@miaq I noticed in your “2% Braver” post that the link to Nieves Gonnzalez' IG is broken because it contains an @. :) Thought I'd let you know! (Thanks for sharing it!!)

@caseyliss in your defense, I’ve had my new iPhone for just a few hours and have already dropped it twice. I think they come with a special slippery coating right from the factory. 🤝

Went from an iPhone 12 Pro Max (take that @nazhamid!) to an iPhone 17 Pro Max. The update feels meaningful. Two new buttons! Now, to plan an outing to put these new camera sensors to the test.

Tonight I watched an interview with Bryan Adams from 9 years ago where he said he switched to digital and I must admit I’m a little shook. I thought for sure he was still primarily working with film even today.

@dilmandila yup!

@dilmandila I write a free plugin called Hubbub Lite. It can handle that. 😊

@ramsey Many chef’s give away their recipes as open source with no license.

Recently I’ve taken to finding every waterfall in an area I travel to. Most of the time the people that live in the nearby area don’t even go to them. Highly recommend.

Bring back forums for public communities! Discord or Slack keep knowledge holed up within them. Forums can live on forever.

Does anyone run Windows 10 in a VM on M4 Pro? What is the latest way people are doing this? Virtual Box? Dual boot?

@cabel curious... In Transmit, if I’m uploading say, 45,000 HTML files... and I hit "stop”... why does Transmit not just stop?

@gosha fun! thanks for sharing.

Purchased Rotundo from @simplebits for an upcoming project. (I modified the G slightly, but he won't mind) Beautiful font work as always from Dan.

Good buddy Frank Chimero gave a great talk at last week’s Kinference conference in Brooklyn and now it’s online as an essay!

Beyond the Machine is one of the most clear-eyed takes on creative existence, coexistence, and resistance in a world with AI. I love the framing of over/beside/under when […]

@splorp this is the way

@mathowie I had one once. Loved it.

@krinkle you may have accidentally linked to an item on your watch history (so the link doesn't work for the rest of us) Is this it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=schVpZb_4Jc

@Gargron 👍 ty!

Have you started making your own darkroom prints yet? I’m looking forward to when you do!

@Gargron I wish it were easier to search for Mastodon accounts that are from my area. Am I missing a search operator or anything that may help? (assuming the account makes this information public in some way)

I remember these days of Mastodon. They were fun times. So many accounts have been created and abandoned though — with those people opting to be on platforms where people complain and spew hate. Bring them back here to share knowledge and art and fun projects! […]

Software development is impossible to keep up with. Everything changes every single day. Our to-do list is always longer at the end of the day than it was at the beginning.

And that is totally fine. I recommend being totally OK with never being done, constant change, and impossible tasks.

@jon would you ever consider shipping a version of Vivaldi that was just a web browser?

I walked into a small town music store today. I’m not a musician, but I could tell by the look of the place I should go in. Spoke to the owner. Told him I shot on film and asked him if I could make his portrait.

We had a nice conversation. He’s been in this location 3 years, it used to be a […]

Can we please move past the “everyone hates everyone else online” phase of the social web? It is so exhausting. Have coffee together. Jump on a video chat. Shake hands. But please stop quote tooting one another and arguing.

This week we released two important updates that set us up for a lot of future things for Hubbub -- our #WordPress plugin that adds sharing and follow buttons and mailing list growth tools.

If you've never checked it out, now would be a good time. Expect fast paced updates.

🚀 Signboard 0.4.0 adds due dates to cards. It also lays the foundation for just about any card metadata (such as labels).

@gosha Like sliced cheese from a deli, we could add _more_ sheets in between the wipes.

If Mastodon adds Starter Packs I sure as a wet willy better be on someone’s “Useless Tooters” pack.
