Today’s adventure: 5 pitches of über-classic Gunks routes with a dear friend. A crisp, late fall day with gorgeus views but surprisingly few folks at the cliff to share them with. Few things can quiet my mind while simultaneously requiring intense focus and intricate movement like climbing.🧗
Nilay is onto something here.
Said another way, a wearable product has to be way more useful for you to tolerate it being on your face. But I’d also posit that the threshold of necessary usefulness goes down the more inconspicuous the gadget is compared to “normal”, non-smart accessories.
An apt analogy from The Dirtbag Diaries describing how outward peace and balance often mask inner turmoil and a sense of being pulled in all directions.
A thought I’ve had more than once lately: If I had to replace my iPad Pro (which I use mostly as a laptop in the Magic Keyboard case), would I replace it with another iPad or with a MacBook Air instead? The power of macOS in that superlight design sure is appealing.
Woohoo! 🇺🇸 I’m heartened that voters are getting out and clawing back their rights. overcast.fm/+eaddsIsl…

Old ideas have a way of coming back, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Touch Bar come back in some new form down the road, and I hope that if it does it will take lessons from the Stream Deck.
@matt@isfeeling.social said everything I wanted to about the Touch Bar in this post. I like how we’re all converging on this idea that Touch Bar plus the Function Row could have been great.
The moment when Nilay recognizes his next hard-hitting, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalism topic: The injustice of shipping computers that require a wired keyboard for setup, but don’t include them in the box, in 2023. overcast.fm/+QN1pA_VZ…
Aw hell yeah! Can’t wait!
In addition to playing videos in-app, the macOS app will also get the ability to play in a new separate window.
Play 2.0 is going to be great!
Over a million children in schools where guns have been confiscated? Good god, that’s terrifying. They’ve gotta go.
Yes, thank you @manton! I much prefer when your RSS feed always points back to your own domain. Make the external link to whatever you’re highlighting obvious, but I subscribed to you. I want to be taken to your site first. It’s more clear, and clear is better.
You might have thought that @burk was joking. He wasn’t joking. 🤣 https://overcast.fm/+hdKPtaH1s/35:36
You know, I heard on @upgrade@relayfm.social that the Podcastathon thing was pretty fun, but also good and tough. 😂
Holy shit, really getting my money’s worth out of this bonus episode of @HemisphericViews. I don’t think I’ve laughed this hard in months! oneprimeplus.com
🧗 Led up this gem today with Gerry! The Disputed (5.8) is the hardest trad lead I’ve done since injuring my finger and, not gonna lie, I’m pretty proud of working through this onsight! (And I was treated to another beautiful sunset on the ride home. Autumn is just the best.) 📷
😲 It’s me! I’m Barrod J on @HemisphericViews! 👋 🎙️
Loving the love for the iPhone 13 mini on @HemisphericViews. It’s the best one. 🧡📱🎙️
📷🧗 Got over to Cloudspin Cliff with Matt Oaks and @saw_dust_ery last night. Cool cliff with awesome views of Whiteface. Led up Sundays are for Friends (5.8) not clean, but felt good to test a piece again. Then top roped CCR (5.10a) after Oakcy put up the rope in the dark. Incredible climb. Can’t wait to get back there.
There’s something to @danielpunkass@mastodon.social’s framing here on @coreint. Maybe Musk did those of us who used to like Twitter a favor here… 🎙️ overcast.fm/+KxFFPJjw…
Wow, I hadn’t even considered real-time ad generation for each individual internet surfer before. The internet ad network is about to get even more weird and creepy. dithering.fm 🎙️
🎙️ It’s shit like this that makes @connected@relayfm.social the most consistently great (ostensibly tech?) podcast on the web. The japes are unreal. 🤣 Keep it up, boys. 🙌 www.relay.fm/connected…
11% increase in Texas’s infant mortality rate from 2021 to 2022. 😳 11 percent. The wild thing is that I’m sure many Texans are perversely proud of that number. To those who are not, I am so sorry about them and for you. 😔 (Podcast link)
Between climate change-accelerating emissions, animal cruelty, deforestation, and water shortage, the reasons are stacking up for getting on board with lab grown (real) meat. Sign me up. overcast.fm/+eadfwR4d…
The @upgrade@relayfm.social boys are bringing the grins this morning. 😂 🧩 ⏯️
Ooh La La! This will be extra helpful in apps like Reader and Matter where I like to listen to articles but they can’t parse paywall items. Their Safari web view is logged in, though, so I’ll just bring up Safari Reader and listen to it that way instead. Thanks @viticci@mastodon.macstories.net! ⏯️
