@ridwan I‘ll sell the rm2 as soon as I have the Paper Pro. They still go for a good price. Mine is almost 4 years old by now…
Solid new album of blink-182 today: ONE MORE TIME… PART-2 🎶🎸
Still no reMarkable shipment… I‘m biting my nails here 🫨
This is amazing! Linkin Park Unveil Emily Armstrong as New Vocalist, 2024 World Tour
They also did a live show streamed on YouTube 🎸🤘🎶
Looks like ordering the Type Folio bundled with the Paper Pro makes me wait a lot longer than people who didn’t order the keyboard. Bummer…
Sitting on our balcony under the roof… listening to one of the last summer rains after a surprisingly hot and humid day. Feels great, sounds great. Setting the mood to contemplate my last couple of days before going back to work. I’m not ready yet.
@joshuapsteele never tried a Supernote, but recently people started mentioning it more and more and seem to be happy with it. The reMarkable felt a little aged over the last couple of years with much more competition coming out every couple of months now. Not sure how it will compare to the Paper Pro announced today, but I think the Supernote is also expected to get an update soon. Might be a matter of taste again then. Exciting times for e-ink devices ☺️
I said it time and again over the last couple of years, and it’s still true: the reMarkable is the most important gadget in my daily life. I have no doubts that the new Paper Pro will be the same. Everything I’ve seen of it today excites me. Really looking forward to it 🤩✍️📓
remarkable Special Event announced for tomorrow. I‘m way more excited about this than the Apple iPhone event. The really need an upgrade!
Three weeks of vacation ahead. Nothing planned so far this time. I feel like I‘d like to take some time and explore what freedom means to me. Being free is becoming more and more a core desire of myself lately. Should be easy to find, but somehow it’s the hardest thing in life.
I love the area we live in.
The “Make copy of” menu item has been renamed to “Duplicate” on macOS to match OS conventions.
This change in Obsidian will save me a lot of searching in the menu every other day 🙃
Plan: go to bed early. Reality: decided to read up on some work related stuff, got drawn in. Checks clock: damn, tomorrow will be rough again. 🥸
A whale peeking at the surfing semifinals at the Olympics in Teahupo’o. This competition was great advertisement for a great sport. I really enjoyed watching all these heats 🏄♀️🥇
Avoiding all news about last night’s olympic surfing competition. I want to enjoy the last heats of the event at that beautiful location and feel the excitement. I didn’t expect to become such a fan of this sport 🥇🏄
Afternoon trip to Grabkapelle auf dem Württemberg in Stuttgart yesterday.
Tempo app just told me that I ran a little over 100km this year. On one hand: how depressing… it should be at least 4-5 times more if I could stick to my plans. On the other hand: wow, 100km! A few years ago I wouldn’t even have thought I would run that much in 10 years 👌🏃
Happy Music Friday! Surprise release from The Smashing Pumpkins! Probably not my album of the year, but I listened to it twice from start to finish today. That didn’t happen in a long time. Very Rock, less Weird 👍 Also: new single from Marilyn Manson. no album announced though. 🎶🎸
Oh noes 😱 No Surfing at the Olympics today! What should I do all evening!? It’s the first time I really saw a surfing competition and I‘m mesmerized! Such an incredible sport. That ocean in Tahiti, that wave, the surfers… everything! 🏄♀️🥇
@matthewlang those were the only four that were ready 😉 The others will also need a few more days or weeks
First tomatoes this year 🍅
I went into the opening show of the Olympics in Paris, thinking I‘d just watch a few countries walk in and wait for who‘s lighting the fire. I spent all 4 hours in front of the TV, fascinated. That show was incredible! They destroyed this ceremony for all future cities to come. Just… wow 🥇🗼🇫🇷
@ner3y hatten lange Pause, fast zerbrochen… vor zwei Jahren dann neues Album und seit dem auf Tour, inklusive ihrer Greatest Hits. Lohnt sich 👌
Sportfreunde Stiller, live at Freilichtbühne Killesberg, Stuttgart
I love it when you can feel that the band has as much fun playing their music, like everyone else has listening and singing with them. Great atmosphere, great concert, lots of my favorite songs and a good friend. Great evening 👌🎸🎶
Good friends are the ones you see again after 2.5 years and it still feels like yesterday, you talk for hours on end and it’s always too short. Lovely day 🍀
You’d think they’re at least trying to be kind of serious… maybe being aware that the whole world is watching… and then Hulk Hogan shows up. That’s everything one needs to know.
