Happy 71st Birthday, Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web!
missed the apple keynote. so, for fun, I will skip the various tech reporting sites and instead review apple's new webpages. - which new delights and horrors will I discover? - what will be foisted upon macOS? iOS? iPadOS? - how will things meaningfully improve? will they? good luck, me! fun!
hmm haven't encountered one of these for a bit of time when clicking a link. after brief testing, most links in a post or in-card in a post do not present the link popover dialog box. I wonder what the trigger logic is for these popovers.

I use multiple music streaming sites, mobile, and desktop apps every day. and every day is the most disappointed I am in the current state of music streaming sites and apps! 🙃 currently using: - soundcloud go+ - youtube music premium - apple music the problem here is that none of these are rdio
the daily side quest that is viewing + improving my "For You" feed: bad parts: - unending posts shown that are *not applicable* for me (therefore, 'Show less like this') - time consuming in a tedious way good parts: - shows _mostly_ decent posts - using 'Show more like this' seems to help fun!

Students, if you’re thinking about dropping a note to that teacher or professor about what their class/project/mentorship has meant to you, but you worry it will be cringe or cheesy, let me just tell you they will coast on the fuzzy feelings prompted by that note for months, if not years
