@manton OK, that makes sense.


@manton Have we gone to 600 characters before being truncated and linked now?


@manton I’d like that even for my own internal links. A lot got borked because of how I migrated to m.b. I add redirects to fix them as I come across them, but a report would be great.


@caseyliss It’s actually pretty good of past-Casey to leave that note, I’d say. Better than not leaving it, anyway.


@manton That makes sense. I’m otherwise always impressed with the search, though. It’s super fast.


@matthewlang What are these filters of which you speak?


@bobwertz Yeah, Into is first, then Across, and there’s going to be Beyond. Unless you mean there’s another one planned after Beyond?


@bobwertz I may have selected the wrong film, then. I thought this was the second of the animated ones, which ends on a cliffhanger.


@JohnPhilpin No unsubscribing for you!


@manton I can’t tell if you’re being ironic there! Never seen a self-driving car over here in the UK.


@caseyliss @jamesthomson Who uses half degrees? A celsius degree difference isn’t that much. 21, 22, still nice. 3, 4, still bloody cold. In fact, outside a physic class, I’ve only ever heard fractional degrees used with Fahrenheit. ‘My temperature is ninety-eight point four,’ Lou Reed sings on ‘Average Guy’, just as an example.

(And my comma/quote placement there is deliberate and correct. 😀)


@manton That’s great, many thanks!


@manton I can’t resize pictures on the iOS M.b app, and I’m sure that used to be possible. Tap on a photo, it goes full-screen. Pinch out to zoom in: nothing happens. I’m on iOS 26.2 and the latest version of the app.


@JohnPhilpin Good point. Distances tend to be greater in N America, of course.

Not familiar with The Vogues (though certainly The Pogues); unless you mean the various editions of the magazine?



@timapple And, digging a little deeper (I’ve never used Go before): go run mb works. I get the prompt to set up my token. So with a little judicious aliasing I should be able to make it work.


@devilgate Strange, though, that everything seemed to work, except installing the actual command.


@timapple Ah, fair enough. Thanks.


@timapple You might want to add to the instructions that you have to install Go before you can run go install! I used brew install go, but I’m on an ancient version of Mac OS, so it built it from source, which took ages. It worked, though.

However, after I ran go install I don’t have the mb command. Not sure what’s gone wrong. There were no error messages.
