Apple and Patreon – Apple is Disgusting
by
I just finished listening to ATP discuss the Apple and Patreon issue and I’m more and more annoyed at Apple. As the panellists agreed, I can’t wait for Apple to face more regulatory and legal pressure so they stop trying to steal money from other businesses. I’ve been an Apple fan for about a decade,…
Improved my TMUX & NeoVim workflow
by
The excellent and concise video above helped me improve my NeoVim and Tmux workflow today. Navigating between panes is much easier now.
Lou – Blogging brings joy
by
Lou wrote about blogging bringing him joy. I’ve been a bit less consistent lately, but that in itself is consistent. I generally go on a big push writing lots for a year or so, then taper off for a bit till the big urge strikes again. Since around 2008 that has left me just over…
Friend AI 1.8 million for a domain
by
Yesterday I wrote about the Friend AI pendant and how far people will go to not interact with people. Then 404 Media reported that the company spent $1.8 million out of it’s $2.5 million raised on the domain name friend.com. That seems absurd, though evidently the founder feels that a good domain is “worth it”.…
Friend AI – So you don’t have to interact with people
by
When I watched this today all I can think about is how far people will go to not interact with other people or how hard they’ll work to not go see a therapist. I’m watching Big Bang Theory right now and this is exactly what I could see Sheldon loving, no human emotions to worry…
Fedora 40 on Framework 13″ Laptop
by
I’m usually quite a bit behind on updating to the latest operating system because most of the bugs get worked out if I wait a few months. Thus I’m happy to say that I upgraded to Fedora 40 this week on my Framework laptop and have had no real issues. The only thing that was…
I Just Blocked AI
by
I’ve been meaning to get around to this for a while but based on Robb Knight’s many blog posts on how bad AI companies are treating the web I finally added a block to all AI bots to my site at the server level. What galls me most about this is that AI companies keep…
Duped by Google 2FA
by
If you’ve got a Google account you’ll be familiar with their custom 2 factor security model. When you sign into your device you are asked to verify the sign in on another device. Yes the support rolling code 2FA as well, but they make it hard to get to behind a few other clicks which…
Matt has the right gif for my thoughts on iPadOS
by
Entirely stealing from Matt Birchler. I love my iPad but I feel like Charlie Brown and Apple is Lucy. I trust she won’t pull the football away again like she always does, but she’s going to. I always hope Apple will push my favourite form factor device just a bit more so I can use…
The Rabbit R1 is Hiding More than you Thought
by
Yes tech reviewers widely panned the Rabbit R1 as not useful at all. But the scams from the company go even further with it originally being an NFT/Crypto/Clean Energy company that raised money and didn’t deliver. So the same Crypto scammers are getting in on AI scams now.
