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)

All the nothing Tyler knows in one place!

    @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 :)

    @Mtt Sure! And I should also acknowledge your comment about the roadmap. Great to hear :) Also, just installed it on my iPhone 14 Plus and instant sync. So, so clean. Putting notes in on my Mac and referencing them on my phone is just excellent for me. Thanks!

    @Mtt Well, it works :) So, that’s good, right? I tried most everything and other than the Unlock bug, it all just worked. I’m happy to keep testing for you, if you like. Just let me know.

    @Mtt Interesting little app. Unlock in Settings crashes it, but Subscribe to edit worked. Colors in Dark Mode could be more vibrant, but it looks good. Editing is simple and fast. I’d like to have the Share function on the note and not in the menu. I’d also like to see a menubar icon, an option to remove the icon from the Dock whilst running, and maybe even an icon-based quick picker to fly the selected not from the menubar to fast access. And a range of keyboard shortcuts to facilitate these functions would make it super easy to use. I could easily see using this. Nice work :) Thanks!

    @tylerknowsnothing.bsky.social “says” and “America’s”. Doi. Still no post editing, Bluesky!??!!

    @nsmug All while crapitalism has been actively forging an environment where people are valued increasingly less, prices are rising, homes are unattainable or unsustainable for most, jobs are scarce, education is both more expensive and less valuable, people are being retrained by a hostile, predatory corporate internet, our political environment is steadily ramping up the fascism, and so, so much more. Society has been fattened up for the kill and while some of us protest these crimes, it isn’t in large enough sustained numbers and the 1% simply doesn’t care any more. The veneer has almost come completely unglued. Occupy Wallstreet needs to be revived in numbers far outstripping the movement from the 2000’s.

    @AlexanderKingsbury Look, I get that you’re a bleeding heart capitalist and hate socialism with a passion. It would be nice, however, if you’d redirect that derision at the enormous corporate socialism programs instead of people who just need health care. Does Big Oil really need billions in subsidies and tax breaks? Or we could just make all parking paid! Grocery stores. Emergency rooms. Schools. Even your own driveway!

    @tylerknowsnothing.bsky.social Ugh. Still can’t edit posts?! Why?? I AM an instant fan, as opposed to what I wrote above. It was supposed to be “now”, not … er, “not”. Naughty of me, I know :)

    @manton I’m an Angeleno and I thought it was about crime school 🤣

    @tylerknowsnothing Not enough room to add this to the post, but I would have titled it Avatar Aang: The Lost Airbender. Also, that’s rather huge retcon. Just sayin…

    @manton While not contained to the US, Americans do have a wonderful [sic] talent for ignoring the ugliness festering around us. Racism. Homelessness. Poverty. Hunger. Violence. Mental health. Crapitalism. Crime. The list is endless. We see it and just keep going, either because we find it annoying or we feel powerless to fix it. Xitter is simply one of the most blatant examples of this, unfortunately.

    @manton I still have an unreasonable hope that someone will fall on their head and decide to upload all of the live shows that used to be on House of Blues’ website.

    @AngelaScholder 🤣🤣🤣🍺

    @AngelaScholder Ugh. What a PITA. Sorry 😢

    @bellegraylane I’m with you there :)

    @jarrod Thanks for this! Lovely shortcut :)

    @jarrod The behavior of said “Trump/Republican/MAGA” adherents lacks anything even remotely “Christian” in values, ethics, common sense, or basic human empathy.

    @manton 🤣👍

    @manton Yeah. I thought that was odd. Read up on it and decided to spin an instance up for shites and giggles, and it throws errors on deployment. Whoops! That was enough for me. 🤣🤣🤣

    @jarrod That is about 98% awesome :) 2% off for not having a clever power button fix 😁🤓

    @adamprocter Ah, well Microwave is lovely :) I don’t think I ever tried Marfa, but I’m an ex-Wordpress user and love my density and columns 🤣

    @adamprocter Are you also using Microwave? I was getting that exact error when I tried to update Hugo.
