That's been my white whale bug to fix. It's actually wired up, which you can see in the main menu, but isn't reliable. I hope that a fix will ship soon, and if I remember, I'll let you know when it does.

Quitting the app or closing its last window is taken as a signal that you’re done for now, so the menu extra will lock as well. And you can lock the Passwords app or its menu extra any time with ⌘L.

"Trump says US will blockade the Strait of Hormuz"

That's an interesting way of getting the strait re-opened.

New to macOS 26.4, the menu extra for the Passwords app shares its unlock state with the full app. So if you use Touch ID or your Mac password to unlock the menu extra and then go to add a new password or open an item in the full app, you won't have to authenticate again to unlock the app.

Yes, the Grink was there. I'm getting to that. He was on that island with me. And I wouldn't be alive to tell my story without him.

A drawing of a Muppet-y Cloud Strife riding on a Big-Bird-like chocobo.

From this day in 2021: My nephews were curious about Final Fantasy after seeing a Moogle I drew and I described Chocobos as looking "kind of like Big Bird" so then I had to draw it.

Okay so you might see this video with the audio muted. Now imagine how the music must sound like. I urge you to unmute and listen to what it's actually like because I guarantee you you're not prepared for it.

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little."

‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.”

So a napkin is a little tablecloth.

Magic Links Have Rough Edges, but Passkeys Can Smooth Them Over Magic links, those emailed one-time login links, are annoying and inconvenient for folks who use a password manager, but they radically accept some fundamental truths about signing in for everyone else. By layering passkeys on top of magic links, websites can provide a seamless authentication experience for all users.

My answer to this question is complicated, but given that you posted this, you might enjoy it. rmondello.com/2025/01/02/m...

LinkedIn secretly scans for 6,000+ Chrome extensions, collects data A new report dubbed "BrowserGate" warns that Microsoft's LinkedIn is using hidden JavaScript scripts on its website to scan visitors' browsers for installed extensions and collect device data.

Wow. Besides this being really bad on LinkedIn's part, it also reveals part of one of the fundamental flaws around web extensions. www.bleepingcomputer.com/news...

I don't know how anyone else feels about this, but to me, sharing a screenshot of chatbot output to make a point of some kind is an excellent way to undermine any credibility that might otherwise be granted to you in the context of whatever you're trying to say.

“Writing is the fundamental form of human expression and ceding jurisdiction over the written word to plagiarism machines is the death of the human mind.” is now load-bearing for me.

San Diego woman says her credit card information was stolen while she was in ICE custody Hanne Engan, whom ICE arrested at her green card appointment, said her diabetes quickly escalated while at Otay Mesa Detention Center due to medical negligence. Written by Kate Morrissey, Edited...

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

"CEO Said A Thing!" Journalism "CEO said a thing!" journalism involves parroting the claims of a business leader or executive with absolutely no context, correction, or challenge whatsoever, no matter how elaborate the delusion.

great article about the failure of the US media chomping at the bit and believing every single piece of bullshit said by CEOs and the billionaire class

Setup, backup, and login are nouns.

Begin Setup
Your login attempt
See Latest Backup

They can also be adjectives:

Setup Assistant
Login Window
Backup Procedure

They are NOT verbs:

I setup my account
First, login here
How can I backup?

Set up, back up, and log in are verbs.

Let’s set up your account
Click here to log in
Back Up Now


An easy way to test for this:
put it in the past tense. If setup was a single-word verb, you would (goofily) say:

I setupped my account.
Next, I loginned.
When I backupped,

These are just three such verbs that include a preposition; there are many more. You know the difference between nouns and verbs. You can do this.

So many apps and websites out there get this wrong (given their focus on such verbs) that I finally sitdowned, rollupped my sleeves, and speakupped in visual form. A sign for me to tap in the future!

Feb 3 2025: Musk tweets about putting USAID "into the wood chipper" which led to hundreds of thousands of deaths.

Later that day Zuckerberg texted Musk to say he would censor content threatening DOGE & "Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help." Actively helping destroy govt agencies.
