technical lettering is among the most beautiful things i’ve been taught. doing it freehand was hard, i sucked at it. obviously it was meant for a machine. i find it really evocative. aresluna.org/the-hardest-...

saw this at Sadler's Wells East, and you should too. It is strange and beautiful. www.thereviewshub.com/humanhood-%E...

good excuse to post this defragzone.substack.com/p/techs-dumb...

no need to follow the news. the best commentary of our times is by @susiedent.com. great addition to any feed.

699€ for a borrowed brand Euro module but AI slop on their web page. good luck

added “substack” to my muted words. i’m sorry.

♪ new Ochre. this doesn't happen every day

trying @flashes.blue app. a bold vision to run on atproto, but clearly will take a lot of refining to work with existing Bluesky accounts, rather than everyone creating a separate/second account. and the filter names look borrowed.

ORLY? 🤪 #dontlookup

wow, Thames Water

this and 20 more very beautiful photos. great scroll, just don't click anywhere else on the site. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sure, let's go back to the days of generous UI, like Bluesky have done here, but ten times more appreciate that it's OK with distracting me less. Incidentally the box led me to a "Hide trending videos" setting too. win.

browsing hundreds of presets in Pigments 6, and every time one by @emptyvesselnz.bsky.social comes along, I know it will be good.

nice day for forest-bathing

If one didn't know RME, they might just think to stay away from getting a Fireface to use with their Mac. (as it stands, some of us who have RME hardware are thinking the same thing, but it's hard to replace such a capable audio interface, and Thunderbolt hardware is expensive)

accidentally blew the dust out of my Mac Studio by finally having something spin up the fans properly. what are your maintenance strategies?

woke up to a bunch of real emails, to real people, addressed to my inbox, but not to me. names not even close. have people stopped giving their actual email addresses or what?
