This time it’s not fatigue, but disconnection
Trying to elaborate on why I feel increasingly disconnected from tech and by tech, and why this isn't just some passing sense of fatigue.

I ‘love’ how Apple fans are giving a positive spin to Apple tweaking Liquid Glass to make it less excessive, as if it’s something they’re doing because they care about the users.

I feel that my current tech headspace is a sort of limbo made of distrust and uncaring-ness. Maybe I’ll write about that.

“Why don’t you update your blog more often?” I get asked on a fairly regular basis.
Because I prefer to say nothing when I have nothing to say, instead of posting crap like this, for example:

Knee-deep in the localisation of an update to Procreate Dreams, and let me tell you: an ‘AI’ tool wouldn’t even know where to begin with this.

Okay, I’ve been staring at the empty white space of a New Document in iA Writer enough. I don’t think this is the day I’m going to update my blog.
It’s not that I lack ideas for articles. It’s that every tech topic coming to mind quickly devolves into a rant.

You can help make the ‘AI’ industry fail by not believing any of the claims they spread.
Whenever you see certain claims, especially if they sound too good to be true (or too exaggerated to be true), assume that such claims are, in fact, not true.

After much pondering, I’ve realised that the only way to get out of this creative rut regarding my fiction work, is to start writing something new, and something that hopefully doesn’t get sucked in a vortex of world-building.

In the past, whenever I hadn’t updated my blog in a while, I used to peruse my RSS feeds and often find inspiration to post something.
Lately, perusing my feeds is actually pushing me in the opposite direction — silence.

My 2012 AirPort Expresses retain a more consistent AirPlay 2 connection without the music cutting out than my 2 HomePods from 2021 still getting software updates. Make it make sense.

Spotify has been criticised for so many things in recent times.
I, as a premium subscriber since late 2010, am simply baffled that after 15 years I still can’t see the list of musicians playing on any given album.
In this album Brad Mehldau isn’t the only performer.

I love rain. After months of hot temperatures and sunny days, I was glad it mostly rained for the past week or so. I don’t even mind spending time indoors, usually. But somehow this time I couldn’t focus and couldn’t read or write much. Mood was mostly melancholic for no real reason.
