The sky here is bright blue! Incredible! The whole sky, lit up.

(It's daytime. It's a joke, though probably not a very good one.)

Not sure if I've shared this before but here's a little UserStyle I wrote to remove the 3 review paywall from Common Sense Media dot org. The site is pretty handy for finding family movies and shows to watch with our daughter. Anyways, enjoy!

@phocks I like the reviews by kid, not 10, this movie is appropriate for 10 hear old kids & I am a very much older kid not 10 but a 10 year old would be able to handle it no problem

Build a Mac app from a Package.swift & it won't even run. Have to add a plist with a bundle name to make it appear...

But then the window's still invisible to VoiceOver, ha, & text input... the system can't see it, just me.

Is it worth the days it's going to take me to work out what else is missing, or do I just set up an Xcode project? That works...

Can't find a single reference to this online. Search sucks now, but maybe nobody's using package manager in Macland?

If you feed AI an MRI, it will happily write a detailed and very convincing diagnosis...

Wow, Apple Store trying to upsell now. Have you thought about a plan? Have you thought about a case?

Tawdry.

Godot Rust or Swift Godot?

Swift'd be fun, but I'd be throwing away Windows & probs Linux builds, & while it can be pretty the 3rd party libraries aren't great. Plus selling my soul to Apple.

I could do with the Rust practice, but there's always the chance I'd lose my mind. One more bad dice roll & it's off to the attic to draw paintings of impossible angles & that one abandoned church steeple in the distance where the howling buzz comes from...

Tricksy.

@mogoh theoretically yes, in practice, in my experience any way, not really.

On Linux it can be done if there are no Appleland specific dependencies, Foundation etc, that's not usually the case, & isn't here I don't think. On Windows last I looked you couldn't have any dependencies at all. I'll see how they both go, I have an open mind. :0110:

Tea by the same guy who made brew, though he's not its current maintainer.

Brew long expletive laden rant edited out ...badly needs replacing.

Maybe Apple could chuck some of those spare car engineers at the problem?

The CEO of WordPress uses his tentacles to extract adrenochrome from you while you sleep & shoots random users in the face while kicking puppies according to internal documents, I hear.

Here's why it's still a good idea to use WordPress for your site...

As problematic as politics is in Australia, I regularly give thanks we have a) a preferential (ranked) voting system so we're not forced to vote strategically for the two big parties; and b) compulsory voting, which dilutes the effect of extremists.

We still have the same problems everyone else has, of the rich and corporate over-influencing politicians, but those two things help moderate that particular evil.

(We need to move on to proportional representation too, as the big parties are down to a third of the vote each now. But that's another story.)

@timrichards third in my list of great things that'll never happen in my lifetime, just behind abolishing the states & becoming a republic.

@timrichards NZ managed a treaty & Maori seats & all sorts of wonders, I'm never certain someone didn't just make them up.

We do already have Hare-Clark in the ACT & Tasmania. That's at least 3 or 4% of Australia right there.

    The ones listed under "quiet" haven't posted anything in a year, sometimes they come back. Sometimes they became one of the sites in the main list.

    One guy going back to work on activitypub stuff at Tumblr next year (some time) (maybe), & only 4,000+ installs & 900+ installs for the federated plugins for all of WordPress.

    Cue people saying "but having no users is good actually".
