According to Tim Cook, the old Steve Jobs office at One Infinite Loop is still intact and reserved for Tim Cook so he can enter it and “connect with him”? I would die myself to have a chance to see this place.

I declare my year-long goal of resisting to join Threads to be accomplished.

Updating plugins on Micro.blog is as satisfying as updating apps on the Mac. I wish there were more updates.

It’s easier for me to discover (and like) a new photographer than discovering a new writer. Information absorption is faster in photography.

I’m reading good comments about the new subscription from The Verge. I’m not a fan of their website design, but I do read their articles from time to time. I’m tempted to give it a try. Yet, “serving better ads” to subscribers is not exactly a turn on. 🤷🏻♂️

I’ve seen a drastic increase in new followers on my Bluesky account (+50%) in the last 3 weeks while no new followers on Mastodon in the last six months. 🧐🤨
I’m 90% of the time posting on both (from Micro.blog), like this post.

Today, I submitted my resume for a new job out of curiosity. The submission form included a section for adding websites, but I didn’t include any of my many sites. I often feel shy about sharing them in my professional life. I may be missing an opportunity to show some of my abilities, who knows.

Up until now, I was able to keep Micro.blog at the center of my blogging activities and my social networks presence but with Bluesky taking off, I can’t keep up with new follows… I follow people on Bluesky from Bluesky, not always from Micro.blog. Low friction probably explains this behaviour.

Selling to the Devil?
So I put my M1 Mac mini for sale this weekend on Facebook Marketplace. 🤢 Got an offer for 50% of my asking price. I said, no, nice try . Got a second offer from someone else with a slightly reduced priced. I said ok. I went poking his Facebook profile page just to see if I’m being scammed👀🤨🧐. From the buyer’s profile and posts I can infer the following: he believes in conspiracies, he is an anti-vaccine, he is a proud pro-Trump, and the icing on the cake: he is pro-Russian. 🤮
I came close to cancel the deal… but I didn’t. Just give the money and GTFO.

Even idle (10%-15% CPU usage), the new M4 Mac mini (with M4 Pro chip) runs much hotter than the old M1. I don’t hear the fan but according to iStats Menu, the temp inside is 56F.

Migrating From M1 Mac mini to M4 Mac mini - A Flawless Migration
Got my M4 Mac mini yesterday and completed the migration off the old M1 Mac mini. The process took me about 2.5 hours, where about 1.25 hours for data migration only using the Apple Migration Assistant1. Upon first login, I got only a handful of security-related popups, much less than I was expecting. Many apps like Microsoft OneDrive, Synology Drive client, worked perfectly with minimum reconfiguration, which was a pleasant surprise. A few app licenses to reconfigure and hop I’m ready to go!
This is the first time that I’m using a two-monitor setup at home (Apple Studio Display + LG UltraFine 4K). It’s quite a setup upgrade. Today will be my first full work day with this setup, I’ll report back later for more impressions.

I used a Thunderbolt 4 cable between the two machines. Actually transfer speed were between 100 MB/s & 600 MB/S, while being rated at more than 900 MB/s. ↩︎

If only Bluesky had an iPad version of their mobile app. Is this in the works? (Posted from Micro.blog but asking the Bluesky community).

How does an app get updated on a weekly basis without any new features or apparent bug fixes? Exhibit A: Medium. Is someone trying to game the App Store?
