Vala’s character in Stargate gets much better in season 10. Too bad that’s all she gets 😔

What would be the downside if they just let the Instagram app run on macOS? It would certainly solve all of my issues with live streaming to it or filming Reels.

I hate that so many companies who are never going to make a native Mac app won't let us run their iOS apps on our Apple Silicon Macintosh computers.

I don't want to learn Final Cut, I want iMovie to support vertical video and maybe get support for audio plugins that work in GarageBand already.

I suggested to the creator of Lyrcs he should add a way to put song metadata and chord/section annotations into the app, and within a couple weeks he did!

This is the Lyric writing app I would make myself. It's a real Mac app (iOS too) that uses regular text files, with a rich UI on top of that for embedding song info.

All the basic features are free, although I suggest paying the small pro subscription, because he's done such a great job.

I think what I really want is for Apple to make an Oura Ring. I'm not as into using a third party device, but the idea of an inconspicuous ring I could wear that would get me all of the Apple Watch health tracking features without the screen or Siri or any of that would be amazing. Especially if the battery life was longer than 24 hours.

Why is that my Elgato capture card would work through the Apple USB-C Multiport Adapter, but not through my Anker hub when there is nothing else plugged into it? I feel like I'm missing something?

Is the USB-C connector the greatest monkey's paw in computer history?

If the EU wants to make everyones lives better, they should make it illegal to sell a cable with a USB-C connector that doesn't support at least USB 3.1.

It's pretty incredible how much mileage we've gotten out of a seven note scale and many many songs using some version of a 1-4 or 1-4-5 progression.

The thing that JetBrains IDEs really fuck up UI wise is that they mix your global IDE settings and project settings into the same panels. I should have a place for project settings and a place for IDE settings. Seems basic?

When a #macOS app supports versions, it's really quite cool and useful. I wish more did.

I know I want to record music and publish it, but I find the whole publishing part a bit confusing.

Should I put out a single first? If I put up a single on streaming and then want to add that as a part of an EP, is that easy to do?

Logic Pro 11 looks great. I'm definitely going to try the new session musician features, although ultimately, I suspect I'd rather play my own instruments and have them be a little less perfect but more my own. Who knows though, maybe the bass player is amazing.

I think I might switch to a mechanical watch.

Something is either up with me or with new Star Trek, but I have been weirdly on the side of the grumpy captains we aren’t supposed to be siding with lately.

I am a fan of Star Trek Discovery, but even I can admit that some of the writing has always been a bit weak. When it’s good it’s really good, but when it’s not it’s like head scratching bad.

I know this is definitely dreaming too big, but an iPad Pro with two ports would definitely make it a little more “pro.”

As of now, if I have any piece of hardware which can’t be reliably, used through a hub, I can’t do whatever I’m trying to do on my iPad.

Wait. iPadOS 17 supports external cameras but apps have to opt in? And on top of that the system camera app doesn't even support it? Are you fucking kidding me?

I got to season 9 of Stargate and man I do not like Vala so far.

Do you have any kind of organizational scheme for your iCloud Drive folder? Part me wonders if I should have a top level folder I put all of my documents under so my root is just the app directories, downloads, and that.

I basically never want to see the app folders if I don’t have to.

Once or twice my Dad got mad at me growing for spending so much time on the computer and said “are you just gonna spend your whole life on the computer!?”

I can now say confidently that the answer is, yeah, pretty much.

Stargate must have the highest clip show per capita of any show ever put on tv.

If Apple didn’t already have iWork, Final Cut, or Logic, would they make them now? Kind of hard to imagine that kind of investment in new software from them. What even comes close in the last fifteen years?

The guy who makes this lyric writing app, which is basically the app I would make, has been super responsive to my suggestions, going back and forth with me, and is implementing them in really nice ways.

Is this what being a project manager is like? If so, I want in 😂
