Sorry but Apple should absolutely be the ones who ate shit over the free U2 album in iTunes, not U2. Apple is the one on the tech side who should have known better. U2 records and performs music. What proper band would say no to having their music sent around the world like that?
I’m not really complaining about a 30C weekend in September. I’m just confused.🤔
@cdevroe I hope it does! I bought it with video clients in mind, but those have sort of dried up for now so it feels like overkill for the audio clients I'm working with. But it's still a lot of fun to use. :)
@cdevroe I was in a similar situation and ended up with a Mac Studio and while I don't regret it at all, I do kind of miss the portable power a modern MacBook Pro gave me for a while. Now over a year later, I'm thinking of picking up a M2 Air for portability?
Apple nerds don’t let their friends buy new iPhones a week before an Apple iPhone event.
I’m making a variation of a sheet pan quesadilla for supper tonight and I’m very excited to eat it later. That’s all. Send post.
A trailer for A Minecraft Movie is out and can say whatever you want about storyline or casting, at least it looks beautiful and Minecraft-y which will be fun to see on the big screen.
I don’t know what Snapchat could do to lose the stranglehold it has on teens, but throwing ads in the inbox and Snap Map won’t even bother teens. My own kids are so averse to texting that they’d rather wait for screen time for Snapchat to unlock than text. 😆
How much do I avoid / hate pricing and estimating my work? I send one pricing estimate to a possible client and my brain says “Yep. That’ll do. Works done for the day.” 😆
Slow Horses season 4 is out tomorrow on AppleTV+ which gives you plenty of time to catch up the first 3 seasons because they’re excellent and you’ll binge the 18 episodes (6 episodes per season like a proper British series) in no time.
The joy of hearing an artist get to sing their songs on the largest stage they grew up next to with their family and friends… and 38,000 neighbors along for the ride. Noah Kahan: Live from Fenway Park is out.
Glad to see Only Murders in the Building back for season 4. We watched ep1 last night and it feels like they haven’t missed a beat from past seasons, including some fun guest star spots.
@petebrown Yeah I generally agree with Manton's decision that photos are allowed in the timeline view, but everything else goes somewhere else. :)
School hasn’t actually started here and I’m already buried under Edsby emails.
I love my new desk riser a lot. I’m just annoyed at myself that I waited so long to get one.
If Apple announces new Apple TV hardware this fall, then I think Nick and I are obligated to record a new episode of 25c. 😆
@numericcitizen i.e. if you search for mine (Faraway So Micro) it turns up this page op3.dev/show/cdbd... but no data yet.
@numericcitizen In theory you should be able to go to op3.dev/setup and search for your show name. Yours shows up but it might not have had enough time to view download stats to build a page yet.
@manton Ha thanks! I'm glad I added the "TLDR to the link" at the beginning because it started to feel like one of those recipe blog posts that tell the family history before just getting to the dang recipe. 😆
New blog post: Micro.Blog Podcasting + OP3 Stats
@manton Just in case you don't see the reply, John (creator of OP3) wrote a plugin fro Microblog and it seems to do the trick. micro.blog/account/p...
😮💨 “I would never get a puppy again.” 🥲 “You will question everything you know about yourself and your life.” 💗 “The bond that comes with a puppy growing up in your family is unlike anything else.”
So… anyway. Wish us luck starting mid-September. 😆😱🤦♂️
@ArnoldHoogerwerf Thanks for letting me in your ear drums! :)
@iChris ps you can subscribe to this micro podcast thing at all the usual places microblog.chrisenns.com/podcast/
@Annie I think the worst thing would be an annoyed Noid in the void. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_...
@help Just a heads up that the checkmarks are a little large on Arc (Chrome I assume?) in the curate replies on the web share.cleanshot.com/lkcV6D6zy...
@Annie I'm just now beginning to have a whole new appreciation for the void. I might have to start scheduling coffee chats with the void so I can better understand where it's coming from in the future so I can a-void being so insensitive in how I speak about the void. 💔
@manton Sweet! I'll check that out. Thanks. And I'll help you in any way I can in terms of podcasting + Micro.blog, but I'll also help you by not trying to write code that other users will use on Micro.blog. 😆
Kelce brothers apparently signed a $100 million dollar, 3 year deal with Amazon’s Wondery for their podcast, New Heights. Which is similar to what Travis Kelce’s football contract is. Wild.
@ronkjeffries Thanks for listening to my weird ramblings! 😆
@petebrown Hey thanks! :) So clicking through to the website and listening vs subscribing elsewhere, right? That's the one thing that the micro.blog podcasting set up makes awkward is pointing people to subscription options outside of micro.blog.
@dinorancho.bsky.social Haha thanks! I'll add extra reverb next time to make it even more echo-y.
If Snapchat is finally going native on the iPad, is Instagram going to follow soon?
Remakes of The Crow have a tough hill to climb. The Crow (1994) was like a beautiful grunge / goth music video that arrived at a perfect time when Batman was getting the Tim Burton treatment, and a darker hero was needed.
Plus Brandon Lee’s unfortunate death on set only added to the mystique.
You can tell things are going really well over at Facebook by the fact that they seem to be the primary sponsor of BeReal.
Sorry to anyone at the McDonald’s drive thru who had to witness my ugly cry this morning.
Apparently it’s been a while since I’ve done my “Bad / 40 / Where the Streets Have No Name” therapy session.
Lesson learned and mistake won’t be made again. If Brad Frost is putting on a concert for his 40th birthday party, you should definitely try and go.
I love how much joy, happiness, and creativity pours out of the photos and videos from Frostapalooza. 🎉
@Annie I’m feeling that tension as well. We’re still a couple of weeks away from school here, and I’m ready for uninterrupted work flows to resume.
@microadrian That's the wonderful @Annie on here. I forgot to tag her in the original post.
