Several days ago, Twitter announced the API will no longer be free. Then Elon backtracked, saying maybe "good" bots will be free. We still have no idea. It's stunning how badly they are handling... well, everything. 2k employees is still a lot! It's not the staff, it's the chaos.

Setting up more Micro.blog accounts today to be ActivityPub-enabled. Folks will get an email when this is enabled. It can be turned off, and we'll likely be adding some more settings here too.

Excited as LeBron gets closer to the all-time points record. Should happen tonight or Thursday. I loved watching Kareem when I was growing up. Always a Spurs fan now, but it's been a long time since the Spurs/Heat finals... LeBron has won me over. 🏀

Continuing to tweak how we handle Mastodon servers that are down. A lot of instances come and go. Micro.blog is better now about retrying connections but also noticing when a server is probably not coming back.

Lots of NBA news. Poeltl back to the Raptors. Will miss him, loved having him on the Spurs. Durant to the Suns. And this is mind-boggling on the failed Brooklyn experiment:
Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden all arrived to conquer the NBA together, and they all left on the muscle of trade requests. They played a total of 16 games together.

We're caught up on Last of Us on HBO, and also started playing the game on PS4. I've been mostly in the Nintendo world for years, so I missed a lot of really good PlayStation games. Nice thing about waiting: it was only $10. 🕹️

Posted @coreint episode 547 with a recap of last week's ice storm in Austin, and then a long discussion about enabling Mastodon-compatible usernames in Micro.blog and what the impending Twitter API changes might mean for Micro.blog.

I love emoji, but I seem to have become grumpy about custom emoji (like Slack or Mastodon) because they don’t actually work anywhere else on the web. Maybe it’s time for me to let go and embrace the fun, despite the inconsistencies.
