Dus een belangrijk moment om te kiezen (komt er aan).

Ga ik overstappen en hoe complex is dat dan? Hoe zorg ik er dan bijvoorbeeld voor dat al die notities in een andere app komen en alsnog met m’n Mac gesynct worden?

Hoe krijg ik alle contactpersonen uit m’n Iphone in die Fairphone met e/OS zonder gek te worden (ik ben herstellende van post-covid)?

Zijn er hier mensen die de stap hebben gezet van IPhone naar e/OS?

Ik werk al meer dan tien jaar op Mac en IPhone en alles is er op ingericht (privé, maar zeker ook m’n eigen bedrijf).

Notities die met elkaar syncen (als schrijver heel belangrijk), en alles zo gebackupt dat het met één klik op een ander apparaat kan worden opgestart).

Maar ik wil graag los van de grote Amerikaanse bedrijven en mijn zes jaar oude Iphone begint een beetje gammel te worden.

Like, I was getting kind of tired of most of the music mixes containing the same 100 tracks in a genre, but "every mix is 'new' AI slop that is different yet somehow the same as everything else" is actually *worse*

Add "music on Youtube" to the list of "shit ruined by AI", I guess

Apple’s App Store has become an embarrassment. It’s nearly impossible to find apps that do not expect you to subscribe even to use the “free” features: three day free trial and then you are subscribed. What do these apps do? Convert videos to GIFs. We’re not talking about the labor and creativity of a master programmer here. Pure exploitation.

Today's progress in Project Workshop Density: installed some overhead storage hooks for long things, so that they finally aren't in my way anymore; and installed an auto-retracting hose spool for my compressed air onto the ceiling.

Also worked on the plant tables a bit; cut and added all the ledges that the 'floor' planks will rest on. Assuming it's sufficiently dry tomorrow, I might assemble and install them outside tomorrow! Can't do that in the garage, because once fully assembled they won't fit through a doorway anymore.

today on cursed electronics: a firewire car charger.

looks really complex, right? it has a serial number and all, and i bet this was expensive back in 2000.

...it's two 1n4001 diodes (just for safety) and an led + resistor. firewire is 12v. so are cars.

#spoonieTown has a red light district, but it's mostly people basking under infrared lamps.

The WAPBackMachine works! There are lots of WAP sites in the waybackmachine. It seems that the WBM crawler actually followed links on WAP sites, despite them not being HTML, which means that there is a lot to find if you know where to look!

Today's workshop improvements! Reused an empty 3D printing filament spool as a spool for the long extension card in the garage, installed some hooks to hang my (non-electric) scooter on (finally, it's no longer in my way!), and finally added some nonslip tape to a working surface so that I can safely put stationary tools on it without them moving around and without having to bolt them down permanently.

I've snapped some crappy (because lack of daylight) pictures of the in-progress woodworking project! As well as the little spacer tool I made to ensure the planks are at the correct distance from each other, and will match up at the ends.

I now have four of these 'half tables', that will then be transported outside and combined per two into a whole table, adding the two missing legs. That's why the spacing is important - it needs to match between all of them, or the point where they get joined won't line up!

Basically I'm trying to fit everything efficiently in what one might call a one-car garage if one were generous. Efficiently enough that there's actually enough space to work on projects. While also storing gardening tools and a bunch of miscellaneous stuff in there.

Saw this bumper sticker. If every human being obliged this sentiment, the world would level up to infinity.
