Looks like @roll20app is hiring a senior product manager: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

Zinequest has kicked off on Kickstarter, back to its regular time of the year. Always worth checking out, plenty of fun gems in there to discover.

Third party apps have long been the best way to experience Twitter, but that’s over. For me, that means Twitter is officially dead & has just been replaced by a _remarkably_ worse (possibly unusable) product. This leaves a huge hole in my life, honestly. macrumors.com/2023/01/19/twi…

I was gonna say that the Twitter macOS desktop app wasn’t the _worst_, but then I realized it couldn’t even remember it’s window dimensions after too long a time closed, so… Yeah, Elon’s petty targeting of specific 3rd party apps is making Twitter nearly unusable.

Looks like Twitter may have been specifically targeting a few third party apps. It’s disappointing & petty, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised and just be glad we have a couple more months of it when the new regime came in. macstories.net/stories/twitt…

It’s more than a little ridiculous that I have to keep checking @tweetbot’s feed to find out if there has been any update on Twitter breaking it’s API and third party apps. Seems like it’s still borked.

Without third party apps like Tweetbot, I’m not sure there is a palatable Twitter experience. Hope it’s fixed sooner rather than later, or my experience with the bird site will dramatically change, one way or another.

Looks like @tweetbot can't sign into Twitter anymore. Here's hoping it's a temporary issue and not a Sign of the End.

Bosom

@zoom The latest update automatically opens Outlook every time I want to schedule a meeting and I want it to never, ever do that but can’t find any option to disable that. Am I missing something? If not, _please_ at least allow some toggle in a future update.

Holy shit - Zoom on a Mac now automatically opens Outlook after scheduling a meeting and I cannot figure out how to launch that “feature” directly into the goddamn fucking sun. Jesus. I’m sure that’s great but if I wanted to use Outlook I’d open it. Ever.

Never knew that an old disc could lock up a CD drive. Then I learned as I copied over old CD-RWs of anime & Asian movies. I also never knew it could crash a whole computer. But then I learned that, too. Are my powers growing, at this point? Am I flying too close to the sun?

DRM is just bad. There’s no real upside. We had a golden era of streaming and digital video, but with the shit HBO Max has been pulling, the proliferation of platforms, and then shit like this, I feel like we’re in for a Dark Time for a while. 9to5mac.com/2023/01/04/ios-1…

I haven’t even played Bloodlines but I still miss Vine.

Not everyone needs a top-of-the-line computer, but the only thing I have seen cheap computers and strict IT controls result in is a waste of everyone’s time and good will. Just give people good tools and trust them to use them.

It’s like a documentary of my play style

Finally getting to the Grand Line in One Piece and realizing how perfect a setting it would be for Agone.

We just _cannot_ catch a break, can we? Just got the basement fixed from its leak and today we found the garage flooding. Again, minor and not much was damaged (most important stuff wasn’t on the floor in the garage), but _still_ - wtf?

Fascinating article about the power of games to show new perspectives - and how some folks don’t sit down at the table open to that. It also helps demonstrate the value of embracing diversity. I recommend taking a moment to read through it. wavellroom.com/2021/01/15/wa…
