    @aaronpk I know, right!? I guess there's no rules about what you can name yourself... but if it's the opposite maybe it crosses the line.

    you know who does have rules about what they can name things... pharmaceutical companies!

    It's not something I hear people talking about, so I'll just throw it out there.

    #OpenAI isn't open.
    It's received $1 Billion in funding from some of the biggest names in venture capital.

    What happens when these investors influence the output of #ChatGPT? How would we know there's a bias?

    We should be literally afraid of one company, who owes so much to so many other entities, being seen as a future all-knowing answer source. These VCs will get a return one way or another.

    when I first heard about OpenAI I was like oh cool so it's like open source AI? oh, no it's not open source, but at least the API must be open then? no? I have to sign up for a paid plan? 🤔

    Anybody have advice on good bookkeeping software for a small #indieweb business? Is QuickBooks really the best game in town?

    Aaron Parecki
    This year I switched from QuickBooks (Desktop) to YNAB, which isn't exactly business bookkeeping software but I am choosing to use it that way. So far it's been nice, but we'll see how I feel about it once I have to send reports to my CPA.

  • How to create a keyboard shortcut to export the current slide in Keynote

    Lately I've been using Apple Keynote to create graphics for using in videos and blog posts. It's a quick way to arrange things on a page, copying and pasting most things just works, and there are enough built in shapes and tools to get the point across. However, after spending a full day creating graphics for a video, I found myself frustrated by the number of clicks required to export a single slide at a time.

    No prob, man :)

    And, if you want it to not do the "unskip" thing, just comment-out lines 39-41

    https://gist.github.com/chris-79/4ffb9318c42cb3d0a0e8e7d670cfd332#file-export-current-slide-to-png-applescript-L39-L41
    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah that's tricky, because if you don't skip all but the selected slide, then it exports all of them. Ideally there should be an AppleScript action for exporting only the selected slides, but I don't think that exists.

    I forgot that I already had an AppleScript action in @KeyboardMaestro that does this 🤦‍♂️

    https://share.cleanshot.com/Dp6XLS7MGnjzg0TRkwsq

    I made an "App: Keynote" folder that only activates for that app

    Aaron Parecki
    That AppleScript is exactly what I was looking for, thank you! ✨

    The only minor inconvenience is that it sets all slides to unskipped afterwards, but that's fine for how I'm using it in this case!

    Brace yourself.

    One of the most brutal Arctic cold outbreaks on record is gathering momentum and moving through North America right now.

    Wind chills are hitting extremely dangerous levels of -70°F (-57°C) in Wyoming.

    I definitely can do it. As for stopping clicks from working, I actually can't do that, so I'm not entirely sure what happened. Ask on the forum (https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com/) if you need some help making the macro.
    Aaron Parecki
    Alright I will give it a try!

    Ok #Remarkable users, this is an AMAZING upgrade! It’s a custom generated PDF for your eink device that turns it into a HYPERLINKED planner! Almost a full app inside a single 600+ page PDF! I’m kicking myself I didn’t think of it http://tiktok.com/t/ZTRqkabBs/ -> http://hyperpaper.me

    Aaron Parecki
    I literally just made one of these for myself! The year overview layout on mine is based on a wall calendar layout I've been using for 5 years, and I haven't seen any other PDF planners that do it this way! I decided to list mine on Etsy.

    https://www.etsy.com/aaronpk/listing/1366795167/2023-remarkable-2-digital-planner

    The customizer/generator website is brilliant though!

    @aaronpk Oh wow. Sorry to hear it broke things!

    Aaron Parecki
    I want to believe in it!

    I am also a little bitter that it took over the command-tab behavior without any warning and with no clear way to revert it 😠

    @aaronpk If you're a Mac user this is where Keyboard Maestro really earns its keep. Set up the steps then assign a trigger — could be a keystroke, or click a button, for example. I have all kinds of things set up in KM that work like that.

    Aaron Parecki
    I just tried but I can't figure out how to get KM to read a specific text field in the export screen and change the value. I tried the "record" feature, and then it broke my computer and I had to restart the OS and uninstall it.

    @KeyboardMaestro, my friend. It can do the most amazing things… Like make that sort of click-heavy task a mere keystroke
    Aaron Parecki
    Well that was a massive fail. I tried it, but I don't think it can get into the specific bits needed to make that work in Keynote. Then it took over my computer and they keyboard and most clicks stopped working. Had to restart.
