On the phone: "Hello Mr Police, I'd like to report a TRUE CRIME. Just look at the goddamn perspective of that goddamn standard #Tahoe drive icon"

The design department at #Apple is helmed by Siri, tell me I'm wrong, I fucking dare you

My #Obsidian + Contacts + #Shortcuts mini #CRM is making good progress. Fun! I had hoped to only use core plugins but Bases alone doesn't cut it – no way to get the vault name inside a Bases document, it seems, which is vital for what I'm trying to do. So… Bases + Dataview, then.

Still early days 😅

Babes, wake up, the new #iMac just dropped 😳

Well, I guess that explains THAT, then

Dear Apple, I hate this so fucking much. My app requests permission to control Shortcuts Events. Customer grants it. All is well …

… until the machine is rebooted, and then the permission needs to be granted *again*. This is ridiculous. #macOS

This update adds a new floating panel to #Shortcuts for linking ("tagging") apps to workflows (before, we used a special Shortcuts action for that). You still define which workflows you want to have available in what app – but it's so much nicer now 🚀

v1.5 of my `kagi-ken-cli` #CLI tool is out (yes, another name change, bear with me). Extracted the core functionality into another node package as prep for the #Kagi session-token-based MCP server I'll be releasing in a few days.

BTW, the Kagi summarizer is pretty great.

Whoever signed off on this POS UI is definitely way overpaid

That whole cloud console thing is not made for humans. You want to know why people are using Claude Code over Gemini CLI? This right here is likely the reason. JFC

Der Witz hat ein slowclap.gif verdient. Und ja, ich habe es um den Faktor 5 abgebremst, weil es nicht slow genug war.

Still love you, my man

While setting up macOS 26 beta in a VM earlier, I set Siri to UK English, and picked "Voice 1" – and, folks. FOLKS.

Why wasn't I informed it totally sounds like @alixwiltonregan.bsky.social's Inquisitor from DA:I?

Here's a sample: files.zottmann.dev/i/250621.d3c... Go ahead, tell me I'm wrong

Here's your yearly reminder that our global maps do not depict reality simply because map projections are a goddamn mess, and geography ≠ geometry.

Really good article. I've posted it a few times already but it reshaped my world view quite a bit.
