ICYMI: looks like Apple’s verification servers are down. It means no new installs of Enterprise-signed apps.

In which I defend an extremely unpopular movie boxd.it/cd3slv

Disappointed to learn the waffles thing wasn’t a Leslie Knope reference. (I love waffles BTW)

Enjoyed “Superman”. Felt fresh and different from lots of superhero stuff. But I definitely enjoyed F1 way more.

F1 in IMAX was pretty incredible.

Happy Father’s Day to all you dads out there!

Excited to see how Facebook uses this for evil: developer.apple.com/documentatio...

2026 is the year of L̶i̶n̶u̶x̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶D̶e̶s̶k̶t̶o̶p̶ Gaming on the Mac.

The Apple TV app on Apple TV has even more ways to push Apple TV+.

Every time I read the news, I wanna get everyone’s attention in the room and say: “Wait a minute… _this_ is the Bad Place!”

The MacBook Air charging ports being on the left and the iPad Air charging points being on the right when in landscape is a damn shame.

Blows my mind how much of the web is simply broken on Mobile Safari, which has to be one of the most popular browsers in the world.

Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten unless you need to go to college then you should leave family to the state.

Nike needs to update their Xcode version

One of my favorite uses of GenAI and development isn’t it writing me code but being able to ask for ideas as to why something may not be working. Way more effective than Googling these days.

XCUIAutomation has API for interacting with: 1. Siri 2. The Digital Crown 3. A remote But not 1. Face ID / Touch ID sigh

If you had shown 10-year old Michael the current Star Wars-themed season of Fortnite, he would have perished from happiness.

My main hope for this ruling is that forcing Apple to drop restrictions around outside payments makes them compete on the merits of the App Store itself. I would personally prefer to make all of my purchases through the App Store but it could use some major improvements for buyers _and_ sellers.

Apple should consider having an App Store review process to catch these scams before release: www.theverge.com/news/657370/...

Getting a new prosthetic eye made today and Wednesday. Should have a new look by Thursday. I always feel so thankful to live in a time and place where I can have this done.

I really enjoy receiving the Toll Road fine scam SMS messages threatening my vehicle registration. We literally have zero toll roads in our state.

uploading my “how I get my work done with an iPad!*” YouTube video * includes hardwired Raspberry Pi, a Mac mini on my local network and several AWS provisioned servers and S3 buckets

The underlying assumption, held by leaders across the political spectrum, is that appealing to America’s loftiest ideals for reasons unrelated to partisan advantage is for suckers. We reject that premise. From The Dispatch Editors: thedispatch.com/article/decl...

In my second use of GitHub Copilot Chat, I got a hallucinated method.

Mickey cashes in his RSUs

I am probably gonna buy a Switch 2 so I have a portable Fortnite machine. Basically, the Epic v Apple battle means a Nintendo victory.

“Why yes! I was hoping when I came to use this software that rather than performing the task I set out to do, I would instead be offered a Tour of your updates!” - no one, ever

“Arch users are the Linux users of Linux users” - my son, an Arch Linux user

Now imagine writing everything in native code 🤯

Gotta remember tomorrow to leave my clocks alone because I live in a sane place that doesn’t do stupid crap with clocks.

1Password has gone from being one of my favorite Mac apps to receiving marketing emails informing me they are the “Official Cybersecurity Partner of Oracle Red Bull Racing”

My washer runs around 50 minutes. I struggled for weeks to get Siri to set a timer for that amount instead of 15 minutes. I tried different pronunciations and inflections before finally realizing “five-zero minutes” worked. Told my wife this story and she asked “Why not fifty-one minutes?”

Every plumbing project I have ever started ends up needing to begin with a change of the shutoff valves. Phoenix water is awful.

wha?

🎶 BK Me-e-e-e-elt 🎶 is playing on endless repeat in hell.

I should create an account that gives updates on all of the email I receive for other people. You’d think I have the most common name in Earth.

I use the Pomodoro Technique to help focus (works great for ADHD!) but then it helps me focus so well I get frustrated when the first 25 minute period is up. Help me @qcoding.bsky.social.

Game companies’ insistence on account creation and usage should be paired with the ability to move/merge accounts. Kids are always getting into situations where they end up with different accounts from the same publisher and it causes pain and agony with zero recourse other than “starting over”.

When I see a TV ad for a mobile game with Chris Pratt & Jason Mamoa, I figure they must be making gazillions of dollars on IAP and there is no way I am trying it.

Won my second game!

Movies NOT in the “Holiday” genre of my purchased iTunes movie library: Arthur Christmas A Christmas Story Christmas with the Kranks Jim Carrey Grinch Elf Fatman Home Alone 1 & 2 Miracle on 34th Street Nightmare Before Christmas Santa Clause 1 & 2

Don’t wanna spoil the Superman teaser trailer but there is a moment that had me screaming “SOLD”, and everyone who has seen it knows what I am talking about.

The PS app’s floating bottom navigation has to be on the worst I have ever seen. Is this some multi-platform app thing?

Every email unsubscribe form needs to add “SOMEONE DOESN’T KNOW THEIR OWN EMAIL ADDRESS” to the list of reasons.

I know I’m a dinosaur but I am basically done with iPad OS. Talked myself into an iPad Pro years ago but was so increasingly frustrated by the sandbox. Unless this things runs macOS, non-starter for me: www.theverge.com/2024/12/15/2...

Why does Mary wear glasses in the Georgeless version of the CCU (Christmas Cinematic Universe)?

Image Playground keeps making me look extremely skinny.

Is there a built-in way on BlueSky to apply mute filters to a subset of the folks you follow?
