when something should happen or change. A great example: using a simple Siri Shortcut to completely disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth instead of trusting the unnecessarily complex conditions of doing so with the buttons in Control Center. I have sought out these “hacks” (as other iOS powerusers have rather absurdly called them) for very selfish reasons.

when you long-press a song in your Up Next queue, you’ll now find a new ‘Move to Top’ button in the context menu that lets you quickly put a song at the top of the queue.

there’s a new Shared with You section in the Listen Now tab that aggregates Apple Music links shared with you in the Messages app and lets you jump back to the original message with one tap. This is my favorite implementation of Shared with You since my friends and I tend to share a lot of music links on a weekly basis, so I almost see this as “Reading List, but for music”, which totally works for me.

In nearly every Apple advertisement from 1984 to the invention of the iPod in 2001, computers and gadgets were presented as the necessary final ingredient to an individual’s creative genius; but as Apple shifted heavily into selling handheld devices meant for consuming media, they also began leaning on the idea that to own their products was to be a part of a community: iPhone ads barely mention technology at all, opting instead to show poignant, intimate moments with the device capturing or mediating the experience.

Yoink Brings Background Clipboard Monitoring to iOS and iPadOS 15 via Picture in Picture Workaround - MacStories
Several years ago back when Pastebot was also available on iPhone, Tapbots attempted to let it run persistently in the background by playing a silent audio track that would trick iOS into not suspending Pastebot when it was closed. The feature was promptly shut down by Apple.

The reasons they’ve traveled to the fringe are personal, but also familiar. A phone might not seem to be something worth fighting over, but what it stands for most definitely is.

That won't happen. There's actually a good reason why they don't do that. It's simply because you could make a toot about one thing, have people favorite it and share it, link it from other places, and then suddenly, it says 'Heil Hitler,' or something.

Rather than simply letting tabs fill up, you’re encouraged to create “tasks” that let you divide different use cases up. As a writer, the way I’ve been using tasks has been to create a new one for every story I write and research, so that I can separate those ideas out without them getting in the way of everything else. (I can also hide the usual junk that sits in the pinned tabs in its own task.)

To solve the issues of lackluster annual updates, Apple should do two things. First, it should continue to build out point releases with additional features throughout the year or even unbundle app updates from its annual releases entirely. Did the FaceTime team come up with a great new feature that’ll make pandemic chatting easier? Release it when it’s ready! Second, it should start to space out its major software releases, waiting an extra year or two between iOS or macOS versions to ensure that when it does release a “new” operating system, there are actually big changes to be excited about.

Imagine dozens of boxes stacked like a mid-play Jenga board, and you can go inside each box if you climb a flight of slippery metal stairs, and inside each box is at least one person you know, but haven’t seen in 2, maybe 3 years, and you ask them, How has it been? and they tell you, and you tell them, and it feels familiar but everyone has different hair than they used to.

In short, our master plan is:
Continue to improve Substack’s simple and powerful publishing tools, including expanding support for audio, video, and community-building features.
Grow the Substack economy to help writers connect with the services they need to do their best work and build thriving publications, such as editing, design, insurance, and financing.
Build, in partnership with writers, a discovery network that helps them cross-promote, collaborate, and connect with audiences independent of attention economy networks.

Our vocabulary and syntax are diverse (though we do not sacrifice undue time to unearthing bizarre, senseless synonyms,) fluid, and occasionally difficult, but written as such for the purpose of colorful, substantial delivery in acknowledgement of the vast resources instantly available to the modern reader. In other words: do not tell what can simply and easily be looked up. With search engines as they are, this is a quickly verifiable/quantifiable factor with a given definition, summary, or abstract.

As an independent, youth-oriented publication it is both our privilege and our duty to seek out innovative methods of communication. In written composition, this means all possible avoidance of unnecessary cliche and/or overused terms (for instance: use of the term “struck” in a metaphor - e.g. what struck me) except where they are critically portrayed. It is essential to remember that the English language is no more than a tool for our use, and grammar should not be revered as an immalleable, Holy absolute which we must venerate and obey. Rather, it should be irreverently and liberally manipulated to perform as desired. Grammar should never be an obstacle or burden in our writing or editing, and should always be discarded in favor of innovative and/or contextual verse.

To me, combining the nomadic nature of a career journalist with that of a run-your-own-business newsletter is not exactly a perfect match. And a lot of people took risks on this market knowing that, yes, it was a risk. But they still found themselves looking dumbfounded as they tried to make their exit.

I’ve heard from certain readers and commenters alike that the Evora GT is too small. They have difficulty fitting into it. It’s too cramped, they say. Too tight. And I get that. You wouldn’t want to wear a suit that wasn’t tailored to you. You’d want it to feel like a second skin, something that moves with you through this world in a way that blends you both into one. That’s what driving the Lotus feels like.

What’s unique about BetterTouchTool is that not only does it come with an extensive list of Shortcuts actions for controlling the app’s functionality, but it also can run shortcuts itself. That provides a whole new layer of ways to interact with your shortcuts because all of BetterTouchTool’s keyboard shortcuts, gestures, and other triggers are now available to run your shortcuts too.

MusicHarbor is one of my favorite apps for keeping up with new music releases, so it’s wonderful to see it evolving on the Mac to incorporate Shortcuts. The Mac app includes several Shortcuts actions to access the app’s data and manage the artists you follow:
- Mark As Watched
- Mark As Seen
- Get Artists
- Get Upcoming Music Data
- Unfollow Artist
- Get Music Video Data
- Follow Artist
- Get Music Data
One simple shortcut I plan to implement in the short term is a Services menu shortcut that will allow me to highlight an artist’s name, look them up, and add them to the list I follow.

