PSA: Did you know that it’s **unsafe** to put code diffs into your commit messages?
Like https://github.com/i3/i3/pull/6564 for example
Such diffs will be applied by patch(1) (also git-am(1)) as part of the code change!
This is how a sleep(1) made it into i3 4.25-2 in Debian unstable.
Noticed Slack is either no longer or not consistently including emoji in the accessibility value when sending messages. It worked a week ago when I last tested. If this sticks, my Mac app won’t be able to preserve emoji when interacting with Slack 😕

Turns out that if you copy text from OneNote and paste it into something that can accept either text or images, it decides you must want a bitmap rendering of your text. I pasted the text into this posting box and got the image, then pasted it again into the image's alt text and got text. Incredible. 0/10 ux, principle of least astonishment maximally violated
When dictating, it looks like the "that" used in such commands like "put quotes around that", "put parentheses around that" refers to the last uttered insertion by default if you don't have a selection. This provides a useful way to insert a quote or parenthetical clause more ergonomically, if you can say it all in one go.
A couple of useful shortcuts in messages: cmd-e to edit your last message, cmd-t followed by 1-6 to send a tapback. (these work on all three platforms, including macOS.)
It seems to be limited by what the operating system itself supports, which is logical. So you can quit and switch apps (command–tab) on iPadOS but not iOS.
You can speak keyboard shortcuts to access functionality that isn't exposed easily by voice, or Shortcut actions. For example: increasing or decreasing the text size in Safari ("press command plus key" / "press command minus key"), quitting apps on iPadOS ("press command W key")

@overcastfm looks like if "scrubber on lock screen" is disabled, Overcast also no longer responds to the system "Seek" shortcut action, which seems like an oversight
