Dear lazytwtxt, I just saw someone say hi to a few new people. How can I check the accounts of these new-to-me people so I can figure out whether to add them to my own following list? Their URLs are snipped out in the main client (for good reason).
Looking for a reason to use Firefox more when developing sites? on macOS it’s the browser that smashes into the least horizontal space. Good if you like having a browser window running all the time. Doubly good if you like running it in Split View.

Turns out that color-scheme support only works in the Safari Technology Preview beta.

65 WWDC ’19 lines in twtxt.txt, 140 total lines. WWDC ’19 accounts for 46% of all my twtxt output. 🤔
“Available in the fall”
That looks like my local Apple Store. I wonder how similar the normal ones are to each other.
macOS Goat Rock
SwiftUI 🤔
450k apps using Swift…what’s that as a percentage?
Ever wanted to walk through your own Barbie house? Now you can. Or should be able to.
Where’s the teapot for this AR tester?
This Jira app doesn’t look awful.
“make the logo bigger”
Craig, quit hypercorrecting “Mojave” plzkthx
“based on their existing iPad apps” 🤔
iOS and macOS get to Windows Vista levels of voice recognition. _Finally_.
SHOW NUMBERS WOOOOOOOOOOOOO
iPad as a second display? Yes please.
4K TV on Apple computers? _Finally_.
Machine learning to analyze podcast contents. Interesting.
Finder syncs. Yay. Right?
PAGING JWZ
iTunes, the Katamari Damacy ball
…probably not a homeless guy using his Mac?
Wait, the stand costs $1,000?
Wow. Rack-mounted Macs Pro.
Nobody going “woo” for portrait-mode coding? Hunh.
Portrait mode? Yes please.
EXTREEEEEEEEME
Oh wow, guess Photoshop can really tax your monitor.
6K? Yeah, I could fit a code sidebar in the extra width.
“quiet operation” is something people have to ask for on a fancy monitor?
neat, casually adding a 1,000-person orchestra

as quiet as an iMac pro if it’s under your desk under low loads YESSSSSS
PCI expansion, back to the Mac
A cheese grater with rounded handles. YES PLEASE
What’s that table doing there 🤔
man, this guy has gesture trouble.
Fonts in the app store? 🤔
Dense iPadOS Springboard is gonna mess up my 1:1 phone:ipad icon correspondence. Boo, hiss.
Notes in oodles of different spaces. Nice.
Mini iPhone Xs on the slide-in app. Nice.
iPadOS? Damn.
Siri talk to me all day about chemistry plzzzzzzz
Boots modeled on ski boots? Gotta try everything, I guess.
Diary of your life. Mine’s gonna be more boring than the ones in the WWDC sample…
HATS!
OK, Sign In With Apple…almost seems neat. Of course, Apple is relaying e-mail for you…
Wow, Reminders got leveled up.
Totally flat black Now Playing. Hmm.
Swiping keyboard 🤔
You can tell the Slack users in the audience because they’re the ones with the all-white laptop screens.
Faster app downloads/updates? Tell me how!
Only 85% on iOS 12? That’s not as high as it used to be, is it?
No third-party watch faces. Hunh.
Wonder what the Noise complication does to battery life.
…or encrypted in iCloud 🤔
This Noise app is my jam. Decibel meter on my wrist? Yes please.
This is the kind of nerd thing I’d like for my working out, especially since I’m getting into cardio a little bit more.
But will my Headspace thingo be able to add the mindful minutes back to my iPhone?
Rhumba lessons. Does Cuban Pete teach as his day job?
I’d run Oceanhorn 2 on my iMac. Installing a kext for my Switch Pro Controller isn’t something I want to do ever again, though.
“Beautiflu”. OK, happens to even the best of us.
Never thought I’d see a night-owl-pride thingo like this.
Cute 3D line-drawn animated icons.
Decent music.
https://www.apple.com/apple-events/livestream/ doesn’t even support dark mode. Sad!
Do you miss your Twitter timeline blowing up whenever a WWDC keynote happens? DON’T WORRY I GOTCHU FAM
new toy of the day: https://github.com/lotabout/skim
Tempted to make a “dark motherfucking website” also-satire that has the minimal amount of @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) to keep people from blowing out their retinas when viewing the site at night.
@mdosch I’ve tried to play games on my phone and iPad but none of the games I’ve ever played on them seem to stick. I’ve had fun — briefly — with Threes and FTL and Really Bad Chess and so forth, but I don’t seem to stick with any one game on my iOS gizmos like I have with, say, FTL-on-Steam, much less TF2 or Dota 2.
In today’s brew update && brew upgrade: new bat, harfbuzz, and lsd. Is this the universe’s way of pointing me towards transcendent joy?
Anyone who says that iPads are bad for gaming is an ignoramus and/or a liar. I beat Picross S’s P060 and I wouldn’t have been able to finish it if I hadn’t been able to take pictures of the TV with my iPad to be able to easily back out of hypohetical block arrangements that turned out to be wrong.

all my friends are in agony over the Game of Thrones series end and all I can do to try and understand is remember how utterly confused I was by the nondeominational church at the end of LOST
Cute. wget --mirror --random-wait didn’t.
@lahvak Not too soon, I hope?
@mdosch not dead yet.
Make your website better in bed. Use @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { /* … */ }.*

@tux0r “best viewed in a rusty nail” just sounds weird to me, though.
Took a long walk earlier today and now I want to take a short nap.
Today I learned that onions are a sulfur-rich food. You can experience this yourself if you caramelize down roughly seven onions and eat half the batch in one sitting. Try not to do this if you’re going to be around people with functioning noses.
In other news, https://generative.fm/ now has a sleep timer

You know, Desert 2 is probably the best static Mojave wallpaper. It has enough light parts for the daytime, yet it also is generally dark enough to work well in dim lighting. Not many photographs are like that.
