Listening to the album "Bytes" by Black Dog Productions for the first time. Can definitely see why it's famous – sounds very ahead of its time for 1993! https://warprecords.bandcamp.com/album/bytes

It seems like watchOS 10 removed the ability to pin arbitrary apps for quick access unless they have been updated specifically to work with the new “smart stack”, and the only recourse is “recently used”? Am I missing something?

My number one computing pet peeve is sessions and/or passwords that expire just slightly more frequently than the interval at which I try to use them. It's like catching a red light over and over again.

TIL about zram in Linux: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zram Enabling it appears to have tamed aggressive swapping on my (8 GB RAM) Raspberry Pi even though I typically only utilize ~2 GB RAM.

Summer nights don’t sound quite right to me without the buzzing of katydids, but there are only crickets where I live. Going to miss hearing them either way now that summer is ending.

Had a Raspberry Pi 3B+ sitting unused in a box, so decided to integrate it into a Monome Norns Shield. Just got it up and running and starting to poke around. Anyone have any recommendations for must-try scripts (optionally including MIDI)?

There’s nothing quite like driving into a summer sunset with the windows down and music playing. Fleeting moments I wish I could make last longer.

Did you know that nearly all tracks in the Super Mario World soundtrack are variations on one single melody? Yet another example of Kōji Kondō's genius: https://retro.sx/music/122

All of Apple's Vision Pro marketing conveniently doesn't show what the wearer looks like to other people in FaceTime calls or while you're recording 3D video of precious family moments or whatever. The ultimate realization of the awkward camcorder-wielding parent? #WWDC

Interesting that Apple is sticking to referring to "machine learning" in their marketing language instead of jumping on the currently-more-trendy catch-all "AI". #WWDC
