I Also Just Want my Music
by
Jeff walks us through how it’s $3000 to get some kids music. As he says this is further enshitification of content. Yes I pay for YouTube Premium, and Apple Music, and I buy the movies I want to add to my own library. I continue to think that maybe I need to go back to…
Yes Someone has Written Your Blog Post
by
As my friend Tom writes, someone has written your blog post. But I don’t write because I’m sharing entirely new things, I mostly write and do videos to help cement my knowledge. Much as Tom suggests. Writing for others is important, but it may be just as important if not more important than writing for…
Matt Gemmell an a Second Screen with his iPad
by
Matt writes about using an e-ink screen to scribble on as a secondary screen with his iPadPro as the main device. The main issue he’s trying to solve is wanting to scribble on the iPad while it’s also his main screen for writing. I’ve solved this by having my iPad on a VESA arm on…
Chris Lawley’s 2023 iPad Desk
by
Much like Chris, I’ve been using my iPad more again with the changes in iPadOS 17. My biggest problem was Obsidian being slow for a while, but after some testing Obsidian is no longer slow on my iPad.
Disable Super P in Gnome 45 to Stop Resetting Your Monitors
by
Since I’ve moved my control keys to the home row I’ve had an issue where I hold a key too long and accidentally reset all my monitors. That leaves me with a system that is unusable until I head back to settings and reorganize my screens. After some research today, the keyboard command was Super…
The Only Useful LLM Feature I’ve Seen
by
Casey Newton talked about how Notion Ai (it’s really LLM and calling it Ai feeds into the hype) will look at your data and let you extract content from it. So far this is the only thing in the current LLM/Ai hype-cycle that I’ve found compelling. I’d love to ask some questions about my notes…
With Manifest V3 Coming to Chrome I’m Going Full Firefox
by
Manifest V3 is coming to Chrome which means that ad blockers like UBlock Origin and Privacy Badger will stop working or be greatly reduced in functionality. This is good for Google as it continues to try and race blocking technologies with it’s tracker technologies, with V3 it loaded the deck so that it’s no longer…
Don’t Write in Books
by
From Richard: Some people claim seeing your old notes and annotations when you return to a favourite book enhances the experience. I beg to differ. Whenever I re-read a book on my Kindle, I find myself constantly distracted by my previous highlights. Lovely chap though he undoubtedly was, I don’t want Former Me telling me…
A Lot of People have Benefitted from Associating Luddism with Techphobia
by
From A Working Library: A lot of people have benefited from the association of Luddism with irrational technophobia. But maybe instead of avoiding the specter of Luddism we should reclaim it. Asking good questions about how a technology will impact people isn’t unreasonable and it isn’t irrational; it’s right and appropriate and necessary. Blood in…
Matt Gemmell on Home Row Mods
by
Matt talked about his modifications, which add your control keys to the home row of your keyboard. I’ve been testing this idea out since just before he wrote the post and I do like it, but there is a downside. The big downside is that when I grab my laptop to go work somewhere else…
