I see that iOS field test got a makeover once again. App name no longer mentions “internal” either. Still using the same funny-looking stretched-out app icon (which doesn’t really matter considering the nature of the unlisted app).

SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

iOS 27.0 Dev Beta 1 Calendar app allows adding more than two alerts, just like it’s been in the macOS Calendar. Limited by the number of options in the alert dropdown. (Before, you could have more than two, but you needed to do this in macOS’s Calendar.)

Of note: as of macOS 27.0 Dev Beta 1, the selected alert options don’t get removed from the dropdown. Likely something to be addressed.

it’s a shame that apple doesn’t offer a way to report app store guideline violations

My kingdom for an iOS Notification System that specifically requires apps split Advertisements / Promotional notifications from _real_ notifications in a way that can be disabled. I want ✅ Order Updates ✅ Direct Messages I don't want ❌ Recommended products ❌ Keep up your streak! ❌ 20% Off

my take on the trump mobile site security incident and websites in general: “when a website looks and behaves like ass, it’s probably built like ass”

Got hold of this a few days ago. Did some play tests and adjusted settings (such as heavily lowering the Steam joystick dead zones). Solid controller.

when someone says "encrypted" in the context of user authentication credentials, I'd sure as hope they're talking about hashing and salting (hint: if a password can be encrypted, it can be decrypted. passwords should *not* be reversible. there is never a good reason for that.)

This is my third year visiting the US to meet up with those across the Atlantic. As with any other year, there is always something new or different that happens. This makes it all the more exciting.

There is *easily* so much I could say about the past visits, especially the more recent one (which has been more different than the last two), but that won’t be necessary for the purposes of this write-up.

To those whom I got to meet this year and in the past couple of years: thank you. It has been great spending time with y’all, and I’d love to continue doing so. Here’s to more years of meeting up and hanging out.

It also became an opportunity to hang out more after having somewhat done so after the past two conventions, which also became another large highlight. There were also a couple of Meow Wolfs involved, the idea first raised in SF and later suggested when it came to Houston.

As for the last couple of visits and at HarmonyCon, it has always been amazing. I know multiple people who have been attending the convention whom I haven’t gotten around to meeting yet, and I’d love to do so in the future when there is time and opportunity, if the interest goes both ways.

There was a bit of a side quest coming from SF. The friend who hosted me in SF is also friends with a friend of mine, who happened to be heading to Dallas as well-a lanyard to be reunited with its owner.

With some moving around and attempts to find a good time to meet up at the hotel HarmonyCon would be operating at, it was achieved.

For that, I’m very grateful. Despite this section being shorter than the rest, it has been one of the major highlights of the visit (a lot has happened).

When it came to the second half of the visit, another best friend of mine was able to host me a little further out from Dallas. A friend of a friend at the time had also newly joined in, which involved a trip down to Houston, where we hung out before heading back up with them.

A good friend offered to host me in San Francisco. This was an incredible opportunity to hang out with them and explore parts of the city and beyond that I had never thought of visiting.

They, as well as the roommates and those staying at the time, have been very accommodating. If this hadn’t been offered, I’m not sure when I might have gotten around to visiting, much as I’d love to.
