I'm really liking MacDown 3000 for editing and viewing Markdown files on macOS. Especially the ability to customize the style sheets.

#Apple und #KI: das tragische Paar. Siri vergisst Termine, Konkurrenten verbrennen Milliarden für schlaue Chatbots — und Apple verdient still an allem mit. 1 Mrd. Dollar dieses Jahr allein durch KI-Apps im App Store. Ist manchmal Nichtstun die klügste Strategie? (NZZ)

Nutze jetzt schon wieder länger die #App Loop zum Tracken von #Gewohnheiten. Ich finde sie sehr hilfreich im Alltag und was Design und Einfachheit angeht super, es geht mir nicht um "Selbstoptimierung". Schön ist auch die Möglichkeit, bei einzelnen Ereignissen noch etwas kurz notieren zu könn…

So I'm reading the changelog for the Polish railways' Passenger's Portal app (i.e. checking what they broke), and it turns out that the developers discovered compression.
I mean, the app's been updating "dictionaries" practically every single day for years (surely available stations change frequently), and they weren't even compressed! What's next? Discovering Last-Modified and refetching only if something actually changes?!

You do know you can't copy an album title from #Apple Music, right?
How about the title of a podcast episode from the #Apple Podcasts app? Neah. Am I stupid or what?!? 🤯
This is #Apple software at its best.

Wow, so 1Password has increased its already expensive services. I have only used it for work/volunteer related stuff. I've been using Apple's Keychain and now Passwords App for years.
If you're on a Mac/iOS system and want to switch, 9to5 has a good run down on how to export your 1Password database and bring it into Passwords.
if you've never used a Password Manager, you really really should.

#Apple‘s way of reminding everybody to pay #Patreon creators directly on the website and to use the app only to access content.

For the past years the #Apple app store landing page has constantly been an ad for some mobile game about kings and clans that only existed to get people to pay for in-app purchases.
Now, whenever I open the app store on my phone it's always AI crap: "Learn with ChatGPT". "Do more with Gemini".

I am pleased to report that we discovered how to get the new version of the Knowledge App to work with Apple tv
I pulled the cable out of the box while it was still trying to download the app unsuccessfully. I waited a short while then plugged it back in and waited again until service was restored.
Bingo. The new app was downloaded in a few seconds and works perfectly
I should have tried that first!

EU-App zur Altersüberprüfung: Mini-Wallet – Jugendschutz oder digitale Kontrolle?
EU-App zur Altersüberprüfung startet bald: anonym, Open Source, DSA-konform. Schutz für Kinder oder Einstieg in digitale Kontrolle?

If #Apple does not know how to implement push-based sync (aka automatic sync), which is obvious by now that they do not, at least the apps should provide a “Sync now" action.
I am staring at Journal app on the #macOS #Tahoe and it does not want to sync the latest entry from the iPhone even if that entry was created over 1 hour ago.

I just realised that I use play lists wrong in #podbean #app - now it works great when I use them as intended 😉

Are there any smartwatches comparable to the Apple Watches out there (heart rate, physical exercise kilojoules counting, waterproof, cool watch faces, gay watchbands, plus maybe those heart illnesses detecting stuff, maybe blood oxygen and ecg too and maybe depth sensors for diving like the ultras if it’s not too much to ask) that either work independently from phones (no app needed) or at least work with an app that can be easily installed in any android device (more specifically that can work in an ungoogled Waydroid container on postmarketOS)?
I keep wondering what I’ll use instead of my Apple Watch if I move to a postmarketOS phone…
