Adding an App Group in #xcode feels like walking on a cliff for me now. Twice now I've ended up with errors that flash on and off when I touch them - and nothing will run. I used git to run away... again.

On that placement of the headphone jack on the #macbookneo I say THAT is exactly where it should be!
I think @marcoarment taught me that most wired headphones have the cord on the left ... so why shouldn't it be at the edge of the laptop? Closer to the hinge is worse.
After weathering several iMac's where it was on the right pointed backwards 😵 the M1 iMac putting it on the left bottom was such a relief!
I credit #johnternus since both Mac's came out in his era!

@ridogi @MrRooni I recently helped upgraded a family MBP from macOS14 to 15 (Sonoma) when we first tried to use the computer and forced a "go get the AppleID password" There was no ability to do ANYTHING else. I don't think the OS is fully operational at this stage
- is this because that's when the passkey was activated?

@MrRooni I have one passkey and it is stored in 1Password and it works great! That website forced me to use a passkey. Watchtower is telling me I have 22 items that have passkeys available. None of them are AppleID’s.

@kDelta It's good to point out the distinction between storing biometrics and what Apple does. I guess each device has its own set of unlock stuff stored in its secure enclave - which IS great.
Apple servers have gone down too much and there's too many great things about #1password for me to switch to Apple Passwords. Passkey use is a separate issue. The one I was forced to get - does work well.
1PW is owned by a Canadian company - but they have employees all over the world I believe.

@kDelta 1PW provides assists to prevent access loss including: family admins, web access, & emergency printout suitable for your safe.
My original point was an Apple screen w/ no way to enter anything but a password - you CAN’T use biometrics.
I can see the point that remembering an AppleID password gives similar functionality to 1PW - but not if
a. you have more than 1 Apple ID
b. you have any non-Apple devices
c. you want to log into a family member’s stuff
d. Apple ID fails somehow

@kDelta @rmondello Great … so do you make it easy to remember or write it down? 😖
Seems like an incomplete way to manage passwords especially compared to #1Password
There must be more to the answer - like that screen would have a spot to enter biometrics for a passkey or it will someday. Still, I don't think macOS is all the way up at that point so I'm not sure how a totally passkey world works there. Maybe you unlock another device first?

@rmondello Good to know!
Passkey adoption question for you:
I just upgraded a Mac from Sonoma to Sequoia and the first screen required a AppleID login - there was no way to get to 1Password from that screen. Does that change if I used a passkey? In my non-Passkey world I brought up 1PW on another device and typed my password - what would happen with passkeys?

@peternlewis Oh I didn't disable that macro - and I've consistently said “Don't allow” but it does copy the files as I wanted, so I think it must be something else asking for that access.
Memory use for the last little while is 28.6MB ! so maybe I need to poke more at if some of what I disabled changed that. It sure seems like it.

@peternlewis hmm - I’ll have to dig around. Does disabling a macro make it so macOS wouldn't ask this question?
It does generally take a while for the memory usage to build up. I just disabled quite a few - we’ll see if that changes anything.
My favorite macro was recently created after getting bit by iCloud sync going wrong between a few devices. So now I have KM copy a couple folders from iCloud nightly to my Mac that then get backed up in TM. Previously iCloud stuff could just disappear.

@peternlewis I just found a yellow warning in KM saying that screen recording was off. I turned that on - maybe it was running up against an impossibility?
Also I've been saying “Don't Allow" to the dialog below, Why/when does it need that?
"Keyboard Maestro" would like to access data from other apps. Keeping app data separate makes it easier to manage your privacy and security.

@peternlewis My main Mac is on Sequoia - maybe I have some notification turned off
I should thank you for Keyboard Maestro - I have it doing an ever increasing amount of things. I do sometimes wonder why the engine is chewing through 3 - 5 GB of RAM but I've sort of resigned to the idea that it needs it.

@peternlewis I wonder why I haven’t seen that - is it a macOS 26 thing?
Or do you have to unlock 30,000 uses in a month? 😏

A few tips about DTS - Apple's support for developers. 1/3
Start here: https://developer.apple.com/support/technical/ This lists a lot of things to do before submitting a request. I charged ahead and submitted one anyway.
4 days later I got an email saying that “code level support” is handled through the Dev forum now. This included a very helpful link about writing a good post: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/756175
I submitted a forum post the next day, but maybe moderating took it out

@justkwin and now if we could just get another mini iPhone 🙏🙏🙏
I think I used Excel - but the case volume of the iPhone Air is about the same as a 13 mini so we know it’s possible!

Highly recommended silent movie:

I see that justwatch.com also finds it on publicdomainmovie.net/movie/one-week-0
But that site is full of ads unless your browser blocks them.
Shoutout to brave.com if you want great browser

@apLundell @faraiwe @ai6yr @oneguynick @Taweret my experience is that Hoopla content is the same for everyone with a library that pays. Kanopy is the one that’s different for each library.
They both have AppleTV apps I assume Roku too.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social I certainly hope that the redact feature in Adobe Acrobat isn’t reversible. If someone used something other than this quality - then I bet it WAS intentional.
I mean we hate Adobe for aggressive pricing and marketing - but the software does work.

I think you should do a more full text message and assume people don't know what Mastodon is. Once you are printing a shirt you might as well use the space!
Mastodon - social media done better
✅ Not billionaire owned
✅ Actually Federated - like email
✅ Rules enforced by each owner - not evil!
✅ No algorithm & your data is not sold
✅ Alt text that gets used
✅ Safer

BTW redbubble . com does have some fun fediverse shirt ideas. Meanwhile etsy hasn't got a clue.

@flargh@mastodon.social @aleen@wandering.shop 👍 I wonder why C/D didn’t say it more definitely.
They were always so weird like the Le Car with the cloth roof and 2 wheelbases. Or naming a car a Fuego (fire!) seeing one overheat was very fitting.