A country that’s short of completely failing and is not only loosing their war on misinformation and tinfoil hats, really needs more unregulated possibilities to spread more misinformation and conspiracy theories, based on services that screw over every single person and business on earth, with the sole purpose of becoming even richer…
Yeah… I think Gruber has figured it out.
unpredictable nature of the European regulatory environment
They are aware in which country they’re actually operating in, right? Banana Republic > People who care. Got it.
Daring Fireball: Meta Won’t Bring Future Multimodal AI Models to EU
Another big win for Thierry Breton and Margrethe Vestager
Well… it actually is. And Gruber might as well fall from his high US horse one day. Maybe give it some thought… Maybe some Europeans are quite fond of their government not bowing and kissing Big Techs asses. Seems ok to find lousy excuses to not even try to not exploit their users.
@heyloura oh, I‘m very interested in this! Curious to read a long term review. I‘d like to get out of the iOS ecosystem a bit, but I‘m just not sure about the everyday usage of these other systems. But I‘m a huge fan of the Fairphone concept.
@manton the whole world is in a downward spiral. It will take a very long time to get out of it again… but I sure hope you‘re right 💪
@eurobubba I wish I had your optimism… But the world is just crazy. Even if it won’t be Trump… wherever you look… just more crazy…
@chrisaldrich thank god it’s sold out 🤣
@chrisaldrich I already have problems to find enough space for all my keyboards 🫣 For typewriters I would need a separate shed in the garden 😉
@numericcitizen I remember driving to Plitvice and seeing lots of destroyed houses or churches with bullet holes. All in beautiful scenery. That war is long gone, but somehow it’s still there.
@numericcitizen oh! I‘ve been there… love this place!
If you pinned me down and had me choose one album… I think it might be The Blue Album.
@Gabz you‘re not alone with this… I feel exactly the same way… Thanks for sharing.
@pratik agreed 👍 Also: history shows, that lots of the keynote stuff will a) not work as good as promised b) come in reduced form 1 month before next WWDC or c) never be mentioned again, ever 😉
@pratik yes, that's true. And there's no solution, so maybe not a "problem" in itself. But a large (maybe paying) user base is cut off, earning the developers less money. But specialized apps will always provide more functionality. DayOne is a great example.
It's very funny though that they gave a design award to Gentler Streak last week, and today they announced (a basic but still very important) feature set of exactly that app 😉
@pratik I didn't keep track of everything, but I remember Password Managers, Tiling Window Managers, Note Taking Apps, Equation Solving Apps, some Fitness Apps, and of course parts of Widget Smith … emphasizes one of the many risks for developers on the platform.
@jsonbecker There's a lot in there that nobody needs or will use of course, but integrating your personal context and being able to work with apps using natural language is the most outstanding feature I think. It doesn't "just" create text or "just" generate an image. It's how these things are seemlessly integrated into everything, how they transform your handwriting and typed text into your handwriting… stuff like that. People will mostly not realize, that they use AI. And I don't think anyone needs to watch this 1.75h long ad 😉
@vincent it‘s so refreshing to see a plain and simple website for once. Should be a good example for others…
@hutaffe this video of the founder though gives a different impression. Although, I can't verify if and what is actually new with the display. Really interesting thing…
@jsonbecker oh! Interesting, thanks for the pointer! The early review Om linked to looks promising. I'll still wait for more reviews, though. I'm really intrigued, and it somehow feels like betraying my reMarkable 😉
@cliffordbeshers @odd That‘s the difference of when I would make that photo vs. when an actual photographer makes that photo. Seeing the potential in a scene is a great skill on its own. To me this would look like a pile of garbage, and my photo would like a pile of garbage, if I even took it 😉 @maique makes it a piece of art. Really great 😊
