I haven't seen this done before, using emoji as fallback if your icons don’t load. Neat.

A bullet list. Person emoji, calendar emoji, map pin emoji.
The same bullet list, but now with proper iconography.

i’m absolutely terrible at taking photos. i was in glasgow on vacation and i have three images in my camera roll to show for it

a fall out boy concert
a digital billboard at the glasgow train station for super mario bros wonder
a completely unremarkable shot of my view on scotrail. not even looking out the window or anything, just the gray seat back in front of me with a tray table down and a cup of tea on it.

@samhenrigold but there’s so much to photograph in glasgow!!!

@samhenrigold mostly 3, but a little of 1 probably wouldn’t hurt

Not sure if I'm a "gifted kid", but people always said I'm talented in many areas but also lazy af. I've never seen a psychotherapist as an adult. Don't know what adderall and SSRI are. Spent half my life trying to convince myself to be straight though so there's that.

gonna say a brand new sentence but #LastWeekTonight had an absolutely star studded produce section last night

sam henri gold

why yes i did take one college class in data visualization

An X-Y axis chart where the X axis spans from “hetero subtext” to “queer subtext” and the Y axis is “hetero text” to “queer text”.
“Hetero subtext, queer text” quadrant: I Kissed A Girl by Katy Perry, JoJo Siwa.
“Queer subtext, queer text” quadrant: Sophie, Muna, Troy Sivan et. al
“Hetero subtext, hetero text” quadrant: Charlie Puth, train, Megan Traitor.
“Queer subtext, hetero text” quadrant: Ethel Cain, One Direction, Wouldn’t It Be Nice by The Beach Boys.

Björk is in the exact center.
Michael B. Johnson

@samhenrigold @joesteel Can't decide if I'm annoyed that Jill Sobule's OG "I Kissed a Girl" is not on there or relieved for her.

@samhenrigold if you make this a TikTok maybe you’ll make @reckless1280’s list of “TikToks that could be a PhD thesis in media studies”

gimme a truly hidden mac/iOS tip. i want obscure. like Pinch-an-iOS-Print-Preview-to-Create-a-PDF obscure. like Summary service-level obscure:

The text of an entire article highlighted in Safari. Under the right click context menu, the Summarize option under the Services submenu is highlighted.
The Summary Service window opened over Safari. The highlighted paragraphs from Safari has been truncated to three excerpts.

In Apple apps that edit files, you can hold alt/option in the "file" menu to reveal the "save as" option.

In general, alt-clicking things can lead to interesting results. For example, alt-clicking the wifi icon in the menu bar would reveal tons of useful details about your connection. Alt-clicking the sound icon would allow you to switch the audio input device. And so on.

@samhenrigold option clicking the rounded rectangle in the shape popover in iWork apps gives you a non-continuously curved rectangle in case you’re feeling crazy for 2009

@samhenrigold

Here's one, you can delete stuff from an open/save dialog box (or create a new folder if you're feeling frisky) by right-clicking in it.

Too lame? Here's another one:

You can drag and drop a file or folder in an open/save dialog box to jump to that specific item. Very handy.

in a new apple tv app update, youtube will hijack the system timeout screensaver/sleep function and use their new “ambient display” mode. cannot be disabled.

do we wanna place bets on how long until this space becomes a new ad unit? i give it 3 months.

figured it out. i had to restore the ipod and put it into airplane mode before connecting the adapter. the adapter will tell the system to look for firmware updates and then it will install one that isn’t compatible with iOS 6.

“God had no hand in the creation of this abhorrence. The fact that this is the only way I can get it to work proves that God is either impotent to alter His universe or ignorant to the horrors taking place in his kingdom.”

Ah, the promise of “it just works” meets the cold light of day. Impressive troubleshooting!

Having trouble with my iPod touch 5 (16GB, 6.1.3) and the Lightning AV Adapter. I bought the adapter today, plugged it into my TV, no signal. Used my iPhone X (16.4), it mirrored no problem.
When I plug the adapter into the iPod, it gets that blue pulsing status bar, so it sees *something* getting connected.

I'm not sure how to debug this. Anyone have thoughts?

@samhenrigold maybe it's trying to output at a resolution higher than the iPod can handle or something?

🚨MY DVR NO LONGER LETS ME FAST FORWARD THROUGH ADS IN A RECORDING.🚨 WHAT KIND OF AUTHORITARIAN ENDHITTIFICATION BALONEY IS THIS.

got a Nerd Question for you all: for an upcoming @lickability design thread, I need to screen record an iPod touch 5 on iOS 6. can someone tell me if this workflow would work before I buy it:

iPod > Lightning Digital AV Adapter > capture card > computer

Alternatively, is there a better way that doesn’t sacrifice quality? It’s jailbroken, but it looks like all of the screen recording tweaks that support 6 have poor FPS. And AirPlaying to my mac leaves that ugly blue bar (+ airplay degradation)

@samhenrigold @lickability Have you tried Display Recorder by Ryan Petrich? I used to use this about 12 or so years ago:
rpetri.ch/cydia/displayrecorde

Sam Gross

@samhenrigold @lickability the digital AV adapter also has AirPlay degradation. Internally it’s just an AirPlay receiver.

this is a terrible parenting technique

WWDC slide: Layout procedure. First, a parent proposes a size for child. Then, child chooses its own size. Finally, parent places child in parent’s coordinate space.

@samhenrigold My 11 year old is already taller than me (thanks to his birthparents), so I suppose this may have been a mistake on our part.

(to the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody) Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn
