That Nintendo Game with Ring-Con that makes you do exercise in front of your TV has my seal of approval. 🫡

NextDNS messes with iMessage, with App Store, actually lots of Apple services suddenly aren’t working (even though blocklist or log is empty!). Also some of random, normal, regular websites are broken. Getting to old for that. It would be great if NextDNS would work but it just doesn’t for me.

Tried for 100th time to use NextDNS on router and all our devices but it messes with so much that I can’t actually rely on it. 1.1.1.1 it is.

Leather case. On the left – new, dark blue (I ordered black one but fine). On the right – green one after 10 months. I’m returning the right one because something tells me that is NOT supposed to be happening.

On one hand it’s easier to go full-Apple with iMessage, Safari, Apple Music, etc. But on the other – I’m not convinced that everything that Apple delivers is always working. iOS/macOS is the best platform… to run 3rd party apps for everything.

Another interesting one that I didn’t know about – Spotify allows you to watch video podcasts in the app, that makes using Spotify a bit more appealing, not gonna lie.

I love it because I don’t always want to read Mastodon, but sometimes I’d love just to post something. And MarsEdit enables just that, so adding Mastodon is just GREAT!

MarsEdit 5.1 will add support for Mastodon and now you can easily add images to microblog window! Love it, love it, love it!

Wife’y convinced me to get Spotify. I’m not mad about doing so, Spotify on Mac works thousand times better than Apple Music. Having an app that actually works and isn’t slow is going to be a nice change.

> The task seemed impossible, but luckily, the British had a secret weapon: a short, young balding Spaniard. He was the king of con men, an amateur spy gone pro, the world’s sneakiest liar. He was also, of all things, a chicken farmer.

🔗 Textcasting

This is very close to what Micro.blog offers but I think we can go even more textcasting. I wish there was an option to use something like that, Tumblr seems similar but… you can’t self-hosting and especially when Tumblr’s future is not yet decided on.

This is it, the beginning!

The magnets are strong in this one.
