  • When it came to email, we didn’t care about the system becoming too centralized. They were all run by large companies that had the resources to keep things running for a long time, so no need to consider how long your email will survive. Most people didn’t even know they had options. If someone you know made an aol email, then you also made an aol email. The content you receive is exactly the same regardless of where you sign up. No need to think about who federates with who, or how the instance gets moderated. Email is email.




  • I’ve been using an Ikea Henriksdal (chair for dining table) for a few years. Recently, my partner needed a new chair and had a choice between a HM Aeron or Sayl. We decided to get both and we’d then each pick the one we prefer after using them for a while. I’m on the Sayl now, but I think I actually prefer the old Henriksdal. It’s so much more spacious and lets you comfortably sit in a bunch of different positions. Both HM chairs confine you to a “proper” sitting position.
