I’m not sure I want links to open in micro.app. There doesn't seem to be a setting to change that behaviour.

@cn I’m talking about links from other people, in the OS X app.

@jeremycherfas I have @khoi’s Bumpr installed so don’t even think about it…

@cn Cool, and presumably you can set useful defaults.

@jeremycherfas Bumpr is system default browser, it picks up those you have installed; and shows them monochromatically when not running.

@cn On my list to investigate further tomorrow. Thanks.

@jeremycherfas Thanks for the feedback. There's no setting, but we could add one if people would find it useful. Often I like to check out a web page quickly, then tap the Safari icon if I want to keep a tab open.

@jeremycherfas Oh, the Mac app? There's no built-in browser in the app, so all the links should open in Safari or Chrome. You're not seeing that?
, Jan 07 2018 on micro.blog
@manton Definitely in the Mac app, and I have a screenshot to prove it. But my Known install is borked for images, and I’m not seeing how to attach it here, in the Mac app.

@jeremycherfas I don’t know how/if Known handles photo posts as replies / @manton
, Jan 08 2018 on micro.blog
@cn It's worse than that. My Known won't upload a photo from the desktop, although it is perfectly happy with OwnYourGram. May have to go your route and share to Flickr.

@jeremycherfas an Apache configuration issue?
It has been a while since I’ve configured the feathered server…

Screen grab
I've had some odd things happen on micro.blog lately, to whit links opening within the micro.blog app. To confirm I'm not nuts, I grabbed a screenshot, but when I attempted to create a reply at my Known install, Known refuses to upload the image. This is nothing new, but I had forgotten wabout it and it hasn't been enough of a problem to devote any energy to. At least, not so far.
So, this post exists in an attempt to get the screen grab into the conversation at micro.blog.
While I was about it, I also fancied that perhaps my OS X micro app might be out of date, so I checked on that, and got another odd error.
Error message
The thing is, micro.blog is in my Applications folder, so I'm none the wiser. Is Version 1.0b11 (12) up to date?
Geeky
Hey @jack: the link to caption all of my photos at [Why My Photos Remain on My Hard Drive](https://www.baty.net/2017/why-my-photos-remain-on-my-hard-drive/) is broken. Probably because it may be relative. Just chasing up on @bsag's recommendations.

@jeremycherfas Fixed, thanks! Sorry for the bad link.
, Jan 07 2018 on micro.blog
@jack No problem, and easy enough to fix locally. I’m trying hard to develop a new workflow before abandoning the old, and as I have bleated often before, I would really like a return to separate programs for image manipulation and catalogue and metadata

Mozart in the Jungle (Amazon Prime) is really rather fun, based on the one episode we have watched.
In so many respects, marijuana is a mirror of food, as noted at the mothership https://www.jeremycherfas.net/blog/marijuana-goes-mainstream
A late contender for the best thing about #food I have read all year. Michael Lewis's feature Made in the U.S.D.A. goes inside Trump’s cruel campaign against the U.S.D.A.’s scientists https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/11/usda-food-stamps-school-lunch-trump-administration
Patreon is stepping back, and that’s great. But there announcement prompted me to do something about supporting the podcast, and I’m not going to change that.

@jeremycherfas Their, obviously.

Had to abandon the latest Gravy podcast because the levels were so all over the place. Pity; it seemed pretty interesting.
What is @dropbox actually doing when it is "indexing," why does it need to do it so often, and why does it hog my computer while it does it?

Hi there, when it’s Indexing, in short it’s checking what files are currently in the Dropbox folder and preparing them in case syncing is required. This does require processing power to do so, but if you constantly have high CPU usage, check this out URL: dropbox.com/help/desktop-w…

@DropboxSupport I've fixed permissions and checked for symlinks; thanks. The only app accessing often is nvALT. So, we'll see if things improve. I hope so.

Fascinating conversation with Jess Phillips on @tppolitics_ especially the bit at about 29:15 when she said: “We are basically retweeting away our liberty.”
And yes, I am aware of the irony. Which is why I posted this on my own site first
