Just saw a Trump propaganda ad during the Ohio State game. Paid for by the US Government, a.k.a., you and me. So we’re just openly violating the Hatch Act now?

It’ll be interesting if this doesn’t change by the time Chase is the banking partner behind Apple Card.

I seriously hope the public shame of wearing Meta Glasses will kill the category entirely.

You’re amazing! I always think of you whenever this feature pops up, and now I’ll have another reason. Thank you!

@rmondello.com What would need to happen to support Bluesky’s alphanumeric ABCDE-9WXYZ email two-factor codes with iOS Autofill? Is this something someone could contribute to the apple/password-manager-resources repository?

Anybody who doesn’t see the huge difference between working at a for-profit company and working at some crypto or betting-market bullshit is working at the crypto or betting-market bullshit.

No worries, after reading these replies, I completely see how the question seemed leading. I legitimately didn’t know much about this race, I’m not from Maine and not super online. But I see how my phrasing can definitely be read as sarcastic, while that wasn’t my intended tone.

Connor Mason @connor.social · 27/03/2026
@sentientpotato.bsky.social Hey, I legitimately didn’t know what the concern with Platner was, I’m not familiar with the ME race. That question wasn’t me trying to be a jerk.

Good-faith question here, I want to understand the discourse on this. What’s your concern with Platner, that he’s secretly a Nazi because of his tattoo, and will change his entire platform to support fascists if elected?

The irony is that this would likely disenfranchise low-education voters most. They’d torpedo their new populist base.

You're not wrong, they're just overrepresented in Congress! Average age of Americans is ~39, whereas the average congressperson is 58, and the average senator is 64. I'm not saying we should have zero octogenarians, I just want to see younger generations represented too.

It is also not ageism to say that our representatives should represent our actual population in a representative democracy.

Agentic computer use needs first-party support and a permissions framework. Fingers crossed for macOS 27.

Connor Mason @connor.social · 24/03/2026
My wish for macOS 27 is official APIs for this type of agentic computer use. Right now the risks of unleashing an LLM on your file system are way too high, but enforcing some standards and guardrails would unlock incredibly useful workflows.

@obsidian.md Obsidian for Mac is still using Election 34.2, which doesn't play nicely with macOS 26 Tahoe. Any plans to update to a more recent version of Electron that patches this issue?
