    I'm this old. #memes

  • Missed a bit of #WCEU. So sharing some linkss, most of which I haven't seen yet. "WordCamp Europe 2024: Matt Mullenweg Keynote Presentation" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELW4Jdvujbc Looking for more #WCEU stuff to bookmark/share with #WordPress folks and for my own resources.

  • In reply to @davidbisset. There a fine line between cynical viewpoints and "calling it like how it is". Listening to others $0.02 (maybe they don't care for someone in a tech community or have gripes about latest tech trends) can expand your thinking and keep you honest. They aren't 100% wrong either. But they complain…

  • Unfollowed a few folks. A reminder It's ok to unfollow people in your #Mastodon timeline that 99% offer negative and "this is why this company/tech sucks" comments. And seem to find others that have 99% in their timelines as well and feed on each other in an orgy of symbiotic grumpiness. It's ok even if…

  • As someone who attends AND ran conferences, I find this idea interesting and having potential: "Using #AI to spark connections at a #conference" Folks will poo-poo this as "sucking humanity out of ____" or something but as someone who can't start conversations but knows importance of in-person networking, I would see maybe using a tool…

    Company: "We've updated our Terms of Service and your privacy is now less private than it was before." Me: 🤔

  • I'm in my 40s and I learned a lot about #dishwashers by watching this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHP942Livy0

  • Still catching up on #WWDC announcements but regarding the keynote I think #Apple did what was expected, and in the #Apple way (the good version). I think most of it was smart, practical, and with less (but not zero) "glue with pizza" possibilities. But it's all in the execution, which will remain to be seen.…

  • "Apple's AI Strategy in a Nutshell" https://nextword.substack.com/p/apples-ai-strategy-in-a-nutshell Interesting: "If most of #Siri interaction with the user ends with the user never opening any app, then this means apps have less discoverability and monetization opportunities." So app makers in a similar boat maybe as website folks with Google Search. Although I think app makers have more…

  • If #Apple truly calls it "Apple Intelligence" in the keynote that's already more clever branding and PR that what i've seen from #Google and #Microsoft. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-07/apple-wwdc-2024-what-to-expect-ai-ipados-18-macos-15-siri-updates-more

  • OH: Today: "We will not use, read, or sell your data". One year after rollout: "We've updated our policy. Click accept or lose access to your device/service". #tech #privacy #AI

  • Why I 🧡 the web: This is going to sound odd, but it's Friday. I was addicted a bit with this "web paddle #game". https://raould.github.io/pn0gstr0m/ Have fun for a few minutes.

  • Not a "it's #crypto so I already can make fun of this" time. Instead this is a cautionary tale of having secret keys/info in public repos. Mistakes happen, be careful. "Developer posts secret key on #GitHub, loses $40K in 2 minutes" https://cointelegraph.com/news/web3-dev-loses-40k-github-key-leak

    "Ice" is an #opensource tool for #MacOS that acts as a menu bar management tool. Some are looking at this now as a Bartender replacement, although this doesn't seem to be as full featured yet. https://github.com/jordanbaird/Ice

    #Adobe policy updates. If you use their products for confidential projects, this might be worth being on your radar. Because it's come up in the same conversation – just going to here for my records (and anyone else) this list of alternatives for #Adobe software. https://github.com/KenneyNL/Adobe-Alternatives #webdev #design #photoshop

  • I of course used to use #Adobe big time in my early web days. Once they went subscription, I did annual for a few years then dropped them for Pixelmator Pro (a #MacOs app that I paid a one-time fee for, but paid to update later). https://www.pixelmator.com/pro/ Not only does it do 90% of what…

  • Which of the three types of people are you? If you don't drive vote based on how well you know yourself).

  • In reply to @davidbisset. Wildcard is the #OpenAI partnership though. That is the anti-matter to Apple's "Privacy sell" matter. Meaning it could cause a huge explosion or that it can channel an advancement of warp drive if done right.

  • Next week #WWDC predictions? #AI wise easy: Nothing that's going to match or top Google, Microsoft. #Apple will focus on iterations and practical ways intelligence is incorporated into the OS. This will extract a cry of "Apple is behind on AI". Which they are. But not worried. They'e always been fast followers. If they don't…

    Mistakes happen. Not coming down hard on #Shopify here but this scare probably could have been prevented if this $25m a year business maybe didn't put all their eggs in one basket. #OwnYourOwnContent Imagine doing that much $$$ and you could be seemingly wiped out in 7 days with no recourse.
