@bigzaphod Does verbose boot still exist? It’s Command-V during startup on Intel Macs. It might show where it’s hanging

@castropodcasts Very nice, thanks. Some interesting info, but it doesn't cover everything I'd like to see. Is there a way to get at the raw data? I'd really like to see a graph of the number of minutes listened each day.

I'm also not sure where to look at the info again now that I've closed it.

Oof. I just got an email from Apple saying my Castro subscription is increasing from £7.99 to £24.99 per year.

Without such a dramatic increase, I probably wouldn't have given it a second thought, but I wonder whether the price is justified for my fairly basic needs. I've been subscribed for so long, i don't even know what's included without Castro Plus.

@rmondello I mostly like using Passkeys, but I've encountered an issue several times where something fails and I'm shown the dialog in the attached screenshot. Clicking the cancel button does nothing and I have to force quit STP. Is this a known issue? (I can submit something via Feedback Assistant, but that always feels futile). Thanks

@rmondello It's currently very awkward, but you can do this in iina by adding video-align-y -1 to Settings -> Advanced -> Additional mpv options. (You have to add it and restart iina and then remove it and restart to disable it...)

You can also use video pan to move it up, but that can chop the top off a video. (See Settings -> Keybindings -> mpv Default and search for pan)

Perhaps the merging of Apple Accounts not rolling out to the UK (yet?) was a blessing after all.

@lapcatsoftware I'd forgotten about that, but I have a feeling I tried it and found that few sites were marked up well enough.

I tend to block using something like <container I want to hide>:has(a[href*="twitter"]) and a Hide Page Element that could filter using part of a URL might be nice

@lapcatsoftware I'm not sure if this is quite what people are asking for, but it sounds like one of my favourite uses for StopTheMadness. I use site-specific CSS to remove things from the home pages of (mostly) news sites, e.g. the article cards on the home page of Ars Technica. I can often tell something's missing, but it helps me avoid certain topics. I'd love to not need to write the CSS myself, but can't see how it could be automated well

@bigzaphod I haven't read the manga, so I'm not sure how faithful the series is, but I imagine it's because it's based on a manga created by a single person. From what I know of manga, they tend to have a single creator with people helping with busywork, so the vision is one person's. (I could be totally wrong.)
