity to interview him, I’ll begin by questioning his choice in smartphones. (Can you imagine how awful the Twitter for BlackBerry client must’ve looked in 2010?)
From what I’ve sampled of his art, I’m confident he’s an emotionally intelligent man, and probably not house producer Joel Zimmerman (commonly known as Deadmau5.
