I subscribe to six website rss feeds. I think paying an annual subscription to Feedwrangler to keep them in sync in Reeder on iOS is a little unnecessary. Guess I go manual without syncing once my current annual membership is up.

I’m watching John Wick Chapter 2. Laurence Fishburne has just shown up. This is definitely a Matrix sequel, except it isn’t terrible.
Happy Democracy Day Australia. Enjoy your democracy sausages!
I’m glad there are only two Films in the Matrix franchise - The Matrix (1999) and the Animatrix (2003). I’m glad they didn’t stuff it up by making sequels or some such.
Given how good The Animatrix is, I’m surprised there aren’t more animated collections to other great science fiction films. Imagine an Aniception, or an Ani-Blade Runner, or Anilooper.
Well done Taiwan.
Taiwan parliament becomes first in Asia to legalise same-sex marriage.
I expect the GOT finale to be beyond disappointing. It’s just how big shows end; The Sopranos, Lost, Battlestar Galactica, etc., etc., etc.
When I was very young, Bob Hawk was the PM of Australia and George Bush was president of the USA. I always thought they should have swapped their last names yo be more nation-appropriate.
I follow six websites in my RSS reader (I used to follow dozens in mutiple folders). Now I can follow three of them in micro.blog thanks to this nifty new feature. Now how to keep up with the remaining three without having to dip into my reading app…
“Biodiversity equals stability”
(Also, watch for the cameo of Te Whanganui a Tara).
Cthulhu’s Glittering Backside, it’s been a while.
Rim of the World is classed as a “teen” movie, but it looks brilliant and funny so I’m watching it anyway.
I’m slowly developing a 5th backup pillar. I have 2 cloud backup services (iCloud and Backblaze), and two local backups (SuperDuper and Time Machine). My new planned system will involve Syncthing and a couple of Raspberry Pis with big hard drives attached.
Another gorgeous Wellington morning from @PolhillNZ on Twitter. Love the low sun in the Winter.
Seems… inept.
Workaholics are addicted to workahol.
The Apple TV app, on the Apple TV, in Aotearoa. That’s a surprise to say the least from a point update (tvOS 12.3). It is, of course, useless for anything other than iTunes Movies. Because of course it’s useless. We don’t even get the option to buy or rent TV series here.
Spend a few billion fitting solar and batteries in urban areas. NZ could be very close to 100% renewable, relatively quickly. $2bn would buy over a GW worth of solar panels.
Britain passes one week without coal power for first time since 1882
Penultimate episode of Game of Thrones. I wasn’t bored, but I was disappointed. Glad it’s over next week.
Penultimate episode of Game of Thrones. I’m expecting to be bored and disappointed at the same time.
I really like Raspberry Pis. They’re such capable, tiny little computers. But they need to stop lying about the price. There’s nowhere you can buy the Raspberry Pi Zero for their claimed $5.
Some positive environmental news, for once. Now to get the laws passed and the transition away from plastic completed. As quickly as possible.
Sometimes you plan out doing something, start, overcome a couple of hiccups, and then finish. And it works the way you want it to. I did that this weekend. And most surprisingly, it was all done on Linux.
When did they remove the JJ Abrams Star Trek movies from Netflix?
These mugs are a taonga. If you’re a Kiwi, you know these mugs very, very well. Turns out we’re the only ones.
The people’s cup: How the Arcoroc mug took over New Zealand.
