My insulin pump is controlled through an app called “CamAPS FX”. I can never remember that name. The name I remember instead is “CamAPFS” (after the Apple File System), because I’m a huge file system nerd. #diabetesTech #hybridClosedLoop #fileSystem Posted on Vivaldi Social on 2024-10-15

They finally fixed it. I’m not sure if I’ll stick with their service, though. Their app has so many annoying pop-overs getting in the way of my music. I don’t want to do quizzes! I want to listen to music. That’s why I opened your app. Posted on Vivaldi Social on 2024-10-15

The WordPress controversy really underlines the need for alternatives. They are not too big to fail, but they have definitely been too big to care for years already.(No, a static-site generator is not a WordPress alternative.) Posted on Vivaldi Social on 2024-10-14

I’m revisiting #Deezer to see if it has improved its music streaming service in the last eight months. The first impression was okay but I quickly ran into intermittent playback issues (Error MS0610). One of their media storage servers uses a security certificate that expired over a year ago. I’m pretty sure this is what caused my intermittent playback issues the last time I tried Deezer.I’m giving them another shot because I believe Spotify is overdue for more competition, and I like the concept of Deezer’s Artist-Centric Payment System (ACPS). (I’m not sure it’s reality or a pipe-dream, though?) With ACPS, you pay the artist you stream instead of pooling everyone’s subscription into a giant slush fund. #CreatorEconomy https://www.deezer.com/explore/en-us/artist-remuneration/ Posted on Vivaldi Social on 2024-09-26
