(*) not necessarily in that order. Depends.

I'm usually building websites at the speed of life when I'm not cycling, boating or hiking somewhere.
Amongst others things, I enjoy photography, contemporary dance and arts, hanging out on the lake and messing with technology in its various forms and shapes.

Big news!
I'm launching a tiny Mac app 🥺🔍🤏

 It's called TinyStart, and it's a lightweight Launcher and Emoji picker for macOS!

Unlike Spotlight, TinyStart is super fast at showing results and launching apps. It never becomes overcrowded with search results you don't need, and it lets you open URLs, perform web searches with custom search engines, and quickly open folders in Finder.

Oh and yes, I think the Emoji picker is pretty good too. It's everything the default macOS Emoji picker isn't: it's fast, it lets you insert Emojis in any text field, it isn't picky about keywords, and it learns your favorite Emojis over time.

Get TinyStart at https://tinystart.app: it's €5, you pay for it once and future updates are free!

also I made a lil' video to show you what it looks like:

Happy april fool's day! 🥳🥴 Unfortunately, the reality of GDPR enforcement is so dire that we don't even need to make up a joke.

🧑‍💻 A recent noyb analysis showed that only 1.3% of cases before EU DPAs result in a fine - while privacy professionals say that they are the most effective enforcement measure.

A Web Day Out in Brighton

I'm in Brighton, and it's blowing a gale outside. The air is fresh and salty and I'm gliding back to my hotel room 50cm above ground, my mind still high on the day's vibes.

Here's one for the icons-in-menus haters on macOS Tahoe:

defaults write -g NSMenuEnableActionImages -bool NO

It even preserves the couple of instances you do want icons, like for window zoom/resize

"[…] this [is] to enable a “seamless travel experience”, while also giving the #ukgov “greater power to stop those who pose a threat from setting foot in the country and gives us a fuller picture of immigration.”

Yes, of course #ftl #dysfunctional #bollocks
