Faraway, So Micro

New on my blog: David Simon on AI

Alright I’m invested. I was ready to tune out hockey after my Jets bowed out in the first round. Now the Oilers better win game 7 after coming back from 3 games to none.

It’s really weird to me that Final Cut Pro for iPad with a new iPad is needed to do multicam with iPhones or iPads, when I’ve got a Mac Studio on my desk that has to be able to keep up as well, wouldn’t it?

Send help. I sat on the deck for breakfast & coffee and now I can’t get up.

Normalize breaking “streaks” that social media apps try to use to keep you coming back to their app. Snapchat, TikTok now, etc. It’s not the same as breaking a reading / exercising / therapy related streak. 😆

My ability to pick the wrong line at Costco Gas remains undefeated.

“Just edit your robots.txt file and AI Startups will respect that.” Turns out, surprising some people who learn nothing from the past, no they won’t.

I just came across ScummVM, an emulator for playing old computer games, and I don’t have time for this distraction right now. 😆

We’ve been watching the new Netflix series Hitler and the Nazis: Evil on Trial and while I’ve known most of the story, it’s still so jarring to realize how relatively easy he came to power.

Apathy abounds and the power hungry will use that to their advantage every time.

The Threads API is available to more developers — here’s hoping Micro.blog gets cross-posting ability sometime soon?

Pretty cool story of Canadian kid NickEh30 working at Fortnite streaming hard enough to get his own skin + emoji in the game.

At some point the WordPress world (and the web in general) is going to have to work through the very real accounts of Matt Mullenweg being a bully on a web that his software runs 40% of.

I’m very excited to aspire to play all the cool looking games announced at this week’s Nintendo Direct but then never feel like I have the time to actually play them and continue collecting random skins in Fortnite.

I have no idea why I have a “cancel my Snapchat subscription” as a reminder. I don’t have a Snapchat subscription. Now I’m playing the “what rhymes with Snapchat?” game to figure out what service I wanted to cancel.

Parenting is wild. It goes from “I’ll never get sleep again. When will the poop diapers stop?!” to suddenly they have their own vehicle and don’t need you to drive them to school anymore. 😢

Blessings to all the parents with children who are into VR games like Gorilla Tag. Never has being active looked and sounded so ridiculous. 😆

Of the two “For You” algorithm bots, the one on Threads shows me more interesting posts than Twitter does. Twitter is mostly rage farming, Threads is interesting tech stuff I haven’t seen with a sprinkling of exvangelical commentary. 🤷‍♂️
