A screenshot of the part of the accessibility settings with the option of “Require alt text before posting” selected
Reminder: including alt-text on your images is helpful in many ways! It increases accessibility, can add context/detail, makes search more effective, & can improve your reach (a lot of us won’t re-share images without alt-text). If you set it as required in accessibility settings, you can’t forget!
It's also very useful for those who are in scenarios where images simply won't load. There are still almost 200,000 people who use dial-up to connect to the internet, and with speeds that slow, turning images off is essentially mandatory.
I actually don’t think Apple wants the iPad and Mac to be similar at all. Sure, they should rhyme, but iPad and Mac are fundamentally different products — everything on iPad is built for the touch screen to be the primary, if not only, interface. Mouse is secondary. Mac is built for mouse.
How is there a one-click “clear history” button on YouTube, but not a one-click “clear watch later” button?
Because programming languages aren't supposed to correct your code for you. Strict rules exist to enforce predictability. If it silently corrects you, then it creates ambiguity, especially since the comma actually means something.
Interpreters run the code you actually wrote.
I have no idea why forward-delete or YouTube would have been so broken for you, it worked fine for me. Same mouse and keyboard.
As far as the spellcheck is concerned, you have to go into Settings > General > Trackpad & Mouse, and enable right-click for the Magic Mouse. Or use Ctrl+Click.
How has nobody yet highlighted that when #Apple replaced the Launchpad with Spotlight, they forgot to add an uninstall button for apps that came from the App Store?
They still haven't fixed this on macOS 26.4!
I love the liquid glass design, but holy wow the lack of attention to detail is insane!
Terminals, by default, have a size of 80x24 characters.
By setting this 23-lines limit, they guarantee you won’t have to scroll to read it. If the text is longer, a pager is ideal.
You don’t want to dump 277 lines of text to the terminal — especially if the user is actually meant to read it.
So... funny thing about that. There's actually nothing special about typing "license", the interpreter simply defined license as a _sitebuiltins._Printer object.
It's just Python code.
Here's the actual module. It tells you to call license() because the resulting text is more than 23 lines long.
And knowing the reason it does that doesn’t make it any better 💀
What do you MEAN I have to explicitly tell macOS these apps aren’t exceptions??
(I know why startup programs exist, but please ask me if I want a given program to be one of them!!!)
I wonder if Minecraft is gonna break with macOS 28, or if the Apple Silicon version of the launcher will arrive before Rosetta 2 goes away?
Responses to a post on Bluesky. There are three that all read “AI amplifies execution. Not decisions. Tools don't think. You do. Deploy it to grind tasks. Keep the wheel. Weak operators blame the tool.”
Why did I get three identical responses?
If a business can’t explain why it’s adopting AI and what workflows it’s enhancing, they can’t reasonably expect it to work well.
The greatest extent I’ve seen Gen AI good for is prototyping. Maybe some code-gen if you *actually* know what you’re doing. That’s it.
While an AI agent can be useful, it has to be carefully deployed. Only given access to what it needs to get the job done, and without the capability to make final decisions.
In other words, AI is only actually useful to people who can work without AI.
It feels like software didn’t become more stable, they just stopped telling us what went wrong, or worse, stopped telling us *that* something went wrong.
I’m so sick of software silently failing.
Guys I think we might know Kinger's real name.

Gooseworx did say Pomni and Jax are the main characters of the show during a livestream.
She got harassed off of social media for this.
THAT IS NOT WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD HAPPEN IN THIS EPISODE
They All Get Guns completely changed my view of who Jax is as a person, and to me, made him the most interesting character of all of them. The fact that they managed to make him tragic, insufferable, AND human is a true masterclass in writing.
I'm really gonna miss this show.
YouTube works way, way better on Zen than it ever did on Safari... like, I don't even remember a time when YouTube felt this good to navigate.
I can also split view two different tabs assigned to two different containers, allowing me to interact with two separate accounts on the same website from within the same browser window.
I don't think there's any reason for me to try another web browser. Zen won.
I can have two tabs side-by-side in the same workspace, each signed in to different YouTube accounts, just by assigning a tab to a different container, AND give each different icons.
The productivity and organization implications for someone who wears many hats here is insane.
Screenshot of Zen Browser tab with context menu open, one of the options is "change icon".
I CAN CHANGE TAB ICONS???
I'm giving Zen a try and it's already my favorite browser. I can't believe it took me this long.
Two additional result. They are: 1. An Ask.com article titled “Step-by-Step Python Programming Tutorial for Beginners” 2. A Questionsanswered article titled “Can I Learn Python on My Own?”
For additional context, the next two results are slightly more relevant.
A screenshot of four mobile search engine results. The results alternate comically between two entirely different topics: 1. An Ask.com article titled "A Comprehensive Guide to the Sony STR DH500: Features, Specs, and Performance" 2. An Ask.com article titled "Understanding the Science Behind STR Analysis in Forensic Investigations" 3. A Consumersearch article titled "STR Profiling: Enhancing Accuracy and Reliability in DNA Identification" 4. An Ask.com article titled "Choosing the Right Audio Receiver: Exploring the Benefits of the Sony STR DH500"
I want y’all to guess what my search query was.
AI search is an entire separate product of its own, too… that’s what Google AI Mode is.
And it always provides sources… because that’s what it’s for. Summarize the results and link to where it got the information for further reading.
Adobe subscription selection screen. The options are Monthly, Annual billed monthly, Annual prepaid.
This is what it looks like when you subscribe to Creative Cloud.
I’m getting tired of people acting like Adobe’s the bad guy because you have to pay to end your commitment early.
This is not a dark pattern. If you don’t want to commit to a year, don’t commit to a year. Read what’s on your screen.
After years of Object-Oriented Programming, I tried Functional Programming: pure functions, currying, higher-order functions, closures. Wild shift! #FP #OOP

I love this. I need my own terminal website.
