It's a fun game. Takes a minute to learn. Life time to master.

I want to work on a project with others.

I also want to do a million other things.

If there's an interesting issue, I might be interested in jumping in, but I wouldn't count on it.

Using enumerated() with SwiftUI List and ForEach to show item numbers Starting with Swift 6.2 and iOS 26, EnumeratedSequence conforms to RandomAccessCollection, allowing enumerated() to be used directly in ForEach and List views.

Wow. But are you using homebrew's registry or are you hosting your own? You're still using their JSON API right?

this sounds epic. Are you using their API?

I've found measuring work to be an arcane science. How do you do it? If you measure results then that's not fair because results are dependent upon things that are outside your control. If you measure effort, then how much of that involves me going down rabbit holes that may or may not be relevant?

Technical posts take extra long to write because you have to code review your post.

out in the bloodshed the cycle begins
and everyone dies
spin the wheel, if you don't get killed
you wind up dead inside

out in the bloodshed everyone loses
there's unforgettable scars
out in the bloodshed permanent bruises
shapes up who you are
children left to wander america aimless
with a firebrand of resent
wondering who it is took my daddy
with a destiny of revenge

I heard laughing
I heard glee
but it coulda been you
it coulda been me

well you can't hate the gun and love the gun that shot yer rival
you can't be kind and wish pain upon a child
everybody's gotta say
what they're needing to say
as soon as they're needing to say it
the freedom to speak
to be a freak
and the freedom to say you hate it
and have a big ole conversation

YouTube video by Jesse Welles Charlie

for all of the bile
the bold talk
the venom
the hate and the lies
no one should be killed
no blood should be spilled
Charlie shouldn't have died

Announcing JSON Canvas: an open file format for infinite canvas data The Obsidian Canvas file format is now called JSON Canvas and has its own site, specification, and open source resources.

If I recall correctly the implementation isn't open source, but the .canvas file format is an open standard. Meaning any app can read or write .canvas files. And some others already do.

Why do you feel like a door to door salesman right now?

Are you working in Xcode?

Xcode freaks out when anyone other than Xcode edits a file.

Looks perty to me.

What is System Data in Storage Settings? The bar chart in Storage Settings shows most of your startup volume is full of System Data. What does it mean, and what use is it? Is its measure of used and free space accurate?

A lot of the System Data is actually purgable:

And you could free up the "Music Creation" files.

A cityscape at sunset, featuring several tall modern buildings with blue and dark glass facades under a sky filled with vibrant orange and yellow clouds. In the background, a body of water is visible, and the foreground shows lower buildings and some street activity. This was the view outside my balcony during Hurricane Douglas, July 26, 2020.

Happy Hurricane Douglas Day!

I love high quality text to speech readers and macOS 26 finally has a really good one built in. The only problem is that it's a pain in the butt to find and start.

They could call them theets if they wanna be scientology friendly. haha

I mean... lol. Why wouldn't they just call them threads? That's what they were already called.

...maybe just don't announce assassinations. 🤔
