@davidpierce.xyz I'm so with you on podcast at 1x speed.

I've been a 1.5x listener for a long time, and I thought helped my ADHD.

Recently moved to an iPod to reduce phone screen time, and it only allows for 1x and I've realised I really like it.

I appreciate the quality more now, vs quantity.

@atp.fm Just about to sign up for ATP Membership and I was wondering if there was any way to get a feed of *just* the ATP overtime?

I've obviously listened to the previous episodes, so don't plan to re-listen to the whole thing. Just the overtime would be handy!

ADHD is thinking about all the things you have to do, getting stressed about all the things, worrying about the consequences of not doing the things, but still feeling stuck and unable to do any of the things.

@womensrugbyshow.bsky.social what's your prediction for Aus vs USA?

@myke.social re the iPod that could sync with iTunes.

There's the Mighty which syncs Spotify Playlists for 30 days: bemighty.com

An iPod that did this would be amazing! Sync Apple Music library, and the content just needs to be refreshed or authed to check you still have a subscription.

@myke.social an option for a Whoop alternative is the Amazfit Helio.

Also Polar are scheduled to release something soon (announced by Polar)

@myke.social re Apple Watch with the little one...

I put my watch in swimming mode for a week or so and my daughter got bored when it stopped doing things and forgot about it.

Love the Pod!

RE Max not joining Merc:

Merc have the best(ish) engine now (McLaren), but it doesn't necessarily translate to the fastest car.

Might also be a reason behind why he decided to wait.

Williams or Alpine could be fastest next year?

@vicmsong.bsky.social I’ve not knowingly/intentionally listened to KPop before, but this was a banger!
July 10, 2025 at 9:03 PM
@davidimel.com worth noting...

16e, 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max & Fold

SE, 13 mini, 13, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max

Same number of phones.

TIL that @microsoft.com Excel has a "Show your Pride" option in the settings!

Very cool.

@seanhollister.bsky.social @davidpierce.xyz another (great) handheld gaming related podcast...

... but I'm still none the wiser as to what I should do.

I'm a Mac user (14" M3 Pro MBP) and my current gaming setup is a Switch and an old Intel Mac (16" i7 2019 MBP) with a broken screen... (1/2)

@bookshop-org-uk.bsky.social what DRM format do you use with your ebooks?

So many years of using Laravel... I've been using the `Log` facade and annoyingly having to import it into each class for so long!

I think I've finally remapped my brain to start using the `logger` helper!

It's a little win, but I'll take it!

@welch.bsky.social off the back of the podcast...

We've got 2 Sonos Connect and 2 Sonos/IKEA speakers, and lose at least 1 if not 2 devices a day.

All wired via ethernet.

Can't use Airplay with this setup unfortunately so have to use the app.

@myke.social unsolicited advice from random stranger on the internet...

If you get the chance, cook some batches of meals now that you can freeze.

Best advice I was given, and always pay it forwards.

Some nights there's nothing worse than having to cook a meal from scratch 👍

Wow! I've spent the evening trying to setup my first homeserver. I've watched a lot of videos on YouTube, posted on Reddit and tinkered over the week.

Chat-GPT was ok(ish).

Gemini (paid) was TRULY AWFUL (It kept getting things wrong and going in circles).

Claud has been amazing! Very impressed!

@liss.bsky.social Do you have a trmnl referral code?

Or need to wait until they sponsor ATP first?

@snell.zone no idea how I missed it... but TIL about Vulcan Hello on Upgrade.

Looking forward to a binge of this!

Building this timeline component today made me realise how little I've used absoloute/relative positions CSS!

It took me far longer than it should have done to build.

It's now working though, with the blue bar moving up the bar relative to today's date.
