This is an interesting service over the decentralised web to share your creation with the public. Thank you @davidimel.com for the recommendation. I will also create my @surf.social account to share my DSLR travel photography with people. I was looking for ways to divest from instagram.

Aren't podcasts essentially the new 'press release' for companies like Google? It feels like every major product launch also includes podcasts as part of their campaign.

@nature.com I heard the song "Hard the Hydrogel is Stuck" on this year's Nature Podcast festive spectacular 2025. I was wondering if I can find it on Apple Music so that I can add it to my Christmas playlist?

Since my last comment I have observed that Apple Music's recommendation for new music has significantly improved. They’ve introduced me to so many amazing songs that I love!

I Found My Email Address on the Dark Web. Here’s How I Figured Out Who Leaked It I loved email. It was the perfect kinda-personal-but-boundary-affirming way to keep in touch. However, over time, I, like many people, entrusted my email address to companies that gave away, sold, or lost my personal information in data breaches, which led to criminals posting my email address (and millions more) on the dark web.

WWDC 2025: Apple Is Years Behind Google and Microsoft in AI. How Much Does It Matter? At Apple's 2024 Worldwide Developer Conference, I sat in the baking sun outside the company's glass spaceship-like headquarters in Cupertino while Craig Federighi described the marvelous capabilities of Apple Intelligence. He promised that your iPhone would be able to synthesize your interactions with public data to deliver practical answers to questions like “What time should I leave to pick up Julian?” Your phone would know that Julian is your nephew who is visiting you in Albuquerque on the 6:10 Delta flight, and how the current traffic affects when you should depart for the airport. These examples excited the crowd.

Istg Apple Music’s recommendation engine can’t touch Spotify’s (at least in my experience), but AM’s clean interface and complete focus on music makes it my perfect streaming app!

Edit: 4.5 hrs

But how much could one accomplish in 4.5 yrs. It is especially difficult when you are working in a research lab. I feel better to have weekends when you can completely relax abd rejuvenate for the next week.

In killing grants, NSF appears to follow Ted Cruz’s blueprint Senator’s report targeted up to $2 billion for diversity, climate change, and misinformation research

Really scary stuff. the US NSF is following the lead of Ted Cruz cancelling "questionable projects that pushed onto science neo-Marxist perspectives about enduring class struggle". I've worked with NSF for 32 years. Something is wrong. This is not what they do.🧪

My thoughts on the “pharmaceutical tariffs” issue, and an explanation of just what a morass it is.

How do I explain the publication gap I ended up with after a hostile manager? A poor working relationship with a supervisor or manager can result in lost opportunities, creating an unexplained gap in an early-career researcher’s publication record.
