  💵🤖🫧🪦 Listening to Better Offline (Monologue: The Pale Horsemen Arrive): https://omny.fm/shows/better-offline/monologue-the-pale-horsemen-arrive In this week's Better Offline monologue, Ed Zitron runs through how 70% of Microsoft, Google and Amazon’s AI revenues are from Anthropic and OpenAI, with 7% of Microsoft’s FY26 revenue coming from OpenAI alone, and how this is cast-iron proof that demand for AI doesn’t exist at a scale that warrants any of the trillion dollars in capex they’ve spen...

  @atpfm@mastodon.social Final Cut Pro does auto save on the Mac. You have to choose the name for the project when you first add it to a “library” in the app. I don’t know how long this has been the case. I’ve only been using it for real work for about 5 years.

  @noheger@wien.rocks @siracusa@mastodon.social I’m wondering if my MacBook Air M4 could be downgraded to macOS 15 Sequoia. I can’t remember if it shipped with macOS 26. I don’t think so. My Mastodon archive will probably tell me…

  Bloody god botherer advertising signs inside the 6a metro bus. If they really followed their New Testament god, they’d spend the money on food banks and other ways to help people in the here and now. Cunts.

  Getting to Forestside from Dundonald via bus was easy. And free for me. I’m not sure the forthcoming G3 route that will pass Forestside will make it any easier or much faster. Public transport FTW! #Belfast

  I’m going to see if I can replicate the writing setup I have in Scrivener in iA Writer. I only use a tiny subset of Scrivener's features these days. Mainly separate docs for different sections of an article. Then Export as a Word file via Compile in Scrivener to stitch the sections into a finished document. iA Writer folders in iCloud should be able to replicate that. And make it simpler to move between Mac, iPad, and iPhone for adding to a writing project.

  The CSNI overseas professional, Indian Ashwin Hebbar, scored 207 not out today at Stormont. He hit 15 sixes and 12 fours in that total. CSNI scored 404 for 2. Strabane scored 156 all out. Yikes!

  I’m going to this cricket at Stormont tomorrow. It’s made up teams, but it’ll be good to see the Irish international players compete against each other. #Cricket https://cricketireland.ie/news/all-you-need-to-know-2/

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@ianRobinson/116546883240216740 This song started playing in my head this afternoon when I was listening to the new music I’d captured. A new song started with a few piano notes that sounded very like Without You. Instant ear worm. The new song didn’t make the cut.

  Wow! James Webb telescope makes 'JuMBO' discovery of planet-like objects in Orion Jupiter-sized "planets" free-floating in space, unconnected to any star, have been spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). What's intriguing about the discovery is that these objects appear to be moving in pairs. Astronomers are currently struggling to explain them. The telescope observed about 40 pairs in a fabulously detailed new survey of the famous Orion Neb...

  You can spend £349 on an Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 13 to turn an existing iPad Pro into a barely usable mobile writing solution. Or, you can spend £599 on a MacBook Neo and get a very capable mobile writing solution.

  Developers will be required to install solar panels and heat pumps in all new homes in England as part of updated planning requirements published by the government. It also said plug-in panels that homeowners can self-install on balconies would be available in supermarkets in the coming months. Progress? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czjw7klkjm2o

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@ianRobinson/116516556384579973 Has anyone used Uber in Belfast? I don’t think they operated here. But apparently they do. This is not discussed in this podcast. I looked it up while listening.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@atpfm/116495709925524916 Good to hear some sanity about the Mythos marketing hype at the start of the latest @atpfm I ghostwrote an article on the topic a few days ago. With largely the same message that @siracusa makes. 👍🏻
