I've been thinking about building my first desktop app, and one of the ideas is giving people something to do with all of the various "download your data" options from LinkedIn, Google, your Twitter Archive, etc. I know there's the Twitter Archive 11ty project, but I thought there was an effort several years ago for something like this but I can't think of the name or who was involved - does it ring any bells? I'd love to talk to folks who've tried this before - especially if there are wheels here that don't need reinventing that I haven't found yet.
The idea would be something normies can use that gives them the instructions for how to request their archive and then a place to drag and drop it, a way to sync it for storage they already have, and something to DO with that data (digital memoir, some publishing it somewhere option, etc).

Hey linux friends! I have an older tech-averse friend who's traveling to Europe next month, who has a laptop with a not-great battery. I'm thinking about loaning him one of my "workshop" laptops with a linux distro on it just for checking email, flights, etc.
Update to add: he's a lifelong Mac user, so the more Mac-like it feels, the better!
What's the current best bet for a de-Googled ChromeOS or similar? #linux #lazyweb #computering

#LazyWeb I want a service like JustWatch but for sports with air times for streaming services I subscribe to. Apple Sports keeps telling me about games I can't watch, which is _awesome_ and even the otherwise amazing FotMob can't filter by "things I have access to view w/out 🏴☠️."
(I know this isn't what FotMob does, so it's not a dig, but it literally does everything else football-related, why not this?)

If you were starting a new store on the web to sell the dumbest products imaginable, what would you use for your storefront (that isn't Shopify)? #lazyweb #ecommerce #askthefediverse

Dear #lazyweb, I need a way to manage my mess of Apple Music playlists. I have a horde of folders, playlists, copies of playlists and ghosts of playlists from iTunes and the various streaming streaming services I've used over the years. I just want to be able to delete playlists without having to click three times on each one and move more than one at a time into folders. Heeeeelllllppppppp!
