The Neistats are back in New York… the world is gradually recovering some of its former glory. I would happily watch the vlog if he brought it back.

re, Needless ratings
Do you know what happens when we buy something from our local shops?
… it’s like we’re human beings or something 🤯
As a result of the move from last year, we are no longer using a TV anywhere in the house and I no longer have an iPad. I have since discovered that I do not like using my computer or phone for leisure activities (reading, watching, etc).
When it comes to technology, my knowledge largely comes from my lack of fear over trying new things and pressing buttons just to see what they do.

It always feels good to discover that your approach to something you care about is shared by others.
Well I’m never going to Center Parcs. Utter madness.
I’ve just read How to Write a Blog Post for the first time. Wow.
A great developer can come from anywhere is one of my favourite pieces of writing. Whenever I revisit it the better part of my brain, full with better decision-making and clarity of thought, is given the jolt it needs.
Lock-screen widgets from third-party developers — the main reason I updated so quickly — are not currently available due to a bug made by Apple.
Yet more proof that you shouldn’t have arbitrary, marketing-led production schedules.
I think I’m ready — once the money is available — to get a traditional phone and keep my smartphone in reserve as a media player/point-and-shoot/back-up for the “modern world”.
The experiment feels good: separate the key feature — communication — from the handheld computer.
If you pay for Apple Music Family for, say, 10 years. That is £1,800.
Now say the price of the average album is £10. That’s 180 albums.
In the first instance your access to the music can disappear oh-so very easily when compared to the second. No thanks, I reject this choice.
New Apple workout idea: Home-making.
I can work at a fair clip when I’m getting a bunch of things done at once; dishes, laundry, tidying, hoovering, taking out the rubbish, and a number of connected tasks therein. I’m definitely highly active but the Watch doesn’t count it.
Doppler for Mac 2.1 is a damned good update.
It’s amazing to me how easily people misunderstood the scale of Apple’s operations.
The reason they differ from the other companies of similar scale? They’re attempting to provide a guaranteed experience, whilst the others are fine with differences from customer to customer.
The new AirPods Pro have better battery? That’s enough for me.
This is a complicated subject, and so I understand why it doesn’t get spoken about in public as often as other issues and ideas.
However, I feel the need to admit that I am utterly jealous of the people who get paid to work. It is one difficult aspect of being a carer.
Vincent has an interesting posts on keeping things simple, with some good advice for people like Vincent.
For those of us not like Vincent; don’t worry about it. Do whatever works for you. If you feel good about using your to-do list, then you keep using that to-do list.
Watching Cartoon Network get thrown into the memory hole is yet another sign that the plans we have in this house to create as much of a traditional media system as possible are correct.
I wish I could more easily share conversations on Micro.blog. Even this manual process of hand-picked highlighting is difficult, to the point that it might as well be considered impossible.
It’s as if only the Micro.blog team are allowed to easily share Micro.blog activity.
Changes to Apple’s podcasting hosting requirements means there’s a chance of more work for the Micro.blog team. Hopefully not too much!
I’ve just opened the Micro.blog Help Centre to find that I’ve been logged out of my account. I have done literally nothing to make this happen, and as far as I’m aware there is nothing from the side of Manton or Discourse.
Probable cause; Safari’s bullshit at work yet again.
Later this year Save Tonight will be 25 years-old. 🎵
Federico Viticci’s damning conclusion with regard to the state of Stage Manager is the latest in a list of reasons that I am glad to have switched my primary computing from the iPad to the Mac.
Gruber’s latest post regarding the new version of the Mac’s System Settings and SwiftUI made me immediately think about @manton’s insistence that Apple should have chosen to further improve development of their existing technologies.
Change for the sake of change is never good.
Sometimes I’ll thread my posts as replies, whilst other times I’ll make a separate short post or a long post. Micro.blog provides me with the flexibility to do this and I never have to think about algorithms, anonymous hate, or dysfunctional updates.
Per my cloud-fist-shaking regarding the disatisfying experience of music via streaming and social media, I continue to be relieved and pleased with the continued development of Doppler. You select the music and it just plays, instantly, as if you’re using a computer!
