A lot, most animated gifs are annoying, and some of us curse the day that was invented. But I just found a NEAT example of how it can be used nicely.

Telegram just released a new version, and it has the new feature of preparing a message but not sending immediately -- but setting a later time for it to go.

Well done, Telegram. I have used it briefly and was quite impressed with the fluidity of the app, the UI design, how well it performed.

If you have contacts already using it, or willing to switch -- a much better instant messenger than WhatsApp, or God forbid, the ghastly FB Messenger junk. (that I absolutely REFUSE to even consider).

January 2nd is World Introvert Day.

* The Fediverse reminds me so much of FidoNet *

New Year's day, and all is quiet in the land. :-)

Remembered a blog idea; a few days ago, we were chatting in the network. About a situation that reminded me a lot of the BBS world; where I started in computers, dial-up modems, and the network called FidoNet...

Sucks. WhatsApp suport for Windows Phone devices dropped.

Spanish speakers talk much faster than English speakers. Yet, they communicate information at roughly the same rate. Why? Our article from September explains https://econ.st/2PJewNS

Unknown to me until now, an important moment in History. Surprising, since the Roman rulers pioneered the Panem et Circensis model -- keep populace distracted and RULE unopposed. Widely in use today still. #history #xp

On this first day of the new year I am very careful to be clean and well groomed. Special attention is given to the space between my toes.🐾 #CatsOfTwitter #whiskerswednesday
