Anyone had a real world comparison of the Sonos Beam vs Sonos Arc soundbars? If I can get away with just the Arc soundbar that might be worth it if the Beam “needs” a couple of rear speakers?

Squarespace being bought will almost certainly mean the end of whatever amount of “free-ish” ride podcasters have had on there. “…all seamlessly interwoven with intuitive GenAI.” 🤮 https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/13/permira-is-taking-squarespace-private-in-6-6-billion-deal/

I just want to do a little podcast where we talk about neat things that we like and maybe get to rant a little every so often and have everyone on who wants to be kind and scheduling isn’t hard and enough people listen that it’s validating but not so many that it’s mentally exhausting.

Apple not including the stickers in the new iPad boxes is more upsetting than that commercial. https://9to5mac.com/2024/05/07/new-ipad-pro-ipad-air-apple-stickers/

Tech bloggers cheering on the US TikTok ban have no clue the level of connection and community that people of all ages have made on the app. Not just “the kids” by any means.

How Twitter was used as the town square by tech in the 2010’s, except TikTok is everybody.

I could listen to @mathowie chat web, blogging, Twitter, and more for an hour each week. If you dig that idea too, you should subscribe to @shoptalkshow for next week's chat @davatron5000 & @chriscoyier have with him: https://plnk.to/shoptalk

After 8+ months of bashing my head against a VS Code window, I somehow managed to move my blog over to Ghost.

Hopefully the DNS cache has propagated by the time you maybe click the link. 🙏 https://chrisenns.com/2024/04/how-i-moved-from-an-eleventy-static-site-to-ghost/

He responds like a human! 😆 And as proof, my account that I'm testing Ghost out with is still active. https://chris-enns-dot-com.ghost.io/ Thoughts on the layout / blog post styling? It's a theme that I haven't adjusted at all yet still messing around with all the things.

@mathowie Any post-honeymoon CMS thoughts on switching to Ghost? I've been hesitating on pulling the trigger after a decade of either WordPress or Jekyll style CMS. Ghost is looking like a great option from this side of the fence but curious how it is further down the road?

So tired of shovelling. Thanked the neighbor with the snowblower by giving him a couple 🍻. And the snow is still falling. 😴

I really hope the Ghost crew are crafting a “we’ll never sell your stuff to AI” message right now. https://ghost.org/

Not that I really wondered, but great to see that Micro.blog has no interest in owning or selling user data. https://www.manton.org/2024/02/27/ive-seen-a.html

“How to make faceless content on TikTok and generate thousands of dollars a month” is the new side hustle I’m seeing a bunch of. 🤢

Programming note: I’ve decided to wait on releasing my Vision Pro review until 5 years from now when I can justify paying for it.

Cloudflare and other corporations deserve every bit of shaming for over hiring and then letting people go without admitting to their own mistakes. https://www.vice.com/en/article/y3w4g7/cloudflare-firing-tiktok-remote-layoffs-corporate-accountability

The most I’ve ever laughed while using a computer is when Photo Booth first came out and we would pee our pants laughing at the stupid camera effects. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/photo-booth/pbhl9df7dfbb/13.1/mac/14.0

What’s actually absurd is that you can totally have this done right now, you just have to pay a human to do it. Man… that’s so frustrating! People are the worst!

Never underestimate the value of having a broken contact form on your website for getting more stuff done.

It could also be why you don’t have as many new clients contacting you.

Whenever I listen to an owner / CEO talk about their company’s culture, I always want a follow up survey with their employees to find out if they actually know what the reality is. Employees 2 or more steps removed from the owner have a very different idea or experience of culture.
