I’m really curious on what’s this MODE thing the guys at Flickr are brewing. Excited to see some new stuff from them, specially in a time where online photo communities are lacking, and just hope this isn’t a flop.
📺Watching the latest John Oliver’s piece on Twitter doesn’t show anything new tome, but reminds me why social networks definitely show move towards being decentralised, regulated and based on open standards…
…And by the way, I still call it Twitter!
I haven’t noticed for how long, because I don’t use Twitter that often nowadays, but now to reach the chronological timeline you have to click Following and then set the Sort By to Recent. Buried in menus, I’m betting someday they’ll say no one was using it and disable it entirely…
For a long time Obsidian for mobile was fine, but the latest version gives a bit more love to it. New widgets and overall smoother and slicker.
My “favourite” part of the day usually when I keep looking indefinitely to Microsoft Teams logo, waiting for something to happen. Sometimes I even get a “We’re setting things up” message.
I don’t care what Elon says, it always be Twitter. www.cnet.com/news/soci…
Let’s make a resilient and adaptable interconnected network of networks, they said… It will be able to handle nuclear attacks, they said…
How not to love Flickr’s error page?! Has been this one for some time, but it still almost makes me see wanna see it more often!
…Almost.
Yet again the internal memory of the Ricoh GR III saves the day, despite only having it for some weeks. Don’t know why we don’t have this from more manufacturers, doesn’t need to have super capacity, just enough for a few shoots when you forget the SD card.
The fact that I live near the airport, and the distribution centres of all carriers (including good old mail), means that I often receive packages ahead of schedule, which is a good and bad thing…
Every once in a while I stumble upon some kind of rant regarding Adobe subscriptions prices or hidden fees. And the more I see this the more I glad I moved to darktable years ago. Yes, the UI may not be as polished and sometimes might have multiple ways to do same thing (in true open-source fashion), but I’d rather have that than feeling trapped in corporate greed. And it’s free as in free beer, but that’s really secondary.
Another YouTube video from a small creator that used to work in a much larger channel with roughly the same message: things are too big, too corporate, no creativity.
Is YouTube slowly becoming old media?…
Two days of #OutsystemsOne, plus one more of Champions Summit
Plenty of bells and whistles, and that’s part of the fun of events and keynotes. Plenty of AI, expected with all the buzz nowadays, and the public release of Agent Workbench that I’ve been playing around for some weeks. But also a clearer roadmap, with the consolidation of Outsystems 11 and ODC, and that’s the biggest takeaway for me from these days.
…And also plenty of catchup with familiar faces that I haven’t seen in a while!
In every developer conference there’s always someone, sometimes close to the front row, with an open laptop on the lap, probably doing a patch in Production! #OutsystemsOne
My photo site (built on Hugo) was taking a lot to deploy after I added all the older content, as the pipeline was always deploying the entire site. Finally took time to look at it, and only upload the changes. I guess I got a slight improvement.
One thing that annoyed me on Obsidian app for Android, besides the app not being really thought and built for mobile from the start, was the lack of Web Clipper, I find it more useful each day. Until I discovered it installs nicely on Firefox for Android.
I’ve lost track the amount of times I’m going to open the app formerly known as Twitter and end up opening Fujifilm’s app. At least I use Twitter less and less often.
Having a Linux desktop with a Nvidia graphics card means each distribution upgrade can be a bit of gamble…
I was watching a video of new a camera (the new Hassie l, but that’s irrelevant) and mentioned something almost as a complain: these new models bring less and less new features. Well, that’s where we are right now, with the current release cycles, more of these incremental changes.
Sad news, Nova Launcher is no more… I really liked it, was the perfect mix of clean, configurable and smooth, often when trying launchers I’d start feeling it was getting it was getting to much in my way. Nova didn’t do that. I’ll probably go back to the stock launcher.
…and it would be fun to have the open source version of it.
