Adding this @tcelectronic CLARITY M STEREO hardware to my Resolve setup has made balancing audio so much easier. It’s amazing to see your audio levels so clearly.

what that's so cool, I need one!

Is installing a Unifi Door Access system for my front door overkill? Yes.

Do I want to do it anyway? Absolutely.

It seems like with a fail-secure electronic door strike, you could put a regular doorknob with a physical key as a backup in case the power goes out or the whole system goes down, and it'll work like a regular door in that case.

If you think about it, since most people have to get their eyes checked every few years. Aren't glasses/contacts just a subscription service for sight?

thanks I hate it

Web3 is pretty clearly about grift / scamming people. I withheld judgement waiting for viable use cases to emerge. I'm calling it: there aren't any that I've been able to see through the cacophony of scams.

LOL! We moved so I don't live there any more!
BUT I keep a page of "straight text" for when I need to copy and paste into forms!

Funny to hear from you! I was thinking about Indy web this morning and how much autonomy you have been teaching for a decade!

It's a little terrifying that it's been that long tbh! Still living and breathing it though, including how I'm writing this post!

I'm one of those pet owners that has a manual for when I go away and an online database for my VET to interact with me through.

We really need to be focusing as much resilience as we can for each of us.

Did you just put your front door code on the internet 😮

I love it though, this is much prettier than the page of text I leave for mine.

But what especially grabs me is how *seedy* these words generally are. Consider the above examples, along with turncoat (traitor), lickspittle (toady), skinflint (miser), turnkey (gaoler), scofflaw (criminal), lackwit (fool), cutthroat (murderer) or sellsword (mercenary).

Sucks for the people at Figma that have to convince themselves and others that this is great news.

And for the folks at Adobe working on whatever the thing was that Figma was dominating.

Ugh, I’m doing my roof and gutters. What is the best way to get solar panels? I assume the “for free” people are a bit scammy?

Don't go the "for free" route. It's not actually a scam, but it's basically an agreement that you'll keep the panels for a fixed period of time like 15-20 years, which can really mess things up for future owners of the house. Ask me how I know 😬🙃

California's antitrust case against Amazon feels anachronistic, like a witchcraft charge, or some other ancient crime that we no longer prosecute. It's true, antitrust spent 40 year in a coma! The Amazon case neatly illustrates how it was sedated, and why it finally roused. 1/

To all OS and Browser developers out there. There's not, and never will be, a moment were I want to close all my apps and tabs wait for a restart and update and then reopen all my apps and tabs. It's on you to figure out how to do it in the middle of the night without me noticing

Today was supposed to be me mostly celebrating the book I gave over 9 months of my life to…

But I spent half of it debating the ethics of YouTube Educators w/ someone convinced that we have to be unethical bc $$$

The lesson.
I’m done w/ intellectually dishonest clout goblins

Yeah just ignore that crap, nobody else will see it. And congrats on the launch!

Meeting is done… PBOT will share proposal w added promised features and give folks until this Monday (emails of everyone were gathered) to sign off on it. Then it’s full steam ahead.

(Not sure what happens if the neighbors say no to the proposal.)

Full story tomorrow. 😎

Not the outcome I expected! I hope I'll be able to see a copy of the plan too!

If I've missed a message from you it's not because I'm too busy, it's because no human being can routinely check email, text, Signal, Whatsapp, Telegram, Discord and DM's on every social platform... lol
