I clicked “not interested in this ad” for perhaps 5 times already, and every time I open Twitter I see it again.
I really am not the target audience for that service, what’s the point? Was this a ploy to get me to retweet/amplify this? It worked 😛

they're running out of ads to show since everyone is pulling their ad budgets 😅

WV temps swing wildly in a normal year, but the shift last night was especially crazy: from 45 degrees to -2 in about 6-7 hours. And it’ll be in the sixties again next week 🙃

oof we had a 20 degree drop in that time and that was bad enough

It's gonna be a while before AI takes all our jobs though.

Or maybe not, since it speaks with the confidence of a mediocre white man while gaslighting me throughout this whole reply.

chatGPT is great for when I'm too high to figure out how to ask a real search engine and I don't really care if the answer is right

I can't tell if showing views on twitter is like showing the number of views on youtube (great! people who watched my videos!) or like showing the number of people who saw my thumbnail and didn't click (not so great, people who chose not to engage)

AI is cool.

I just finished recording and editing 20 new video lessons for a course.

Uploaded the videos to Sonix and it created a (mostly) accurate transcript.

Uploaded the transcript to ChatGPT and asked it to create a summary of the lesson for the landing page!

I feel like this is particularly notable because while I enjoy explaining things, I really don't enjoy creating the "wrapper" content around it (like title and thumbnail on youtube, or summary of a video course lesson), so I'm happy to let the AI get me 90% of the way there!

Yes this is clearly an endorsement not only of dense housing, but also of public transportation, walking, biking. Cities are key to reducing emissions.

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

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

https://gist.github.com/chris-79/4ffb9318c42cb3d0a0e8e7d670cfd332

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.

Alright I will give it a try!
