FYI @vincent @manton the scrolling issue still persists in 3.0.3. I think it has something to do with dashes

However closing and reopening the post sheet fixed it. Also to note that with scrolling working typing that close to the options bar and over the character count is quite jarring.

Can’t do more in the garden. Break needed. Trying to get it all organised for the holidays. But it’s proving to be a lot of digging up roots of brambles that are not useful in their current locations.

Ok just arrived back that Apple vision Pro looks terrible

2023-06-05


yeah I know what I wanted… the same UI as my laptop but with a massive headset instead showing me the same UI but just floating around me… erm nope you are kidding

2023-06-05


ok these people showing us the Apple vision pro are totally in the reality distortion field

2023-06-05


Quit WWDC I can’t be bothered it’s a joke product and useless innovation. Make an app that uses vision pro to show the amount of co2 and climate collapse that will happen in front of you where you are

2023-06-05


Maybe I’ll try and write a blog about AR/ VR at some point and why Apple Vision pro is alias terrible. I’ve been playing with a thinking with virtual worlds and discussed these with many people over decades this is hype junk. But hey I don’t work in the valley so what do I know…

Setting aside all the issues of techtopia and the hey but we make these things green… Apple should have realised that Bret Victor could have unlocked the potential of a spatial UI but hey… never mind

Well I think I am going to start utilising this as my new photo of me… need to edit to a square for profiles and see if readable.. Photo of me at GDC 2023 in a workshop taken for the official GDC Flickr stream

Tim Cook and his fellow Apple executives clearly asked themselves whether they could create a headset as their latest hardware product, but don’t seem to have spent as much time considering whether they should.

2023-06-07


For all of Apple’s concern about not making a product that’s perceived as cutting you off from the world, don’t most of the use cases for this product seem lonely and solitary, and not appropriate for anyone with a partner or family at home?

Done new profile photo is now starting to propergate the systems.

I’ve tried them and it’s like magic

The Vision Pro is “spatial computing”, insofar as windows are arranged in space around you. But it diverges from the classic visions along these lines (e.g. Mark Weiser’s ubiquitous computing, Dynamicland) in that the computation lives in windows. What if programs live in places, live in physical objects in your space?

  • @vincent there is also a scrolling issue in editing posts? I am sure you are aware and not hassling just filing

iOS automatically update apps ☑️
Phone on charger every night ☑️
Opens App Store 41 apps to update ❎

2023-06-08


For those of you wondering about the innovation of spatial hypertext / infinite canvas after hearing these words at Apple Park… FYI infinitecanvas.tools

a literally “infinite” canvas may never exist

Also had my own list on notion aswell

iOS increase font size per app .. Yes!! ... who KNEW!

Since iOS15 apparently you can increase the font size within individual apps, which seems rather useful, most apps now, even with my reading glasses on iOS16 with dynamic type up to 135% are too small for me now.

But even on my phone with dynamic text up to max across the phone, some apps still have way too small fonts in parts of their interface. However, adjusting further in accessibility settings makes everything too big for me. Unknown until now, there is, in fact, a setting per app that has allowed me to finally get, for example, outlook writing email font at a size that is no longer insanely small… here is how for any app.

  • Settings
  • Control Centre
    (make sure access within apps is on – should be)
  • Add Text Size to the included controls section
  • Open up an app, that likes tiny fonts
  • swipe down from top right to access control centre
  • tap the aA icon
  • tap the App name only icon

And bang, you can go slide the font’s size up further. See attached images, that’s 135% + 120% in Outlook only – happy days!

Hahaha clearly the BBC trying to not be alarmist or accused of being lefty woke by having weather presenter constantly saying not “exceptional” when it’s clear days of 27-30c temps are not the norm…

Tell my 13 year old self this would be work for him 30+ years later - so running that games week at school (mainly sensible soccer comps) was worth it…
