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

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.
