Had an awesome day after work yesterday! Got in a bouldering session, went for a quick dip in a perfect temperature lake, and then rocked out at a local live music gig. I love it here.

Sure, I’ll kick the tires around.

I didn’t think I was going to use @vincent’s kudos feature of @tinylytics cause I didn’t want a “like count” on my blog posts. But then I thought of an ideal use case! I’m transitioning my shortcuts library away from RoutineHub and onto my own site, so I added a 👍 button to each of those, like this.

Ooh La La! This will be extra helpful in apps like Reader and Matter where I like to listen to articles but they can’t parse paywall items. Their Safari web view is logged in, though, so I’ll just bring up Safari Reader and listen to it that way instead. Thanks @viticci@mastodon.macstories.net! ⏯️

Oh damn, I just realized that you can swipe between stages in iPadOS Stage Manager using the 4-finger swipe gesture. It’s just like swiping between full-screen apps and it might have just gotten Stage Manger to click for me.

Is anyone not thinking that the new DockKit framework for iOS 17 is a major hint toward Apple’s smart home product goals? I’d put money down that a motorized stand will come sooner rather than later from Apple, hopefully for both iPhone and iPad.

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. 👍

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>
