“Nothing, I’m alright.”

Ooh! A video of someone playing Descent (1995). I loved that game!

Oh man I feel sick.
Let me show you the toast system I’ve developed for the @jamdotdev@bird.makeup Mac and iOS apps. They resemble the system style (AirPods connected etc) and come in a variety of configurations. They are automatically dismissed after a timeout, a progress completion, or never.

iPhoneOS used to automatically apply a glossy shine to app icons. You could opt out of this behavior with a (boolean) plist key: UIPrerenderedIcon. Setting this to true would disable the shine. Technically, this key indicated that the “Icon already includes gloss effects”.
We need a UISquircleIcon. And look, if it would help Apple sleep at night, we can say that it indicates the “Icon is already in squircle jail”.
DHH right now
RE: @crk5@aus.social
This was an actual project in my AI unit at uni 25 years ago. Build and a train a neural net with mushroom characteristics as inputs and whether or not they are poisonous as output. Then give it a new, unknown mushroom and see what it says. The test sheet said “and then eat it. Just kidding.”
Pretty soon he’s just gonna end up drowned in a suit.
The Mac OS 27 onboarding gets you to ask Siri to set a 3 minute timer. It actually set one.
“Open the pod bay doors, Hal.”
Who is speaking?
“Dave”

…hmm, I’m having trouble connecting to your iPhone. Make sure it’s nearby and connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
App Store review times.
Sometimes I can’t tell if a person is AI or just a weirdo that AI was trained on.
Vibe coding.
There is something cosmically sad about sitting through an ad as you wait to be rickrolled.
A track dimming out in an Apple Music playlist is just a gentle reminder that you don’t own the music, you’re not even renting it. You’re just paying for the privilege to listen to it, probably.
My two most common reasons for tapping Not Interested on an Instagram ad are:
- it’s AI.
- it’s an awesome restaurant but it’s not in my city.
Both of these fall under the category of Something else.
I’m concerned that this SF Symbol even exists.
Did you know you can double click a brace in Xcode and it'll jump to the opposing brace? You did? Yeah, so did I. I totally didn't just realise it today haha that would be silly.
I use Claude Code to track my workouts. I felt like skipping the last exercise today.
*whispers* I’ll bet they were on drugs

@marcedwards@mastodon.social Yes, thats right. You'd drop off your code and pick up your antibiotics. It was all very cumbersome.
When an album has a music video as its last track, is there anyway to make Apple Music *not* play it? It is an incredibly annoying feature.
Those instagram ads that say “we are looking for 5 men who…”
Customers. You’re looking for customers.

@mattking@mastodon.social hi Matt, sorry for the delay- here’s a link to the latest TestFlight if you’re interested. It’ll be on the App Store after it’s been through some testing. https://testflight.apple.com/join/NYFJ36tq
