@snell.zone with an insightful truth: “I also must point out the hypocrisy of Apple claiming that it’s humbly building a stage that’s a perfect setting for our content. That’s absolutely not what’s happening here: Apple repurposes our content as a decoration for its interfaces”

New Zach Lowe Show mega playoff preview! @billsimmons.bsky.social on West series, awards, GSW play-in fallout, Bud/Suns, Pels future, much more; then @modakhilnba.bsky.social and I preview East play-ins/series: open.spotify.com/episode/0vCb...

But I sympathize with the problem of not being able to remember the names of some apps that I use regularly, but not frequently. Do you use a launcher like LaunchBar, Alfred, or Raycast? I use LaunchBar and one feature I love is custom shortcuts. Like, assigning “tas” or “tm” to Activity Monitor.

Erinnern ist nicht gleich „schuldig“. Lasst euch das von niemanden einreden. Erinnern heißt Andenken bewahren. Schuldig macht sich, wer Fakten verdreht, verharmlost und damit die Menschlichkeit verrät.
