Godammit. 😞 This was a huge part of why I went with a Kobo. An opportunity for Readwise to expand their Kobo integration to include Reader? But probably not.
Kobo ebook readers will be losing their ability to read web articles saved to the Pocket read-later service later this summer. Though Pocket integration has been available on Kobo devices for years, the functionality will stop working after August 15th, 2023, when Pocket will require all of its users to transition to Firefox accounts to log in.
Yup, MKBHD’s video has convinced me that I want an iPhone/iPad version of the Pixel Fold. 👍
It’s kinda fun how quickly an idea can go from just a spark to being published on the World Wide Web. Here’s a fresh list of some things that I’ve been waiting for… https://heydingus.net/lists/days-waiting
Did I miss the Mac Pro reviews? I don’t think I saw any alongside the 15” Air and Mac Studio ones dropping. But here we are, after they’re available for customers to buy.
I don’t feel like it gets said enough anymore, so I’ll say it: Apple got so much right with the foundation of macOS and its UI is a joy to use to this day. I can have so much going on at once and never feel overwhelmed because of the myriad of ways to jump between apps. </appreciation>
New Bluesky, who dis? (Thanks @maique!) I’m @heyjarrod.net over there, but don’t get too excited. I’ll probably just be cross-posting from Micro.blog tbh.
If I’m being honest, the inverted-T-arrows keyboard was a sideshow to the more significant keyboard issues that people identified the last few years. I think Apple overcorrected and full-sized left & right arrow keys would’ve achieved the visual symmetry they wanted without significant compromise.
A Chinese buffet restaurant reopened in our town this weekend and it brought me right back to being a kid and having the ability to shovel endless plates of delicious cuisine down my gullet. I can’t consume quite that much anymore, but I do still love me a good buffet. 🥢
Hey @viticci@mastodon.macstories.net and @johnvoorhees@mastodon.macstories.net, I’m putting together a Shortcuts library on my site and wondered if you’d mind if I reused some wording from the MacStories Shortcuts Archive? It’s been a huge inspiration, and I liked how you did the intro/legalese.
Uhh…just checked in on Reddark and over half of the subreddits have now gone private in protest of Reddit’s API decisions. This got way bigger than I expected and I’m very curious about how (if?) Reddit will respond.
Whoa, imagine a modern operating system update coming in under 30 MB. A majority of my apps have bigger file sizes than this.
Here we go again… 🏡 😬
I realized today that because the Vision Pro lacks hot-swapping the battery pack for longer sessions, the best way to keep using it beyond 2 hours and not be tethered to the wall will likely be a battery pack for the battery pack. I LOL’d.
I competed in my first-ever organized trail run race today (and first organized race in many years). I had a ton of fun! Finished with a better time than expected, felt better while racing (the key: hydrate yesterday), and took 6th in my age group. Can’t wait till next year! 🏃♂️
It strikes me that Facebook changed their company name to Meta to tell the world they were committed to AR/VR as the future. Apple silently toiled away investing in a product so compelling and advanced that it has universally flabbergasted demonstratees to show how deadly serious they are about it.
