I had a dream last night that I joined a Zoom call and they had done some sponsorship deal with an upcoming Alien franchise movie.
When you joined a meeting it defaulted your video to all these rotating viewpoints of one of those facehugger things attacking you.
Probably a sign I need a break 😅
I always thought SoundHound was the better app because It also supported just humming the melody of a song you were trying to remember.
Haven’t compared them in a while though
I live in Cary! 👋🏻
Now that Bluesky is picking up steam simply by copying all the great things about old Twitter before it got shitty, we need the same for Pinterest
I'm going to start posting what I'm working on with @apocalypsetrivia.com
I haven't given it much (any) love over the last 12-18 months, but it still converts ~50% of free trials and has a pretty passionate userbase
Maybe it's time to stop lurking and actually join the #buildinpublic community
If they simply set their plan tiers by device count, then it doesn't matter who has a login or where they are watching it.
The limit is the limit.
It is interesting that streaming platforms decided "unlimited devices" is a better model. I suppose it's a bit more consumer friendly on the surface, but it also directly led to the proliferation of login sharing, which they now are trying different ways to restrict. Unsuccessfully and unpopularly.
That is also how we typically handle this in the software world.
"Your license entitles you to use this software on 2 computers"
You register the computers you want to use it on and if you need to change in the future, you can deregister and register a new one.
I wish these streaming companies trying to limit account use to a single household would instead make their plans just have a total device limit and count them via MAC addresses.
DisneyPlus thinks that each tv in my house is from a different household and makes me update my location every time. (I think because Google Fiber sometimes assigns IPs that come up as a different geographical location)
Now it has locked me out for doing it too much.
Your desk is this XKCD comic
They aren't custom wake words, but my kids use Ziggy and Echo
I would watch a well written comedy series like The Office set in the Star Wars universe
Yep, a breath of fresh air. Has the same feeling of older Twitter + Tweetbot
Had to do it.
I set a short expiration hoping this flurry fades, but 80% of the posts I was seeing were about creating or asking to be added to starter packs.
Love the concept, don’t love the current side effects
It’s like a weird double light press, but not full press. It brings up menu to choose which camera setting to control (zoom, exposure, etc). Light press to select that control, then swipe to adjust it.
I use it to open the camera and frequently as the shutter button. Haven't quite mastered using it to do manual camera controls yet. The light double tap is hard.
Ive been reading it as the individual letters until I just saw this line in the docs…
When we say AT Protocol out loud, are we saying each letter or one word like “cat” without the c?
Yeah, they added support for it about 2 weeks ago.

My wife and I both got new phones a couple of weeks ago. We just got the bill and I noticed that Verizon charged the total sales tax from that one transaction (2 phones) to _each_ line, effectively doubling the sales tax.
Billing systems are hard.
Viewing it as a sanctuary for left-leaning folks where they can completely escape the right-wing promotion of the twitter algo is the wrong perspective IMO.
The beauty I see here is that the tools allow you to make this app/site what *you* want. Feeds, lists, starterpacks, labels.
This is why I’m most intrigued by this platform. BlueSky (at least so far) is what I had hoped Twitter would move toward. Even with Musk initially talking about open sourcing the algorithm gave some hope it would return to the developer friendly platform of old. But it evolved in a different way.
Found this video about the same issue I had and was able to get it working with the scotch tape trick.

Just did some tv repair, and it actually worked!
There are several GitHub actions workflows out there you can use to publish to .org easily. I would go that route unless you want to learn SVN!
