A few quick notes on my “start from a blank page and contribute the first 30 percent” theory of ideating with AI. I don’t do the LinkedIn discourse much, and definitely not on LinkedIn, but I’m sorta fighting a two-front war of subposting someone and also trying to be the change I want to see.

Well, the weather will keep it indoors for a bit but I’ve fully kitted up the X half: Soft shutter button, new Peak Design rope leash, metal lens hood, and grip. It has been a nice palate cleanser: Well, this is what I captured, so I guess that’s the picture I’ve got. Still haven’t tried film mode.

The “Apple locked my account over a sus gift card” guy was made whole, so that’s good.
Also, some guy from Singapore who helped him said, “only buy gift cards from Apple,” which registers with me as “just don’t buy Apple gift cards.”

Love Nuphy. I ordered an Air75v3 as soon as I knew they existed, and broke with tradition by going with the super quiet Blush switches instead of my usual Browns. I think the mechanical keeb people in a past Slack would probably turn their noses up, but this is a nicely built piece of normie kit.

I just read there’ll be a Pluribus season two and I feel uneasy. And my god, people, saying Carol isn’t curious isn’t a comment on, like, her sleuthing for a cure or whatever. Yes, she’s “curious” in that sense. No, she is not at all curious in another.

I’m going to experiment with VoiceNotes for a month. I wanted to see if I could cobble something similar together with Apple Voice Memos, Notes, and Apple Intelligence, but it doesn’t look like it’s there yet. I hooked it up to my action button today.

I was 8 & we were driving from Chicago to the Twin Cities when the Volvo’s pump blew. We got to an overpass oasis then a blizzard rolled in. We got into the presents & played Mastermind for hours.

Say what you will about Bluesky, they’re very proactive about swatting down thirst-trap accounts.
Twitter: Moderation? lol
Mastodon: Really who is to judge? Thirsty people need followers, too.
pixelfed: It’s monochrome. I’ll allow it.
Threads: Whatever. It’s a DAU.
