Thumbs Up & Friends

New issue of Thumbs’ Update is out now on Mirror ✍️

In this issue I’ll be bragging about what I did on vacation, and why some might have called it “piracy.” 🏴‍☠️

I’ll cover some of the history of video game emulation, the recent attack on the Internet Archive, and make the ethical case against copyright (at least in its current form).

Enjoy! 💚

Note: I’ve been having nothing but issues with @paragraph. I’m not sure I’ll continue using it. Later today I’ll see if I can cross post the article, but yeah the UX on Paragraph is just getting further and further away from what I feel is useable so I’m not sure what to do.

I tried to edit the titles of older posts and it wouldn’t load most of them. Then making that subtle tweak created duplicates that went to drafts. Some articles which are live on the website only show up in drafts. The login is inconsistent. It’s harder to find how to get to my blog to check that everything is looking good. 

Really I’ve been saying this since you guys bought Mirror, just clone that UX and add in a few of the missing features. Either that or migrate folks from Paragraph into Mirror.

If the opposite happens though; the abandonment of Mirror without adopting its approach, I’ll probably go to ghost or some other platform personally.

Appreciate the feedback!

We're in the process of redesigning & refactoring a large part of the Paragraph product. There's definitely some bugs and bumps as part of that transition.

Anything in particular we can look into or any specific UX feedback?
