I stumbled onto this movie about Percy Fawcett’s attempt to find an ancient city in the Amazon. Surprisingly interesting. 🍿

I’m doing it, wish me luck!
I’ve been seeing talk about Pinboard. I was intrigued by the service but didn’t want to subscribe to yet another thing, so I was looking for alternatives.
Has anyone tried using DEVONthink for this? If yes, how?

Because I’ve been sick for the past week, WWDC kind of snuck up on me. I woke up this morning (Australian time) to find that I have the keynote to watch.
In a way I’m grateful; I didn’t spend the whole week stewing in fomo – though I have that to look forward to as all the live recorded podcasts come out.
Still loved last year’s ATP live recording (which I managed to attend), when everyone sung the ending theme…
About whether AI and automation is stealing jobs.
This article is saying, in the grand theme of things, no.
Thanks for the link @patrickrhone.
Can I just say how much I appreciate this app’s pricing model?
One of the things I hate the most about “subscription” models is that no matter how many years I’ve supported an app, the moment I stop paying the subscription, I lose access to the entire app – even features I’ve paid for years ago.
It doesn’t matter if I don’t want any future updates, it doesn’t matter if I don’t care about new features; if I want to continue using an old app on an old device, I have to continue paying for the subscription.
Agenda’s developers have come up with a new model – the base app is free, but you can unlock premium features for a one-off cost. This one-off cost would also give you any new features that they bring out in the next 12 months.
After the 12 months have elapsed you have two choices:
- pay for another 12 months of new features, or
- don’t pay, don’t receive any new features, but keep all the features you’ve already unlocked, and still continue recieving updates to the app (so it’ll continue to work on new devices and receive bug fixes).
This model is more than I could have hoped for; I don’t expect basic updates or bug fixes after I’ve stopped paying, but Agenda’s development team are making this and the base app free for all users.
It doesn’t have to be said, but I’ll definitely be supporting this app.
Drew McCormack also included a small write up on how they implemented this pricing model and I can only hope other app developers start considering alteranatives to the subscription model
The e-commerce giant will no longer ship orders from its international sites to Australia when the new tax rules for online purchases from overseas kick in.
I don’t even know where to begin… 🤬

The long-standing Finder feature essentially tells a file's parent application to open a copy of it by default, ensuring that the original file remains unedited.
