In 2008, I used my Amazon Kindle for travel information.
@adamgreenfield I'm hoping for an actively stabilised one. Ideally using surplus from a submarine navigation system or something.
@jonty Fire the nuclear weapons!

@viticci in Rome? That’s crazy
Are we plugging our phone physically with a wire into our computers and moving files between them?
@danirabbit Linux phone, and I typically transfer files over SSH. But that's an edge case I suspect.

Monthly report for July is out!
https://www.davidrevoy.com/article1167/monthly-production-report-for-july-2026
I'm sharing making-of and behind-the-scenes stories, unpublished visuals, and news about all my background projects. I also share (as usual, without paywall) high-resolution images, timelapses, brushes, layered files, tutorials, hardware reviews and more on my websites.
Thank you for all the comments and your amazing support! Let me know if there's an aspect of my work you'd like to see in my next month's report.

@catsalad So all we have to do is mandate firemarks?
If Mitch McConnell is dead then how did he just put out a new statement advocating that we label the Ghostbusters as a terrorist organization? Checkmate, conspiracy theorists.
Alternatively, is transferring files manually between a phone and a computer something we do?
For clarity I’m talking about manually moving files from your own phone to your own computer, not including any field that get synced automatically
EFF’s Matthew Guariglia joined WHYY NPR Philadelphia's Studio 2 to discuss Flock Safety’s ALPRs and the “reforms” they announced last week. “A lot of these reforms are much too little, too late... It is warrantless mass surveillance writ large across the country.” https://whyy.org/episodes/the-surveillance-state-got-creepier/
@eff It IS a mass surveillance tool, that is already being misused by your fascist regime.

Using #AI makes people less likely to admit they don't know something
Researchers found #confidence increased even as accuracy fell
Academics from French and Italian universities have found that access to AI advice suppresses #critica thinking, making people more likely to confidently parrot incorrect information that the bot provided.

It's been a tough few years for MacStories.
An explanation of why we resumed posting on X, and what comes next:
@viticci If you really think that returning to X does not change your values, than your values were not as great as you believe they were.
You did your contributors really dirty. They were the ones that led me to buy a club membership. But now it is cancelled as quickly as well.

Sooo I'm writing a copy to clipboard feature for demo.ayagami.dev, and I couldn't get the alpha to work properly.
I was pasting into GIMP and Inkscape.
Turns out pasting images is broken in GIMP and Inkscape on macOS.
Since 2021 🤦♀️

Conservative president Ronald Reagan famously said “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help.”
Mamdani is making those nine words terrifying in a new way for conservatives. If he keeps succeeding more people might stop laughing along with Reagan's unpatriotic "America Can't" cynicism and we might all start to imagine that government *can* be effective, fair and trustworthy. For and by The People.
Shake in your boots, Ronnie.
@danirabbit very rarely have to transfer files. Like what?
@noodlemaz yeah only 4 poll options. Maybe should’ve done separate iPhone and android polls
