I've always wanted to ask but have never dared to. Now I'm feeling up to it.

Is there any way to swap / change icons of these output devices on macOS?

The Sennheiser are my headphones and the Soundcore is my speaker, but in the status bar they invariably have the wrong icon.

@jpmens If you click on the (i) symbol of the device (in the bluetooth menu), you can change device type (apparaattype).perhaps this changes the icon too?

doekman,
@doekman@mastodon.nl avatar

@jpmens You're right, it's not possible. You could reset your bluetooth system, and hope it detects them correctly this time.

Or perhaps fiddle with the plist, and swap DeviceClass?

/Library/Bluetooth/Library/Preferences/com.apple.MobileBluetooth.devices.plist

@jpmens Interesting. Still no alternative for signing git commits? That's the only thing I use GPG for I think…

@gruber Has your code for markdown generation changed? It looks like every code block on your MarkDown syntax page starts with an extra space.

@ivory When I want to drag a link from a toot to a browser, the whole toot is dragged.

I'm doing this mostly when I want to open a link in a non-default browser. Left-click + Copy link does work, but then I need to reach for my keyboard. No biggie, but you might have missed this…

Every few weeks the same thing with Signal for Mac. Same for WhatsApp. Only iMessage gets this right and treats non-phone devices as first-class clients that can actually log in on their own.

@gruber I liked the previous WhatsApp client better.

And it’s a bloody shame nobody is using Messages (outside the us that is)

    @jpmens Excellent work! You could go the extra mile by using pbcopy when there is only one result…

    @jpmens BTW: you do know Safari also supports OTP via preferences > passwords?

    doekman,
    @doekman@mastodon.nl avatar

    @jpmens Yeah, I’ve migrated from Authy. Since I use keychain for passwords, I might as wel use it for otp. It’s not always seemless, but it works. Not sure if the otp’s are exportable…

    doekman,
    @doekman@mastodon.nl avatar

    @jpmens I keep a copy of my Authy export, but it might be a problem for new codes. However, it’s easy to reset 2fa on most services (and I found out at least 4 accounts disabled 2fa without my prior knowledge, which did shock me a bit)

    @ivory Do you have alternative's for iCloud syncing planned? I would pay for it.
    Otherwise I think of stop using the MacOS app, since syncing is messed up to often between iPhone, iPad and iMac…

    doekman,
    @doekman@mastodon.nl avatar

    @ivory I find it offensive to state iCloud is working well. Not for me at least! My biggest complaint is Timeline position is not remembered correctly between devices. Sync status gives an error, see screenshot.

    I opened my phone this morning and the timeline starts at a couple of days ago. I read my toots on my iPad this weekend, so that is not a correct timeline position. Finding the last read message on my iPad is not too bad, but it takes one or two minutes. But this happens a lot to me.

    doekman,
    @doekman@mastodon.nl avatar

    @ivory I've read the help text (see URL below), and I must conclude Apple is having iCloud issues.

    https://tapbots.com/support/ivory/general/icloud

    doekman,
    @doekman@mastodon.nl avatar

    @ivory I know it's not related to Ivory directly. But it impacts me, and it will impact Ivory when I won't extend my Mac subscription. That's why I made the case for an alternative to iCloud. But I totally understand when you don't consider this.

    @b0rk An honest question: why is it people make commits to git while writing, but when publishing (before pushing probably) they have to refactor the commits into other commits?

    It's puzzling to me, why rewrite history?

    doekman,
    @doekman@mastodon.nl avatar

    @b0rk So is it correct your tiny commits are changes that produce working code: these are like snapshots, so you can go back when things don't work out?

    It's my Ivoryversary -- a year of using @ivory (or at least a year of paying for it, according to the subscription renewal email I got just now).

    What can I say? It was a very good Mastodon client a year ago, it's a very good Mastodon client now. 'nuff said.

    @doekman@mastodon.nl avatar

    @ivory Same goes for iPad I presume?

    I know people don't like but honestly without I don't know how I would organize either my personal or work life. It's my favorite "track work" tool I've ever used.

    @b0rk Your tip “commands that start with a space don’t go in your history. Good if
    there's a password” doesn't seem to be true on MacOS with Bash 5

    @duco @b0rk So it's a zsh-tip, not a bash-tip, don't you think?

    HEAD and heads

    doekman,
    @doekman@mastodon.nl avatar

    @b0rk The fact that git uses the term "heads” might explain why “branches” are so confusing as a a concept. “heads" is pretty clear what it is, but it doen't help a lot when using git. Does that make sense?

    [poll] how do you think of a git commit?

    (sorry, you can't pick “it’s all 3”, I'm curious about which one feels most true to you)

    doekman,
    @doekman@mastodon.nl avatar

    @b0rk I thought a commit contains the files that changed, and which are deleted and other meta data changes…
