And only the smart people would think they can survive it 😉

The older I get, the less I care about surviving a zombie apocalypse.

As a kid I was all “I’d find a great hideout and make a plan!”, but these days I think beyond the first two weeks, and how everything will have fallen apart real fucking quickly. It all just seems like a hassle, y’know?

I have an iPad mini and enormous pockets. I'm living the dream.

Jesus, how was Rittenhouse murdering those guys only four years ago? It feels like it was at least ten.

A joke in which the central conceit is Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman fuck each other, but yeah, censor the word “ass”.

In the wise words of Billy Connolly,

The desire to be a politician should bar you for life from ever becoming one.

When I was studying radio production at uni back in 2010, the Adobe Audition editing suite was rammed full of 2009 iMacs, all running WinXP. It was a bit of a headfuck for a moment, but iMac hardware was second to none, the uni must have got a decent discount from Apple to buy that many, and at the time Audition was Windows only.

And to be fair, they made for excellent editing machines.

“How do I get my Mac to do this thing?”

“Use Arch”

macOS, mostly.

Been fiddling with Mint lately on my 2011 Macbook Pro, with a view to using it for self hosting a bunch of stuff, but haven’t really had the time / brane capacity to really figure it all out.

Windows can lick my anus. I have Win11 in a VM on my work Mac, and it’s dreadful.

Oh SMASNUG!

oh no, my pkcell

 

Can anyone shed any light on why you can't swipe back and forward in Finder with a trackpad? The option in Settings allows for two finger swipe between pages in eg. Safari, but that doesn't extend to Finder, and I can't work out why?

I've been able to activate it using BetterTouchTool, but it seems like a truly bizarre omission, considering how much Apple have optimised macOS for trackpad use.

I don't know why I've never really thought about it before, but now I can't stop...

 

Well, what’s left of it.

 

First up, I realise that Automator does so much more than Shortcuts. But my question is: why?

I have a couple of spreadsheets that I want to be reminded of once a week so I can keep an eye on the dates they contain. My stupid ADHD brain is likely to forget to check them, and a reminder is only as useful as whether I'm able to act on it at that moment in time. So I've set up an automation to open them up at a specific time. Given that Shortcuts on macOS doesn't support automations (as far as I can tell), the only way to do this is;

  • Create a shortcut that will open the documents I need to open.

  • Create an automator application that uses a bash script to open the shortcut.

  • Create a calendar entry where the alert is set to open the automator app.

So I guess I want to know why Shortcuts (for macOS) can't run automations, why Calendar can't open Shortcuts, and why Shortcuts didn't subsume everything that Automator can do? Who at Apple thought it was perfectly right and proper to have to distinct and powerful apps essentially offering the same functions, but that neither of them fully encompass the abilities of the other?

 

Thought you lot might want to know where you can buy a polar bear cub.

 

As much as I don’t like negative threads, there’s one thing in iOS that really irritates me, and I want to air it…

Pressing and holding the tab button in Safari to access tab groups, should have a haptic response.

Because it doesn’t, I often end up opening the tab view instead, so I have to huff a little, hit Done, then try again. I don’t know why it annoys me that it doesn’t because none of the other buttons in Safari do, but I feel like it should.

No, I have not contacted Tim Apple about this. Yes, I probably should.
