Every time I try to create a shortcut for something on iOS I inevitably find it’s not possible. I wanted a shortcut that would open a URL in a private browser tab. Nope, can’t do it.

I desperately want to see Tenet in a theatre. I see Warner Bros did a re-release in the U.S. back in February. I wish a similar thing had happened in Japan.
Not sure if this is actually what’s happened but it feels as if the previews of posts on Bluesky are showing up much better in Signal recently.
I fried some rashers of bacon for the family as my wife was giving the kids a shower and then, while I waited, I ate them all. (The bacon, not the kids.)
And so Safari on my iPhone has decided that the favicon for GitHub is the ESPN favicon for some reason.
I’ve just organised some files in Google Drive into folders. Maybe it’s because it’s what I grew up with but what a great metaphor. (Is it a metaphor?)
I forgot that application.garden hasn’t opened yet and spent an embarrassingly long time trying to work out why I couldn’t initiate a project like it said in the documentation.
Obviously when compared to more egregious conduct this is small beer but why can Apple’s apps add things to Safari’s Reading List without prompting but I have to confirm every time I want to do that in NetNewsWire?
Is the consensus still that autocorrect improved in iOS 17? I’d perhaps say it’s slightly better than it was before but still a lot of head scratching errors.
I suspect most people talking about the DOJ complaint against Apple don’t understand the issues with using a dominant position in one market to advantage you in a different market but I don’t have the time to read the complaint and write a proper blog post.
After upgrading to iOS 17.4, Siri (which I have set to Australian English) will now switch to Japanese to read out iMessages that are in Japanese. This is really cool but seemingly restricted to iMessage for some reason. I really hope this works in all apps as part of iOS 18.
I’m sure I’m not the first to notice this about Tenet but one way you could invert Daniel Craig’s James Bond movies would be to make a spy film about a black, American secret agent whose sidekick is a white, British secret agent.
I remain of the opinion that the EU’s Digital Markets Act should have required OS gatekeepers to permit sideloading of apps notarised by the OS owner. I understand this comes with trade-offs but those trade-offs are better than the status quo.
I’ve recently got back into doing the NYT’s Spelling Bee after some time away and I’m surprised how bad they are at making shareable messages for when you get to Genius. Don’t the same people work on this that work on Wordle and Connections?
