I sometimes think of switching away from 1Password to Apple’s built-in password management but am I the only nerd who keeps things other than passwords in 1Password? Do people have a place they keep passport information, bank account details and so on?
Oh, cool. Wavelength looks interest—… oh, it requires a phone number to sign up.
I understand that soundtracks aren’t what Apple Music Classical is designed for, but why have them show up there? I’m looking at some of the albums I’ve listened to lately that it (Apple!) is choosing to display and it’s farcical.
Dan Olson has a new video essay about the metaverse that’s almost two hours long? Excuse me while I kiss the sky.
Time to spend an inordinate amount of money on Continuing Legal Education courses for the year so I can discharge my study obligations by the March deadline.
At @martinfeld’s suggestion, I installed Glass to see how it compares to Hipstamatic. It’s nice but I wish it wasn’t so… pure?
I’m trying out the new Hipstamatic app. I like it but wish: (1) there were an option to preserve photos for paid members; (2) the app name wasn’t ‘Hipstamatic X’; and (3) the ‘stack’ of photos didn’t have the camera on ‘top’.
Free idea to the Artifact people: GPT-generated summaries of articles should be to Artifact what filters were to Instagram. I share the link to the summary with my friends because I want them to know something and I suspect most won’t actually click through.
I’m not a bird guy but I very much liked the Xavi Bou’s series ‘Ornithographies’ that @kimonostereo linked to a week or so ago. Cool stuff.
Disappointed to see that Netflix doesn’t have a better way to listen to the director’s commentary for Glass Onion than to start the podcast and the movie at the same time.
Kids these days. A cursory search of YouTube suggests not one law revue has written a song ‘GDPR’ that parodies Flo Rida’s ‘GDFR’.
I’m seriously reconsidering my subscription to the Financial Times. Their morning newsletter redesign is worse in all ways from what it was previously.
I’m finally on a podcast! @martinfeld very kindly interviewed me for his series, Really Specific Stories. We talk about podcasts and my perspective as a consumer of web technologies like RSS. As someone who loves talking, it was a lot of fun :)
Obviously this isn’t going to change anything but I’m compelled to say publicly that Apple’s App Review process is awful and needs a radical overhaul. Pagi is only the latest example.
Why can’t I reassign Cmd-Shift-N to be the shortcut to open a private browsing window in Firefox on macOS?
