Def think this will be my permanent new home on social as far as text-first social is concerned. The API is too good.

I've used the Neo for a week. If there's one thing I miss above everything else, it's definitely backlit keys. Didn't think it would matter that much, but this is one thing that stands out as a glaring omission in actual day-to-day usage.

Does anyone here use both Bluesky & Mastodon? Or Bluesky & Threads? Trying to decide if using Mastodon is worth it or not, or if I should just set up shop permanently here.

iOS 18.3 RC 9to5mac.com/2025/01/21/i...

Lots of new goodies here, including a sneak peak at an upcoming iOS screen recording update that enables stereo mic, camera capture, and hdr screen capture.

Needless to say, I have a video in the works, but I needed to put it through some stress before I was able to draw sound conclusions. I edited a 1-hour-long video with tons of effects and stuff on the timeline. The machine performed admirably. Here's said timeline:

The M4 Mac mini base is probably the best Mac Apple has ever released from a value perspective. Just incredible to get such capabilities for $599. There's very little to complain about here for probably 90% of the average workflow. I ran into some memory bottlenecks, but my use case is an outlier.

60 Mac / macOS Sequoia Getting Started Tips! Do you know them all? YouTube video by 9to5Mac

I updated my Mac getting started tips guide for macOS Sequoia. I'm weird, but I absolutely love the feeling of configuring a clean install of macOS just to my liking. www.youtube.com/watch?v=atBi...

BlueSky in the sky.

This pop-up appeared when launching Final Cut Pro 11 on macOS. It’s probably like my 10th time launching the app if I had to guess, and this is the first time I’ve seen it. I’m not mad, or anything, but it was a bit jarring. Thought it was a Safari pop-up window for a second. Odd. 🤷‍♂️

Where’s the video tutorial 🤣

Custom domain time, Mark.

And setting up a custom domain was almost too easy.

Very true. That’s pretty much 50% of threads. Straight up bait. No thank you.

It’s also not so technical that regular people can’t get into it, ala Mastodon. Yet, borrows good features from Mastodon.

BlueSky is…dare I say…really good? I doubted it, but it really does feel like 2012-era twitter. Just the fact that you have nice YouTube embeds is great. How long can it last? I also like Threads…kinda, but it seems weird and a bit spammy. Too much heavy-handed algo. #bluesky

Great promo. Seems like the captions feature is laying potential groundwork for text-based-editing…? one can hope!
