Amazing how I can have 32GB sitting in the system's Trash in 2024.

@ctietze wow thatโ€™s not very much. My entire system is trash. Itโ€™s called macOS

Maybe I'm cynic.

But a phone that's US$1000+ is an ... interesting Father's Day gift.

As would be handing over a thousand bucks.

It's that time of year again when we get a collection of 'WWDC Wishlists'... I don't really have one of those instead I have 3 little weird wishes for WWDC.

  • The cellular data dialog could make it easier to find the app needing data,
  • the Apple Watch could show when it is fast charging,
  • and a less squelchy Optic ID sound on visionOS.

Screenshot of a smartwatch display showing a battery charging screen. At the top right, there is a lightning bolt icon next to the time, which reads 8:58. In the center, a circular progress bar indicates the battery level at 44%, with the text "Charging to full."

Swift concurrency hack for passing non-sendable closures: Uncheck yourself before you wreck yourself

waiting for @mattiem to tell me Iโ€™m wrong ๐Ÿ˜…

@jsq@mastodon.social avatar

@mattiem huh, wow that works. much simpler.

I'm not sure how/why I didn't try this.

Maybe I didn't realize you could do @\Sendable and @\MainActor together.

Will this break in Swift 6?

Another case of Screen Time working flawlessly ๐Ÿ™„

The โ€œDeveloperโ€ app opened when I clicked on a WWDC video link (because of universal links).

I immediately quit the app and opened the link in a browser.

And yetโ€ฆ Screen Time reports 14h of usage. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Between naming their digital assistant after the rampant AI from Halo, and naming their screen recording feature after the corrupt Rekall corporation from Total Recall, how long before Microsoft just says "fuck it" and ships the Torment Nexus as a service?

I went on a bike ride for the first time sinceโ€ฆ probably university?

Took a while to muster the courage to ride in a city with actual cars. I grew up in the suburbs of the middle of nowhere so this was much different. I chose Sunday night because probably itโ€™s the emptiest it will be.

Had a good time. Wouldnโ€™t mind commuting like this on days where itโ€™s not too hot and not raining.

Teeny tiny little Swift compiler PR today. First in years.

I hadn't realized it'd been quite so long, but one of the things that happened for me when the pandemic hit was (because stress?) I started running low on Brain, which had previously been in abundant supply. So I had to save it for actual work, instead of hobby projects.

@gregtitus I too suffer from โ€œlow on Brainโ€
