Thanks for your thoughts Aaron. You raise an issue that hadn't occurred to me: being able to eat things that you don't get at home because nobody else likes those things. I do that when I'm eating out, even if I'm not alone, but yes, that works too.
I just backed Bokeh: Private, independent, and user-funded photo sharing on @Kickstarter

Fine article on global diets, but lord it is annoying to discover that an image credit is baked into the image. Makes tracking down the original, so that I can give credit if I use it, that much more difficult.
A full test: how do show notes display in podcast apps?
If you care about anything apart from the audio of the podcasts you subscribe to, you may want to check that the app you use gets a good rating for how it displays show notes.
Excellent news. 10Centuries now has a clickable permalink even for brief social status updates.
TextEdit goes out of its way to destroy data
Like so many other standard tools in macOS, TextEdit is another festering sore on the rump of Apple’s engineering indolence.
Yikes. (Not that I ever actually use TextEdit to do anything.)
All Podcasts Are Shows; Not All Shows Are Podcasts
As a side note, I think the $100 million in venture capital that Luminary raised is going to be $100 million flushed down a toilet.
The sooner the better, AFAIAC
Extinction Rebellion, David Blunkett and Me
Very interesting and thoughtful read. How one sanctimonious ex-MP turned "a stereotypically diffident Englishman who hates getting in other people’s way and making an exhibition of myself" into a potentional eco-anarchist, although he also very sensibly denies that label, it being utter tosh.
Mexican X-plainer: Balls, Nuts & Avocados
Because an article on Medium is obviously a lot more long-lived and citable than a Twitter thread, right?
Luckily, someone else is taking care of keeping it available. https://web.archive.org/web/20190125102937/https://medium.com/@davidbowles/mexican-x-plainer-balls-n...
Which is why I support The Internet Archive and not Medium.
Very hard to believe that Tanner Campbell chose to put his very IndieWeb idea about podcasting on Medium rather than on his own domain. Of course, the idea will never work because the big players don't need it and the small ones won't hurt anyone by witholding their labour.
Hearsay Festival is the Coachella of creative audio
I don't know what Coachella is (well, not directly) but I do know that Hearsay is the business.
We Built a (Legal) Facial Recognition Machine for $60 – Theoreti.ca
A particularly interesting take on a topic that most people have mostly reacted to with horror or naivete.
Fastmail users: Is it possibly to delete the attachments from a batch of emails either as a batch or with a script of some sort?
I do not want to delete the emails, only the attachments.
