I bought a 2021 iPad Magic Keyboard from Craigslist and the pointer behaviour in iPadOS is one of the most delightful user interactions I’ve used in some time.

I hope the influx of users to Bluesky encourages the Signal people to greatly improve the way Bluesky messages are ‘unfurled’ (I tried to get them to care earlier but to no avail).
I’ll need to set a time limit for when I open the Bluesky app.
Spotlight has become really slow in the most recent versions of iOS and macOS. Certain things that used to happen almost instantly (currency conversions, searching for apps by name) now sometimes take tens of seconds. I hope this gets fixed soon.
Some on social media are arguing that a ‘backlash against the elites’ explanation for the U.S. Presidential Election is incoherent because Republicans are richer and so more elite. I believe it’s too early to pontificate but I want to note the backlash argument is about values.
I really need Tapbots to make a Bluesky client.
I’m trying to change the region for my Apple Account and it won’t let me do that until the time has expired on my cancelled Apple One subscription.
I miss the New York Times’s weekly Australia Letter newsletter.
Apropos nothing I’ve decided to start a monthly donation to ProPublica.
I missed the old ‘mundane Hallowe’en’ threads you’d find on Twitter. Fortunately, kottke.org has me covered.
The Verge‘s endorsement of Kamala Harris for President (written by Nilay Patel) is the best political endorsement I’ve ever read.
I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and so miss out on all of the Apple Intelligence features in iOS 18.1 but the upgrade was worth it for stacked notifications in Notification Centre now having a numbered badge that tells you how many are in the stack.
I cancelled my Washington Post subscription.
It’d be neat if the name of the SUICA card was displayed more visibly in Apple Wallet (like on the image of the card, for example).
I got access to the private beta for Ghostty and my impression so far has been very positive. Feels (subjectively) faster to me than Alacritty.
I’m not 100% sure but my Mac Mini seems to have stopped turning on my external display whenever a notification comes in. I don’t know if this is because they fixed something in Sequoia or because I’ve changed something on my end.
