Photographer, iOS developer, tech enthusiast, fan of movies. I love apps in general, but especially reliable, well-designed apps that are fun and easy to use.

Last Notes npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown This turned out to be a pretty big release — a good number of fixes and a few new features: #note1uvn…8u7t npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Banana art⁉️ This is amazing! I’ve never seen anything like this! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown So great! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Found this beautiful orange day-lily on another walk through the neighborhood. I just can’t get enough orange these days. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown That’s super impressive. I feel like GitHub Copilot in VSCode and the upcoming Apple Intelligence features in Xcode aren’t really even close to that. Hopefully they will be someday, but Apple seems to move pretty slowly, so maybe Copilot in VSCode will be there soon? npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown The bees were all over this milkweed. Took a while to get a shot without them. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown I absolutely love the bright yellows of summer. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Wow, that’s an amazing shot! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Echinacea — also known as purple coneflower. Love the color of these. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown You could try https://metadata.nostr.com which allows you to back up and restore the list of accounts you follow. Doesn’t look like they can help you with mute lists, though. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Bright orange tulips for #FlowerFriday npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Is AirPlay an option? I’ve been using that from my iPhone or Mac to my Sonos speakers most of the time and it generally works pretty well. Not sure if that’s changed recently with the update, but it used to work just fine for me. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown This is so great! Thanks! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown …and then it went down quite a bit in subsequent tests. Maybe I’m just faster in the morning when I’m fresh and haven’t typed in a while. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown I just tented mine as much as possible (no fancy stand like yours) and my typing speed was higher than my average. 67 WPM at full tent, whereas previously I had 51, 62, and 68. Clearly I need to try your full tent stand! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Absolutely — I’d love to! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Caught this Western Honey Bee while I was walking through the neighborhood. Not literally, but you know, on camera. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Hot air balloons npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Hot air balloonshttps://image.nostr.build/8f9f7977028d081f4305af32137fcb167a8ebdc71e23598f33e797fc51ff5a68.jpg npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown As a photographer, I'd love something like https://glass.photo/ which is nearly perfect if you ask me (but not built on nostr though). I like being able to see just photos in my timeline, tap on them for detail, and search/view photos by category. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Welcome! It’s great to have you here! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Cooper’s Hawk, April 2023. One of the first shots I got after buying a camera. I had been second-guessing my purchase and thinking maybe my iPhone was just as good as a “real” camera. Smartphones have really great cameras, but it’s hard for them to match a long lens that can zoom like this. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Beautiful! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown This is really cool. Love it! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Lilac, April 2023. It’s grown quite a bit and isn’t nearly this small any more! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown I’ve been pretty into photography for the past year or so, though I’ve been taking pictures since I was a kid. I’ve gotten more serious about it lately; I bought a nice camera and a couple good lenses and have enjoyed taking photos of my kids at sporting events as well as birds, insects, flowers, and other wildlife and nature. It’s always a challenge to get good shots, but I’m enjoying it. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Yeah, but getting people to change their behavior is really hard. I totally get why they’re trying all these things; nobody wants to give kids an extra hour of recess. Well, I do, but nobody else does. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Let's try this to link to their Nostr profile: npub1plstrz6dhu8q4fq0e4rjpxe2fxe5x87y2w6xpm70gh9qh5tt66kqkgkx8j npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Trying out @openvibe to see how well it works for cross-posting to Mastodon and Nostr. Super cool idea! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown I've never listened to it! I'll have to try it out -- in Apple Music, the app, of course. 😄 npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Surprised I can’t browse the Apple Music 100 Best Albums inside of Apple Music. It just takes me to Safari where I have to Sign In to listen to them. But in the Music app I’m already signed in! Why not let me look and listen inside the Music app? npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Seriously? npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Finally got my new Creamsicle keycaps, and I’m super happy with them. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Swift, but I assume you’re not asking about iOS clients… npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Ahhh, wish I had caught this! Sounds like it would have been fascinating. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Thanks for bringing awareness to this. I’d love to hear your thoughts on Nos for iOS (though I know I could also just test it myself). npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Stories are just a different type of view of the posts. I actually like it quite a bit for catching up with specific people. Sometimes posts can get buried, especially from people who don’t post frequently, so I like that I can just select one person and catch up on anything they’ve posted since the last time I caught up. