Hey, @simonwoods, how are you feeling? Seemed like you were stressed last night. Light & love. 💡💛

//@manton @danielpunkass I just started last week’s CoreInt; you may have gotten around to this point, but my immediate reaction to the “incompatibility” of payments and the open web is: how else is one going to own one’s content? Hosting costs money; if I’m not the paying customer, the provider is going to care more about whomever is actually paying their bills. Even if I set up a home server, I’d still be paying for electricity, the hardware, and internet service. 🤔
I’m super happy to have paid both of you for your excellent products (MarsEdit & M.b hosting). 🙂
//@hollyhoneychurch Have you ever met a bodega catto? 😸
I rarely plug apps, but I wanted to say that iMazing is excellent*. Makes full backups of any iOS device and gives quite extensive access to everything. Plus, they’ve figured out how to make those backups incremental, saving quite a bit of space (I have a 256GB iPhone and 128GB iPad). After Apple disabled direct ipa backups, they even added a method to download them directly from the App Store**. Which makes restoring so much faster as all my apps don’t have to be re-downloaded a la Apple’s iCloud backups.
The one downside is that a license only covers a single computer (though they do sell 2 and 5 license version for a significant discount).
Highly recommended! 👍
Added at 6:45pm: I almost forget, it can also prevent iTunes and Photos from launching anytime an iOS device is plugged in. Such an annoyance saver!
* Disclosure, I recently added seats to my license and DigiDNA gave me a discount. (In fact, they gave me a larger discount than I was expecting since I had purchased the first two seats at a discount). Also, while they have a Windows version, I have not used it.
** You can only download the most recent version, but iMazing also keeps the previous downloaded versions. It’s a limitation on Apple’s side.
Shipped a collaborator’s hard drive off to a data rescue service. It’s got a ton of video footage from rural Turkey. Backblaze had half of it, but still 🤞.
Just started Max Gladstone’s Empress Of Forever. He’s just as amazingly inventive with space opera as he is with faithpunk. 👍📚
My niece just texted me that she and her boyfriend are having a great time at the restaurant I recommended. Does that me I leveled up my uncle stats? 🤓
I really need to practice score reading, but I really want to take a nap. Should I embrace my industrious inner beaver? Or my…less than industrious…inner feline? 🐈
Started reading Synthetic: How Life Got Made by Sophia Roosth. Even a few pages in, it’s super thought provoking.
What do folks think of the analogy of playwright/director to pure/applied scientists? 📚
My mom is taking my niece to What the Constitution Means to Me next week. So excited to hear what they both think!
Wow, this is actually happening. A play that dives into American sex/kink/racism is not what I usually expect from Broadway.
Slave Play is brilliant and I highly recommend it. I may get a ticket just to watch the rest of the audience though. Is America ready to literally* look at themselves in the mirror while slave plantation sex is going on?
* The back of the set is a gigantic mirror wall.
Hmmmm, I love how light my MacBook is. Now that Apple has gotten rid of it, I wonder if I should buy a refurb of a maxed out 2017 model. I have the first and I’ve read the performance got a lot better. 🤔
Kimchi Cuddles’ Kitty Alignment Matrix! //@hollyhoneychurch 🐈
Now any time I see a cat in a Marvel film, my immediate thought is: “I wonder if the kitty is actually an extremely dangerous, yet cute, tentacle alien?” //@hollyhoneychurch
