@andy I usually listen to #ThisWeekInTech and #MacBreakWeekly, by @leo , and I’m sure @macsparky will have something to say about it in #MacPowerUsers even when it’s not about news/events.

Give them a try.

You gotta love the thrill of @mpu. #MacPowerUsers #Podcast

This is an app that solves one of my main annoyances with macOS. I have multiple possibilities for output and input sound sources for my Mac and I do HATE having to fiddle in the macOS Sound applet. The SoundSource app from the awesome devs at @RogueAmoeba.

I discovered the app through the #MacPowerUsers podcast and immediately purchased a license. This app is exactly what I wanted to manage my sound sources!

Please have a look, you will not regret it!

Quickly play sound bites, audio effects, and music clips on your Mac.

A while ago @macsparky recommended this Anker power bank, and it’s on sale.

In the past month or so, every time I listened to #MacPowerUsers, I’ve had half of a thought stuck in the back of my mind that I couldn’t quite put my finger on.

I’ve finally figured it! Stephen speaks like Noho Hank from #Barry in #HBO !!!

I mean, it’s not the same voice/timbre. But they share the same mannerisms, cadence, and a similar accent!!

Hey David, @macsparky is it a regional California affectation/accent?

701: The Safari Extension Roundup — Mac Power Users

This week, David and Stephen grab their lassos and gather up some of the best Safari extensions out on the free and open range of the App Store.

@macsparky I enjoyed your write-up about start-up and shut-down routines in #TheSweetSetup! You’ve mentioned bits of this over the years on #MacPowerUsers, but having these details all in one place is great.

Organizing my day is a struggle for me—which makes sense in light of an ADHD diagnosis about three years ago. I’m looking forward to reattacking this using this article as a roadmap. Thanks!

Startup and Shutdown Routines – The Sweet Setup

The key is to nail the beginning and the ending, and anything that happens in the middle doesn’t matter so much.

The Sweet Setup

Reading up on #Discourse hosting for the likely upcoming actions.work forum, which I plan to offer as a watering hole for people who want to share tips & tricks for my macOS/iOS apps as well as my #Obsidian plugins.

I thought about asking #Automators or #MacPowerUsers for a sub-forum, but I have apps planned that do not fit that mold.

Plus, I guess as long as you can use your GitHub/Apple/Google/FB account to log in, it's not that much of a hassle.

#ActionsForObsidian #ObsidianMD #PKM

@actionsdotwork I’d join out of curiosity, but I already frequent other broader communities for Shortcuts and automations (like #macpowerusers and #Automators ). Not actively looking for a silo, especially since the power of Shortcuts is how it connects between services and apps.
@marcoarment We heard on #macpowerusers you’re into health and fitness lately… any nice workout app worth trying??
