Our Japanese maple in the back garden is starting to change colour. A change of seasons is upon us. #mbaug

Instagram's sole aim is to keep you in the app
Looks like I removed the Instagram app from my phone at the right time.
As if Instagram weren’t addictive enough already, the company is adding a new feature that’s intended to keep you scrolling through your feed even longer. Starting today, Instagram will load ‘Suggested Posts‘ at the end of your feed, once you’re all caught up with updates from friends and other accounts you follow.
— Instagram’s new ‘Suggested Posts’ feature will keep you scrolling forever
Like Facebook, Instagram is doing everything to keep your eyes on the app. Suggested users, copying features from other trending apps like TikTok and now suggested posts. These features aren’t designed to help the users, they’re designed to keep you attached to your timeline.
Without an open API though, the options to viewing your timeline on Instagram are restricted. It’s not the kind of platform that I want to be a part of.
I had no idea Unsplash had an iOS app. Found out this morning after continuing my process of updating accounts with my new email address.
Almost stationary. To be fair, I envy this little guy’s pace of life.
This is a silhouette of Ethan playing at Gleneagles last year in the junior open. I like this type of picture. I hope to get more shots like this when golf competitions return next year.
Nicholas Bate’s 14 point productivity primer is a great place to start if you need to get back on track.
I was optimistic about Mozilla yesterday. Today, I’m not so sure after reading various posts and tweets. Without Mozilla, we lose a big big fighter for the open web. I really hope Mozilla can bounce back.
My Soundcore Life 2 headphones were a great buy. They produce good sound and have noise cancelling.
They also work nicely for online gaming, although I never thought about using them when I bought them. #mbaug
Looking out the window from one of the buildings at Paisley Abbey. I would love a window like this to work from every day.
