Very important news for the internet:

I found a tape I recorded of me pretending to host news when I was around 7 years old 📺 Stay tuned for a link to the recording.

I absolutely did this too! So what's the modern day equivalent of this for kids? is this what tiktok is for?

@aaronpk awesome! I did the same last week, and agreed with a customer to move too. Sadly none in the TB/sec range, but every message helps.

nice! Yeah hopefully it eventually makes a dent

Any suggestions for a solid alternative to Cloudflare if we still need that kind of a service?

I haven't looked around much yet but I'm sure there are plenty of options. I figured I'd flip this switch off and wait a couple weeks and if it becomes a problem I'll investigate more.

Coincidentally enough I just watched 15 minutes of it this evening and it was so much worse than I thought it was going to be

but was it bad in a good way or just bad

Thanks Aaron. Maybe I should wear a white or yellow blazer coat or something that's a bit more hi-viz. I've been thinking a coat & tie might be a good touch anyways.

why not both!

That's great feedback! I'll consider that. The reason I've been on the right is that I use my right hand to shift and ring my bell. I also will do this holding a mic in my left hand (like the Bridge Pedal vid). But I hear you abt safety of the subject. Thanks.

I was riding in the back the whole time and did feel a little more comfortable with me being a buffer behind them. Not that it's sustainable to enlist another rider for all future interviews 😅

This is my single regret with buying the 16” MacBook Pro. Everything else I absolutely love about this laptop

This is why the 11" MacBook Air was my favorite form factor

☑️ Not wanting to make them
⬜️ Feeling obligated to make them

(Unless it’s a specific idea I generally don’t enjoy them and I wouldn’t expect someone to enjoy watching something I didn’t enjoy making)

Where's the checkbox for "want to want to make them"

@aaronpk Do you know if the oauth playground recently changed? It seems as if encoded values in the state parameter is no longer preserved on the redirect? https://github.com/dotMorten/WinUIEx/issues/75#issuecomment-1230889995

no I don't think anything has changed, at least not since April 2020, but let's DM about this because I'd like to know more about what you're trying to do

Fascinating! Does auto follow-me mode also avoid obstacles like trees and powerlines?

Some of the drones have front/back sensors for obstacle avoidance and will go around/over things, but I think in all cases power lines are too small for them to see. I just think it's interesting that the UK makes this allowance, since the US does not have this exception.

@aaronpk 56 GB for the software only? That is mind-boggling. Adobe's Creative Suite was the last thing I owned, and it was partially responsible for me to choose a different professional path, one where I didn't have to keep using Adobe CS. I miss Photoshop sometimesl (I even used to teach it at PNCA), but I minimized my toolset, and don't do anything that can't be done in Acorn.

ok that might have been a slight exaggeration, but it gets close to that once you install Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Lightroom, Audition, Premiere, and After Effects, all of which I have used somewhat regularly.

@aaronpk Are you using Gimp now or something else?

no i really don't like that software. I'm using mostly Lightroom on iOS and Affinity Photo on mac, and Keynote for some things I used to do in Photoshop too

@aaronpk Oh, I so wish Apple could dust off Aperture and do a Photoshop equivalent. Together then with Logic and Final Cut, they’d have a real contender.

I know right? Logic and FCP are great! I used Aperture a ton back in the day

With you on canceling Creative Cloud!

I suspect you didn’t mean it, but blood pressure in decibels… going to steal that for parenting!

oh it was very much intentional

What have you replaced Photoshop with?

I realized I was mostly editing photos in Lightroom iOS now, and using Keynote for simple layouts for YT thumbnails, and only used photoshop for really basic things like resizing images. Affinity solves that nicely.

I cancelled my Adobe CC subscription and got back $55/mo and 55gb of hard drive space

tbh not having to wait 12 seconds for the Photoshop "Export As" dialog to load anymore has reduced my blood pressure by at least 12db
