My life motto as this point: “computers are the worst”

bro: do u even kubernetes.

Disappointed to learn the waffles thing wasn’t a Leslie Knope reference.

(I love waffles BTW)

LOL… my very first thought after seeing the news was this comic.

“LOL”? When talking about someone getting shot? I mean… I can see how it is a little bit of a stretch, but not that much to me. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Political assassination is sort of a big deal.

Sorta seems like it falls under “Wishes of harm: Expressions of a desire for harm directed at a specific person or group.” … just retroactive.

Enjoyed “Superman”. Felt fresh and different from lots of superhero stuff. But I definitely enjoyed F1 way more.

F1 in IMAX was pretty incredible.

Happy Father’s Day to all you dads out there!

2026 is the year of L̶i̶n̶u̶x̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶D̶e̶s̶k̶t̶o̶p̶ Gaming on the Mac.

The Apple TV app on Apple TV has even more ways to push Apple TV+.

Every time I read the news, I wanna get everyone’s attention in the room and say:

“Wait a minute… _this_ is the Bad Place!”

The MacBook Air charging ports being on the left and the iPad Air charging points being on the right when in landscape is a damn shame.

Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten unless you need to go to college then you should leave family to the state.

I guess I don’t mind Bitcoin but generally get turned off by crypto, as the entire culture feels filled with scams.

I also think the transactional costs of Bitcoin make it seem more like an investment vehicle than a currency.

Every time I accidentally open LinkedIn, I end up wandering around like the Confused Travolta GIF.

Of course! Thanks for putting your code out there.

Hahahahahha

I think the “Why” should be higher and emphasize what benefits one might have in using this. Even if not a direct comparison with things you aren’t familiar with, there has to be benefits to structuring your persistence data in this way.

Other than that, great work! I was able to follow along

Nike needs to update their Xcode version

One of my favorite uses of GenAI and development isn’t it writing me code but being able to ask for ideas as to why something may not be working. Way more effective than Googling these days.

XCUIAutomation has API for interacting with:

1. Siri
2. The Digital Crown
3. A remote

But not

1. Face ID / Touch ID

If you had shown 10-year old Michael the current Star Wars-themed season of Fortnite, he would have perished from happiness.

My main hope for this ruling is that forcing Apple to drop restrictions around outside payments makes them compete on the merits of the App Store itself. I would personally prefer to make all of my purchases through the App Store but it could use some major improvements for buyers _and_ sellers.