If you are looking for facts you can trust, this is almost certainly the wrong tool. If you are looking for serendipity, you're on the right track.
Let's just not worry too much about what the "real" name is and use what gets the idea across.
Apple has added a long-awaited feature that allows Apple Music users to search within playlists.
iOS 15.2 reintroduces several Siri commands that were removed in iOS 15 and that were used by low vision and blind iPhone owners. The commands that now work are those for checking voicemail messages, playing the most recent voicemail, checking call history, and providing information on recent calls.
Type out the task and tap and hold the “send” button. Here, choose “set a reminder” and pick your date and time. Telegram will send a reminder notification just like Google Calendar or other task management apps.
Just like we can share videos with a pre-defined timestamp of YouTube videos, we can do the same thing on Telegram as well. For example, if you are sending a long video and want the user to play it from a specific timestamp say, 1:20, you can just type check the reaction at 1:20 in the video caption. Now when the user taps on the highlighted 1:20 link, the video plays from that particular timestamp.
When you use a hashtag in a message, that word becomes searchable allowing you to see all the messages relating to that topic.
Where I disagree is with the idea that the physical world and the digital world are increasingly “being overlaid and coming together”; in fact, I think the opposite is happening: the physical world and digital world are increasingly bifurcating.

Let’s get one thing out of the way: you’ve probably heard of Marzipan, the Apple project to enable iOS developers to bring their applications to the Mac. This is not one of those apps. It is an app written from the ground up for macOS, which works as expected with the system features.

If you experience a crash while testing a beta app or beta App Clip, you’ll receive an alert asking if you want to send crash details to the developer through TestFlight. Developers can opt out of receiving this type of feedback, so this option is only available if the developer has it enabled.
One is our app for macOS, the other is Telegram Lite, the macOS version of our multi-platform client. Both apps are official. Both started out as unofficial applications by two different developers and vary in design and functionality.
Telegram for macOS supports many platform-specific features, such as the MacBook Pro Touch Bar, gesture navigation, integration with the Mac's Share menu and more. It has every feature from the iOS version of the app including Secret Chats.
Telegram Lite is a lightning-fast app, optimized for work-related tasks and handling large communities. It offers a three-column interface, perfect for multitasking and quick access to media, files and links shared in your chats. This app can also be used to export your Telegram data and chats.

The problem his team sought to solve was simple but had severe consequences—the VA could accept the records only in PDF format, but sometimes the Pentagon would send them as JPEGs.

A while ago I found an interesting bug on Edge. Basically Edge is treating characters as whitespace that it shouldn’t. It appears to be unicode combining characters that exhibit this behaviour. What if we combine this bug with Zalgo? We then have ZalgoScript! I first generated a list of characters that Edge treats as whitespace (of which there are a lot, check the github issue for the list). I decided to fuzz the characters 768-879 (the fuzzer code includes that range by default), the fuzzer logged that character 837 along with any character within the 768-879 range produced side effects. This is cool; I could loop through this list and combine characters to produce Zalgo that was also valid JavaScript.
MultiMarkdown is a Markdown parser by Fletcher Penney which adds several powerful extensions to the original Markdown specification including tables and footnotes. Drafts includes MultiMarkdown 6. More details about MultiMarkdown syntax and extensions can be found in the user guide.
The following options are available for rendering with MultiMarkdown:
- Markdown compatibility mode: Treat input as plain Markdown without MultiMarkdown extensions enabled.
- Smart quotes: Replace straight quotes
- Escaped link breaks: If enabled, the \ character can be used to force a new line
- Footnotes: Enable or disable footnote syntax
- Random footnotes: Use randomized identifier numbers for footnotes
- No labels: Enable or disable adding of id attributes to headers
- Process HTML: If enabled, text inside HTML tags will be processed
- No metadata: Disable special handling of metadata at the top of documents
- Obfuscate: If enabled, the email address will be obfuscated in HTML output
- Critic markup: Enable Critic Markup.

A great follow-up read to my piece from yesterday on Mastodon. David Blue does a deep dive on the state of Mastodon apps on iOS. This was published over the summer, before the official app launched to the public, but it’s still covered in its beta form.
David points to Toot! as his favorite of the bunch. And while there is a lot to like, I tend to enjoy Metatext and the official client just a smidge more. But if you’re looking for an app to use after jumping into the fediverse, this piece is a great place to start the exploration.

On the Mac, the full file system is available and you can bookmark more or less any folder you, as a user, have permissions to modify. On iOS, that story is a bit more complicated.

If you are using Drafts by Agile Tortoise, there are some tricks that make it much easier to make URL templates. First line in a draft can be referenced as [[title]] and the remainder as [[body]].

I described why I was using Bear again alongside Apple Notes
I was missing Bear for tasks such as assembling lists of links to cover on my podcasts, or creating outlines for future stories.
none of those new features are required
There will always be advantages to being fully native on the platform.
For all that Drafts can be, it starts off as just a simple editor: a place to create new drafts with the keyboard.
Theming offers the ability to change the look of Drafts’ entire UI
In a way, I see Tot as what Drafts used to be before it started adding actions and workspaces, but with the ability to move across multiple scratchpads with a single swipe.
imagine Editorial, but more heavily inspired by Shortcuts’ approach to automation, with fewer features than Ole Zorn’s 1.0 debut in 2013.
If you want to use something which would otherwise be evaluated as a template tag or function but not have it evaluated in actions, it needs to be escaped by placeing a single backslash () character before it. So, for example
\[[title]]would be ignored and not replaced with the title of the draft. The escaping backslash would be removed, however.

