Well well well.. Doesn’t that look like censorship?

My Medium digest gives me a title: ”Tesla Optimus Robot Is Dead On Arrival”

Opening the title gives me: ”410 - This account is under investigation or was found in violation of the Medium Rules.”

Appears the internet media establishment is scrambling to bend over backwards for the tech oligarchy.

#Fuji #X100 is probably my favoured #digital #photo #camera but for some reason I'm not that exited about the new #medium #format option, teased by Fuji recently. First of all, the design of X100 has changed a lot in its 6 iterations and not for the better. Especially the user interface of the recent models is not great, more similar to a smartphone than a camera. The other problem is the #price. Latest X100 was €1800.- and medium format will easily double that number if not more.

I won this gardener’s kit at work last year and decided to try it as a camera bag. Last weekend I threw in seven(!) cameras not counting the two on my phones! Got some more cool panoramic shots too, I hope.

How I Moved Hundreds Of Books Without Losing My Mind: Moving a lot of books can be exhausting for anyone.

Imagine how much worse it can be if you review them for a living. I describe the brutal reality in a @medium story about what happened when I recently had to move my entire library on short notice:

Why Harper Lee's New Book Is Different: I skipped Lee's "Go Set a Watchman" after reviews made clear that it was no match for her "To Kill a Mockingbird."

But the news is more promising about a book by Lee due out in October. At @medium, I explain why I'm giving it a chance (and it's not just because I live in Alabama, not far from Lee's Monroeville).

This is a good piece on #Flipboard joining the #Fediverse.
nytimes.com/2025/03/06/technol

It touches on #Ghost, #Medium, and #WordPress too, but not traditional #publishers. It makes me wonder. Will traditional publishers ever join the Fediverse? What will it take to persuade to them try, even as an experiment? Who will go first? How can we help?

Mike McCue, the chief executive of Flipboard, sees its new Surf browser as a tool to help internet users communicate without relying on a single centralized service.

For Birds-of-Paradise, Being Hot Is Not Enough to Win a Mate, They Must Also Have The Moves

"For birds-of-paradise, physical and vocal traits and behaviors evolve together, which is contrary to what we think we are seeing for most songbirds."
