“having the resources to fact-check comes from a position of privilege” Huh? I suppose if you want someone else to check your facts that might be true, but still, why is anyone listening to this person?

To my knowledge this is the first time I've been mentioned over at Mastodon, so it seems only right and proper to see whether the wonders of IndieWeb allow me to reply there. Good to see old online friends but not sure I can handle another channel.

Having moved my Dropbox folder to an external disk in an effort to reclaim space internally, I then discovered the value of an actual symlink, which means I don't have to rewrite anything. This is a good thing.

The fight for “post” rather than “blog” is lost in many quarters, but the fight for “blog” itself is lost when none other than John Naughton can calmly point to a Substack newsletter with “Heather Cox Richardson had a memorable post on her blog:"
