@RadiofromHell @rfhbill Oh, and outside of Utah, "slip-per-y" has three syllables.

Maybe "slipry" could be the next Utah word of the day?! 😆

[Uhl Albert @uhl]

@RadiofromHell, to answer @rfhbill's Fri grammar question:

1 syllable → usually add -er (kinder)
3+ syllables → use more (more important)
2 syllables → depends on word and what sounds natural

Irregular and non-gradable adjectives break the pattern.

@MerriamWebster I take umbrage that Word of the Day isn't posted on Bluesky.

@CleanShot Nice update!

Please add an option to always open images as Fit Canvas. Tall website captures make sense at 100%, but mobile screenshots open at 100% too, so I have to change it every time. Either opt out common phone resolutions or let us turn off auto-detection. 🙏

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

@ella_developer Thanks for your Creating Custom SF Symbols article—super helpful! 🙏

Any idea how to prevent a badge from throwing off the vertical centering of the combined symbol?

I've filed feedback and posted to Apple Dev Forums, but no response:

@nikih24 @pcdriscoll @FamilyByCycle @wahoofitness Yup, this seems to be a bug. Many people reporting it on Reddit here:

Big day for the little app that could—Pika 1.1.0 is out. It includes APCA contrast calculation support (the spiritual successor to WCAG), along with a bunch of features and fixes.

[Uhl Albert @uhl]

Hey @LLo_ai, did this 👆 drag-tab-and-immediately-snap feature regress?

Been using it for years, but it stopped working sometime over the past few weeks. Not sure if a recent update broke it. I'm running:

BetterSnapTool 1.9.12
Sequoia 15.6
Chrome 139.0.7258.128

[Uhl Albert @uhl]

This BetterSnapTool update makes me so happy! Now I can tear off a browser tab and _immediately_ bump an edge to snap it (before it took two motions).

I love it when an app I bought eight years ago still gets solid updates! 🙌

@mattkiazyk It’s not just you—it’s definitely backwards in Public Beta 1.

Weird regression to surface in the first public release. Really hope it’s not intentional and gets reverted.

[Uhl Albert @uhl]

@littlehj Yes, and…
Mastodon’s where indie devs seem the most active.

@idahopower What caused the July 19 evening Eagle outage?

Do you publish post-outage reports for transparency?

Just a gentle reminder for folks who use CC for webinars, meetings etc, this is only one part of making your online sessions fully accessible and inclusive.
Every time I see session has CC, and nothing else, makes me think we have a long way to go.
Another example, just because a movie has CC, doesn't make it fully accessible either.
We need to think a bit more, rather than just trying to sign off on one accessible and inclusive feature.
We need to think of people with all needs, not just one.
And no, I'm not just thinking of people who are blind here which is often said to me as a person who is blind: i.e.its not all about you.
Lets start thinking more out of the box which it feels like I've been banging on about for a good quarter of a century.

@ios_dev_alb Unfortunately, Dash Calc isn’t available in the EU. But if you’re there—or just want to try it out for free—here’s the TestFlight:

It’s a privacy thing—more on why in the FAQ if you're curious:

[Science Friday @scifri]

Over the past month, the Trump administration has enacted dramatic budget cuts and mass layoffs across federal health and science agencies.

Dr. @sudipsparikh, CEO of @AAAS, joins us to discuss the cuts and how the scientific community can respond.

@jordancalhoun @raycastapp Yeah, I've checked that and Raycast does have Input Monitoring permission. And no competing Hyper Key apps are listed anywhere.
