Search on the web is a broken system
Search is broken.
When a local doctors surgery needs to run ads on its home page so Google is incentivised to rank that page higher - because Google makes money from displaying ads - then the whole thing is broken.
I understand the how and why of how and why were here. And the rankings on Google’s homepage are precious and meaningful to so many businesses, including mine, but what is the fix? It’s not like the Yellowpages were any better, if anything, the somewhat democratic algorithmic management of search rankings is better for the world.
But this is broken.
The only fix is possibly just walking down the street and asking for a appointment at reception.

It’s almost a crime how good Instagram works on a Mac (Apple Silicon + Big Sur) considering Instagram doesn’t allow it to be installed without a bit of hard work. You can just drag and drop an image onto the Dock icon to post.

If you’re not onboard with a password manager already, then you’re leaving yourself at risk using the same password or password-ish for every website. I mention this because there’s a deal right now for 10 months free for 1Password for Families. Do it!

Finally convinced the Apple Silicon (fanless) MacBook Air to heat up. 45 minutes of 4K video render in Final Cut Pro in an Australian summer.
I’d like to say that I’m doing this due to popular demand, but the truth is, only 3 people asked. So based on that small cohort I’ve assumed that everyone would like to purchase on of my favourite photos I made from 2020