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown And there are more coming; we’re just getting started with featured journalists and creators in Discover. More details here: #note1ff0…m085 npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Glad you’re trying it out, and thanks for sharing your first impressions! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Time to update your Nos in TestFlight — some nice bug fixes and small improvements just went out: npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Yes, I suppose Edit would have been easier if that’s what you’re getting at. At this point, I think Nos supports Delete but not Edit. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Ah, yeah, I suppose that’s true. Apple doesn’t always act in a way that’s consistent with what they say. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Whoa, this is really cool: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/scientists-imaged-and-mapped-a-tiny-piece-of-human-brain-heres-what-they-found-180984340/ npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Is this about the fact that they include that switch, or that it’s on by default, or something else? I’d be interested to see what that looks like on other hardware… do other companies even give you an option? npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Speaking of delete… I had to use it on the first version of this post since I forgot to include the link. See how useful it is? 😂 npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown “Nostr has delete, and it works, but it's more about expressing a user's intention than tech which can provably eliminate the existence of their content. We need to tell users this, and add delete request functionality to our apps.” npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Great photos! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown you beat me to it by I dunno, maybe a few seconds! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown oh, and I like this page, too — I think it’s a nice simple explanation of how things work: https://nostr.how/en/get-started npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown This overview of what it is and how to get started by @npub1w9w…k403 is really good: https://wedistribute.org/2024/05/nostr-crash-course/ npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown If you haven’t installed it yet, here’s the link to join the beta on TestFlight: https://nos.social/install npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown It’s been especially fun working on the Discover tab in Nos to feature creators and journalists. Check it out and find new people to follow! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown note12hnh4rq3y9c2l0pvh8smw6wdc4h7qke4q7zf2cf55rg694d28jjsyuvcdk npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown I love the lighting on this building. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown That’s beautiful! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Beautiful. That’s a lot of travel! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown I think the thing I’m most happy about from Apple’s iPad event is that they moved the front camera to the landscape side. I was always slightly annoyed on video calls that my camera was off to the side rather than right in front of me. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Hope the rest of the family can all get out safely. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown The Apple homepage is fun this morning — you can erase the Apple logo by hovering over it with your mouse/trackpad on Mac or swipe across it with your finger on iPhone/iPad. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown One of my favorite self-portraits. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown @npub13qr…almy Wow, yeah, Two Ships is awesome! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Whoa, that’s cool. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Another great view! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown This was a fun one: npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Sunset at the track meet npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Welcome! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Thanks, Terry — that looks perfect! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Absolutely! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Recommendations for a good Nostr browser extension for Safari on Mac? I’ve found a number of Chrome ones, but I don’t even have Chrome installed and would rather now. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Beautiful! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown “Imagine if we invested that much time into our real life connections.” npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Thanks! It’s back up, but now I know who to notify next time. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Of course, it’s back up now, so 🤷 npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Love it!

We’re looking into it now; seems like it may have been a mistake. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown I like git even for text documents since it offers versioning and an easy way to diff. npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown 😂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8PdffUfoF0 npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Indeed; I know myself quite well. 😄 npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown About ten people right now: https://www.nos.social/about npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown We're hiring for a part-time DevOps role at Nos: https://www.nos.social/career/devops npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Wow, people are upset about an honest review from MKBHD? Does everyone just expect nice, dishonest reviews from him and other tech reviewers? If so, what’s the point of reviews? npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Yikes! npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown 😂 npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 Josh Brown Didn’t even realize that rhymed!
