I wonder if Swift Assist will generate code that uses private APIs 😂

I had to replace the seals of the fridge and this is how Electrolux is reducing packaging. Clever

@1Password FYI 8.10.32-28.NIGHTLY on Mac doesn't even start. Finder says "can't open app". Reverting to 8.10.30 (public release) fixes the issue, perhaps a bad build?

Surfacing work that for most people is invisible, but makes a huge difference for others. So proud!

I find it hilarious that AI is picking up flowers as faces and blurring them

@steipete Problem being everybody hates software running on TVs. I can’t imagine having that on my display as well 🙄

@Raafael23 Thanks! Truth being said I only made the icon for Timings :) and yes, I know my site is offline. I’d like to have a space to write some random technical stuff, and haven’t figured it out yet (but… it’s been two years at least!)

E niente @WindTreOfficial e le idee geniali. La mia offerta ha già i giga illimitati, per cui per il prossimo mese e mezzo dovrò navigare più lentamente. Già l'estate scorsa mi sono ritrovato a pagare una tariffa più alta per navigare più lentamente.

Formatting time in a human friendly way was too hard.

I know there’s an Amazon warehouse in my town, but I still find it impressive that I ordered something yesterday at 23:22 and they delivered it today today at 11:11. Less than twelve hours!

It's the first time I see stars put this way

[Alessandro Vendruscolo @MisterJack]

This year Foals and their Collective Reworks hooked me (5261 minutes). I listened to Late Night (Solomun Remix) 101 times. Kasabian are in the second place (3963 minutes)

Got my Replay '22...infographic? What do you call that lol

[Alessandro Vendruscolo @MisterJack]

Anyway, in 2018 Settle by Disclosure was my #1 album, glad to see that 4 years later it's still in my top five

[Alessandro Vendruscolo @MisterJack]

@heygarrett Oh yes! I didn’t remember House’s intro. Such an amazing song 😊

[Alessandro Vendruscolo @MisterJack]

A friend of mine told me he was on a trip and decided to buy a CD.. just for fun. This made me remember of when I was a kid, when I would immediately pick the booklet to read it.

I don’t remember the last time I read one 🥹

[Alessandro Vendruscolo @MisterJack]

So I’m checking how https://t.co/CWHIX2101i works with VoiceOver, and I just heard VO reading “seventeen hundred hours” (17:00). This relieves me a bit.
