Jonathan LaCour has done some great work freeing himself from Facebook and Instagram, and his post is a good starting point for others who want to do the same. So far, I confess, I have not felt the need myself. There are no photographs in either of those silos that I don't have a copy of (actually, the original, not a copy) on my desktop computer. And any text I may have place on FB is also either a copy of something here or else completely insubstantial. Heck, I'm still bringing in old blog posts to my new system by hand, very slowly, and I haven't begun to bring in old posts from a previous incarnation of this stream. Maybe it is because I was an independent blogger long before either FB or IG saw the light of day, but I have never regarded those places as worthy of original material.
Eat your heart out @replyall. @NealGoldfarb does a yes-yes-no for the ages, and all on his own, more or less.

Kudos to @DICKS for doing the right thing. If I ever needed anything that they sell, that's where I'm going to buy it.
@toggl Overall, the font size and lack of contrast make the screen hard for me to read on my iPhone 6+ and more specifically, switching between manual and automatic is more difficult and selecting clients and projects more cumbersome.
Kinda like Indie Hosters, but more suitable for Gens 3-4? Add Known support and you might get even more customers.
Jayson Lusk's reminder that the Economic Research Service is a really important source of data is valuable. His suggestion to follow the ERS's daily "chart of note" is even better.
Interesting reading, though I cannot quite see how the various personae might map onto a single micro.blog site. Nevertheless, I look forward to whatever you come up with.
One question. I know 10C offers Notes and Todos and Photos, but I have never seen anything here that would encourage me to use those facilities. My notes are in nvALT and my todos are on paper and my photos are in lot of places, but they're all on my desktop machine. So why would I want to use those facilities here? And are you sure they are worth keeping in your "silo"?
PESOS from the original site.
If I were any kind of entrepreneur (which I'm not) I'd be figuring out how to hook up with supermarkets -- or even the local greengrocer -- to turn the bananas they throw out into my highly desirable banana bread.
I hear you. There's no way on earth to be precise about the words for a pre-ferment, and I for one tend to use them interchangeably, at least to some extent. Of course, if Reinhart offered precise definitions, even hydrations, of "stiff" and "wet" that would at least make consistency possible. His video on the 12 steps is rather good, and something I show in my workshops.
Nice to see Stacey De Polo set off on her exploration of things #indieweb, but I find it hard to imagine that as of my reading, not one of her contacts on either Twitter or FB has reacted in any way. I guess some plugin work still needed. Which is part of the reason I am writing this reply.