Things is, to the best of my knowledge, the app that birthed the recent trend of offering full navigation via a connected keyboard.
In the world of note-taking, it’s hard to find a third-party app with keyboard integration as strong as Agenda’s. I had to qualify “third-party app” because Apple’s own Notes app has surprisingly extensive keyboard support itself. But while Notes may get all the basics right, Agenda is a more complex app and thus it’s even more impressive how much of the app can be controlled via keyboard. Though the app can still revert to touch-only in popover menus, its primary shortcoming, outside of that you’ll find basic navigation via keyboard but also a rich set of shortcuts for doing even obscure things like adjusting line spacing or text size, moving notes before or after one another, hiding or revealing different side panels, and much more.
The original implementation of SQLite sought to follow Postel's Law which states in part "Be liberal in what you accept". This used to be considered good design - that a system would accept dodgy inputs and try to do the best it could without complaining too much. But lately, people have come to realize that it is sometimes better to be strict in what you accept, so as to more easily find errors in the input.
In iOS 13, Apple has delivered on both aspects of the Shortcuts experience: apps can eschew URL schemes (which Apple called “inherently insecure” at WWDC in discouraging new custom uses of them)

Here's the thing.
You may not want to learn this, but this is the reality and how it is, nevertheless.
So, here it goes, for what it is worth to you.
Almost 6 years ago, Apple finally and quietly, with NO fanfare, did away with all 16 GBs iOS devices.
With iOS/iPadOS system software getting larger and larger, 16 GBs iOS devices were being choked with having very little internal, free data storage space to do very little with.
Today, in 2020/2021, Apple 32 GBs devices are now becoming the “new” 16 GBs iOS devices.
A 16 GBs storage iPad starts out, after initial drive formatting, at approx. 14.5 GBs of free, internal storage.
After the installation of iPadOS, at approx. 6 GBs, leaves 8.5 GBs of of free, internal data storage space.
iOS/iPadOS needs a minimum of 2-4 GBs of constant remaining storage, AT ALL TIMES to insure/ensure nominal, acceptable operation of all iOS/iPadOS functionalities.
This leaves a 16 GBs iPad with ONLY a practical, usable storage space of between 4.5 and 6.5 GBs AND THAT IS IT!
This is virtually NO internal data storage to do much of anything with that 16 GBs iPad!
Back in 2014, the iOS system software was NOT as large a file size, as it is today!
So, Apple, in 2014, were still offering iOS devices in 16, 32, 64 and 128 GBs internal storage sizes.
This is reason why Apple quietly, silently did away with all 16 GBs iOS device back sometime in 2016.
A 32 GBs storage iPad starts out with approx 30 GBs.,after initial internal flash drive formatting.
Minus approx. 6 GBs for iOS/iPadOS leaves 24 GBs.
Minus 2-4 GBs, for iOS/iPadOS system operational reserve, leaves approx. between 20-22 GBs of actual, usable data storage space.
This is 3-4 times the usable internal storage space of a 16 GBs iOS device, but CAN get also, get quickly swallowed up with data in a short period of time, if the data is not properly managed.
A 64 GBs storage iPad starts out with approx. 60 GBs.,after initial internal flash drive formatting.
Minus approx. 6 GBs for iOS/iPadOS leaves 54 GBs.
Minus 2-4 GBs, for iOS/iPadOS system operational reserve, leaves approx. between 50-52 GBs of actual, usable data storage space, which is a more more reasonable, usable and manageable amount of internal data storage space,
etc..
No matter what you do to try and gain some free storage on that over 6-year old, 16 GBs iPad, those efforts will be futile.
That iPad storage model will still have very little free data storage space left to do much of anything today in 2021.
Sorry, but this is that reality for your iPad model.
Today in 2021 and with iPadOS being 6 GBs, and somewhat over in file size, a 16 GBs iPad is virtually useless, now.
Sorry.
So Yes,
You really need to seriously consider a new iPad model OR a much, MUCH “newer” and less expensive, used iPad models, from better known, trusted Apple product/device retailers/resellers, with, at least, 64 GBs of internal data storage, as an absolute minimum now.
Sorry & Best of Luck to You!

You can control what to show such that mode=content shows file content tab or directory contents for directories and repository; mode=changes shows the Changes-tab and is only valid for files, mode=status shows the Status-tab for files or Status screen for directories and repositories while mode=preview shows the Content-tab in preview mode for files supporting this. You can omit the mode parameter to leave mode unchanged.
Jump to specific lines in the text file opened with the line=123 parameter and show messages with either error=red%20%text or message=blue%20text to inform the user of something related to the file. If you include line= but no path= the app uses the path of current file. This can be used with shortcuts activated through the share sheet that validate the current file.
Make sure all parameters are URL-coded and that space is percent- rather than plus-encoded.
Inside Working Copy you can create Universal Links that describe repositories or files, branches or commits inside repositories with the Share Sheet.

