Raycast Focus is nice until you realize that it doesn’t integrate with macOS Focus modes and can’t start an automation like a shortcut to turn off other things so that we can really be focusing. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Posting photos on Pixelfed from Micro.blog is cool in principle, but in practice, it’s still an unpredictable experience. My photo posted here earlier this morning wasn’t cross-posted to Pixelfed and I don’t know why. It’s a bit frustrating if you ask me. And there is no provided way of retrying a cross-post to Pixelfed, for some reason. @manton as you seem to be focusing on photos for Micro.blog, consider adding / fixing this issue, if this is something under your control, of course.

A famous building in São Paulo, circa December 2022. Taking a photo of someone else’s artwork makes me pause and question my own contribution as a photographer. By adding a specific angle or using a unique perspective, I believe I add a layer of meaning and interpretation to the artwork. This helps me rationalize my internal debate and justify my actions.

I’m at the office today, first time in 2025. I’m one of those who is fortunate enough to work for a company that doesn’t care too much about who’s in and out of the downtown office, they care about the results and how efficient we are to get those. I find it rather sad that the discussions around people returning to the office or not never or seldomly revolve around the idea that working from home might be one of the ways to combat climate change by limiting those in and out and commute time to go to the office. We don’t learn or we’re afraid of accepting that we need to change, for real this time.

Pixelfed finally gets the attention from the public. The release of their mobile app and the general negative sentiment toward Meta’s offerings are two key factors here. I hope they can keep up with the load.
