Funny to feel a close affinity with what is happening to a friend half a world away, and interesting that Jason too needs his parks and open spaces. The biggest park here is the remnants of an old established family villa, and so is surrounded by high walls. That is how they manage to close it off. Another big park on the other side of town is much more open, and the rumours are that the city cops are just hanging out around the perimeter, trying to keep people out.

Kudos to @Cockos for offering a temporary Reaper license to anyone who needs one to work from home.

There's no way I know of to find old spam that came into WithKnown while I was not getting notifications. I had thought that my scheme of jumping on spam as soon as possible after receiving (restarted) notifications had found them all. But no. Today surfaced a bookmark post that had accumulated 10 spams since August 2018.

Lotta continua!

On the plus side, maybe more people will stop using "exponential" as a synonym for "very large".

Nah.

I very much share and understand Amani Mena's frustrations, and often feel the same way myself. That's the problem with plurality, and building blocks, and many things, loosely joined. Too much choice. That's why when I started I went for WithKnown out of the box. Today I might recommend micro.blog. Once you're up and running, and have everything on your domain, you can learn and change systems as you do so. The key is to have everything on your domain.

That's interesting, Chris. I've just checked, and Huffduffer is picking up only my domain, and none of the other links present as rel="me" on my Home page. I wander what the difference is. Might need to ask @adactio.

Just wondering, what's so bad, the way Hans sees it, about the way Italy has handled the coronavirus?

G-FEED: COVID-19 reduces economic activity, which reduces pollution, which saves lives.

"I calculate that the reductions in air pollution in China caused by this economic disruption likely saved 20-times more lives in China than have currently been lost due to the virus in that country"

Oh boy! Data analysis rocks.
