Why should I be using mobile data to stream music to a $1000 phone when I can get an MP3 player for $26 that can hold 7000 songs on a micro SD card and has 80 hour battery life? The ethical and ecological impact of cheaply made products isn’t so great, but I think it’s at least worth being somewhat aware of the tradeoffs we’re making.So true.

Don’t do this! Just don’t. Autoplay ought to get you flayed alive.

Fine article on global diets, but lord it is annoying to discover that an image credit is baked into the image. Makes tracking down the original, so that I can give credit if I use it, that much more difficult.

If you care about anything apart from the audio of the podcasts you subscribe to, you may want to check that the app you use gets a good rating for how it displays show notes.

Excellent news. 10Centuries now has a clickable permalink even for brief social status updates.

An IndieWeb Book Club is a really interesting idea for people who like that sort of thing, but I am a bit Groucho Marx about clubs. I may get around to the book, or I may not, but right now I will watch from the sidelines.

All the old questions about representative democracy remain.
