BIG NEWS, I made my first book! Together with my writing partner Thijs Tomassen, I documented Dutch festival- and club culture during its epic display of resilience during pandemic times. Read more about it in the latest newsletter: mitchellens.ink/dialogue/i-mad…

@kepano @obsdmd First web clipper I actually use because this one comes with a logical place to save clippings to and allows me to actually reference them later, instead of throwing them in a void I'll never revisit again.

I thought Obsidian Web Clipper would be a fun and useful tool but didn't expect it to reach 100,000 users in three months 🥰

@kepano I prefer it if you don't do option 1. Option 3 can be to hiring more human reviewers. I think your community plug-in store fails or succeeds by the quality of the plugins inside. They don't have to be continuously updated but the coding and reliability needs to be sound.

there's been a sharp acceleration in Obsidian community plugin submissions, in part due to the rise of AI coding tools it's a "good problem to have" but it's overwhelming our review process — our human reviewers can't keep up what should we do? 1. lower the bar for plugin review, introduce more community heuristics 2. invest in AI code-review tools to try and automate the process (not easy) 3. ?

@tedmeth Gewoon volhouden bro komt goed

Begonnen met mijn mannelijke collega’s “bro” te noemen. Tot nu toe met wisselend succes.

Adobe needs to bring Lightroom CC up to feature parity with Lightroom Classic and bring it to the iPad so I have a reason to buy an iPad.

@eddiesigner @Ghost I really love your Galerie theme and I'm still very happy with it but I might just switch to this one. 😮‍💨

I'm thrilled to announce that my latest @Ghost theme, Bold, is now available in the theme marketplace! 🎉 👻 You can visit the live demo and purchase it here: ghost.org/themes/bold/ #ghost #theme #template #blog #portfolio

The open rate of my last newsletter was rather low (36% compared to the usual 70-ish) and I think that might be due to switching email-servers recently. If you are subscribed, can you please check your spam folders and move the email to your inbox please? ✌️

@gj_frames No Voigtlander make MF lenses for the X-mount only! Which is perfect and a reason to buy one, in my eyes!

@mitchellensink Nice! To bad it's not an 18mm f2 ultron. But you can't get everything. Is it AF as well? My Japanese is kind of bad :D

Oh my god they've FREAKING DONE IT! It's f2.8 instead of 2.0 though, but I think I might still cop. 😮‍💨 youtu.be/0WVkzyCH1_4?si…

@MrJamesMay Since this got cut from the Amazon release, can this be a YouTube series of some sorts? This stuff is better than 90% of what's on there anyway.

Since some of you* have complained that there are no elephants in my India series, here are some elephants. *One person, anyway.

Things I've also seen today.

@theapplehub Not with that screen's corner radius they shouldn't

Should Apple add a touchscreen to the AirPods case?

@Gosserd Is goed

@petapixel Inflation got them there

Adobe has posted revenue of more than $5 billion in a single quarter for the first time in the company's history. petapixel.com/2023/12/13/ado…

@forrestfire @Smogranch I think that's a reasonable number with your audience but perhaps you can do some sort of poll and extrapolate the results for some extra affirmation? (Obvs. keeping in mind that people promising to buy things ≠ buyers)

@forrestfire I think @Smogranch mentioned in a couple of videos he would make a very limited run of the expensive book and then make the cheaper book as affordable as possible and way less limited. That way you can make your ultimate version but everybody is also able to purchase your work.

J Cole said a real grown up thing and Soulja Boy didn't have the emotional intelligence required to understand what Cole said and reacted from misplaced emotion.

@markgurman But is it disingenuous though?

New Weather widget in iOS 17.2 is much denser.

@brianwhite1990 Keeping my eyes peeled then! 👀🍌
