A shadowy Russian figure named Kremlev seems like amateur writing.

Remember how nice it was to be able to click and drag from almost anywhere along the title bar? We didn’t feel that space was wasted even back when we had only 342 pixels vertically.
Democrats have just announced their new Senate candidate for Maine: John Fetterman.
I’ve seen only one decent photo of the buckled column in the Manhattan building that’s been evacuated. Looks like a wide flange section with plates stitch-welded between the flanges to make a box. It’s buckled in the weak direction with local buckling on the compression side of the flange. Maybe the welding wasn’t sufficient to make the section and the plates act as a single unit, which would reduce the column’s buckling strength in the weak direction.
Is something wrong with the TV?
No, why?
I’ve just seen two consecutive commercials without David Beckham.
Following the lead of Graham Platner, the US men’s soccer team announced that it’s suspending its campaign for the World Cup.
☃️ Design is how it works.

@marcoarment@mastodon.social It’s very simple. You use “brew update” when you want to update and “brew upgrade” when you want to upgrade.
I have a few quasi-medical appointments next week, so I’ve been getting reminder texts from those offices today. When each text arrives, Siri pops up a notification, suggesting that I might want to add an event to my calendar. Of course, I already have the events in my calendar, so the main purpose of these notifications is to remind me that Apple’s promises from nearly two years ago still haven’t been fulfilled.
The permit for using my kayak on county lakes was free this year because I started the season as a senior citizen.
Not to brag, but Chicago is currently the most polluted major city in the world.

This NY Times article is a true 4th of July celebration. You know it’s a great country when someone this fucking stupid has half a million dollars to waste.

Well, President Clickbait got a bunch of people to talk about himhimhim for another day.
Maybe they were holding the phone wrong.
☃️ Apple’s different philosophies.

It’s that time of year when older white men write bad prose starting with “it’s that time of year.”
When I first heard of this safety measure, I thought it was going to interrupt things *typed* into Terminal and wasn’t happy about it. But I’m fine with Apple interrupting pasted commands, even though my site may be a place from which users are copying those commands.

I was at a local bar playing trivia tonight and didn’t get to see any of the Sixers/Magic game because they don’t subscribe to Amazon Prime. There were at least a dozen TVs showing Andre Agassi playing pickleball.
As Nixon famously said, “If the President does it, it’s not a HIPAA violation.”

@marcoarment@mastodon.social I assume your second item means
- Navigation bars and toolbars should hide the content behind them.
Yes?

@justkwin@toot.community Counterpoint: the Reflecting Pool rework has been a farcical aquatic adventure.
Those of us old enough to remember Gerald Ford are not surprised to hear that the aircraft carrier named after him has had some stumbles.

☃️ A new feature in macOS 26.4 sounds like a good idea, but I haven't been able to get it to work.

If I were a gambler, I’d put money on Trump adding Oliver North to the negotiating team.

@agiletortoise @gknauss Oh Greg, I had really hoped that our long national nightmare was over.

Maybe they’re not counting it because that mission didn’t go to the Moon.
The AP website is in a time warp this morning.
Replying to
@gknauss@mastodon.social I’m in the habit of using multiples of 10 seconds because that’s one rotation on my current microwave and the one before it. If I ever get one that goes at 23 seconds/rotation, I will immediately return it.
Mario Rubio is just laughing his ass off today.
@schwa@mastodon.social And nothing. Which is what everyone writing breathless articles today should’ve known.

@pmcg @osullivan @gruber @siracusa So many people write "try and” instead of "try to” that I'm only mildly annoyed when I see it now.
Replying to
@pukku There are many things Apple does now that strike me as MS-inspired. None of them good. The most generous thing I can say about the title bar problem is that maybe the designers all use utilities like Moom and don’t drag windows anymore.
Replying to
@dlehman I’ll give that a try, but I don’t know if I can overcome 40 years of clicking and dragging with no keys.
Replying to
@osullivan @gruber @siracusa You may be pleasantly surprised at how tolerant it is. I updated to 26.4 this morning and have tried out a few "dangerous” commands—including rm variants—and none of them triggered the warning. I’m starting to wonder if it’s strict enough.
