@daringfireball I’m a father of 5-year-old Disney/Pixar fanatics. I should be so irradiated from overexposure to Elio ads that I see them with my eyes closed.

I saw two.

One was a trailer ahead of Moana 2. The other was a trailer ahead of Lilo & Stitch (2025).

Unbelievably, I never saw anything about Elio anywhere on Disney+.

On our walk to school there are more billboards for Atsuko Okatsuka’s Hulu special than ads of any kind I’d seen for Elio.

Hulu is owned by Disney!

If you’re looking for a ShaderToy style editor for macOS and Metal/Vulkan try Kodelife.

Or… Steamdeck… apparently.

“Would you like to pay your credit card bill? F**k you! Look at this ad instead.”

These ads are gross and Apple should stop.

@gruber @al3x Lots of OK stuff in the comments here.

If you’re looking for some sanity to you login/launch control behaviors, I recommend Lingon which is both comprehensive and offers a decent GUI.

Lingon is a powerful app to run things automatically on your Mac that is also easy to use

@simonbs I learned a bunch by reading https://thebookofshaders.com

Then using https://github.com/metal-by-example/book-of-shaders-metal to rewrite them in Metal.

I spend a lot of time using Kodelife, too. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kodelife/id1569922579

@daringfireball @gruber Any word if I get charged standard messaging rates for any war plans that get sent to my T1 phone by accident?
