normal people: using a level

techy people: using a level app on a phone

me: using @aaronpk‘s avatar picture as a level

If you’re not getting it, try to open his website from a phone and tilt your phone sideways

@aaronpk Another thing, not related to this at all: Thank you so much for your YouTube videos about the Atem Mini and Mini Pro. It was through your videos that I heard about the Atem Mini and got one for work and it really simplified my lectures during the spring semester. So thanks!

awesome, that's great to hear!

There have been a few startups in this space but none have really succeeded. The price point just doesn’t really work for most.

not everything has to be a startup

Painting is suchhhh a hassle. I keep forgetting and saying I’m gonna hire someone and then do it myself and regret it 😂

This makes me feel a lot more justified about hiring someone to paint my studio last week. I was tempted to do it myself after watching some of your videos tho!

@jack Yeah, considered as “just” a phone, and by phone we mean thing people use to make phone calls and send text messages, then I can agree that the SE is Apple’s best attempt. (Though if that is the definition of phone, I miss my old pre-smart phone Motorola. Physical numerical keyboard, great battery life and insanely thin. Also, it worked with iSync to sync my calendar and contacts. :) )

It appears quite a few people miss Touch ID which I find interesting. To me after using Face ID for a couple of days, using Touch ID on my iPad felt like bashing two pieces of rock together to produce fire. It felt so ancient. Touch ID never worked flawlessly for me whereas Face ID works almost every time. The only exceptions are when I’m laying down in bed.

What is it about Touch ID that you find better/more appealing? (Other people who read this should feel free to chime in as well.)

I vastly prefer TouchID and I wish they would bring it back to the newer phones.

When my phone is lying flat, it often can't see my face, so I have to tilt my phone up in order to unlock it to see a notification. It's a lot easier to tap the TouchID sensor to unlock it to glance at a notification.

FaceID is slower than TouchID, I'm still surprised every time I use a device with TouchID and see how quickly it responds.

FaceID fails when you're wearing a mask, which is now a regular part of everyday life, so using my phone outside is extremely frustrating and I end up entering my PIN all the time.

The only saving grace that FaceID has (or had, prior to masks), was that it works when I'm biking while wearing gloves.

That's so good. I keep getting tempted to get a drone then talk myself out of it because of the registration requirement and the restrictions on where you can fly them.

yes, they have become crazily good. the gimbal stabilizer combined with steady flight means I was able to get up to 8 seconds of exposure time in those shots

8 seconds??! Okay which drone is this

From what I’ve seen of Matt’s drone work, they’ve come a hell of a long way in the last ten-fifteen years

drone long exposures!

I am impressed that drones are stable enough that long exposures work!

I'm probably misunderstanding - https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started - the web services part is where I am/was getting confused!

We've been working hard on fighting the idea that being on the IndieWeb is only if you build a website from scratch, so we may have gone a bit far in the opposite direction with that page. Will try to clear it up!

Apparently I can't be a member of IndieWeb because my website isn't on WordPress, Blogger or Micro? Is that for real, or am I missing something?

What on earth gave you that idea? If it's a page on the IndieWeb wiki we can definitely fix that.

omg https://zachleat.com/web/speedlify/ is 14MB if you scroll down to load all the webmentions

uh… I guess I have some work to do

lol I have this problem too! At least you collapse your “likes” and “reposts” sections by default! I’m thinking about adding a “show more comments” button that you have to click in order to show more than the last 20 or so comments.
