14 years. I swear sometimes Apple isn’t a serious company.

Is it just me that feels a bit bitter when Apple releases (or is about to release) new iPad hardware?
I used to get excited for new iPads. But then I remember iPadOS and go back to my Mac.

@cliophate I've had similar experiences as well recently. It seems if you want to be excited about technology, then Apple isn't the best place for that at the moment.

@neilgmacy Exactly that.

As soon as iOS gets RCS support i'm pretty sure I'll be switching to android for a while

I wish there was some kind of 10% tax you could add to any product to just pass it through teenage engineering’s design team

The most annoying part about transforming my personal Mac with yabai, skhd, sketchybar, etc. is that I can't do the same on my work machine. 😅

@jon i didn't realise half of those were swear words

Another day, another bash script using fzf to make my life easier.

Starting to really like the feel of my Mac. Latest addition was SketchyBar (https://felixkratz.github.io/SketchyBar/) which I'm sure I'll start to customise, but the fact it shows me my current workspace number is already super useful for me.

Another great tool is skhd (https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd), which is a hotkey daemon for Mac. It's especially great for controlling things like yabai. Here's my keybinds for moving focus to different spaces, and also moving applications between spaces.

I’m never really a fan of covers, but Royel Otis' cover of Linger by The Cranberries is incredible. Feels like going back to the 90s/00s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGUVB19e13s

I think my Mac is becoming more and more “linux inspired” by the day. I’ve got yabai installed as my tiled window manager, alacritty as my terminal, dmenu-mac as my application launcher, and I also live in the terminal using tmux, neovim, and a bunch of custom scripts.
What’s next?

I’ve been playing around with bash scripts today. Most recent is one that uses fzf to list alacritty themes, and then lets me change it without editing the config file manually.

I've started adding scripts I use here: https://github.com/chrishannah/scripts

It’s saturday, and I’ve got nothing to do until Arsenal play in around 8 hours. So I’m pretty sure that means I’m going to have to build something. What I want, is a quick way to post a micro post to my eleventy blog via the CLI. But I’m not sure what route to go down. A complex shell script? Maybe a custom Neovim plugin, or go all out and build a tool that uses the GitHub REST API?

One way or another, it always goes back to GUI scripting in the end.

@viticci The only thing that pops into my head is ”Apple Siri Shortcuts Script” 😜
That won’t cause any confusion!

Thanks to @robb, my website now shows you what good (or bad) music I'm currently listening to.

Next thing I want to add to my site is a little section to show what i'm currently listening to. Not sure how I'd like the data to be fed into it, but I think it would be a fun thing to have.

I've got a little 1 hour meeting coming up, maybe I can get it done then. 😅

@robb is there a way to use a custom emoji/icon instead of the 🎧?
