Whoever tried to kill President Trump deserves condemnation, but so does President Trump.

@npub1u3f…nne2 I don’t usually solve it but you’ve inspired me to take a look.

@npub1eee…e209 "for one of his keyboards" ... tell me you're John Gruber's son without telling me you're John Gruber's son.

@npub1u3f…nne2 Could a company like Apple that enlists the services of a company like OpenAI establish a canary for this kind of thing, or would it be too late at this point?

I wonder how much of a panic is going through the halls of the company or companies that supplied Apple with stickers.

This is pretty cool. People who develop for WordPress often virtualize hosts on their Mac. Automattic made a purpose-made tool just for WordPress instances. https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/developer-tools/studio/

I think about @npub1jjq…ksgt every time I edit my podcast (https://coreint.org/) because I inevitably end up cutting silences after my pensive thoughts ...

Major updates to Black Ink for iOS and Mac, including a new native Vision Pro version, support for graphical overlays, and more! https://redsweater.com/blog/4075/black-ink-vision-pro-graphics

Unpopular opinion: it's the EU's fault that Progressive Web Apps are disabled on iOS. People expect Apple to jump through hoops to preserve something they don't prioritize. Why? If PWAs are important to the EU they should grant Apple an unambiguous permission to continue hosting them in WebKit-only if they choose to.

@npub1u3f…nne2 I have to resort to deliveries for loved ones afar, but I’m glad for home I have a trustworthy florist around the corner.

@npub1u3f…nne2 Yeah, I wasn't speaking about recording anything though?

I was kind of surprised when I was entering my password in Vision Pro, and it didn't block out the password. Took me a second to realize it didn't need to.

Very few of us these days are looking at Apple's baseline AppleScript support, and asking "how could it be better?" It's a hobby and a passion for me to do that. In FastScripts 3.3 I'll be adding "Mouse Automation" which fills a hole left by the Mac's built-in GUI Scripting.

The good news is @npub15xl…ytqh 15 is out! The AMAZING news is that I contributed to it! If you had told me 20 years ago when I was merely a starry eyed Bare Bones fan, that I would be in the About Box (for real!), I wouldn't have believed you. https://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/notes-15.0.html

What a surreal thrill to be listening to Roderick on the Line (catching up, an episode behind) and to suddenly hear them talking about me. I wondered if I was in a fugue state. Merlin almost remembered my gag exactly, but it was PORTS OF CRAWL (plural). @npub1el8…4l26

Sam Altman being fired by OpenAI is great news. I remember another upstart entrepreneur who was fired from a young tech company, only to come back blazing as if intent on settling a score.

Do any electronics buffs know how/if I could buy a small number of very small, custom color e-ink displays somewhere? Is there any company that let's you specify desired dimensions of the display?

Did Apple really fall out with Jon Stewart over editorial content choices? It's a really bad look for Apple, if so. I think their TV shows should have creative freedom from the political priorities of Apple as a whole. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/19/business/media/jon-stewart-the-problem-ends.html

@npub1utv…87lr I can't believe "the new DCFC album" is 20 years old. https://twitter.com/film_girl/status/1710849887624159318

Ask ChatGPT "What is" a penis, a clitoris, a g spot, a labia, a scrotum, a vulva, etc. Every anatomical term relating to a man results in an answer, and every term relating to a woman yields an answer that is quickly replaced with "this content may violate our content policy." Lady parts are bad, mmkay!?

I can date myself by admitting that Death Cab’s “Photo Album” is still “the new album that is different but still good.”

Does anybody else find themselves spending less time in the Slack communities that have been switched to the new design? I find it so hard to parse. It feels like a trap when I land there.

Most Americans did not even get last year's amazing booster shot. So I hope that anybody who challenges my record of "never getting covid" has also made every effort not to get it.

@npub1xsy…cevg Totally. I think you're right the likelihood of people assuming we "must have had it" goes up extremely if the judger has had it.

A long time ago I was in a slapdash Star Trek themed punk band called "No Kill I, the Next Generation" ... we were lightly featured in "Trekkies 2". Here's one of our ridiculous, delightful songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A7-skD5uSo

SOMEBODY recently told me they thought GREEN DAY was a big commercial band that appeals to California wannabes. To them I say: they have a broad appeal 😂 It's easy for me to defend my love of the band because they appealed to me at a very punk, very young, very non-commercial time.

I started adulthood as a radical leftist, so that when I got older and more conservative, I merely became a Democrat. 🇺🇸

The legendary Dan Wood (https://mastodon.social/@danwood@mastodon.cloud) is job hunting. His groundbreaking Mac app "Watson" led to the ubiquitous term "Sherlocked" when Apple introduced their own VERY similar app to his. If you are looking for a time-tested visionary in Apple ecosystems, give him a ring!
