@mikeschmitz Mastodon to the rescue! After adding the #mailmate hashtag, I scrolled through other tagged posts and found this one in German that walked me through the process.
Icons in macOS 26: Kampf gegen das "Squircle"-Gefängnis Apple hat die Form seiner App-Icons in macOS 26 alias Tahoe überarbeitet. Halten sich Apps nicht daran, gibt es einen optischen Eingriff. Das hilft dagegen. https://www.heise.de/news/Icons-in-macOS-26-Kampf-gegen-das-Squircle-Gefaengnis-11073775.html?wt_mc=sm.red.ho.mastodon.mastodon.md_beitraege.md_beitraege&utm_source=mastodon #Apple #Design #IT #macOS #Mobiles #news
Mastodon is 100% the early days of social media all over. Some of you will already be familiar with this story.
My weather station (a very nice Netatmo that has served very well) crapped out after nearly 10 years of excellent service. I asked for recommendations here for a new station that would play nicely with #HomeAssistant, and hopefully, also HomeKit. I received *many* recommendations, with Ecowitt (and the brands it manufactures for) taking the lead.
A connection on here offered me their *unopened* Ecowitt weather station for a very generous price. It arrived yesterday, and I set it up, and it's already doing a great job. Works offline, talks to Home Assistant without any problems. I just need to do a couple of bits of configuration jiggery-pokery and it will pass data to HomeKit.
This is very much how things were when I first joined Twitter in 2007. In spite of attempts at #enshittification of everything, the #fediverse is putting up a good fight.
May your day online be as satisfying as mine was yesterday.
LATER EDIT: I’ve been thinking, and I do realise this good experience isn’t necessarily what happens for everyone. It’s still the case that too many good people don’t find a welcoming place here, especially if they are queer or of color. If this is you, know that I see you, and that I will always try to be welcoming and listening, even if you have things to say that bring me discomfort.
@lord My first impression was the MT3 keycap profile was that I hated them. I literally put them back in the box. They give so much tactile feedback about where your fingers are on the key that I initially found it quite distracting. After a few days, I tried again and came to strongly prefer them for the same reason! The bowl shape of each key keeps fingers centered. The F and J are scooped slightly deeper to help locate the home row without using the nubs.
Anyone remember [Quicksilver](https://qsapp.com)?
If you've had an itch that you can't scratch with current launchers, then [Tuna](https://tunaformac.com) from @mikker might be for you.
Video walkthrough is great too - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkm-ZFlivyI
