Is it just me or did Xcode 26 and/or iOS 26 screw something up when wireless debugging to a device? It’s back to the bad old days where it’s unusably slow. You have to do wired to get anything done.

Elon was no elected by anyone, nor approved by congress to do what he is doing. DoGE and its actions are illegal. Nothing that he is doing or saying is reasonable and he has no right to be doing them in the first place.

Atenção que ao ativar isso, a responsabilidade de guardar a tua palavra passe (e o recovery key) é só tua. Se as perderes, a Apple já não te pode ajudar. É por isso que isso não é ligado por defeito para toda a gente.

Olá José, não conheço essa impressora, mas posso dizer que há um ano ou dois deixei de conseguir fazer scan da minha impressora/scanner Brother usando o Preview no Mac. Apenas funciona usando a app da Brother. Creio que há uma app para Mac da Canon que pode ser a solução.

Since updating to macOS Sequoia 15.2 the Spotlight index seems to be getting hosed every 2-3 weeks or so, meaning that Cmd+Space doesn't find applications. The following script fixes it, but it's ridiculous that it's needed 😐

sudo mdutil -a -i off
sudo mdutil -a -i on
sudo mdutil -E

I always find that solution seems intuitively wrong. You want the text to expand vertically so fixed vertical seems the opposite of what you want. But I just accept it and use it 😄

Thanks, that what I suspected.

@dimillian.app followed your post on how to setup Cursor for iOS development, all working great so far, but I haven't found how I run tests using Sweetpad, other than running the entire test suite. Is it possible, for example, to run just a single test?

Absolutely correct, however the same can be said about stocks. If you had $1B of AAPL stock and tried to sell it all you would get a LOT less than $1B.
Which also puts into context the net worth of billionaires. Most of their wealth is in stocks, so it’s only theoretical.

This kind of conspiracy theory is just as bad as the anti-vaxxers. The COVID pandemic is over, and has been for months. Deal with it.

@halideapp.bsky.social in Kino, after deleting a file from the library (files, not Photo Library) all the other thumbnails go blank. They only come back if you leave and enter the library screen.

We have used Twitter – now X – for many years. It has been a resource for story-gathering, network-building, and a megaphone for getting public-interest stories to a wider audience. And it has been a well of ideas and discourse. Unfortunately that well is now poisoned. All of us have seen X become more toxic and broken since Elon Musk took over in 2022. Feeds have become less useful. Engagement has plummeted, except for those who will pay. Replies gain traction not through merit, but through the corrupted blue-tick system. We have seen hate speech and abuse deliberately dialled up and amplified, boosted not just by the algorithm, but by the owner himself. And England’s racist summer riots were one of many factors suggesting to us that X is not a neutral platform, but a space that now seems to glorify misinformation at a great cost to our public sphere. Millions of people are ditching X, and we are doing so, too. We have taken the view that it is no longer a useful tool for objective reporting, but a weapon being wielded by a narrowing ideological set. A tipping point is coming. Perhaps we are already in it. After much consideration, we have taken the decision to move over to other platforms, in particular Bluesky. For some of us that means instantly deleting our X accounts, for others it is a more gradual process. But we are all putting the majority of our efforts into building more constructive online spaces elsewhere for political dialogue and reporting. Bluesky is becoming a new hub for political discussion, and we encourage other UK journalists to join and become active. We are already seeing far higher engagement on our posts there than we’ve seen recently on X. And importantly, the mechanisms to limit abuse actually work. We enjoyed Twitter while it lasted. It played an important role in shaping many of our careers. And it was, for a long time, the place to be for UK politics. We believe that time is now over. Twitter is dead. Long live Twitter
