I own way too many clicky keyboards. I love relaxing in hammock chairs and I have deeply obscure Simpsons references for every situation.

@harpaa01.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy@jaredwhite one of my professional goals is to become so useless that a company pays millions to get rid of me
@harpaa01.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyMe, keeping myself entertained at home: <sits in my hammock chair watching TikToks on my phone> Me, preparing to keep myself entertained for a five hour flight: <downloads multiple movies and TV show seasons, packs a mini game controller in case I want to game, packs my Playdate I haven’t […]

@harpaa01.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy[DHH and the casual racism of the tech industry] DHH: <goes on a bunch of white supremacist tirades on his blog> Tech Youtubers: <yawn> DHH: I use AI to do everything now, including rewriting major parts of Hey in Rust Tech YouTubers: “DHH has gone completely off the rails" […]
@harpaa01.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyThe thing that really frustrates me is that Apple's support humans could do amazing things if Apple built out better tools for them. There are so many complex issues that just go unsolved right now because eventually the sysdiagnose isn't enough, support 🤷 and then the customer gives up.
@harpaa01.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyI mean, seriously, this is whimsical as shit!
@harpaa01.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyIf you long for your macOS Apple menu to have six colors again, you can once again do it with FruitMenu Redux! https://totallynotmalicious.com/
It's a steal at $7 right now too, and the developer @rosyna is the OG of haxies for what we used to call Mac OS X (it was the style at the time).
@harpaa01.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyProbably wise that Apple walked back plans to fire thousands of human support workers in favor of AI given that their AI support told me last Friday that the watch I was using hadn’t been released.

@harpaa01.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyI’m kind of a TikTok packrat and I save all the interesting TikToks to my camera roll to put them in a Dropbox folder later. But renaming hundreds of short video clips is kind of a pain in the ass. So… I made Nameatic! In case there’s anyone out there with the specific need I had, here you go […]

@harpaa01.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy@madfordmac.bsky.social they announced this a year or two ago but the way they do it is pretty sound. their private cloud compute servers run in such a way that they're basically as private as your own device; they just happen to be on remote machines. The lengths they went to are really quite […]
@harpaa01.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy@atpfm regarding the iPhone Air: I maintain that Apple didn't make the iPhone Air because they wanted to sell a bunch of them; they made it to master some of the manufacturing techniques that would be necessary to make the Duo.
@harpaa01.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyDemocrats need to learn that this practice isn’t okay, and if they won’t learn it and change their platform before Election Day then they are going to have to learn it by losing on Election Day.

@erininthemorning.comReposted by @harpaa01.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyHoly shit. Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined. "I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports." This is getting out of control.
@harpaa01.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyRandom Simpsons thought: I really adored the one-off character June Bellamy (she was in the Poochie episode; she voiced Itchy and Scratchy). She was a voice acting legend but treated Homer as a peer immediately. She was appreciative of him despite his lack of experience and at the end of the […]

This is such a bummer; I loved how RapidAPI (nee Paw) was a fantastic Mac-assed Mac app.
@harpaa01.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyRE: https://icanthascheezburger.com/2026/09/a-test-ride-with-ridealsos-tm-b/
I took a test ride on a pedal-by-wire bike today and wrote a few words about it!
@harpaa01.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyRivian finally made a vehicle whose lack of CarPlay doesn't bother me.
@harpaa01.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy@samhenrigold also interesting that they only mapped the male fruit fly brain, suggesting that the female fruit fly brain is considerably more capable and is thus a larger endeavor to fully map.
@harpaa01.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyI’m glad others are feeling this issue in tech too.
If it’s bothering you too I hope you talk about it, even if you feel like you’re repeating same points as this post or mine from a few days ago.
