@WarnerCrocker Happy Birthday, Warner! I’m so glad I found your writing on this little corner of the web! You make the world a little brighter.

@WarnerCrocker There may be perfectly valid reasons for this, but I have to say it’s not a good look. It makes it seem that they don’t want to deal with hard questions, and that doesn’t bode well for how they are thinking about their many messes. Avoidance does not lead to a better place.

@WarnerCrocker Interesting read. Scary for sure, but at least the Anthropic guy is talking about it. Not sure anyone is listening, which is what makes it even more scary.

@inthehands What a great thread, and well said! While I’m not a musican, the way you describe feeling and living music is perfect. Music has been super-important to me my whole life, in good times and bad. It can make me smile and it can make me cry, and that’s mostly because of the *life* imbued within by the artist. Thank you for writing this.

@WarnerCrocker Interesting. I use both Pixelmator and Photomator on my iPad. I hope this means a long life with great integration and new features ahead!

@WarnerCrocker I was thinking the same thing.

@WarnerCrocker This kind of BS makes my blood boil.

@WarnerCrocker I agree. I think it’s part muscle memory and part learning how the thing works. I’m hopeful. I’ve wanted a real camera button for a long time and really want this to work! Going on a trip soon so will put it to good use.

@WarnerCrocker Such a dark day. I am having a hard time processing it.

@WarnerCrocker Shocking. Ok, not really shocking at all.

@WarnerCrocker I just ordered 11/512/black. I toyed with 13” for a change, but I tried that once and found it too big. Plus, I can plug in to a monitor when I need more space.

@WarnerCrocker Yeah, I’m going to do the same. I don’t want to spend money on a new battery for a 3 year old tech device. Which one are you getting?

New iPad Pros look really nice. Lots of hate already being spewed, but it’s more than a simple spec bump. It’s super nice! Plus, meaningful updates to the pro apps. Pundits are gonna whine, but the iPad continues to impress and improve.

My 3 year old iPad Pro works great, but the battery has been less than stellar lately (< 70% of orig capacity). So, do I spend big $$ for better battery (and all the other stuff)? Hard to resist…

@WarnerCrocker Awesome! Our Alliums are getting close but not quite as open yet.

@WarnerCrocker Very well said, Warner.

@WarnerCrocker @mako I second NetNewsWire. It’s great.

@WarnerCrocker Good post, Warner.

@WarnerCrocker Same here. And while I still have no desire to own one these devices, I am again impressed with the technology and user experience they’ve created. I look forward to the day when this can be part of my regular eyeglasses. I’d be all-in on that!