Their primary purpose is to make it easy to jump to specific content in Working Copy, but they also serve a purpose as x-callback-url parameters. You can include a Universal Link in the url parameter and all the inner parameters will be extracted and used making the following two commands equivalent:
working-copy://x-callback-url/read?url=https%3A%2F%2Fworkingcopyapp.com%2Fgit%2F%23repo%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Ftwbs%2Fbootstrap%26path%3DREADME.md working-copy://x-callback-url/read?repo=https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap&path=README.md
This is useful when you start a Workflow from within Working Copy, as you can specify the file, directory or repository to act on and send this along as a single parameter.
Use x-callback-url/read with type=url to get back the universal url of a file picked by the user.

It should be noted that, with the M1 chip, Apple has for the first time started advertising how much RAM is included in the iPad Pro, with differences based on the amount of built-in storage. The 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB iPad Pros get 8 GB of RAM, or 2 GB more than the 2020 iPad Pro; the higher-end 1 TB and 2 TB models get an astounding (for the platform) 16 GB of RAM.
Using the old Magic Keyboard is totally fine. There was a lot of confusion following the iPad Pro’s announcement last month as to whether the 2020 Magic Keyboard was going to be supported on the new iPad Pro model. It initially seemed like the expensive accessory was not going to be compatible with the new iPad Pro, then Apple explained how the keyboard was going to work, but “may not fit precisely when closed”.
It feels like there’s a missing second half to this product’s story.

We will be back
I cannot find the words. We at Toyota GAZOO Racing are "sore losers." We do not compete without knowing the feeling of loss. Having tasted the true bitterness of losing, we will return to the World Endurance Championship arena next year, and we will return to compete in the battle that is the 24 Hours of Le Mans. For our quest to build ever-better cars… For this, we will certainly come back to the roads of Le Mans. I would like to express my gratitude to all of the cars and drivers who fought alongside us on the track at Le Mans; particularly Porsche and Audi. We will be back next year, reborn, and ready to take you on with all of our might. Look out for the "sore losers," Toyota, on the track next year. The fight is not over!

Despite Apple’s message that the iPad Pro can be a viable PC replacement because, among other features, it natively supports a dedicated external keyboard, its software still isn’t fully optimized for keyboard control. This isn’t surprising at all: iOS was designed with multitouch in mind; as long as the iPad shares a common foundation with the iPhone, it’ll always be first and foremost a touch computer. The iPad Pro line, however, is nearing its third anniversary, and its external keyboard integration still feels like an afterthought that’s hard to reconcile with the company’s marketing.
I think Things 3.6 is also a statement of sorts – a message to developers of iPad apps, including those at Apple, to extend their keyboard integrations. Things 3.6 may be just an app, but the idea of complete keyboard control should be applicable to every area of an operating system as well. Can you imagine if iOS worked this way too?

In addition to the predefined tags always available, scripts in an action can create custom tags which become available to action steps run after the script in the same action. This is useful if a scripted action step processes text to create a value that then needs to be inserted in a later step that shares that text. The below example shows a simple script with creates a tag.
let s = "My String Value"; draft.setTemplateTag("mytag", s); // after running this script, templates later // in the action will have available a [[mytag]] tag.Custom template tag values can also be created using the Define Template Tag action step
If you want to use something which would otherwise be evaluated as a template tag or function but not have it evaluated in actions, it needs to be escaped by placeing a single backslash () character before it. So, for example
\[[title]]would be ignored and not replaced with the title of the draft. The escaping backslash would be removed, however.
no argument has dogged my timeline more in the last several weeks than the contention that men aren’t speaking up enough about abortion on social media — and that not doing so is not just a moral failing, but a fundamental abdication of their “place” within the pro-choice movement.

In building Stage Manager, Apple sought to combine the objective benefits of multiple app windows shown onscreen (you can do more things at once) with interaction boundaries designed to eschew the typical complexity of window overlap and resizing.
This feature can also be activated with Globe+F
you can keep pressing Globe+F to toggle back and forth between full-screen and the window’s previous size and placement.
Minimize: with this button, you can remove a window from the current workspace (without closing the app) by minimizing it back into the recent apps strip. I’m not sure if “minimizing” is the best word for this, but its associated ⌘M keyboard shortcut matches macOS, so I assume it makes sense for consistency’s sake.
Close: this is the big red button that outright closes a window (if an app has multiple windows open) or closes the window and quits the app (if it has only one window open). This feature can also be activated with ⌘W (again, matching macOS) and it’s what you need to use if you want to remove a window from your current workspace without having it end up as a standalone window in the recent apps strip.
Just the other day, I was writing this article in Obsidian, checking some reference material in Notes, reading some questions about iPadOS from members in our Discord, and viewing some of my liked tweets in the Twitter app about Stage Manager.
I can seamlessly switch between them by clicking them or cycling through them with a keyboard shortcut; I can even drag and drop files and other content between them.
Obsidian is a perfect example here: the app is far from feeling native on Apple’s platforms, but because its developers did the work to support Split View, Slide Over, and Auto Layout before, it works out of the box with Stage Manager when you resize its window. Make it very small, and Stage Manager will turn it into the iPhone version of the app, running on iPad alongside three more apps in a Stage Manager workspace.

To import your notes from Evernote you just need to perform a couple of steps:
- Export your Evernote notes into a .enex archive following this export guide
- Import the .enex inside Bear
- On macOS you can import your notes by selecting
File→Import From→Evernotefrom the menu bar.- On iOS you can access to the importers by going to
Import & Exportin the Preferences, locate theImport Fromsection, selectEvernoteas format and tap onImport Notes.The .enex format does not include informations about your notebooks. If you want to keep the notebook name as a reference in Bear we suggest to add a tag to your notes in Evernote before exporting them. The enex does retain the notes you trashed in Evernote, please consider empty Evernote's trash before exporting.
If you want to migrate your Evernote's notebooks to Bear you can use tags. Create a new note in Bear with a tag for every notebook (e.g.
#notebook1,#notebook2,#notebook3, etc…). Export each notebook in an enex file and import them one by one. After every import, drag and drop the new notes to the corresponding tag. Use the search to find the newly imported notes (e.g. to find the notes which do not belong to#notebook1and#notebook2search for-#notebook1 -#notebook2).

