A peer let me know they throttle all their reading through Flipboard. So, now I’m rethinking POSSE where E now includes Flipboard.

Big #newsletter updates - Fudge Sunday is now Fudge Factor https://fudge.org/archive/fudge-factor/
05:50 PM
Daily #newsletter is now Hot Fudge Daily with a free Hot Fudge Sunday edition https://hot.fudge.org/archive/welcome-to-hot-fudge-sunday/
06:19 PM
And I’ll eventually be adding a #podcast format for the #newsletter (maybe both?) as I get my setup locked in better over time. #obs is my tool of choice for sending things to YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUGHJlphaLc

Tried noplace and just sent this to wrap up pre deletion and asked to export my data. Within the app settings menu “export my data 🥹“ item that is just a mailto url with To set to halp @ thenoplace.com with a Subject set as
Export My Data:
Based on the ticket number, I’m possibly one of a thousand or so that have asked for an export.

My pi-hole approved list of FQDNs continues to grow one specific entry at a time. This is still soooo good and better than 1/5 of traffic is being effectively blocked by DNS.

Placid Doe Flamingo 😌🦌🦩
On a long enough timeline our emoji will be more precision meme dense… but for now we approximate and hope for understanding.

These simple demands are suggestions for #linkedincreators… LinkedIn suggests posting, commenting, and contributing a minimum of three times per week.
In my anecdotal experience, it is not effective to go beyond the minimum. Rather, the opposite effect is that both impressions and engagements (vanity metrics) suffer. 🤷♂️
Sooo… I am taking the week off to see if under the minimum has any impact.

A quick message from Lida:
With 18 years building, marketing, and scaling products at startups, I work with founders and leaders stuck between where they are and where they need to be. I help you cut through the noise, make sharper decisions, and get your team executing with clarity instead of chaos.
Most founders mistake complexity for strategy. They keep adding when they should be subtracting. When I'm brought in, the team is usually doing a lot right, and the real issue is focus and direction. I diagnose what's actually going wrong across product, positioning, and execution, then reset direction and get everyone aligned around one clear path forward that will lead to growth.
A bit of what I've done: I was the first PM on a fintech product that hit 10,000+ users within months, built a national incubator that supported over $500M in startup funding, and led teams at 23 Design before it was acquired by frog (the design team behind Apple’s first products). I've spoken at Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn, etc.
