If I worked for Apple, and had decision making on acquisitions, I would buy Lux, the makers of Halide. I mean, look at this!

** How to install Uxn on macOS **
Uxn is an esoteric stack-machine with 32 bit instructions. It exists someplace at the intersection of a GameBoy, 6502 ASM, an Apple II, Forth, RetroForth, the z80, a Sinclair ZX Spectrum, and“what if Nausicaä from Studio Ghibli’s Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind used a computer?” It is tiny, unlike most anything else around these days, and, once you wrap your head around it, pretty fun.
I won’t go into how to develop for it … ⌘ Read more
I typed in “trenta” (Starbucks for “XL”) into my iPhone and it didn’t recognize it as a real word. Does Apple not understand its primary audience?

Snikket: Snikket iOS app now publicly released
This is the announcement many people have been waiting for since the project
began!
Opinions are often strong about which is the best mobile operating system.
However, while it varies by region and demographic, wherever you are it’s very
likely that you have Apple users in your life, even if you don’t use one
yourself. We want to ensure that the platform you use (by choice or otherwise)
is not a barrier to secure and decentralized communication wit … ⌘ Read more
Monal IM: Monal 5.0.1: Synchronized builds and bugfixes

Here are the changes in this release:
- Show warning if camera permissions are missing while trying to use camera
- Fixed duplication … ⌘ Read more
A screenshot of a very tiny c program written on System7
I’ve got to use macOS by nature of my work. Lately I’m increasingly down on this. Here I will not re-hash anything about the current state of Apple’s hardware and software ecosystem. I don’t care.
Wanting to take a trip down nostolgia lane, however (to when I was 2 years old) I thought I’d install Mac OS System 7. What follows is a quick guide for doing the sa … ⌘ Read more

Massive piles of implementation bugs notwithstanding, See (on Apple TV+) is pretty neat if you’re into worldbuilding like I am.
@sixbitproxywax@sixbitproxywax.com if I didn’t livetxt Apple presentations, one-per-decade would probably be enough for me. However…I might just get lazy and chop them up into one-per-decade things anyway.
@kas@enotty.dk doesn’t seem like a bad idea. I suppose I should do that one day too eventually, but I haven’t livetweeted enough Apple events to bloat my file to where I’d want to bother.
#Apple of 2019 is the #Linux of 2000: https://nibblestew.blogspot.com/2019/10/apple-of-2019-is-linux-of-2000.html?m=1
@mdosch@mdosch.de Apple refuses to ship GPLv3 software. bash has security bugs that Apple doesn’t want to backport. So they’ve switched default shells again, this time to zsh. (bash and the previous default, tcsh, still ship with the OS.)
This won’t get me a “Dear Mr. Cook” mention in an Apple event, but I thought it was pretty cool to be able to use my iPad in the kitchen without touching it. Voice Control is pretty good.
@adiabetic@www.frogorbits.com I think my pulse would be high a lot of times if using iOS. I hear of so many problems from #xmpp devs fighting iOS and push. Not having a reliable chat app due to apples design constraints would really piss me off.
How can you tell when an Apple fan is dead tired? He blanks out when prompted for his Apple ID.
That looks like my local Apple Store. I wonder how similar the normal ones are to each other.
4K TV on Apple computers? Finally.
OK, Sign In With Apple…almost seems neat. Of course, Apple is relaying e-mail for you…
https://www.apple.com/apple-events/livestream/ doesn’t even support dark mode. Sad!
@adiabetic@www.frogorbits.com I am strongly refusing to use Apple products but for different reasons. But I wouldn’t consider anything except a computer or a console appropriate for gaming. Pads and phones might be for casual games but not for gaming.
