I used to have no knees at all. Now I do knee exercises that I hate with a passion.

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

I think that is a part of the problem as well, the amount of the school fees does not necessarily correlate with the quality of the education.

This is the garbage we get if we allow for-profit education.
Their aim is not to provide great education. It is all about shareholder value 🤮

I don’t even know what it is that I’m watching here, but I’m sure it can’t be more British than this.

“The run back” hahaha!

And then they dropped “the run home”. I lost it 😂😂😂

This made my partner smile. She hates MS Teams and complains about having to use it every day.

Scientific American has updated the figure, now grouped into swimmers, fliers, walkers/runners, and vehicles. A person on a bicycle remains the most efficient way to travel, compared to all forms of biological locomotion and mechanical transport.

Yes. And there is still so much being done today. If I compare the 10km of roads I cycled on to school - when I was 12 in ‘97 - to how they look now, it’s even more cycling friendly now.
This also means lots of places starting that journey now, can - in theory - skip to the latest best version.

The clouds also looked weird today. Or maybe we are just not used to seeing them anymore after being in smog season for a few months.

What a stunning day today! Everything looks so much better if there is (almost) no air pollution.

And it was surprisingly not so hot today.

Great day to be out on a #bicycle ride in #bangkok

The threat of web apps for them is enormous because what it means is that web apps are equal on all devices. And so if you build a web app, it’s going to work equally on Android, I mean, without these blockers it’s going to work equally on Android as well as iOS. And then that loses their competitive advantage. In addition, there’s no App Store fees. I think it’s around $24 billion a year in App Store fees at the moment. But obviously, if it was going via the web. They don’t collect any of that revenue. The other thing it would also allow, it would allow for other competitors. So if you think about other mobile phone ecosystems, there’s pretty much iOS and Android. It’s not really possible for a third or a fourth or a fifth competitor to come into the market because you need that entire ecosystem set up. If web apps had been allowed to succeed and were the predominant form of apps, anybody could create a mobile device because then you’d have access to the library of apps that you need to be successful. And I’d argue that one of the reasons, say, Windows Phone didn’t take off was because they didn’t have the library of apps. And it was too much of an uphill battle to try and sell each of the developers. You got your iOS app, you got your Android app. Can you now build a Windows app as well? Alex Moore

Congrats to the man! Those pastries look very nice 🤤

Makes sense. For what it's worth, it is really easy to move PDS with that moover tool :)

PDS MOOver ATProto account migration tool

You can also move your bsky PDS to Eurosky's PDS: pdsmoover.com/moover/euros...

No! It just makes other things wet

I finally moved my account to 🇪🇺 by migrating it to @npmx.dev's npmx.social PDS (hosted in the EU).

It was very easy with @baileytownsend.dev's tool pdsmoover.com/moover/npmx.social

Brilliant 😂🤣

Very interesting conversation with Alex Moore, Executive Director of @open-web-advocacy.org

Innovation indeed doesn't come from the gatekeepers. Particularly Apple has been fighting any form of progress for way too long.

I shouldn’t read that on a rest day haha! Motivation to push hard tomorrow though :)
