And of course this couldn’t have been done without the help of @DamiDoop! She did a lot of the work of prettying up the UI when I had absolutely no patience for it. Oh and you have to go look at the nutrition facts because that’s my favorite thing that she did. Lastly, if you’d prefer to get […]

Popped in to ~/Library/ to clean up the application support files for an app I was uninstalling and discovered that someone isn't handling their paths correctly. I’m especially amused because this means they must be building that path themselves, instead of […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

Screenshot of a portion of a macOS Finder window. The current folder is ~/Library/, and inside of it you can see two folders named "Application Support" and "Application%20Support".

Heading: "Apply for access to production"
Body: "Production is where you make your app available to billions of users on Google Play. Before you can apply for production access, you need to run a closed test which meets our criteria. When you apply, you'll also need to answer some questions about your closed test."

Below this is a card:
Heading: "We have your application for production access"
Body: "We're reviewing your application form. We'll email the account owner with an update. This usually takes 7 days or less, but may occasionally take longer. Applied today, 5:52 PM."

Change I just discovered by accident: the new “slide to power off” screen is *sexy*! I actually really like the glassy look here on all the sliders, and don’t even get me started on the SOS slider. The “SOS” text on the button uses HDR, so it appears super […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

iPhone “slide to power off” screen. There are three sliders, stacked vertically. The first and second are white on translucent backgrounds and say “slide to power off” and “medical ID”, respectively. The third one is red on a translucent background, with bright red “SOS” text on the part you slide, and the text “emergency call”. The red “SOS” text is using HDR and appears much brighter than all other color on the screen.

I decided to immediately update my Mac to macOS 27db1 this year just because I’d rather experience bugs than have to spend another day looking at Tahoe Liquid Glass.

On the macOS 27 Golden Gate side though, all I have to say is THANK FUCK. I literally wanted nothing out of macOS 27 but UI fixes, and I think they addressed everything I wanted (other than again, the app icons). The sidebars are fixed (and have colored icons back!), corner radii are consistent […]

Okay I was doing a totally unrelated software update and OS X decided to update iDVD from 7.1 -> 7.1.2 as well and that seems to have fixed the crashing. Still amused that whatever bug this was doesn’t just crash iDVD but instead brings the entire OS down too lol

In the center of the screen is a window displaying an empty iDVD project. The text of an OS X kernel panic is printed over the entire contents of the screen, showing that the OS has crashed.

i’m fucking crying 😭 this guy installed a malware that keeps redirecting his queries through Yahoo, and vibe coded an extension that redirects Yahoo to Google, probably not understanding that he has malware 😭 😭

screenshot of a reddit post titled "finally!! built a solution preventing yahoo taking over my chrome". the text reads:
"so, i was basically annoyed by yahoo taking over my google search engine every other day, and i had to go to settings and change it every time.
so i built this extension which prevents that, and you won’t even realize if your search engine gets taken over.
what it basically does is redirect your queries to your selected search engine whenever it detects that yahoo has taken over. it does this automatically, so you don’t have to go into settings again and again. you can also choose the search engine according to your preference.
requesting you guys to show some love. it’s completely free.
i’m open to suggestions, criticism, or any improvements/features i can add.
also, if you guys have any other problems or need a small tool that could help, let me know. i’d be happy to work on it."
the image at the top also shows text including "yahoo tries to hijack. we silently stop it." and a counter showing "47 redirects blocked."
