Well, this makes me a happy GoPro user: GoPro Plus now offers unlimited uncompressed video storage

And yes, that includes 4K.

If you squint, you can see the snow. Just.

Apple News has more users than you might expect.

Crikey - my blog had more mobile and tablet viewers than desktop ones for the first time ever. I know I’m on the trailing edge of the switch, but interesting that it’s coming even to journalism-related sites.

There’s far too much truth in this:

How digital media killed itself

I love the neologism “memeocracy” to describe the impact of influencer culture in the attention economy. I love the impact of it significantly less.

Apple’s mobile journalism porn - I love the way Apple keeps making the #mojo case for us.

A calmer moment in a stormy day by the sea:

Shoreham may be blessed with one of the best library views out there.

Just when you think Facebook can’t go lower — it manages it…

Well, that’s one way of stopping regulators from breaking up your company, I suppose.

Zuckerberg speeds up assimilation of Instagram and WhatsApp into Facebook

Upscale NYC restaurant bans lone women from sitting at the bar

This is… extraordinary:

“I perched at my favourite seat at the bar and started to respond to all the emails that had arrived on the flight over,” she explains. “A waiter approached – a familiar face, but oddly hesitant on this occasion. He advised – with evident embarrassment – that I was no longer permitted to eat at my usual spot and that I must now sit down at a table.”

Essentially, they’re working on the assumption that single women sitting at the bar are hookers — or, at least, are treating their lone female customers as less important that making prostitution less obvious.

Sexist obliviousness is still sexism.

Daddy/daughter baking day.

The latest issue of @anxymag is here - all about masculinity. Time for a coffee and a read.

One that required a bit of focus, but not too much. Bring on next month’s #AppleWatch challenge.

I just had a really, really bad idea.

I should do nothing about this idea.

Apple News Expands to Canada in iOS 12.2 and macOS 10.14.4 - Apple’s rolling this out very slowly for them. But taking the time to get the right people in place is good.

Ugh. Buzzfeed is laying off over 200 people. They do great work, and they have some fantastic journalists - but that VC investment burden was always going to be hard for them to carry successfully.

Best wishes to anyone impacted.

No wonder my chair was uncomfortable - I’ve been sitting on this for the last hour:

Thingification:

“All these potentially powerful attempts at building a new world using new tools being rendered safe by assimilation into the old.”

All too often, the old, hierarchical world has hollowed out social tools, and worn them like a skin.