- Adjective: “Open source” is always lowercase, except when at the start of the sentence. You can use it as an adjective without a hyphen, as in “open source project” or “open source software.”
- Noun: You can also use the term on its own to refer to open source in general, as in “give back to open source."
- Verb: It’s acceptable to use open source as a verb when referring to a project that has been “open sourced” or that you intend to “open source.”

Drafts developer Greg Pierce shared this great idea for Shortcuts automations — auto-replying to bot accounts with their pre-programmed messages.
This is somewhat possible now, because you can set up Messages automations that look for specific phrases — however, Apple has severely limited its capability by disallowing the Run Without Asking feature, so it will notify you but you have to manually run the shortcut at that point:

Mail Assistant 0.2 or greater also provide a “Send Mail” shortcuts action for use with the Shortcuts app on macOS 12 (Monterey) or greater. Shortcuts has built-in mail actions which work with Mail app, but do not have support directly for HTML mail, so potentially useful in some workflows.

The iPhone app is simple to use. Just tap the app’s big red button, and it starts listening to your surroundings to pick out what’s playing. You can manually scrobble each song with the press of a second button or go to settings to auto-scrobble songs. There are also options to mark a track as Loved, view it on Apple Music, and add it to a dedicated AirScrobble playlist. For $7.49/year, you can get AirScrobble+, which adds your scrobble history using the app and lets you access your scrobble history on Last.fm to scrobble songs that way.

Scoped tags use special markup to limit assignment to only one tag in the scope, and can be a useful tool in creating workflows in Drafts.
Scoped tags are in the format
prefix::tag. Drafts will automatically limit any single draft to having only one tag with the scoped prefix assigned at a time. For example, if a draft is taggedstatus::new, and you assign it the tagstatus::in-progress, thestatus::newtag will be removed from the draft. This applies whether the tag was assigned via the user interface, automatically by an action, or even in scripts.To create a scoped tag, simply assign a tag with the
::(two colon) separator. A couple example use cases:
- Track progress of item through a workflow, with state tags like
status::new,status::in-progress,status::complete.- Assign priorities to items with tags like
p::high,p::normal,p::low.Note that when filtering with workspaces, you can filter by scope prefix, so, for example, a workspace with the tag filter
status::would find any drafts with any of the scope’s subtags assigned, likestatus::neworstatus::complete.
Some of this was potentially the result of a perfectly reasonable decision that Mossberg and Swisher made 15 years ago—to use the WordPress content management system to help accelerate their publishing time, rather than WSJ’s internal CMS.

On January 27, 2010, at a special press event billed as "Come see our latest creation," Steve Jobs unveiled the iPad.
We introduced Stage Manager as a whole new way to multitask with overlapping, resizable windows on both the iPad display and a separate external display, with the ability to run up to eight live apps on screen at once. Delivering this multi-display support is only possible with the full power of M1-based iPads. Customers with iPad Pro 3rd and 4th generation have expressed strong interest in being able to experience Stage Manager on their iPads. In response, our teams have worked hard to find a way to deliver a single-screen version for these systems, with support for up to four live apps on the iPad screen at once.
External display support for Stage Manager on M1 iPads will be available in a software update later this year.

the iPad is a revolutionary device, because it’s not a computer. The iPad isn’t for writing, it’s for reading. It’s not for making films, its for watching films. It’s not for developing software, it’s for using software. The iPad is a consumer device. What makes the iPad revolutionary is its single-minded focus on media consumption.

When you use iMessage, you can report spam messages to Apple. Depending on your carrier and country or region, you can also report spam you receive with SMS and MMS.
In the list of messages, press and hold the spam message, then tap Report Junk. Or, if you’ve opened the message and the person isn’t saved in your contacts, scroll to the bottom of the message, tap Report Junk, then tap Delete and Report Junk.
The sender’s information and the message are sent to Apple, and the message is permanently deleted from your device.
Note: Reporting junk or spam doesn’t prevent the sender from sending messages, but you can block the number to stop receiving them.
If you don’t see the option to report spam or junk messages you receive with SMS or MMS, contact your carrier. See the Apple Support article Wireless carrier support and features for iPhone.
As much as Apple may want it to be, the iPad is not a computer. It’s just not.

Drafts, Greg Pierce’s writing and note-taking app, includes a feature I’d love to see come to similar apps. The app lets you use a Live Activity as a sort of bookmark to get back to a specific document. Drafts has an existing feature that lets users pin a document, making it easy to return to quickly. With the latest update, you can optionally start a Live Activity when you pin a document. Tapping the Dynamic Island reopens the document, and expanding it or going to the Lock Screen view reveals an excerpt of the text of your document. As with the Dynamic Island, a tap takes you back to your pinned note, so you can continue writing.

in the upcoming version 4.0 of Spring, you’ll be able to open any view as a custom, in-app split-screen mode that works in tandem with multi-windowing on iPad but is also supported on the iPhone.
You can select text on images with Live Text.
Spring is the only third-party Twitter client I’ve found that tries to “complete” threads in the main timeline just like the Twitter official app and website do, meaning that you’ll always see the original tweet alongside a reply to it in your timeline for additional context.
Spring has added support for viewing edited tweets and their edited history as well as tweets containing mixed media.

