Genuinely proud to see so many people out protesting in spite of the risk. But please do remember that protests that pose no direct threat may amount to very little. If people keep this up and perform a general strike, this whole ship would turn around a lot faster. But if tomorrow things go back to the way they were, the nationwide protests will have amounted primarily to camaraderie. Which is still something, but that alone will not reverse this. Voting will not fix this either.

đ Mushrooms are kinda cute even if you donât like them. (I donât like them.)
T-shirt also available (small, pocket placement)
The line between Control Center and Notification Center continues to be blurred. Some controls feel like they should be widgets. Now Playing isnât a widget? (macOS) Why not? Why is WiFi status any different from Weather? Why separate Clock from Battery? Any distinction you could make (status vs action, computer vs environment) is effectively arbitrary at this point and no one could reach consensus on this.
a new hope 
the phenomenon of cycling thru all the wrong options:
- parent calling their child by another child's name
- opening the wrong app for calculator / calendar / clock
- focusing on the wrong browser window among the infinite you have open
etc.
đď¸ A symbol for a secret society. No one knows which one.
T-shirt also available for those who want to join said secret society.
Now that macOS Tahoe lets you choose an SF Symbol to stamp on the front of a folderâ how is that they didnât take this opportunity for the Finder sidebar to show that SF Symbol if you pin that folder?? (???)
It seems pretty obvious to me.
Iâm not crazy, right? Currently if you drag a .icon file made with Icon Composer onto a folder or app to change the icon, it just shows the ICON FILETYPE instead of the actual icon artwork?
Brilliant work, guys.
Hmâ Dropbox âunexpectedly quitsâ on macOS Tahoe. I havenât seen anyone talk about it crashing on launch.
