For the last year I've been semi-daily posting "What I'm Listening To Today" links in this thread:

https://mastodon.social/@mcc/108199886340178151

The thread is now so long it is increasingly breaking Mastodon, so I am making a new thread, starting here.

To recap, here's the entirety of the year-one thread in the most impractical possible format: A YouTube playlist containing 246 songs and running for just over 47 hours:

Does anyone know of an email service, add-on or tutorial that allows for mimicing the one feature that intrigues me about HEY e-mail: opt-in for receiving emails from someone.

i.e. the default would be that someone who is not yet an approved sender ends up in a separate inbox where I have to confirm if I want to keep receiving email from them or not. I think HEY calls this ’the screener’.

Or if you’ve tried this fature and don’t like it, that would be cool to hear about as well.

I made this for @jakesutton, but I also made one just for you.

Thank you for your support.

It really helps people discover the show.

One of the all-time greatest tweets was “tres leches cake? en esta econima?!” but this recipe from the NYT is straight up “fuck it, we’re doing five blades” of desserts

The United States Postal Service is currently funded solely by weird private colleges sending unrequested brochures to high school sophomores.

Bless their hearts.

I can't fathom that this still hasn't been fixed. It's not as if Xcode has a teeny tiny user base and this is an obscure edge case. Every single Swift developer experiences this all the time. It's our IDE failing to communicate whether our codebase could compile or not. That's kind of a biggie.

🤦‍♂️

I'm so glad these little guys are in my life.

They should make more hardware with metal toggle switches because this is so satisfying.

First time making an iced latte and decided to add a few pumps of salted caramel syrup. As you can probably tell from all my recent posts, I’m very much enjoying making espresso-based drinks 😄

Just updated my app for correcting texts using AI to use the new GPT-4o. I’m excited to see if it makes a difference in real world use!

@gruber I’ve not tried Arc, but The Browser Company of New York sure is a classy moniker. Seems to jibe with DF sensibilities.

@siracusa Our TV is on the fritz. We need a good value replacement. Are there review sites that would have (non scammy) recommendations?

@ivory Any ideas what’s up with iCloud here?

doekman, 3 months ago to random

@ivory Do you have alternative's for iCloud syncing planned? I would pay for it.
Otherwise I think of stop using the MacOS app, since syncing is messed up to often between iPhone, iPad and iMac…

@jsnell @siracusa On the subject of Robot or Not, have you read All Systems Red by Martha Wells? I think the audiobook is free of you have an Audible membership.