Micro.blog is designed to allow third-party developers to hook into the service with their own apps. One of the first of those to be launched is Icro, by Martin Hartl. I’ve only tried the app for a short time, but was immediately struck by its clean design. Looking much like a tab bar-based Twitter client, Icro uses round avatars and accents of orange and salmon that create a calm, pleasing look. Micro.blog users should give this free alternative Micro.blog client a look.

Timery 1.5 Update Released with Lock Screen Widgets, Live Activities, New Shortcuts Actions, and More - MacStories
Timery’s Shortcuts integration has gotten a boost with the latest update too. There are two new actions:
- Find Saved Timer
- Find Time Entries
The actions do what their names suggest, but what makes them so powerful is predicate filtering, a new Shortcuts feature introduced with the OS updates this fall. Predicate filtering allows you to search based on keywords and to narrow your search by project, start time, workspace, and more. These new actions are an excellent example of just how powerful predicate filtering is.
This update adds the same functionality to video messages, allowing Premium users to get an instant text transcript.
Telegram groups can support huge communities with hundreds of thousands of users. To keep these chats easy to read, groups with over 200 members can now enable topics and create separate spaces for any subject.
Topics function as individual chats within the group – supporting their own shared media and notification settings. Members are free to chat in any topic from Anime to Zoology, using all their favorite features like polls, pinned messages and bots.
This feature is intended specifically for large groups, adding new ways to customize their chats and promote discussion. Later this year, we expect to introduce a different set of tools, tailored to small groups. If you want to give topics a test drive, try them out in this public group.
Group admins can enable topics in their Group Settings, and can control who is allowed to create and manage topics in Permissions.
As with anything on Telegram, further updates will bring more powerful tools for both admins and users of this feature.

- /next
- /cancel
- /newlocation
- /newrule
Commands should be as specific as possible – for example
/newlocationor/newruleis better than a/newcommand that then requires an additional parameter from the user like "location“ or ”rule".

What people who didn’t have friends in middle school think having friends in middle school was like.
The JFK assassination episode of Mad Men. In one long single shot near the beginning of the episode, a character arrives late to his job and finds the office in disarray, desks empty and scattered with suddenly-abandoned papers, and every phone ringing unanswered. Down the hallway at the end of the room, where a TV is blaring just out of sight, we can make out a rising chatter of worried voices, and someone starting to cry. It is— we suddenly remember— a November morning in 1963. The bustling office has collapsed into one anxious body, huddled together around a TV, ignoring the ringing phones, to share in a collective crisis.

Note: Before anyone dives into these streams, I also wanted to be up front and set expectations that I got pretty frustrated during these streams. You can clearly see Shortcuts break for me many, many times in a row, where I run into the same bugs repeatedly for hours on end.
I really don’t enjoy losing my cool on-camera, and I don’t want to be putting negative energy out — but this is the real experience of what it’s like for me working in the Shortcuts app.
Hopefully seeing it in action clarifies the issues to folks at Apple, and for me, this process is necessary for me to get this kind of deep work finished.
You can see multiple times where I almost give up, but streaming this and having the support from chat kept me going — and I made significant progress in the face of these challenges.
Thanks for tuning in if you want, but there’s no expectation that you should rewatch these — time to move forward and work with what we’ve built so far.
Toot! Is an iPhone and iPad client for Mastodon. The app has been around for quite sometime, but until this week, hadn’t received an update in nearly two years. With the surging popularity of Mastodon, though, the developer has begun updating Toot! with the social network’s newest features, including administrator notifications, plus support for the latest versions of iOS and iPadOS.
The “Strip Silence…” command slices out silent (or nearly-silent) parts of an audio clip. If you’re familiar with a “noise gate”, it’s similar, but the quiet portions are removed from the project altogether, not just silenced.
Strip Silence splits a single clip up into several clips, one for each continuous section of sound. For example, if you have a recording of someone “speaking… with… long… pauses… between… each… word… like… Shatner… or… Walken…” then apply Strip Silence to it, you will end up with one clip for each word, with empty space in the project where the pauses used to be.
When you select the command, the Strip Silence control panel appears at the bottom of the screen. As you adjust the controls, blue shading will mark the regions that will be cut out (for very long pieces of audio, the Strip Silence command may take a little time to update when you change the controls. You’ll see a progress bar below them while this happens).
There are three Strip Silence controls:
Threshold
Sections of audio are only removed if they’re quieter than this level.
Edge Fade
With this switched off, you’ll get hard cuts between the sound and silent sections. Increase the fading, and the Strip Silence command will fade in just before the start of each piece of audio, then fade out when it returns to silence.
Minimum Silence
This is the minimum duration of silence between two sections of audio. If you’re working with very long audio, you should probably turn this up so your timeline doesn’t resemble the aftermath of a hailstorm. This can be particularly useful for projects such as interviews, if you have a separate recording for each participant.
Once you tap the Done button to confirm the command, the sections marked in blue are deleted from the timeline. Note that the audio left behind is not moved to fill the gaps — the timing of your project is unchanged. You can use the Tighten Audio command afterwards if you want to “ripple” all the deleted sections.
Tip: Like all edits in Ferrite, Strip Silence is non-destructive: the silent parts of the audio are removed from the project, but they are not removed from your device, and can be restored either by tapping Undo, by dragging the edges of the pieces to “uncover” more of the audio, or even simply adding the audio back into the project.
Note: While the panel is open, you can zoom in and out of your project, pan around, and listen to it, but you can’t make edits until you either confirm or cancel the Strip Silence command.

