Uh, wow. 😯 youtube.com/watch
Is anyone else super particular about keeping their photo library pristine? Screenshots get taken, used, and deleted in short order.
I’m starting a “nuke and pave” (erase and restore to factory settings and set up as new) of my Mac mini. Wish me luck. 🤞
In honor of the App Store’s 15th anniversary, here are the first 15 apps I ever downloaded (inspired by @basicappleguy@mastodon.social). So sad I wasn’t there on Day 1. In fact, I’m pretty sure I didn’t even have an iPhone OS compatible device. I think I just downloaded these from iTunes in preparation.🤓
Between climate change-accelerating emissions, animal cruelty, deforestation, and water shortage, the reasons are stacking up for getting on board with lab grown (real) meat. Sign me up. overcast.fm/+eadfwR4d…
I just finished my first Shortcuts commission! 🤩 It was pretty cool to work on a shortcut specifically for someone else. Luckily they use my same blogging platform (Blot), so I had a head start on how it should work. If you have something you want to automate on your Apple devices, give me a shout!
Yesterday was an active outdoor day. Taking advantage of today’s rain for a computer day. 💻
I’m looking for a MagSafe charger that also doubles as a USB hub, like this handy HyperDrive Qi charger I’ve been using for years. I want use it with my phone in landscape for the upcoming Standby feature. I don’t think this exists, but I’d love to be proven wrong! Anyone seen something like it?
I love the challenge of editing down a micropost to fit within the character limit. It’s a fun, nerdy word game to get it just right. If anyone was paying attention, they’d see that a ton of my posts are precisely 300 characters long. ✊ (My tells are when you start noticing “&“s and absent commas.)
Not that it should matter to you, but if you’re blogging on Micro.blog and don’t have an RSS feed for just your long posts, you probably won’t make it into my RSS reader. I recommend using automatic categorization + the Feeds plugin to make it super easy to subscribe to your long-form posts via RSS.
Another awesome day here in the ADK. 15 miles by bike, then a walk downtown to the local farmer’s market, followed by a couple of hours spent with the pup at a new favorite swimming hole. And this time I got to spend the day with my wife! 🥰
I’m hanging out on the porch and my cat is absolutely loving chasing around all the flying bugs that the lights have attracted. I think he thinks they’re all toys I’ve brought just for him. 🐱
It is my dog’s tradition to join whoever heads into the bathroom first in the morning, no matter how early or how tired he is. Honestly, I love having the company. 🥰🐶
Introducing the ‘Emoji Meaning’ shortcut! Get it here from the HeyDingus Shortcuts Library.
Curious about an emoji, what it means, or even is? Simply share, paste, or type an emoji into the shortcut to pull up its official name, history, and different platform representations on Emojipedia.
I’m following @manton’s lead on an approach to Threads for now. Manually cross-post with the goal of consolidating back to my ActivityPub-enabled microblog when that’s possible. But I have to say that seeing more of my real-life friends’ posts again has been cool and I’m enjoying interacting there.
Regarding Taylor Swift’s first “era”, Speak Now has, by far, the most of my favorites. Some absolute bangers. So fun to revisit this album today. 🎵
