RE: https://mastodon.macstories.net/@viticci/115974352559725099 A huge congratulations to the MacStories crew! They mentioned they were working on this back at WWDC. I can’t even begin to imagine how much time they put into this, but I do know how much care they put into the site, and it’s a […]

RE: https://techhub.social/@jonathanreed/115962459256416929 I have no words. Maybe don’t go to the fascist movie premiere. If you need a good excuse, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve lied about baby sitting my niece to get out of things. Or you could simply just say fuck no. Those are just […]

I have severe Iritis today, and I’m very sensitive to any light. I just want to say thank you to every developer that has implemented a proper dark mode on their website and app. Light mode/white backgrounds have caused me a lot of physical pain today.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@agiletortoise/115896095168580833 Greg has a great point here that I totally forgot existed. Adobe does offer free creative suite to students of certain programs. It’s not just restricted to college students either, I know my old high school film program offers this […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@stroughtonsmith/115892974147942913 I can’t overstate how huge $2.99 a month is for students. In high school/college I did film programs. All I wanted to do was make movies. But you know what the one thing high school/college students don’t have is a ton of money, so […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@matt_birchler/115884931138405935 Matt beat Final Cut. 🙃

My first proper cinema camera. The test I’ve done with it looks amazing. I’m going to be leveling up the channel in 2026.

So I got a 3D printer for Christmas, and I haven’t had this much fun with a piece of hardware in a long time. I have a long list of things I want to make. Gridfinity for my gear closet being at the top of the list. I’m in need of heaven right now.

I just asked Siri to resume the living room TV, instead it turned off the lights. Great job, kids. It’s just another good reminder of why I got rid of all my HomePods.

Busted. 🤣 https://nileane.fr/@nileane/115663981679716273

I have a very close family member who is a fighter pilot, and this is pretty cool to see. Only critique: it could have used some Kenny Loggins, but THAT song they did use KICKED. Definitely worth getting strapped into the Vision Pro for […]
