I thought I fixed the issue with Messages app alerts not showing up on my Apple Watch. I was wrong. Had to sign out of macOS Messages to get it working again. Seems like something is broken but I can’t tell if it’s iOS or macOS.

He said he'd be back! Arnold Schwarzenegger's action comedy TV series FUBAR will debut on Netflix on May 25, 2023.

I guess it had to happen... there's now a service that can turn your selfie into your favorite meme.

macOS Ventura 13.2.1 has various apps that keep asking for accessibility or other permissions on reboot. To fix it, try restarting your Mac again. It seems to fix the issue, although I have no idea why.

Anyone here using Cloudflare on their website? Are you paying for it or just using the free tier?

Messages suddenly decided to work on the watch again… no rhyme or reason!

Hmmm. Did Ventura 13.2.1 break Messages notifications to Apple Watch? I have to sign out of macOS Messages in order to get Messages notifications on the watch to appear. Can confirm that signing back in on macOS breaks it. Anyone else see this?

Reposting in case you missed it… Weekender #101 — Picard and Ghibli Park

Space Battleship Yamato, Captain Harlock creator Leiji Matsumoto has passed. Thank you for the great stories and animation!

I keep forgetting that cross-posted micro.blog content with more than one link never really works out.

I just wrote about 1Password's Passkeys Directory and wondered when 1Password would announce passkey support. The feature is coming this summer as they explain in this blog post.

I (was forced) to migrate to Ventura. All of my notifications were stuck in Notification Center and I didn't know why. If you use an ext. display, turn this setting on and your notifications will appear. Not sure why this is setting is default off.

I'll be in new laptop setup/migration hell for a bit. Wish me luck.

Hopefully I won't end up regretting this change…

Looks like movetodon.org isn't going to come back before Twitter kills free access to the API. The pettiness of this is over the top, but ¯\(ツ)/¯. Twitter doesn't belong to us.

With the closing of Twitter's free API, so many useful services that use it will cease to function unless they pay for access. If cross-posting stops functioning, not sure what I'll do.

Looking to prevent bit rot as my photo archive gets older and larger. Installed chkbit and tested it out on a folder of images. Seems to work great! I need to run it again with more than 5 workers to see how much faster it gets.
