For some reason people are confusing me writing a blog post last year about The Necessary Conversation Podcast with me being the one who does the podcast. They’re sending me suggestions for how to convince “my parents” about how evil Trump is. 😆

Watching the big game. (We won. He got a goal and assist.)

I’m hearing that TikTok might have finally released a macOS version of their LIVE Studio app, just not available in Canada yet. Do you see a macOS option when you go to their download site?

Download for Windows - only supports 64-bit Windows 10 and newer.

Do we have any idea what apps like Riverside / Descript / etc. used for their training data for AI? All the #podcast episodes podcasters put out into the world for people to listen to now getting slurped up for them to charge us $50/month to use as a reference point? (I don’t know the answer.)
