@marcoarment I am probably in the minority. But I still donโ€™t think you are charging enough for the value the app provides ๐Ÿ˜„. Thank you.

Loved Tweetbot and have opted out of the refund. I hope both these companies are able to ride out this challenging time.

But I have the same question as @mjtsai: how does this user action help avoid the refund? Does clicking on that โ€œI donโ€™t want a refundโ€ button let Apple know not to process the refund for that app?

Nice set of tips for macOS by the fine folks at Git Tower.

I wish they mentioned Shortcuts and indicated that Automator, while functional, is eventually going away. Regardless, the article has a nice set of tips.

Mastering macOS

We asked around the office and put together a comprehensive list of the best macOS tips and tricks worth knowing.

I've been wailing on about SPA frameworks recently (like a lot of us have, probably because we've found more of our people over here) but just to be clear:

The world sucks right now. Get a job where you can. If React or Vue or Angular or Next or whatever gets you a job, then that is absolutely fantastic. If you are new in web dev and it introduces you to a love for the web, that is also fantastic.

My book about keyboards, Shift Happens, is now on Kickstarter!

There is all sorts of new information about it, and a video, and what I think are very cool tiers and rewards on top of a very cool book.

Please back and spread the word!

Google used to take pride in minimizing time we spent there, guiding us to relevant pages as quickly as possible. Over time, they tried to answer everything themselves: longer snippets, inline FAQs, search results full of knowledge panels.

Today's Bard announcement feels like their natural evolution: extracting all value out of the internet for themselves, burying pages at the bottom of each GPT-generated essay like footnotes. https://blog.google/technology/ai/bard-google-ai-search-updates/

An important next step on our AI journey

Introducing Bard, Google's experimental conversational AI service powered by LaMDA โ€” plus, new AI features in Search coming soon.

We all admire Amsterdam for having the vision to replace car infrastructure with bike infrastructure. We see the positive uplift in small business activity, and livability. ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฟ

Now imagine doing that in reverse. Replace relatively safely walkable and bikeable infrastructure with car infrastructure. In fact, put in freeways. Demolish entire thriving wealthy neighborhoods with freeways that don't serve the neighborhood.๐Ÿ™ƒ

That's what we did to Black folk. That's how we destroyed Black wealth.

Even the Tweetbot memorial page is better designed than anything coming out of Twitter.
