Missed connections: Me and Apple

Sadly, unlike so so many of my fellow long-time Apple fans, I have no picture of me with my first Mac. It’s probably just as well. You would not be able to handle the sheer hair of it all. Most of …

Six Colors
Apple was once convinced the future of computing was 'apps', so iPad was designed married to that idea. But we're 16 years on now, and the present of computing is AI, and IDEs, command lines and virtualization, and Python, and git, and scripting and automation. iPad risks being completely left behind as a computing platform by not supporting any of that stuff properly, and developer interest has been waning for years now. It's well past time for iPad to get its shit together, and open up

The internet has changed. Not for the better.

A big part of it used to be linking between sites. Ideas and information connected. Now the biggest platforms downrank anything that sends you away.

Headlines used to inform. Now they’re just clickbait.

It used to feel like a place for human creativity and shared knowledge. Now it’s increasingly just computer generated content.

Feels like we’ve engineered ourselves into a corner where the internet is no longer the information hub we need.

Oh hey, it's #TransDayOfVisiblity -- shouting out all my lovely trans friends and sending quiet love to the folks who can't live as themselves because of the shitty policies of governments like my own

Trans rights are human rights. Period.

I don't understand why anyone's favourite season would be anything other than autumn or spring.

Autumn and spring:
✅ Moderate weather
✅ Beautiful colours galore
✅ Short and sweet

Summer and Winter:
⛔ Potential for death by temperature
⛔ Dull, singular colours
⛔ So long you forget what the other seasons felt like

Yes, you got that right.

If I understand correctly, the ICE agents assigned to the TSA aren’t actually screening passengers or baggage. They’re just standing around providing “security” (something the airport police already were doing).

What a joke.
