Funny, I literally today just introduced a bunch of students to Experience Design and I made a similar point to this. “Immersed audience” is a flag that someone somewhere probably didn’t know what the fuck to communicate.

Welcome to 1950, America. 2 genders... The most backwards country in the 21st century.
Playing Path of Exile 2 with three friends and we are having such a good time! Only a few hours in, but if it continues like this (and doesn’t suddenly go sideways like Diablo midway through main story), this might move far up my fav games list. Perfect boss battles, visuals, ambience and music!
Someone who understands SwiftUI, please help me why this works (centers max width):
Section{…}.frame(maxWidth: 500)
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .center)
But this doesn’t work (left aligns max width):
Section{…}.frame(maxWidth: 500, alignment: .center)
If Apple Notes had automatic backlinks between notes, I think I would fully adopt it. You wouldn’t even need the Forever ✱ Notes system. But without backlinks, a Zettlecast-like workflow is unrealistic.
Bonus if Apple also make nested Smart Folders (nested filtering would effectively outdo “Home”)
Which newsletter service do you recommend for someone who has his own blog w. RSS? I have no existing list. Priority for a simple 1-purpose service.
I’ve found buttondown, newsletter.page, MailerLite, Kit. Any of these you recommend? Or something different?
(self hosting seems too tricky. Or not?)
Came up with an idea for a helpful iOS web dev tool this morning 🤞Almost ready to release it on the App Store now 🥳
It’s a small app that can block triggering your own analytics when you navigate your own website with Safari’s “Privacy Relay” turned on (which keep changing your IP address).
I think replacing Google with Kagi was one of the best decisions I made last year. If you lack a New Year’s resolution, I can totally recommend this! It’s been a very positive change.
I published an article about why.

It feels like the AI is aging when it unprovoked tries to be funny 🫥My Claude instance is climbing rapidly towards “grandpa” level. 🥲
(You’ll have to take my word that I didn’t use instructions or a project. This was pure Claude 😅) https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/a6e22fe60dfb556f0fc986617660ef5352bcd317994963c69ae4b27a298aaee2/55fab50f2391687c5f783cc8029300b48a00669f8c703a3ea79d64ac740df193.webp

I wrote a blog post about the news that OpenAI are expanding their product into autonomous war machines and military.

A hought on train vs plane: If I can, I take the train both ways, but I also think train just one way should be considerated to lower imprint. For short visits, if I had to prioritise (and zoom wasn’t an option) then 20hr train to destination and 3hr plane home is definitely the best headspace wise.
Did you really president if you didn’t overturn government least once?
I published a blog entry with my reflections on working in the Creative Technology field. It’s an interview I did with Danish public service some time ago. Fun (for me) reading it now in hindsight
Just got in a bus in Copenhagen ☺️will be in Paris at 8am in 20hrs. Timing is perfect: I can play with my OP-XY for a few hours, we’ve packed sandwiches for lunch and dinner and then go to bed and wake up in Paris. The money we save on cheap tickets (and the hotel night) goes to food and wine https://nostrcheck.me/media/a6e22fe60dfb556f0fc986617660ef5352bcd317994963c69ae4b27a298aaee2/7415513209219a50830d9b26256f76bea6f563d60daf3a24008cc1a1071fac4f.webp
Incredibly cool on-device Whisper implementation for Swift that can do realtime audio to text inference. Was just looking and hoping to find something like this for an idea I want to prototype.
