@kylewritescode Technically, no. But it has something called mono styles that changes the text and puts it into a coloured box. I added colour using cmd+T to enable colour formatting.

@kylewritescode I can still edit the code within the box.

I've decided to join the challenge.

I am working through Dr. Angela Yu’s Complete 2023 Web Development Bootcamp course.

I will be posting daily updates on my website's journal page. Here is the first post - https://codemaclife.com/100-days-of-code-day-1/.

U.S. v. Google: Apple Never Seriously Considered Switching to Bing https://www.thurrott.com/cloud/microsoft-consumer-services/bing/289930/u-s-v-google-apple-never-seriously-considered-switching-to-bing?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

@thurrott Just like the comments, I use DDG. I’ve started to play with StartPage and Brave search to see how different their search results are compared to DDG. As much as I like Apple products, I’m not a fan of their politics, even if it gets them to where they are today.

The urge to delete Facebook, grows.

I only friend people that I know and after the pandemic, I didn't know many people, left (many passed away).

As a Meta employee, I ended up blocking family members. In the beginning, having the ability to blindly see everything posted by everyone regardless of their permission settings was "something."

These days, my person account is only used to help moderate a few community groups and Facebook challenges me more often, just to sign in.

@Linux_Is_Best I have Facebook but I don’t use it. I certainly don’t post on it. I have access to a local community group. If anything, I have it to appease family members. I don’t see the point of Facebook anymore.

CodeMacLife,
@CodeMacLife@allthingstech.social avatar

@Linux_Is_Best That’s good. I get frustrated that my friends’ posts are buried between ads, random news articles and video feeds.

All I wanted to do was follow friends and family. Now it is a mission to see what is going on.

It has been 222 days since I started using Twos App ✌️ Here is my honest reflection with my time on Twos.
It is a digital bullet journal with a social network element to it. Please remember to use my referral code - https://www.TwosApp.com?code=codemaclife for 200 extra coins to purchase PRO feature on the mobile app.

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone in the today!

For the today, tell me about your day ahead and what you hope to accomplish, be it personal stuff or work related stuff.

For me, not much of anything really. Just going to rest, relax and enjoy the day as much as possible.

@cliffwade Good morning. It's 15:34 here in England. I've been writing a blog about my sugar free month. I'm also organising my notes between Upnote and Apple Notes.

CodeMacLife,
@CodeMacLife@allthingstech.social avatar

@cliffwade I have other jobs on before I can sit down properly to write it. Part of my post is about sugary food zapping our energy and mood.

Linux_Is_Best, to Samsung

I am debating if my next smartwatch should be a Samsung or Apple.

My phone is neither. lol

The problem with Google Fit is it does a fine job on keeping track of my steps, but the miles keep resetting.

I'll do 30,000+ steps (13.5 miles) and Google Fit will say I did some nonsense like 00.2 miles.

@Linux_Is_Best Personally, I have an Apple Watch SE with my iPhone 12. I love the watch and the activity missions that come with it. Apple Fitness+ was great when I had a six-month free subscription to it. The full ecosystem is expensive but I’ve found so much value to my watch, especially when organising my day. Go with what suits your needs.

CodeMacLife,
@CodeMacLife@allthingstech.social avatar

@Linux_Is_Best Stick with Samsung then. Their watches look great.

I noticed the Threads app was taking a hit on my battery. It was one of the reasons I uninstalled it.

@majorlinux Of course. I heard the app doesn’t really work properly with iOS 17 beta.

@matt I’m on Bluesky but there hardly any engagement. I don’t really use the platform now.

Not a huge fan of it’s already warn off me 😂😂😂

CodeMacLife,
@CodeMacLife@allthingstech.social avatar

@og I’ve uninstalled the app. It’s not ready for what I want to see. I’m sure the features will come eventually. Fingers crossed for a web version of Threads.

Good morning to all of you amazing folks around the today.

For the today, tell me about your day and if you've found anything of interest during Prime Day on Amazon.

For me, it's just a day of work and a relaxing day of video games hopefully.

CodeMacLife,
@CodeMacLife@allthingstech.social avatar

@cliffwade I’m the same.