Timery has adopted Toggl’s new API, which has enabled some great new features. First, the time tracking app for the Toggl time-tracking service now includes three weeks of recent time entries, making it easy to restart previously-used timers. The app’s summary reports allow grouping by projects, tasks, descriptions, tags, and clients. Shortcuts for Mac gets a new Timery action that starts a saved timer from a list of saved timers and includes an optional start time parameter. Timery’s duration interval now includes an option to simplify its format for timers that last less than an hour, and paid Toggl users can set a custom project color and more.

The Fediverse – for folks who don’t already know – is what folks call the constellation of applications that use the ActivityPub protocol. This makes ‘em interoperable in ways the big platforms are not. There are dozens – hundreds – of apps that use the protocol. Personally, I use Pixelfed (think instagram), Mastodon & Pleroma (think twitter-ish), and WriteFreely ( a blogging platform – this one, in fact). What that means is that you can follow all of those activities – photos on Pixelfed, posts on Mastodon and Pleroma, and blog posts on writefreely – all from your e.g. Mastodon account.

In 1947-48 the Jefferson City Memorial Airport was built on 238 acres of farmland located in the Missouri River bottoms directly across from the State Capitol Building. The original construction consisted of one paved runway that was 2,500 feet long, and two grass strips, each of which were also 2,500 feet long. Improvements were made to the runways in 1956, 1963, 1972, and 1985, resulting in the configuration that we have today. Currently, the main runway (12-30) is 6,000 feet long by 100 feet wide with a concrete surface. It is equipped with high-intensity runway lighting and several instrument approach procedures. The crosswind runway (9-27) is 3,400 feet long by 75 feet wide. It has a concrete surface and medium-intensity runway lighting. Both runways have parallel taxiways. Additional facilities include the Airport Terminal Building, which was constructed in 1966, and the Air Traffic Control Tower which was commissioned in 1973. Air traffic control services are available from 6:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., daily. Control Tower staffing is provided by Midwest Air Traffic Services, Inc., through a contract with the FAA. Radar approach control services are provided 24-hours per day by Mizzu Approach, which is located in Springfield, Missouri.
Available Services: Aviation Fuel (Jet-A and 100LL), Line Service and Aircraft Parking, Hangars, Flight Training, Aircraft Rental, Maintenance, Parts, and Avionics.
In spring 2019, a year before Bowers came on, the airport was hit by flooding that damaged buildings and runway lighting, culminating in the demolition of the airport terminal, which is currently being rebuilt.
Subliminal Programming. The Commission sometimes receives complaints regarding the alleged use of subliminal perception techniques in broadcast programming. Subliminal programming is designed to be perceived on a subconscious level only. Regardless of whether it is effective, the broadcast of subliminal material is inconsistent with a station's obligation to serve the public interest because it is designed to be deceptive.

The final app in my Home Screen’s third row is ReleaseBot, an app by my son Finn. The app isn’t available on the App Store because it’s specific to the work Federico and I do at MacStories, but it’s a great way to stay current on app releases. We’ve each compiled personal lists of hundreds of apps we want to monitor, and ReleaseBot pings the App Store regularly to see if an update has been released for any of them. When an app gets updated, we get a notification with its release notes in copyable form, which isn’t possible on the App Store, plus a button to open the full App Store entry inline.

The versatile Mastodon client Tusker, which we covered a few weeks ago on AppStories, was updated this week with a lot of enhancements and nice quality-of-life improvements. Some of the highlights include: you can now pin specific public timelines to the Home tab of the app; you can choose to hide rich link preview cards; the Bookmarks screen now supports infinite scrolling to load large sets of bookmarked posts; there is proper state restoration for more screens in the app; and, my favorite, you can now choose to sync your timeline position using the Mastodon API rather than iCloud. In my early tests, I haven’t been able to sync my Home timeline with the Home tab in the Mastodon web interface, but the Tusker developers mention in the app’s settings that it’s a known limitation. The Mastodon sync API seems to be a relatively new and barebones option that’s not widely supported yet, so I hope to see more work from the Mastodon team put into this feature soon. Eventually, I’d love to seamlessly switch between iOS and web clients for Mastodon and always keep my timeline position.

A plain-text editor for macOS with a focus on a minimalistic user interface, pretty and customizable themes, and useful features.
I enjoy having a small text editor for plain text files. Many editor apps try to do too much, or try to be portable and then sacrifice functionality instead. I decided I wanted to build something simple and targeted to macOS only so that I could use all of the cool features of macOS.
This project was inspired by a previous project of mine, TipTyper, which was also a plain-text editor, but written in Objective-C. That was the project that taught me Cocoa programming. Now that I feel I have an improved level of knowledge of Cocoa, I felt it would be appropriate to re-do that project, but now using the fantastic Swift programming language.
And because some people prefer light text on dark background, others dark text on white backgrounds, some others enjoy sepia tones, and others something completely different, I felt it was important to have a capable theme engine to allow the user to pick whichever colors they want for the entire document interface.
Work in this project is still ongoing, albeit a bit slow.
astonaut is a client for Mastodon, the distributed social network with over 2 million users worldwide.
I enjoyed using Mastodon a lot in the past already, but I felt that the experience could be better if I were using it from a desktop app instead of a web browser.
So I started this project back in December 2018, and six months later it made its way to the Mac App Store. Mastonaut has already gathered a significant user base, and I've since updated the app several times to add more features. It is an ongoing project that I work on during my spare time.
It is a Cocoa app written mostly in Swift, with some logic that's bound to strings and attributed strings processing in Objective-C for performance. No third party libraries are used, with the exception of MastodonKit (a library for the Mastodon API) and SVGKit, to render SVGs on the fly.
A lot of technical effort was placed on making Mastodon's custom animated emoji look good in the app, since most other clients (including for iOS) simply display their static versions. This is a whimsical feature that is technically difficult to implement well in Cocoa/AppKit, but I deemed it a worthwhile one, and in the end it looks great.

