Sweet mother Mary, by the ghost of Steve Jobs! Working on a laptop screen got 1000% more productive just b/c of this. Also the wifi symbol will turn into an ethernet symbol if you're connected via cable. Nice! 👍

I wrote a lightweight Spotify client for MacOS based on librespot with Swift/SwiftUI. It's far from feature complete, but playing music works. Let me know what you think. github.com/ralph/homebr...

They should have made a new iPhone mini instead, but what do I know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ www.macrumors.com/2025/11/10/n...

I’ll be at this codetalks.com conference in Hamburg tomorrow and be glad to see some familiar faces.

I really want to buy a new iPhone to replace my 4 year old iPhone mini, but they're only releasing models to conveniently play table tennis with, and I want one that conveniently fits my front pocket. Is that too much to ask for? #iphoneminitillidie claude.ai/public/artif...

Seems like it was easier to vibe code exactly the simple wealth growth calculator I wanted instead of finding one online that I first need to wrap my head around. Go figure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ claude.ai/public/artif...

1. Leute beschädigen. 2. Leute als beschädigt zurückweisen. Das ist schon wirklich, wirklich schäbig

Halte es tatsächlich für möglich, dass der HSV diese Saison aufsteigt 🤓⚽️

Habe in den vergangenen Wochen specs für eine fast ungetestete, aber sehr wichtige Integration unserer App geschrieben, für die ich jetzt Änderungen implementieren soll, und in meinem Kopf singen die Fantastischen Vier die ganze Zeit "Ich bin so geil, ich habe specs!". 🤩🎶

Aaaaah! The Apple iCloud invoice Email used to be a beautiful 1 page PDF when exported (e.g. for taxes), now it's 2 pages with more text, a button and 5 links that are all useless for archiving purposes. I don't care about magic mice charging ports and Mac mini power buttons, but this pisses me off.

Well, FU Apple 🍎😤👊 www.macrumors.com/2025/03/26/n...

Was für ein tolles Verkehrsmittel die @deutsche-bahn.bsky.social ist, wenn man seine Anschlüsse bekommt. Heutige Strecke hätte ich in der Zeit nicht mit dem Auto geschafft, und jetzt schon mit dem Kind gelernt, gespielt und die Zeitung durch. 👍

Apple, give me a StudioDisplay with built in 2.5GbE ethernet, please.

TIL that Apple Photos on iOS/iPad are able to list all the albums which include one specific photo, but Apples Photos on MacOS can't 🫠🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Tried to switch from tmux to zellij to get kitty keyboard protocol support, so I can map cmd keys in @neovim.io on MacOS, but it just did not work out. You can pry my tmux.conf from my cold dead hands.

Switched from Wezterm to Ghostty written by Mitchell Hashimoto of Vagrant fame. Very good experience so far, much stuff built in, like automatic dark mode switching between separate themes. ghostty.org

The Simpsons did it again! 😮 Now it all makes sense! 🤯 heise.de/-10222046 youtu.be/8F1Q6yETpfk

And this, kids, is why there won’t be any Christmas presents this year. Your father spent all the money on laces that keep getting cut off by bicycle chains. 😐
