Re: why set an alarm type reminder

It allows you to set an alarm more than 24 hours in advance. In my job, I often have deliverables for other countries, leading to tasks that must happen in the middle of the night. Previously, I had to set reminders for the night before that told me nothing other than “set an alarm for this time”

Now I can set it and forget it, many days in advance. Not everyone has this use case or anything similar, but it is crazy useful for me.

My mother’s funeral was yesterday. Many people have done everything they can to make it easier.

But let me say this: I believe that there is a spot in Hell reserved for those who use a funeral as their opportunity for self-aggrandizement or political grandstanding.

I was appalled.

On this Kentucky Derby day, here’s your reminder that Secretariat was faster than any horse who has ever lived. The year is 1973 and this is his track record run. Untouched for 53 years. The GOAT.
Shortcuts is the single most infuriating piece of software Apple has ever written.

@jsnell I know you were proud of your performance on Jeopardy! (and you should be!)

But each and every day Jamie makes your performance more and more impressive.

Rooting for you to get a second chance.

@siracusa Thanks to you, my wife is now referring to this as the “penis truck.”
Few things make me as happy as an absolutely heart-breaking, soul-shattering Duke loss.
Does anyone know an incantation of app launches/vpn initialization that will fool mlb.com app on Apple TV? I had a recipe for last year, but the same steps don’t seem to be working this year.
This has been a week of support tickets from people with weird OS and app versions installed. How do you even end up on macOS 14.0 in this day and age? No, not 14.8.5 or anything-literally 14.0

@stephenrobles I know that you (and hopefully some people who see this post) implemented the “Jason Snell convert .webpage graphics to .jpeg” automation using a shell script. So did I.

Have you started receiving notifications about recursive behavior in 26.4? I get them even when my shell script finds ZERO .webp graphics, and should theoretically do nothing.
