If you use Bartender and haven’t received the update with the new code signing certificate, DISABLE UPDATES NOW.

If you updated to anything beyond version 5.0.52, TURN OFF PRIVACY PERMISSIONS TO THE APP and delete it.

Remember, Bartender needs permission to record your screen to work. This can get bad. https://sfba.social/@drahardja/112561678013832666

Say hello to BMBX, a casual internet radio app with a listener-focused design that keeps music front and center.

Now available on the App Store! 🚀

Post AI-apocalypse career options I invested in today:

• HVAC repair

• Electrician: ceiling fan replacement, ZWave controller install

• Electrician 2x: smoke detector central power repair (apparently NEVER worked in this house) 🫠

• Garage door track cleaning and lubrication

• Lawn mowing in 96°F (not advised)

• Dryer disassembly + item recovery (a weighted blanket ripped open and spilled its weight beads, turning the dryer into a maraca)

Does anyone know how other radio streaming apps like Broadcasts and Triode that support discovery features get around App Store Guideline 5.2.3?

My first submission of BMBX was rejected for the following reason:

"Your app contains content or features that may violate the rights of one or more third parties. Specifically, your app provides potentially unauthorized access to third-party audio or video streaming, catalogs, and discovery services.”

Looking for some feedback from #webdev folks.. I'm experimenting with migrating a #nextjs project to Astro. On paper, the site is a great candidate - content-focused (blog, articles) looking for lighter client experience and better dev experience. https://astro.build/

I have a CMS wired up and have started migrating a couple React components. What gotchas are hiding deeper in this project? Where are the common pitfalls with Astro?

It’s pretty fun to get a used cartridge and see what the saves on it might be. This copy of #Tetris DX is going to be a birthday present for one of the kids.

Sorry I crushed your score, Jason 😂

My #AnaloguePocket arrived today. Its simplicity and power is just mind-blowing.

We broke it in properly with my Dr. Mario cartridge.

I need a browser plug-in that removes Medium posts from search results, because hitting a paywall on esoteric programming blogs is soooo frustrating.

I picked up a few #SNES and #NES carts at D-Pad in New Braunfels, TX today. The store is pretty awesome - lots of good games across the 8 and 16 bit eras.

We’re planning to test out the NES Four Score this weekend as a family 🏐⚽️

Microsoft is still the GOAT for drawing attention to details that most users don't care about.

The text on the destructive action button in these system-provided alert dialogs pulses for other people, right? It's almost completely illegible to me, and VERY privileged person in the area of sightedness.

A friendly reminder for folks in the #iOS community who haven't started looking at all the new things announced at #WWDC.

It's okay.

Really.

There's plenty of time, and you can get to it. If you're busy with things like family, work, health, friends, or just doing nothing - that's fine.

You can't get left behind, so don't let the bloggers and big tooters make you feel stressed.

I'm beginning to feel a sense of loss... for Reddit.

In October, I wrote about how much Twitter meant to me. https://th.adde.us/2022/10/28/twitter-pause/

With Reddit's shift in API policy, it now joins the list of proprietary platforms where knowledge can be locked away.

You know that feeling where you find something incredibly fascinating and it pulls you down a rabbit hole?

This blog post started it, and I've been captivated by this person's writing for about an hour. Interesting stuff.

Will macOS 14 be where we get some consistency in system app #UX?

Reminders is a playground of date and time picking explorations. As a user, it's exhausting remembering where to find the right one.
