I’ve seen people on tiktok freaking out about this setting for Apple’s Journal app, but very little in the Apple blogs. If someone is in your contacts and you’re nearby, Journal can suggest you to them, or them to you for an entry. Seems like a potential privacy issue?
Snow / driving update in Saskatoon: If you can get out of your driveway, you should be fine in most of the city. Aside from the mountains of snow everywhere, a lot of the roads have been cleared of the worst of the snow piled on them.
Interesting update to Ecamm Live 4.2, including a tie in with Scenery which looks like a Descript transcription / video editing competitor.
Played a bit of Breath of the Wild on my Twitch channel. Not sure how much interest there is in someone trying to finish a 7 year old game. 😆
So tired of shovelling. Thanked the neighbor with the snowblower by giving him a couple 🍻. And the snow is still falling. 😴
Just saw my first snowmobile driving down the middle of the street. Should be a fun day here in Saskatchewan.

Thanks to the impending snowpocalypse this weekend, the hockey tournament has been rescheduled. Dang. Now I have a free weekend. What to do? (Besides shovelling snow.)
My Friday $0.02 inspired by Monday’s ShopTalk Show: Don’t ask for ratings or reviews for your podcast, ask people to link to your podcast from their blog.
Good lord this NextDoor man comparing his grandpa’s stolen tractor to what happened with Residential Schools in Canada to the First Nations people and how everyone needs to get over it. Get me off this ride.
Do you need a video version of your podcast on YouTube or do you just need to submit your podcast via RSS to YouTube so people can subscribe there?
I’ll ditto stamp everything Dave says here about how to get on a podcast and only add: please invest in a good mic so the smart things you have to share can be heard well. 😆
Random brain fart: I wish I could go back and enjoy another weekend LAN part playing Warcraft 3 for the first time with friends.
I really hope the Ghost crew are crafting a “we’ll never sell your stuff to AI” message right now.
It’s oddly comforting how services like Micro.blog just have to keep existing as they are, and the competition will keep imploding around them. Like Matt Mullenweg apparently went on sabbatical and has managed to tank WordPress and Tumblr’s otherwise shiny reputation among web nerds.
Not that I really wondered, but great to see that Micro.blog has no interest in owning or selling user data.
