Fucking class act, #Microsoft, real smooth

https://www.theverge.com/24054329/microsoft-edge-automatic-chrome-import-data-feature

> Last week, I turned on my PC, installed a Windows update, and rebooted to find Microsoft Edge automatically open with the Chrome tabs I was working on before the update. I don’t use Microsoft Edge regularly, and I have Google Chrome set as my default browser. […] it took me a moment to realize that Microsoft Edge had simply taken over where I’d left off in Chrome.

#Microsoft & #EdgeBrowser, not even once

This is your quarterly reminder that on #macOS, you can enable #TouchID for sudo.

Thanks, @dmoren!

PS: @StrangeNoises let me know that in Sonoma you can make that addition permanent, and @dmoren added an instructional post for Sonoma: https://sixcolors.com/post/2023/08/in-macos-sonoma-touch-id-for-sudo-can-survive-updates/

GATHER 'ROUND, KIDS, DAD'S DROPPING SOME SWEET-ASS #FACTS

If you're lauding #Mastodon for being a German non-profit, public benefit company (gGmbH) — as we all should because that is excellent! — you can't scoff at #Bluesky for being "commercial" because they are basically the same type of company: an independent public benefit LLC (PBLLC). Also 💯!

Both companies produce open-source software/protocols. If you don't like the vibe here/there: that's fine — but stick to facts.

BOOST WELCOME

Working on FOSS can be a terrible experience. In a way, it’s like being a plumber out of conviction: even though you like what you do, and your work is a vital part of civilization and society, it can be a relatively thankless job, most people never think about it, and you'll only hear from them if something breaks.

I invite you to join my session "Obsidian, meet Apple Shortcuts" at the #LinkingYourThinking Conference session on Friday! https://www.linkingyourthinking.com/lyt-conference-3/carlo-zottmann

I'll give an intro to the Apple Shortcuts automation system and how #Obsidian can benefit from being a part of it.

I will showcase my app #ActionsForObsidian, which brings the two together, and build a few short workflows to give you ideas for how to connect your existing Mac and iOS apps to your Obsidian vault.

Pssst… The public TestFlight for Browser Actions has launched!

It adds macOS Shortcuts support for Brave Browser, Chromium, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Vivaldi. And for Safari.

All the details and the TF link @ https://actions.work/browser-actions

And TBH, should you like it and tell other people, I totally wouldn't mind. 😅

Überraschend klare Worte vom #Flensburg-OB zur #Klimakrise, Sturmfluten und der Verantwortung der Stadt bei #Hochwasser:

> Wer hier wohnen möchte und arbeiten möchte, muss sich den Investitionen stellen oder irgendwann sein Eigentum aufgeben. […] Wir werden Stadtentwicklung heute anders denken müssen […] Hochwasser-Grundstücke werden einem enormen Preisverfall unterliegen. […] Den Kommunen sind dann irgendwo auch die Grenzen gesetzt.

Da stimme ich 100% zu.

Good morning! I've made a Mastodon bot account for the Apple Developer System Status page*, if anyone wants to help me test it by keeping an eye on it: @AppleDeveloperSystemStatus

*) Cue 5 people telling me of three existing Masto accounts doing the same thing… 😅 (I had fun building it, that's a win in my book already.)

Ein Jahr später kam Helmut Kohl an die Macht, legte die Pläne aufs Eis und förderte lieber das Kabelfernsehen. 35 Jahre Jahre später gibt es immer noch kein flächendeckendes #Glasfasernetz.

Jedes Mal, wenn ich 5 Minuten auf LinkedIn verbringe* und dort lese, was andere Menschen schreiben, fühle ich mich befremdet aber auch ein bisschen als Versager, weil ich keine „spannende neuen Möglichkeiten“ biete oder an „exciting new ventures" mit meinen "soft skills und deep knowledges" feile.

Ich weiß, da ist viel Glanz und das ist zum großen Teil ein immerwährendes Bewerbungsschreiben per Hochdruckgebläse, aber trotzdem…

Hilfe!?

  • unveil my new app
  • get website done
  • record quick’n'dirty “this is what it lets you do” video
  • get a haircut
  • get some plugin work done

Let's do this! 🤙🏼

So I'm working on another #macOS app that adds #Shortcuts support to apps that don't have them. Namely… to all of them. 😅

UI Actions adds #ShortcutsApp actions for selecting/showing menus, clicking buttons, hitting keys, typing text. It's a very reduced set of functions right now but I wanted to get the beta out of the door, and “perfect” is the enemy of "ever”.

macOS 13.3+. The public beta opens (checks watch) now. And here's the website:
