I don’t want to link my WhatsApp account with my Facebook account. I don’t use Facebook. Inuse WhatsApp mostly while abroad during vacation. I know I would make a favour to Meta if I did link both in the name of convenience. I’m probably being naive here, though. Postponed indefinitely.
Always liked working outside on my terrasse during summer. Such a nice and comfortable temperature.
I’ll keep Om Malik’s RSS feed in my Inoreader account forever because I think it perfectly reflects his personality and contribution to this world.
Perhaps Meta Should Not Have Spent Decades Being Creepy — Pixel Envy
Meta is in the business of asking for forgiveness instead of seeking permission. It will release these regardless of public approval, and with the belief it can control how that continuous recording is used.
How much of this corporate behaviour would change if Meta had a different CEO instead of this creepy one?
I often revisit MacSurfer’s Headlines website because I’ve been a fan since it launched. Here are some thoughts from my latest visit: the wave logo has been revamped, and I like it — it looks glossy and modern. Now, readers can hide articles behind a paywall, a feature I don’t recall seeing on similar sites. In this screenshot, 19 out of 40 articles are paywalled, which is very useful. Also, readers can subscribe to a newsletter; I’m not sure if this was always available. Lastly, Amazon ads appear on the left sidebar and inline, which has always been part of MacSurfer and has returned after the recent site reboot. Unfortunately, that’s a bit disappointing. I hope MacSurfer continues to thrive by relying solely on human curation. Do we need another OpenAI Pulse or Kagi News, both of which are AI-based?
Dear Americans, good luck with the next 250 years. You’ll need all you can get.
I use Inkwell quite often and I like it. While on vacation, I tend to spend less time reading my RSS feeds so my unread count goes up quite a bit. How do I catch up efficiently? I stop for a small reading session, I switch to Inkwell and use the Today tab but also the Recent tab which is super useful to see what I have missed. In extreme case of disconnection, the Fading tab comes to the rescue. If you’re an RSS feeds junkie, you should consider trying Inkwell.
I feel like I’ve reached a stage where I’ve completed all the projects aimed at improving my digital ecosystem. The native apps I wanted to replace have been replaced, and the new apps perfectly suited to my wishes are now a reality. I’m entering a stage of sporadic fine-tuning. It’s sometimes satisfying not to always have to work on the toolbox and instead simply be in a mode of using these tools.
While moving my tasks out of Things 3, I noticed that many possible projects or tasks were really just daydreams. Migration is an ideal opportunity to reevaluate everything with a fresh perspective. Then, the new digital home will host a new set of daydreaming projects and tasks that I’ll revisit with a smile and kill right off the bat.
Another morning spent digging into RODEcaster Video S setup and configuration. I’m starting to get a better picture of what this device will help me improve, but also what I’m leaving behind if I drop Mac-only video production. One example is the lack of flexibility in dynamically framing the Mac desktop to hide or show the Mac menu bar. High-resolution video recording (4K @ 60 FPS) is also something I must leave behind when using the RODECaster Video; it’s not a surprise, but a reality check.