!-repair-items-lastpass, so that customers can review the items manually and compare it to their LastPass counterpart. #20076- We’ve fixed an issue where the list of accounts in the pop-up to create a new vault wasn’t updated when another account was unlocked. #19982,#18880
- We’ve fixed a visual issue where some tooltips in the app would adjust in size after being displayed. !16239
- We’ve fixed a small visual issue related to the tooltip for the Reveal Password button on the lock screen when using a keyboard to navigate. !16239
- Search filters like
=untaggedcan now be used without keywords. #19917- 1Password will now automatically lock in more specific conditions, like when you log out of your current user or the screensaver is activated. !16221
- We’ve fixed an issue that caused the New Vault and Collections screens to not update after unlocking another account. #19982,#18880
- We’ve fixed an issue where deauthorizing a specific device and updating your sign-in details at the same time wouldn’t remove the local copy of the data on that device. (Thanks, Michael Rops!)
The Mail.app doesn't export selected message to TXT programatically. You can use GUI scripting, but GUI scripting is bad solution in this case. Exists other way, described here.
The script assumes the message is selected in the Mail.app and creates text file on the desktop, but you can indicate other folder.
Bullshitters, Frankfurt argued, are worse than liars. They don’t care whether something is true or false. They care only about rhetorical power — if a listener or reader is persuaded.
Say that A and B, both fluent speakers of English, are independently stranded on two uninhabited islands. They soon discover that previous visitors to these islands have left behind telegraphs and that they can communicate with each other via an underwater cable. A and B start happily typing messages to each other.
Meanwhile, O, a hyperintelligent deep-sea octopus who is unable to visit or observe the two islands, discovers a way to tap into the underwater cable and listen in on A and B’s conversations. O knows nothing about English initially but is very good at detecting statistical patterns. Over time, O learns to predict with great accuracy how B will respond to each of A’s utterances.
Soon, the octopus enters the conversation and starts impersonating B and replying to A. This ruse works for a while, and A believes that O communicates as both she and B do — with meaning and intent. Then one day A calls out: “I’m being attacked by an angry bear. Help me figure out how to defend myself. I’ve got some sticks.” The octopus, impersonating B, fails to help. How could it succeed? The octopus has no referents, no idea what bears or sticks are. No way to give relevant instructions, like to go grab some coconuts and rope and build a catapult. A is in trouble and feels duped. The octopus is exposed as a fraud.

fix a 39 year old bug where changing the last line in a file wouldn’t refresh properly.
With low carbon emissions, and no requirement for expensive ground infrastructure like airports or roads, because they can load and unload cargo while hovering, airships could be a sustainable solution for logistics across the globe.
As many Infinite Flight users anticipate our first release of the year, we'd like to give you a quick update as to where things are headed. We have some UI changes and a great new feature to help curate a more interesting experience using our simulator. With this, our multiplayer server updates, and a lot of behind-the-scenes improvements comes the potential for more troubleshooting. During this time, our airport editing team keeps cranking out new 3D airports!
As a result we're gearing up for 23.1 which will include a huge list of new airports, a collection of new liveries across several aircraft, and many bug fixes and performance improvements. Our goal will be to deliver our new secret feature with UI updates, even more 3D airports, and the Challenger 350 starting in 23.2, and onward. In the mean time, our 3D artists are underway working on the mighty A380!
Stay tuned for more information on the release of 23.1.
the required compute power for getting things done might be a lot less than you think.

When I heard that Tesla sued for this review I assumed it was because Clarkson did the whole review by making jokes about the roadster not even being able to finish a lap, and then ending it by pretending that the battery spontaneously exploded. But this is actually really level headed and any gripes don’t look exaggerated or made up.

most of the time, we’ve already worked out much of what we need to say in another text document.
Dragging an HTML file or an image into BBEdit will now generate appropriately formatted Markdown.
"Process Duplicate Lines" provides a new option: "Ignore empty lines". When not using a pattern match, turning this option on will leave any empty lines (i.e. lines which contain no characters other than the line break) alone, even if there are multiple lines in sequence. This option has no effect when "Match using pattern" is turned on.
BBEdit keeps a history of find/replace searches, and lets you save complex grep patterns with names for easy recall.
Hey everyone! We started testing the beta and we are close to getting it into your hands.
The good news is that the beta has cleared Apple’s review process, so we should be able to push updates a little faster now.
A few newly discovered bugs are important enough to spend the next few days squashing them before we go to a broader release. We also don’t want to release it on a Friday as we’d prefer to be around to address feedback quickly.
If all goes well, we hope to give you both the Mac + iOS beta with sync next week. Stay tuned!

the Ask for Input action now lets you enter multi-line text instead of one line at a time only. As an advanced user of the app, I’m glad I can now – checks notes – enter multi-line text in a dialog.
