 @2ed6ec8f I bet you're talking about Orion, the new app from the makers of Halide. Haven’t linked to it from DF yet though!

 @c5f2de79 They're pretty good, and nicely opinionated. My son has mine at college -- he likes it more than I do. (My problem with keyboards is that I never ever find one that I like better than my Apple Extended Keyboard II so I probably ought to quit trying.) 
 nostr:npub1eeetax7xxyr7mem486lqayj4av7czytttp9swjwn6yry6sn790lqrve209 thank you. Much appreciated... 
 @38389127 It’s the best weather of the year in the fall.

 @bda6fb55 @e8bc0a28 Patina! I have a baseball glove that’s older than I am and it looks great. 
 @3d174fcc @cbccdfde That’s a lot closer to the truth than the claim that I enjoy Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey. 
 @e4cab843 Is it though? He’s comparing only against full-frame cameras.

 @38389127 Depends where you are. If you’re on the west side of Center City, I like Cleaver’s. Solid steak, good rolls.

Down by Old City, there are two great options on the same block: Sonny’s and Campo’s. I love both, and they’re a little different.

Way south in South Philly: Tony Luke’s. (I haven’t been there in years though.)

 @6875ae5b I have the GR-IIIx, and still love it. I own a Fuji  X100S, too, and I much prefer the Ricoh for portability.

 @3ff8b22a Terrible. Makes no sense to me why they’re forcing teams to fly so far.

 @eecc0cea The folks commenting here seem to mildly disagree with me, but clearly, out in the real world, only a few people are wearing masks. It's over.

 @6bfa694d I wear mine on my left wrist in the standard orientation. Never tempted to switch. 
 Does anything in the Apple multiverse sync less reliably than Shortcuts? It just botched all of my folders and organization for the umpteenth time. I can’t even imagine how infuriating this must be for people who are more serious Shortcuts users than me. 
 how come i can follow a baseball game with a live activity but not a football game? 
 @1f03245b My friend, run, don’t walk, to get Sports Alerts. They’ve had good Live Activity support since last year. Great football support.

 @ca42f35f I don’t know. The 15 cases definitely don’t fit, but I don’t know if Apple will make FineWovens for the older iPhones. I suspect not.

 @54bdfd68 Discoubt retailers like Marshalls and TJ Maxx. 
 I popped into my local Apple Store today. Turns out Apple no longer sells leather anything in their stores. No more leather cases for iPhone 14 and earlier, no more leather watch straps.

They still sell the remaining stock of MagSafe Battery Packs and Duo Folding Chargers, but they yanked the leather stuff from the shelves.

 @55def789 I’m thinking shorts posts like “Lots of applause from media  attendees for the USB-C announcement.” 
 One thing I forget, attending post-2020 Apple keynote events in person, is that everyone watching at home (or watching after the fact) has no idea what garnered applause and what did not. The USB-C announcement got raucous applause from the media section. 
 Makes me think I should live-tweet applause / reactions here in the future.

 @6b83fddf That’s a possibility too, but they might want to still sell them to Mini owners (who need them!)

 @d4d289c2 Depends whether Apple still wants to sell them to Mini owners (who need them!). Also, I find that size comfortable on larger iPhones.

 @8a18b591 I advise a rinse and dump from a chilled glass. 
 I wish to hell I’d come up with this analogy. (Except color is good and vermouth is not.)

 @c9facfdf No, no insight. For all I know Apple was planning to make them for just 2 years all along. I don't know. (Will try to find out though.)

 @86c85854 My thoughts exactly. Apple's leather cases were nice because of the buttons, but the actual leather quality wasn't that great. 
 If you subscribe via Feedbin, you’re probably not getting nicely rendered equations not matter ... 
 @41e5ebae I was going to paste a screenshot but I see now that the problem is Feedbin. (I was worried that one of us was losing our minds if what I was seeing in NNW was what made you happy.)

Any idea why Feedbin is doing this? Seems like Feedbin should leave article content alone.

 @9c59d669 I just figured this out too. All you need is to be charging and horizontal.

 @eaf00bd9 Definitely. I think it's very likely for their high-end shows.

 @c0472ceb That said, I checked in Garner's Modern English Usage and he declares it a needless variant, so I've changed it to “conspiratorial”. Thanks for the nudge.

 Always a question when publishing a screenplay as a book: typeset with Courier, per the actual working drafts used in the industry, or with a proper text face like a novel? Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” is set in Sabon (my favorite text typeface):

 @779bdf7d Great footage. The stabilization is particularly impressive.

 @7b71a651 Yes, it looks much more like a play than a screenplay this way.

 @85e70c25 So… gross.

 @6bbf7086 No, I don’t think so. Apple would need to add this via Accessibility or something.

 @a7333e20 It's the worst part of these short testing periods, IMO. And even with multiple new phones in hand, I can't pretend to use one of them "normally" while using the other one for testing, because there's no way to use one phone normally while spending hours a day on another one.
