🔗 Daring Fireball: How to Temporarily Disable Face ID or Touch ID, and Require a Passcode to Unlock Your iPhone or iPad

I know I shared this when @gruber wrote it way back - but sharing again - as he just did - and a reminder from moi .. its not a matter of if they come after you - it is when - best be prepared.

🔗 Bob’s writing about Music and Musicians, but what he described has applicability to any new business launching itself onto the world.

I saw🔗 this in Visual Capitalist today.

No mention of New Zealand where a lot of people complain about the country’s debt, so I thought I might explore - and found this in Macro Trends.

And sure - while we are higher than historical - it isn’t unprecedented - even in the past twenty years. 2003 and 2012 clearly standing out from the crowd. (I wonder what was happening around the globe at that time - rhetorical folks .. and that’s the point - whatever Kiwi leaders might like to think, they are in the gravitational pull of ‘RoW’. That said, the country is clearly doing a lotte better than average.

Who am I to disagree with Austin Kleon and in fact I still don’t .. but the conclusion to the article ends with a use case for why paper dictionaries .. which to this bear seems identical to the why online. What am I missing? 🔗 Source

Was I talking about stumbling across things? Don’t think so, but an example of just that from a few months ago. No words needed to explain the images. Just click through.

It occurred to me watching a Martin Scorcese documentary about the life of George Harrison, how much people in music seek out opportunities to create with other musicians. In technology, it doesn’t happen, we don’t even look at each other’s software.

Long said that I speak three languages; English, Music and Math(s) .. sounds like @andysylvester is on a 🔗 similar track.

One common observation. by Timothy and Lyndsey (I paraphrase)

Trump is an overweight, obnoxious nothing - it is the apparatus around him that is the problem.

At the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series. A daily long-form post about something that was rattling my brain that day. And then life. For a while, I was even just dropping markers - to revisit. I came to realise that part of the problem was the complexity of the structure for each post - so that went away. Simplicity really is rather nice. As I write on 240413, I am now going back and filling in the gaps. PLUS - unless something strikes me immediately, I will not classify until the end of the day and go back to move one of the posts of the day into the 366. Also - if you are wondering how I have update the words at the bottom of over 100 posts at a stroke, well - THANK YOU Andy Sylvester and his Glossary plugin.

There are spies. A bad organization called Manticore. A mole in the good guys organization. Who knows how it will all end? OK - not a real question. But entertaining enough.
