This permissions update to macOS Sequoia is borderline insane for anyone who uses screen recording / screenshot apps with any regularity.

Tell me the lawyers have infiltrated your software engineer team without telling me…

Tim Sweeney (Fortnite / Epic CEO guy) with the weirdest take on Apple’s Find My. It’s remarkably easy to turn it off on a device you own or have bought off someone. Defending the privacy of thieves is such a weird angle to take.


What does luck have to do with your career? (this is focused on tech, but I think it applies more universally)


I finally sorted out the artwork bug and got my micro.blog podcast (micro-cast?) set up at the popular places. Details on how to subscribe are here if you’d like to hear mostly unedited thoughts I speak out into my phone and publish. Kind of like the rest of my social media experimentation. 😉

Parenting tip: eat the leftover pizza for lunch before your kids remember it’s there. Saves fights over who gets the last pepperoni piece, and you get all the yummy leftover pizza. Win win. 😋


If Apple can’t make Apple TV+ content work without ads being inserted, I feel like just shut it down. Maybe they do need to say no to directors and show runners on big budgets and get back to telling good stories. Or open up the war chest and spend even more if that’s what it takes. Just no ads.


Happy Sunday funday 🍻

Rebellion Beach Life beer can on a table at a cabin

My dad brought this android spyware IPTV box into the cabin and now I have to burn down the network. 😆

A IPTV box and a remote siting on a table.

Turns out the issue with my Micro.blog mini podcast feed was, of course, the artwork. 🤦‍♂️ I should’ve known. (Wrong size / ratio for Apple.) So I went out into my cabin and took a quick selfie with my fav toque to use instead.

AI generated image of a “Canadian recording a podcast” with the caption “Faraway, So Micro”

This is the perfect tiktok. (That would’ve been even better on Vine RIP)


A Test Of My Microblog Podcasting System

It’s been over a month and Apple podcast Connect still hasn’t approved this podcast to be viewed in Apple Podcasts so I’m testing out this episode to see if I can get it to work.

Just a reminder that if you’re going to “friend request” me on Discord, Xbox, iOS Game Centre, Friendster, Foursquare, Dribbble, Untappd, Letterboxd, Geocities, or Hotmail you need to tell me that it’s you.

I can’t recognize MASTERCHIEF213 as “Dave” I know from Twitter.


I saw a tiktok where the person referenced an Epstein related person as a “PDF file”, presumably to get around the algorithm punishing them if they said pedophile and now I just want to think of it as that: he’s a PDF file. 😂
