When I was a boy, the internet was alive…

@robb getzola.org – simple html/css.

@lara_amalia getzola.org. It’s brilliantly simple.

Slowly working my way through a few terabytes of timelapses shot in Feb and March.

Just after dinner we saw auroras poking through gaps in the cloud. I setup my first camera outside the rental cabin, pointed across the fjord to capture the clouds rolling by.

For the next hour I was helping my FIL shoot the more active auroras in the east. And didn't realise that my cloud timelapse was turning into an aurora timelapse :) Huge win.

It’s very unlike #apple to come up with a half-baked solution, but that is what they have done with their implementation of Profiles. None of the slickness of @arcbrowser, none of the keyboard shortcuts… but the one thing in their favour is they haven’t introduced #ai into the mix. Yet…

What time is it?!?

We check out an off-road EV-charging oasis at King of the Hammers

Exactly as it should be!

Some people are spending a lot of time and energy trying to figure out how to use "AI" to automate other people's jobs rather than their own.

Having had a stroke a couple of years ago, I won’t be trying out Apple’s Vision Pro. I’ll leave that to all the trailblazers with deep pockets. For more about medical conditions and the Apple Vision Pro

Apple’s Vision Pro reminds me of the View-Master stereoscope my uncle brought me from the US in the 1960s, with added straps. Oh, and tech… Yours for the princely sum of £24.95 from eBay

@brentsimmons It’s the ‘having’ to get up early, I don’t like.

My first Mac – the one that I owned – was a standard spec 1994 Macintosh Quadra 650

An unnecessary debate! Only the kind of nonsense you’d hear from a true believer.

“The biggest misconception of AI is that it’s a problem we need to solve now (or even that it’s a problem at all). This reduces AI’s credibility, starts an unnecessary debate, and diverts our attention from more important AI topics.” Josep M Pujol, chief of research, Brave Search #AI

@WuMargaret There are so many out there, including Reeder, which is already mentioned. But I stick with @NetNewsWire because it gets rid of all the crud and leaves you with a straightforward story to read.
