I post nothing of any value to anyone: stream of consciousness, bad opinions, frustrations, playlists that no one else will listen to.

My opinions are those of your employer.

Alt text because this is the absolute stupidest shit I’ve ever read, and I can just picture the exact person who thinks this is their rule for life.

I stopped in at the Jewish bakery on my way home last night. Someone had stuck a bunch of ‘free Palestine’ stickers around.
Come on folks. Jewish people are not responsible for the actions of the Israeli state. I cannot get my head around how this is hard to understand.
Anyway, my Beigel was incredible. Even if the service is consistently, charmingly, terrible.

Hmmm. I don’t know how I feel about NWA being used to advertise scrumpy.

Do you “click” a link/button or “tap” it on a touchscreen?

I can’t help but say “click” like the good ol days.

@whatthecj ‘Click’ was verboten when I sold Apple stuff, so I say tap and find it a bit jarring when people say ‘click’. But I don’t hold it against anyone. I think click is understood widely enough, and the distinction was mainly a marketing one at the time.

@whatthecj It didn’t annoy me as much as a colleague who would always incorrectly apostrophise iMacs.

@briansuda Which market? Global lumber market? The international market in smuggling endangered animals?

Had fun this evening patching the Instagram app on a jailbroken device to remove ads/sponsored posts from the main feed. It even shows a count at the top of how many ads have been removed 😄

@simonbs Id love a blog or video on this if you have the time to share. I find this kind of thing fascinating.

Any ideas why maps will no longer give me spoken directions? They appear to be enabled in settings.

@jeffwatkins I think I’d get kicked from my server if I told you.

@jeffwatkins You have HomeKit powered blinds?

@jandamm hmm. I don’t think this matches what I’m seeing.

RobW,

@jandamm I do not see that at all! Something seems very strange.

I just attempted to take a drink out of a yogurt container full of ethernet cable plugs, if you're wondering how my morning is going.

@designatednerd I hear drinking Ethernet is the new alternative to injecting 5g.

I keep seeing links to posts on moba11y.com and thinking ’I don’t remember writing that.’
Anyway, nice work to whoever is writing that blog.

Maybe it would be nice if their url wasn’t quite so close to mine, but I’ve been inactive for years, so I suppose it’s ok.

If you’re fixing a bug in a file that’s practically unreadable, do you clean up all of the code in that file or just the code related to the bug?

RobW,
@RobW@iosdev.space avatar

@ZephyrAuster usually something in between.

One thing I like about Apple Music is that it doesn’t add tracking into sharing URLs meaning I don’t have to remove the tracking before sharing.

Yesterday I put this new bird feeder out filled to the top with bird seed. Today that feeder is already half empty.

Are birds okay??

The same hanging bird feeder half full of safflower seeds and one bird sitting on it feeding.

@annaecook It’s chicks season. They will eat a lot for the next couple of months.

Anyone else ever seen this in the Xcode source control code changes panel? It looks like the line number fell over. 😂

The two stages of writing SwiftUI:

  1. Omg. I love this.
  2. Omg. I hate this with a passion.

@RobW@iosdev.space avatar

@designatednerd I really wish I had made this explicit in my original post as there are a large number of people skipping the part where I say I love SwiftUI. 🙄
