I like clean cuts. From January 1, I’ll give Mastodon a serious try. Find me at https://t.co/iO505PQ8lA.

See you over there 👋

When you originally intend to fly carry-on only, but since you have to go to the check-in counter anyway, you spontaneously decide to pack a second bag full of stuff.

It’s making me nervous that my new iPhone 14 Pro crashed in the middle of the night in such a way that it didn’t turn on without force-restarting, didn’t charge above 80%, and didn’t sound the alarm.

All of that just one day before I actually need to get up early for a flight.

Who at LinkedIn thought showing a QR code for two-factor authentication is an optional thing?

Flying Blue und ich haben unterschiedliche Auffassungen darüber, welche E-Mails „ein grundlegender Bestandteil des Flying Blue-Programms“ sind.

@holman I may have a track record—on GitHub—of correcting “Github” whenever I see it… https://t.co/19dTfLxqE7

“GitHub Actions actions”. This is always such a mouthful, but I don’t know what else to call actions on GitHub Actions.

I’m not sure whether the Facebook account requirement turning into a Meta account requirement was much of an improvement.

I might as well give in before I lose all my purchases.

Apple Watch bands are the new USB-A ports. I always slide them in the wrong way first.

@kcase However, I’m not sure whether it will help with this case: Sometimes, when pasting links, the link becomes “greedy” and covers the next line.

For example, in this screenshot, https://t.co/8sJKXSrKtn actually goes to https://t.co/IMzGGKuxEG.

I wish @OmniFocus would just not support rich text at all (or Markdown instead). It usually leads to weird styles, and I regularly “Clear Style” to normalize everything.

[Jakob @sonicdoe]

@kcase Thanks! I think that will definitely improve things. For a while, I even used https://t.co/rRn5VDbt2j.

After Wander Wallet, Trail Wallet is now officially shutting down. Both of my favorite travel budget apps are now no longer available 😔

@moretothat Ha, I guess there are worse things to be known for. Good luck on your new membership program!

[Jakob @sonicdoe]

@moretothat Thanks for “The Riddle of Rest”! I think there’s a small typo in “a thought sneaks in about what you have [to] get done”.

[Jakob @sonicdoe]

This is why I don’t like stale bot, by the way.

@UARRR Mich würde interessieren, was dich bei https://t.co/CV88QBEIRS zum Englischen bewegt hat, vor allem nach diesem Post von vor zwei Jahren: https://t.co/4la0tSU1Sx

I was so excited to find out about Apple no longer requiring an Apple ID to download Xcode, only to be disappointed a few hours later after finding the latest tweet.

[Xcodes @xcodesapp]

As a heads up, it looks like Apple has blocked the "no login" way of downloading Xcode.

Workaround for now, is to switch your datasource to Apple to use the original way of downloading by providing your Apple username/password.

Sorry for the troubles. Looking into it.

Because Mail continues to open incredibly slowly on macOS Ventura, I have now an Alfred workflow which deletes …/Properties.plist before opening Mail 🙄 https://t.co/BYyi6KvTfP
