I still go to the File menu to quit an app if I'm mousing (as opposed to ⌘Q’ing).

@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@gruber When you're mousing, that's OK. But when your hands are keyboard, god no.

My guess is that Sam Altman will not be in the WWDC keynote, but if he is, how awesome would it be if he wears two or three stacked polo shirts?

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@gruber You don't think anyone from OpenAI will be in the keynote, or just not Altman? I'm betting Mira Murati or Greg Brockman.

Due to some personal reasons, I won’t be able to attend in-person WWDC after all. Super jealous of everyone who will be there, and can’t wait to watch it all from home!

How are we this many years into Windows 11 and there's still no quick dark/light mode toggle in the Action Center?

@stroughtonsmith How are we this many years into Windows 11 without auto light/dark mode? (Proof that Windows wasn't designed.)

Lots of people (including Apple) put full-color icons on each top-level row in Settings these days.

I'm experimenting with using monochrome SF Symbols there. I may not ship it this way, but it's kinda fun, and it lets me use the same icons that are used for the corresponding features throughout the rest of the app.

Maybe that improves consistency and understanding, especially since I don't currently have localized strings.

@marcoarment I’m not the biggest fan. Looks a bit bland.

Is it a visionOS bug or a me bug that if you disable a button in a navigation bar it gains a weird hover state? If me, how do you fix it?

@christianselig I've had the same problem. Just in navigation bars too. Very annoying.

My Apple Card is expiring this summer, and the replacement physical card arrived in the mail today. Activating was super-duper easy—just bring it in close proximity to your iPhone and tap a button or two on screen. Done.

But what do I do with the old card? It's titanium so it's not easily destroyed.

I've had metal Amex cards since 2010 or so. When Amex sends a replacement card, they include a return envelope custom made for mailing them your expired card for recycling.

@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@gruber Wasn’t it in the news that Apple is offering free recycling for Apple Cards? Just box it up in the package the new one came in and send it back?

Update: AI will not be a topic at next week’s Apple event. Turns out the paraphrased quote from CNBC was inaccurately characterized. https://9to5mac.com/2024/05/02/tim-cook-confirms-apple-will-discuss-big-plans-for-ai-at-next-weeks-ipad-event/

Apparently Apple Music for Mac has rabid fanbois (they are all men. All of them) and they are on Threads?! Of all the truly shitty products to stan, you want to defend Apple Music on the Mac?! I’ll defend Apple Music on iOS, even tho sync is a shit show, but on the desktop?! Man normies are weird.

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@film_girl I noticed this too. I complained about how you can't close the settings menu with ⌘W on Threads a few weeks ago and the fanbois came after me.

The Music app on macOS feels like an Electron app. It's genuinely abhorrent.

I get a kick out of knowing that ESPN’s CMS uses Markdown. (I’m guessing the author mistakenly put a space between the square brackets and the parentheses.)

@gruber I don't even understand why they ask you to first install the desktop client when you try to set up the iOS one. What are they doing in the background?

🎙️ Been working on an awesome visionOS app that you'd love to show off now that device preorders are only a week away?

Drop it in the replies here; if you'd like to be boosted, include:

1️⃣ a screenshot or video
2️⃣ a link-out to your site or App Store page
3️⃣ use the hashtag

Assume the reader knows nothing about you or your projects: what is your app, what does it do?

Remember you can edit posts if you forget something, and mute the hashtag for a period if you don't want to participate

@stroughtonsmith Little late to this, but I’m bringing my citation creation app for school papers to visionOS. I don’t expect much of a market, but thought I’d share it anyway since there are so few apps on this platform.

Citations lets you make citations in a variety of formats and is completely free. (It’s already available on iOS and macOS.)

I look forward to downloading all of these other amazing indie apps when I get my Vision Pro in a couple weeks! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/citations/id6444069568

Yay, just got access to ChatGPT browsing and the new interface.

Going to have to pit this against Bard’s new model, but it seems promising. ChatGPT Plus customers, go check your accounts!

The new tabbed interface to switch between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. Hitting GPT-4 allows you to select between Default and Browsing.
