Btw for those wondering, haven’t posted screenshots much but Magic School Lunar is still strolling on nicely towards a beta test phase.

Finally got around to upgrading to 1password 8 now that they’re discontinuing 7, and they definitely have improved it a bunch from where it was at release. It’s nice to see. The browser plugin is still… slow, though. The perceptible lag from icon click to launch is aggravating.

The #iPod turns 25 today! I've been musing about the impact it has had, and what we might learn from that as we navigate the generatively-beige world we now find ourselves in. news.kestr.al/ipod25/ Interestingly, I bought my first iPod to impress a guy I fancied. It didn't end well.

All the talk of decomps lately is reminding me of this old (2003) article from back when it was still a novel technique, from the team who did the GBA Phantasy Star collection without access to the original games’ source code: queue.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

[imsim audio log voice] You nincompoops keep forgetting the key code to the storage room, so I’ve changed it to something you can’t forget: 4. That‘s right... 4! If you run out of ammo during tomorrow’s training exercise, you only have yourselves to blame! 4, got it??

Really enjoying the iPod’s album shuffle, but it definitely is reminding me just how *much* it’s got to shuffle! Actually pretty impressive the shuffle doesn’t take too long

this is “the million dollar bug”. repost this one million times to make his name accurate

Thanks to a couple people for helping, I’ve found the answer. This is actually about Spotlight, and the setting it was telling me about is in the Spotlight settings. The help text turns out to have been completely misleading and pointed me at the wrong place in the setting.

Hey Mac users: I noticed that on macOS 27 the cmd+ctrl+D look up shortcut popped up an info message telling me about new customized content settings I should look at in settings, but… I can’t find the settings anywhere, and the message no longer appears! anyone know what this is?

we have to train web users to start clicking on links to stuff outside corporate social media. click on crouton.net and think about the other wonderful possibilities
