In my last two YouTube videos, I decided to stop using cross-fade between segments. It’s a bit visually harsh (I’m not getting used to that), but it seems like the general trend among YouTubers these days. Plus, when using bookmarks, thumbnails get a better preview.

I’m wondering how good MacWhisper will be at decoding my English with my accent. Will try for my next YouTube video ad I always wanted to add video captions.

Fun and interesting fact: I have four times more followers on Bluesky than on Mastodon, even though the latter has much more users like in the millions instead of in the thousands for the former. 🤔

In case you didn’t know: there is a small group of Microbloggers on the messaging app Wavelength. You can get on board and join the other 38 other members. Here is the invite link. The idea behind this group is not to replace Micro.blog, far from it, but to add a complementary option for discussing any subjects that you might find interesting in near real-time.

I’m a big fan of Raycast, and I cannot wait to get my hands on Raycast AI, but there is one thing that I cannot stand about it: the app icon. 🤢 I’m wondering if @mattbirchler has the same opinion here.

For each video about Micro.blog that I make and share, I lose subscribers.😔 People don’t like the mixing of videos about two different things I guess: Craft & Micro.blog. 🤷♂️

This blog post was created, edited and posted using the venerable and excellent MarsEdit text editor. Before switching to Ulysses, MarsEdit was my go-to choice for writing posts of a certain length and complexity because of its simplicity and for supporting posting to Micro.blog.
This blog post was used for recording an upcoming video about apps that I use for posting content on Micro.blog. The video will be published soon on my YouTube channel.

Something that bugs me with Micro.blog. Nothing serious, but still. The questionable sidebar arrangement. Why is Replies at the near bottom? Why not have a “Website” category with Plug-ins + Design inside of it? Why plans not into Account? Why “Feeds” sits inside Accounts? Why not rename “Feeds” to “Digital hub”? I’m just wondering out loud, @manton!

Apple Entering the Journal App Landscape Soon? Hell Yeah, Count Me In!
As reported by the Wall Street Journal (since it’s paywalled, look at MacRumors report instead), Apple is supposedly working on its own journaling application. Code named « Jurassic », many interesting details are emerging from this report.
As an avid user of Dayone (read « Documenting My Numeric Life With Dayone »). , I find the prospect of having Apple entering the journaling apps landscape quite exciting. The idea of using journaling to help users with mental health issues is pretty clever. There is so much information available on our devices from which, I guess, we can infer some mental states. I’m guessing machine learning can be of some tremendous help here. Coupled with Apple’s stance on privacy, this provides a potentially very compelling story for a lot of people. Me included. Yet, some people could find this move to be crossing a line that is not acceptable for them. We will see.

RIP Twitter 2007-2022 is now live (well, mostly live as tweets are still being processed and imported). Thanks for this @manton!

My wife recently told me how she was looking and considering tools like ChatGPT in her work. She considers ChatGPT like having an intern working with her. The intern will do the work she asks, but she knows she will have to give it a critical eye on the results just in case any errors creep in. If using interns in companies, why is ChatGPT not considered at the same level? Open for debate.
I like this intern analogy.

Finding software bugs at the least expected place and time while recording long YouTube videos, it’s always fun! #not #craftisbuggy

Earlier in March, Alisabeth Hayden, from Washington state in the US, was separated from her AirPods – Apple’s pricey micro headphones – while disembarking from a plane in San Francisco. She swiftly realized that they appeared to have been stolen. Source: This woman left her AirPods on a plane. She tracked them to an airport worker’s home | CNN
Sad story for sure. I remember my wife forgetting her iPad in the pouch in front of her seat after leaving the place many years ago. She never got it back after contacting the airliner personnel. It was before “Find my friends”. Who knows what happened to this iPad, but this story tells me that it probably ended up in someone else hands.
