Read our article here to find out what's #new and what users can expect. And: We are providing you with an #ISO image with Plasma 6 as a technical #preview.
Just filed 9 radars to Apple after a long programming session, mostly reporting shortcomings in #visionOS 1. Hopefully some of these will be addressed in June with #visionOS2! 🤞
Time to sleep now – recharging to kick off another new Vision app tomorrow ! 🚀💤
I know that we can change the default userLocation for the simulators, but is there a way in SwiftUI to set that for the #Preview provider? I am working on a new series for the new #MapKit API and would rather not run on Simulator to see it. Currently, I get Apple Park as my location. Can it be changed?
Tomorrow #Threads is coming to #Europe, and I'm more than a little bit curious, how it will play out.
That's where we stand @heiseonline regarding #Traffic from #X/Twitter and its main competitors right now. It's more quick and dirty than my other ones.
Keep in mind, that there's a substantial amount of traffic from #Mastodon, that we currently don't see (because of the #preview cutting of the URL): I'm pretty sure, that Mastodon has already overtaken #Twitter. #Bluesky is far, far behind.
Last November we had the opportunity to attend an exclusive twenty-minute screening of ‘Dune: Part II’, the highly anticipated second installment of the monumental adaptation of Frank Herbert’s science fiction classic that Denis Villeneuve is carrying out. Of course, it is early to give an opinion, but we can assure that...
This article from @jsnell at @sixcolors is spot on! If you are getting started on a #Mac, especially if you are coming from #Microsoft#Windows, don’t install anything! Chances are it’s built in and you don’t need an app at all! The defaults are what I use for the majority of my workflow and they work exceptionally well! And I agree, the Mac needs a clipboard manager! https://apple.news/APFeqn2R-OfyGIxDw5qWu8A
@jsnell@sixcolors A couple of my favorite best kept #Mac secret defaults are:
-Don’t install #Adobe, just use #Preview
-No need to install #Microsoft#Office, just use iWork (#Pages, #Numbers, #Keynote)
-#FaceTime can do what most conferencing apps do, no need for #Zoom or #Teams, including scheduling meetings and sharing screens
-The built in #Dictionary app is crazy helpful and useful, especially if you can’t connect to the internet for a quick word lookup.
Thanks for all the helpful input from people on shifting over to #linux from #windows.
If you handle a lot of files and want to be in the same folder that you opened last time, avoid #flatpacks like the plague. They aren't bad for other programs but if you are sorting and importing or saving a lot of files flatpacks are nothing but a headache.
If you want the effect of windows file explorer's #image#preview side panel that's not the size of a postage stamp, running the split screen, Thunar file explorer and gthumb image viewer sync very well with each other and if you select a file in Thunar, gThumb with automatically pull up the file without prompting. Thunar also has tree layout which is something many file explorers are lacking.
The first video on CRUD operations in my SwiftData series is out. https://youtu.be/CAr_1kcf2_c
if you have seen it, and want immediate access to the entire series, just buy me a ko-fi this week at https://ko-fi.com/StewartLynch and I will send you an email with all the links.
Alterium Shift Preview (Steam Early Access)
For this Alterium Shift Preview, we play a retro-inspired RPG that evokes an instant and recognizable feel for SNES-era JRPGs.
We have seen 20 minutes of 'Dune II' with Villeneuve and we have good news: the expectation is more than justified (www.ruetir.com)
