Okay, Meta AI is not perfect. Now it keeps giving this error: "Sorry, I can’t help you with this request right now. Is there anything else I can help you with?" Like, literally, with every prompt. Funny thing is, it shows the answer, but then quickly removes the answer and shows the error message. #Meta #AI View quoted note →

Been needing a real zoom lens for a while now. Finally decided to get the Sony 200-600mm after a lot of thought. #camera #sony

Privacy has been under attack by governments for a long time, but it seems to be getting worse and worse. Privacy is not a crime! #privacy #Samourai #SamouraiWallet

Bitcoin Mixing Service Samourai Wallet Founders Arrested, Charged With Money Laundering

The US DOJ also seized Samourai's web servers and domain, and served a seizure warrant for Samourai’s mobile app on the Google Play Store.

This shit will initially be an optional update, but sooner or later it’s gonna be mandatory… Mark my words! Please, Apple, don’t do this to macOS!

Start menu ads are officially here with the latest Windows 11 optional update

The latest preview update for WIndows 11 is here, including Start menu "recommendations" and some updates to Widgets on the desktop and lock screen.

Just purchased my dream lens for my FX3. The Sony 200-600mm 📷 #sony #camera #fx3

Apparently, I need to enroll in the Apple Developer Program. It's about $115 😳 Can't use DriverKit because I'm not in the developer program yet... This is essential to develop my app Pretty Mixer. #swift #dev #apple

Finally got my Umbrel running again. Had some connection issues — not only with the Umbrel bot other devices as well. Tried switching LAN ports on my router and now somehow everything works 🤷‍♂️ Now my Bitcoin and Monero nodes can sync again.

I’ve been avoiding working on the actual fundamental feature of this app: being able to capture audio streams from all running apps, process the audio streams, then output the audio as a single output by using a virtual audio driver. The reason why I’ve been avoiding working on this is because it’s the hardest part of building this application. I’m looking at how other apps are doing it, like SoundFlower, BlackHole, and EqMac. Seems very complicated, at least for someone inexperienced like me. #dev #swift View quoted note →

Bought another Apple HomePod and some Philips Hue stuff. Still waiting for the Hue light bulbs to arrive. My idea is to buy an LG C3 42" to use as a monitor for my Mac and then have a HomePod on each side of the monitor/TV. Something I'm a bit worried about is text clarity. I currently own an Alienware ultrawide 1440p, but text clarity is too bad, so I never use it for coding. From the YouTube videos I've watched, it seems like text clarity is quite good on the LG.

Testing Highlighter...

I find it strange that you can’t swipe up on the #Damus app to refresh the timeline and profile page like you can on any other social media platform.

Cancelled my X (Twitter) subscription and now subscribing to #Damus Purple. Hope #Primal will introduce something similar.

Done some more progress on my Mac application. Now, the state of the SwiftUI sliders is successfully saved. Which means, even when quitting the app (CMD + Q), and reopening the app, it will remember where all the sliders were positioned. This means, the sliders no longer reset after switching view or quitting the app. This is currently only working for the app-specific sliders, not the master volume — that is the next thing I will work on. For anyone interested, I ended up using UserDefaults (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/userdefaults). #swift #swiftui #mac #apple #dev View quoted note →
