Remember that iPhone panorama photo of a woman trying on a wedding dress and the processing software placed her in three different poses across the mirrors?

Photographers got inspired and are now using that effect/trick for some clever pano photography, selfies, and art.

So this is what it feels like to check in on tech news when you're totally uninterested in a completely new #Apple product. 😄

🚨 Attn: #Women in the #fediverse and on #mastondon we need a hastag like #fedihelps for each other when the trolls descend so the squad shows up. Any ideas what it should be? 💅

Dusting off my Finer Things in Tech blog, I miss writing. This is just a tiny tip, though. Working on more. #Apple #ApplePages

Sure, trying to select and move a few objects in Pages should lock up my M1 Pro MBP so hard that the Force Quit menu can't even be triggered by keyboard shortcut. Why not. #Apple

Is there anything like a roundup or list of #iPad apps that can search handwriting? I want to try handwriting more but not if I can't search it. I wish this was a feature I could filter in the #AppStore.

Generative AI music firm says (reaffirms the obvious) quiet part out loud: These tools could not exist if they hadn’t stolen all the content used to create them.

We need to regulate the absolute crap out of these corporate thieves. #AI https://www.computerweekly.com/news/366567750/GenAI-tools-could-not-exist-if-firms-are-made-to-pay-copyright

An enlightening video series inspired by a non-profit that studies city design and finances:

“Once you start to learn about Strong Towns, you’ll start to understand why car-dependent suburbia can’t continue.

It’s not a matter of preference or how people want to live. These places simply cannot sustain themselves.

… American suburbs are literally a Ponzi scheme—a development pattern that constantly needs more growth, and often more debt, in order to remain solvent.”

Finally taking the time to set up Safari Profiles properly and bind certain websites like YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook to open in an ‘Undesirables' profile that I don't use for anything else. This feels like a better setup. #Apple #Safari #privacy

Screenshot of the settings for a specific website in Safari for Mac. The highlighted option showcases how you can bind a particular website/domain to always open in a particular Safari Profile for privacy and multiple account.

“The return-to-office demands also make little sense from an overall economic perspective at a time when a third of Americans who can do their job remotely now only work from home, up from only 7% before Covid, according to the Pew Research Center, yet the economy is very strong in terms of low unemployment and GDP growth. If working from home suppressed innovation, productivity and creativity, you would expect quite different economic results.” https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/22/opinions/remote-work-jobs-bergen/index.html

TIL there is a believable Groundhog Day fan theory that Bill Murray’s high school acquaintance, Ned Ryerson, is actually the devil, who thrusts Murray into the time loop because he refused the offer to buy life insurance. And Murray only escapes not because he finally betters himself or scores the romantic interest, but because he finally buys life insurance. https://www.reddit.com/r/FanTheories/s/ri9HM5xwD6

Our dog has learned that the #AppleTV ‘whoom’ sound of exiting an app means we might get up from the couch, so he thinks it’s playtime.
