Inspired by this post by Jason Snell on Six Colors, I’ve managed to create a few different shortcuts that allow me to post to my WithKnown instance through the micropub endpoint. I’ve created 5 different shortcuts: Post to blog Share link to blog Share link post to blog Post photo to blog Check-in Post to Blog The first one allows me to just create a blog post, either a status update or an article depending on the contents of the post. It takes a markdown file, or markdown text as input, converts it to HTML and posts it to my micropub endpoint. If the markdown contains a heading, then it makes that the title of the post, otherwise it just creates a status update post with no title. This is really great, because it allows me to use any text editor I want, I’m not confined to using something that has shortcuts integration or any other special features.

Paris Martineau writing for WIRED Popular vendors like Cloud Socials and BoostUp Social charge fledgling influencers $35 to $799 a month for a steady stream of interactions from prominent Instagrammers. Or aspiring influencers can go full automatic: For $10 to $100 a month and your login, automation apps will send your social media profile into a frenzy of liking, commenting, and following other accounts en masse, in an attempt to snag you a follow back.

Chris Welch writing for The Verge Many people on Reddit are highly skeptical of Cox Elite Gamer. Cox claims subscribers can “control their connection from end to end,” but the company simply doesn’t have the sort of infrastructure to make good on that promise. Cox has no say on what happens to your gaming activity outside of its own network. The most it can do is determine the best path to a server. That’s doable, and it might be enough to produce at least some improvement in terms of latency and jitter.

Shannon Carranco writing for The Globe and Mail Dank told the online group that he was using his position as a student teacher to influence young minds. These people are despicable. The story goes on to tell the story of a Canadian Armed Forces member. He also described an incident in Canada in which a Jewish military colleague complained that Rusty and other soldiers were being anti-Semitic. Rusty said he responded by arranging several handguns in the shape of a swastika on the Jewish soldier’s desk.

Eric Schmitt, David E. Sanger and Maggie Haberman writing for The New York Times: But in a meeting this year, Mick Mulvaney, the White House chief of staff, made it clear that Mr. Trump still equated any public discussion of malign Russian election activity with questions about the legitimacy of his victory. According to one senior administration official, Mr. Mulvaney said it “wasn’t a great subject and should be kept below his level.”
