Remember when Sketch 1.0 came out and it basically didn’t work at all? I remember being frustrated with how basic functionality like undo was entirely broken. It’s pretty incredible that they stuck with it and turned it into what it is today.

I’m calling this Federighi’s Hierarchy of Needs:
If there isn’t an app for it, try Notes or Numbers. If Notes or Numbers won’t do it, start writing Shortcuts. If you can’t do it with Shortcuts, start learning Swift.
#ios
I wrote a shortcut that lets me hit the action button on my watch or phone and save the current GPS coordinates to a text file. I think this might be able to replace using a heavier-weight app for film photography.
I would love to see proper tagging in Micro.blog, with its own out of band field, I could use go discover people I want to follow.
I still don’t understand. What is the benefit of Substack over a blog on Wordpress or Ghost or something? Especially for all these journalists. It doesn’t seem to offer any features over a Wordpress.com business plan or whatever and you’re tied to this kind of questionable platform.
This Section 31 movie is baaad. I like all Star Trek and I don’t know if I can finish this.
Starting to worry I did something to piss one of my friends off without knowing it. I really hope I didn’t 😟
My last question at an interview is always “who’s your favorite Star Trek captain?” I think it’s a pretty good one.
Managed to go to bed and wake up at a reasonable time today, which has not be the norm. Hopefully I can keep it up!
We already knew that all of these corporations and CEOs were full of shit pretending to care about diversity or marginalized groups, but the rapidity at which they have dropped it as soon as they no longer saw it as politically expedient to pretend is still impressive.
Back when I lived in San Francisco, I would average walking 10,000+ steps in a year, with some months averaging 15-16,000. Now it’s maybe slightly more than half that. Not owning a car had benefits.
Looking at the different time tracking apps, I think that I’m going to go with Session. There are more automatic options out there, but Session also has the advantage of being a Pomodoro app, which helps me stay focused.
Harvest looks good too, but I think I’d rather not migrate off FreshBooks.
Romans didn’t do the “Roman salute.” It was created in the 19th century for theater set in the Roman period. And regardless, that’s just a different word for a Nazi salute. I don’t even know what people are trying to say with that.
I think the next four years are going to be a lot worse than the first time around.
Does anyone have a time tracking app for Mac that they like that is good for freelance work? I’m using Freshbooks for invoicing, but would like something that isn’t web-based and lives in my menu bar.
Pixelfed is great, but it’s not even close to an Instagram replacement, unless what you’re looking for is Instagram from 2011. A lot of people do want that, but I don’t think it’s a very large number. If you think it is, I can only think you’re not very aware how people use Instagram.
Turned off the “type to Siri” feature on my phone. That gesture is way too easy to trigger on accident.
I would like the categories feature in Apple Mail about 10x more if it was available on macOS as well. Categories messages on your phone is really tedious.
If you don’t think Elon did a fascist salute, go to a public place, film yourself doing what he did, and post it online. Post it on LinkedIn. If that’s not what it is anyone who thinks so is reading into it, there shouldn’t be a problem.
Shit. I just realized I’ve got at least another four years of hearing everyone’s shitty Trump impressions.
Watched nothing and read almost nothing about what’s going on today. Won’t help anything, so I’m not doing it.
Serious question — who will buy all the stuff from these companies if they replace large parts of their workforce with AI or whatever? Isn’t having fairly compensated employees who can afford the things their own and other companies make a virtuous cycle?
The Pixelfed app has a lot of rough edges. I’m afraid millions of people are going to try it, bounce off due to a lack of polish, and never come back. I don’t mean this to disparage the developers, because it’s a ton of work to make an app, and they’re not getting paid.
Instruments is indispensable for me when I’m doing any kind of iOS/macOS etc development. I’m always surprised how many people don’t seem to know much of how to use it or haven’t even tried it at all. #iosdev
Really wish there was a way to turn off notification badges on macOS for the Messages app when it’s not active.
