There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov (1980)

    @leo Oh! How lovely!! What a crowd!!!

    @news Ooooh! Thats very cool. Thanks!

    @ortizei.bsky.social What is this “joy” you speak of?

    @Nazani I’ve long said that we need to shut down pet breeding for 5-10 years and if you want a pet you’ll get a rescue. Period. The wife and I have been married for nigh on 30 years now and we’ve had lots of rescue pets. Never bought from a pet store, just rescues, and we’ve adored them all.

    @circleeleven.bsky.social Just finished this. Love your videos and adore you rants. Fighting the good fight! Keep ‘em comin’!

    @Mtt Done. Thanks!

    @Mtt Thanks! I appreciate that :) I’m not sure when you sent this as I’ve been having update issues with M.b 4.0. I’d be happy to keep testing updates if you need the help :)

    @news Ok. I quit it and restarted and it installed 4.0.1 and I’m seeing updates now. Probably should have done that first :)

    @news Did I make a mistake updating to 4.0 now that 3.7 is out? I haven’t gotten any updates since the 14th.

    @news Looks good! Despite big jump to 18 MBs it’s still one of the smallest apps by a long shot :)

    @Mtt Just saw the notification for update to 29. I had reset my desktop which got synced to my mobile. When I looked in the data management, there were my slips :) I restored them, and a minute or so later, they popped up on my desktop, all in the correct order :D Just tested a few iterations of clicking the menubar icon and switching slips and everything now stays in place! Fantastic :D

    @Mtt Just updated to 25. Same issue. Checked on iOS and it’s still showing the correct slip content. Now, however, TF seems to be getting hammered as, at times, it says the app is no longer available or takes at least a minute to update. iOS is on 24, btw.

    @Mtt Yes.

    @Mtt Understood. The Peligro contents are still showing on Meow and Building. I’m going to remove and reinstall, see if that helps. iOS still shows the correct contents for each slip.

    @Mtt Got 23. Now it fits cleanly and gets nicely small. Excellent. Managed to find a weird bug where the slip contents get stuck after clicking on the menubar icon. Posted a report in TF with screenshots.

    @Mtt Awesome :) I’ll run through everything and report as needed. Thanks!

    @Mtt Got it. The one thing I’ve noticed so far is that, just like 17, 22 isn’t limiting window size enough at the smallest and the UI elements like the sidebar are being pushed up and into the viewer. I’ll send in a report with a screenshot.

    @Mtt Ah, I am on 17. Updating now. Thanks!

    @Mtt Good news! It’s been approved and I have the macOS version now installed. Will have some notes tomorrow.

    @ortizei.bsky.social The picture of health 🤨

    @Mtt I’ve been checking in on occasion :) I guess WWDC is sucking up all their resources 🤨

    @Mtt Thanks for the info on that. Good to know :)

    @Mtt It did update to B16, but when I used the Settings keyboard shortcut, I got the iOS options panel, so it’s still the iOS build. I do see the sidebar and share button, though. More to come…

    @Mtt Looks like it might take a mo to update on the TestFlight servers. I’ve got notifications enabled, so I’ll know as soon as it does, but I’m also refreshing the app. Funny that Apple put an actual CMD+R function in the app :D I’ll update you ASAP.

    @Mtt All that sounds good :) Slips doesn’t show up on the macOS version of Shortcuts. That makes sense if you didn’t enable it for macOS yet. I tested the Open Slip task on my iPhone. It works as a button. I turned on Siri integration and it didn’t recognize that I was asking for a named slip. I’m not super familiar with all that scripting stuff, so I could be using it wrong.

    I checked in TestFlight and it appears to be treating it as a native macOS app. There is no platform selector. I think this might mean it’s a universal app? Not sure.

    I’ve added widgets on iOS and macOS and they work essentially the same. Clean. Simple. No bugs of any kind that I can detect. On the desktop, clicking different slips icons smoothly switches in the app window. On iOS (and I wish there was a half height widget form but Apple loves wasting space on the iPhone) the slips slide in and out very cleanly, as expected.

    That’s all for now :)
