Hello and welcome to Dailyish
for Monday, October 12th, 2026.
00:00:09.568 --> 00:00:12.632
I'm recording an episode every day
for this, my 50th year on the planet.
00:00:13.032 --> 00:00:14.879
Yes, I missed yesterday's recording.
00:00:14.910 --> 00:00:18.452
Sorry to those who are hoping for
100% accuracy, which actually I've
00:00:18.453 --> 00:00:20.690
already missed a couple episodes, but
maybe you weren't subscribed then.
00:00:21.090 --> 00:00:25.878
Uh, Sunday was, uh, turkey day with
my side of the family, so I guess too
00:00:25.878 --> 00:00:29.721
busy with family, laying in a turkey
coma, didn't get around to recording.
00:00:29.725 --> 00:00:35.470
I thought about it at 12:30 at night
after midnight and realized probably It
00:00:35.470 --> 00:00:39.503
doesn't, um, make sense to get up and go
record an episode at that time of night.
00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:42.414
I wouldn't have very much
helpful things to say.
00:00:42.614 --> 00:00:43.320
It is Monday.
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:46.038
It's a holiday Monday here in Canada
with Thanksgiving this weekend.
00:00:46.038 --> 00:00:49.229
Canada's Thanksgiving is earlier
than American Thanksgiving for
00:00:49.229 --> 00:00:50.741
anybody who's not familiar.
00:00:50.819 --> 00:00:55.785
And, uh, so I thought I'd just quickly
run through some mailbag responses,
00:00:55.787 --> 00:00:57.880
commu- comments and from listeners.
00:00:57.911 --> 00:01:00.953
Uh, Aubrey replied over on Mastodon
to the, in regards to the Twitter
00:01:00.954 --> 00:01:04.538
episode where I talked about, uh,
Twitter being sort of more energetic
00:01:04.538 --> 00:01:07.744
it felt like versus Mastodon being
more of a straight timeline and not
00:01:07.887 --> 00:01:09.772
so much randomness that might happen.
00:01:10.172 --> 00:01:13.050
Uh, she said, "I f- I'm fascinated by
how you think the Fediverse is boring
00:01:13.050 --> 00:01:15.790
compared to Twitter because I feel
like I've found a fantastic community.
00:01:16.170 --> 00:01:18.758
It might be that I immensely
dislike sh- uh, shitposting and
00:01:18.759 --> 00:01:19.872
have never followed celebrities.
00:01:19.872 --> 00:01:22.081
I use social media to find
earnest and authentic connections.
00:01:22.481 --> 00:01:24.912
I deleted my Twitter a couple
years ago, but even then it felt
00:01:24.912 --> 00:01:27.580
like a cesspool filled with men
with edgy humor, and it was gross.
00:01:27.604 --> 00:01:28.447
I don't miss it at all."
00:01:28.847 --> 00:01:29.479
Yeah, and I'll justâ¦
00:01:29.737 --> 00:01:33.228
I, I can't remember exactly what I said,
but I think I was sort of commenting more
00:01:33.230 --> 00:01:38.186
in general as a vibe that it felt like,
especially way back in the day on Twitter.
00:01:38.500 --> 00:01:41.902
But anytime I've even tried logging in,
I kept my account active there 'cause I
00:01:41.902 --> 00:01:46.190
just thought, at the time anyways, I felt
like, well, Musk is gonna run it into
00:01:46.191 --> 00:01:49.772
the ground and maybe someone will buy
it, and I didn't want some loser taking
00:01:49.772 --> 00:01:53.784
over my namespace on there and since
I'd had it since the beginning almost of
00:01:53.785 --> 00:01:57.775
Twitter, and so I just locked my account
and haven't really looked at it since.
00:01:57.781 --> 00:02:01.113
But it definitely doesn't feel
like a space that, uh, I'd want
00:02:01.114 --> 00:02:03.549
to invest any serious time with.
00:02:03.633 --> 00:02:07.236
But there is the, like, dopamine
hit that people get, I know, from a
00:02:07.236 --> 00:02:10.614
bigger following maybe they had there
or legitimate business needs for
00:02:10.629 --> 00:02:12.231
needing to reach audience, I guess.
00:02:12.595 --> 00:02:13.572
Um, I don't know.
00:02:13.837 --> 00:02:14.336
Not for me.
00:02:14.736 --> 00:02:17.695
Harold also replied to that one saying,
"And dro- he dropped off Twitter long
00:02:17.695 --> 00:02:19.957
enough ago that his has healed up.
00:02:19.958 --> 00:02:21.624
His Twitter shaped hole
was the episode name.
00:02:22.024 --> 00:02:24.520
Turns out Facebook was more effective
at capturing my attention than I
00:02:24.532 --> 00:02:26.971
thought, and I still go there every
now and then," which is why he's
00:02:26.978 --> 00:02:28.552
been on Mastodon more recently.
00:02:28.952 --> 00:02:32.467
Yeah, if you're not familiar, Mastodon and
Blue Sky both operate, by default anyways,
00:02:32.469 --> 00:02:36.862
in a way that there is no algorithm
feeding you, uh, posts from random spots.

posts from other people about Widow's
Bay is what Threads and Twitter does.
00:02:43.097 --> 00:02:46.746
Uh, but whereas Mastodon, uh, and,
uh, Blue Sky, you can definitely
00:02:46.747 --> 00:02:49.717
search for topics and find them, but
it's not gonna dump that into your
00:02:49.718 --> 00:02:51.355
main timeline automatically for you.
00:02:51.755 --> 00:02:56.364
Uh, Jay replied to the using AI for
menial, menial not meaningful, uh, episode
00:02:56.365 --> 00:02:59.451
with the best explanation he's heard
about how people approach these tools,
00:02:59.484 --> 00:03:02.960
AI tooling, is that they want to skip
the work and just get a result-shaped
00:03:02.990 --> 00:03:04.497
output regardless of quality.
00:03:04.862 --> 00:03:08.564
C-suite types love this, especially
when the work requires expertise and
00:03:08.566 --> 00:03:11.577
thinking because that's something they
normally have to pay someone else to do.
00:03:11.977 --> 00:03:14.122
And I would just, yeah,
upvote that in a big way.
00:03:14.522 --> 00:03:16.834
Boyd and Cozy on the
homeownership episode where I was
00:03:16.835 --> 00:03:17.995
complaining about all the work.
00:03:18.052 --> 00:03:20.569
Um, "I think it would be cool if
you had a T-shirt and coffee mug
00:03:20.569 --> 00:03:23.935
with your lemon logo and under it
the saying, 'Home repairs have me

00:03:29.201 --> 00:03:29.370
Yeah.
00:03:29.770 --> 00:03:32.264
Probably a little early for,
uh, merch thoughts here,
00:03:32.288 --> 00:03:34.517
but, uh, I do like that idea.
00:03:34.905 --> 00:03:37.856
I'll have to save that in the,
uh, someday maybe T-shirt pile.
00:03:38.256 --> 00:03:40.379
He'd also asked about the T-shirt
I was wearing in, uh, some of the
00:03:40.380 --> 00:03:42.703
episodes, which is the transistor.fm
00:03:42.732 --> 00:03:46.036
podcast hosting shirt, sort of
a skull, crossbones, skeleton

dude listening to a podcast.
00:03:47.690 --> 00:03:50.053
So Justin, if you're out there
listening, the people wanna buy that
00:03:50.053 --> 00:03:51.937
shirt, so get it out there somehow.
00:03:52.337 --> 00:03:54.344
