Is this app metadata layout new in App Store search? I kind of like its compactness.
This is often what happens when I try to catch up on sleep by napping during the day. I end up staying awake way too late afterwards and perpetuate the exhaustion.
Here it is 2AM again, long past when I should’ve gone to sleep. Instead, I spent a couple hours writing a blog post that I thought would be a quickie. And then retried to troubleshoot the video upload woes I’ve had with Micro.blog. I fixed the broken posts but am still unsure of what finally worked.
Holy smokes, this privacy video from Apple in China is something else. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them have a person embody the Apple brand before. Even in the Mac vs. PC ads, the guy was a Mac, not Apple itself. Entertaining though, and seems bold to put out in notoriously un-private China.
Did macOS lose the animated Memoji option on the lock/login screen? My little guy used to shake his head at me when I typed my password wrong, and be overall more fun to interact with. If not, how do I turn that back on??
I wonder how weather app developers feel about Apple’s WeatherKit API being only halfway reliable. Maybe they don’t mind because it only costs half as much as the Dark Sky API did.
When I saw this from @robb@social.lol, I immediately thought of @alexcox@mastodon.social and @hotdogsladies@mastodon.social. So good! 😂
The Pixel Tablet’s dock should have been a Nest speaker - The Verge
At launch — words I’ll come back to — it’s just a dock. It charges the Pixel Tablet, and it has speakers that the tablet can use when it’s docked. And it enables that Hub mode I was talking about. When you take the tablet off the dock, it’s a tablet. But the dock is just clutter. You can’t cast audio to it, you can’t ask it questions, and you can’t even use it to charge your other devices. It just takes up space.
Yeah, that would have made more sense.
Apple weighs in on the “mice” versus “mouses” debate.
Also from the press release:
Shortcuts adds Remember This, which helps users with cognitive disabilities create a visual diary in Notes for easy reference and reflection.
I’m eager to see how this is implemented since it seems more like a Siri feature. Would also be perfect for that rumored journaling app.
Of course, even the microwave’s clock reads 9:41 in Apple’s accessibility announcement today.
Well, dang. All Consuming is possibly my very favorite current podcast. The show “ended” before, but came back in a different format for a second season. Maybe it’ll rise, phoenix-like, from the ashes once more. But you should still listen from the beginning. Thanks, Noah and Adam, for a great ride!
Oh hey, look what just came in! Nothing too impressive, but I felt compelled to complete this challenge in my new hometown. Next up, the 46ers! 📷
Amazing day to be out on a big multi-pitch rock climb. It was my first time running up the Chapel Pond Slab on the Regular Route (5.6) with @saw_dust_ery. Big rock! 📷
I had such a good day! It was beautiful out. I had an excellent hiking client and took them on a really fun trail (Three Brothers). Got a long-overdue haircut. Got back on some rock after a couple of weeks off from climbing. Great Ahi Stack dinner. AND I’m going to bed early. 😁 📷
I love my town. 🧡 📹
I think I’m done with “fediverse” as a term. “Social web” sounds more approachable and accurate.
