OMG it’s my entire childhood!
Donatos was the most common pizza served at school and events growing up, but if you really want the best version of this style I had, it’s at Rubino’s in Bexley, which I’m delighted to see is still there: https://maps.app.goo.gl/miY45Jb6BMHhN52H9?g_st=ic
A LAN party of Total Annihilation with my friends and a stack of Rubino’s pepperoni pizzas was a fantastic time.

Another comically basic bug in Tahoe's TV.app: if you remove a download from this menu, you cannot remove any other downloads from this screen (because the menu item won't appear in their context menus!) until you navigate to a different section, then back to Downloaded.
I really have to wonder if anyone at Apple uses this app…

I didn't realize that Hetzner had expanded to the US. And their prices are WAAAAYYY cheaper than Linode’s now.
(Turns out that charging 20% higher prices for the same resources over ~5 years in the web-hosting business makes you pretty easy to beat.)
Seriously looking at Hetzner now. Any experiences running medium-scale applications there, like maybe 20 server instances with ~a terabyte of databases?

Stumped by this one. Setting up an iPad with iCloud restore, and none of the apps are downloading automatically. Tapping one brings this up.
I'm on my Wi-Fi network, other connectivity works… and while this iPad does have cellular, no plan has ever been activated on it yet.
Reboots and Reset Network Settings haven't fixed it. iPadOS 26.1. Tapping "Download" immediately downloads the item over Wi-Fi.
Anyone ever see this? Any ideas?

Dye’s “consistency” poorly attempts to solve a problem no Mac users had, by radically redesigning the Mac to be utterly unlike itself, carelessly discarding decades of thoughtful design, function, and delight without bothering to understand any of it, and lacking adequate resources to replace it with anywhere near the quality and consideration that it once had.
It’s the sad conclusion of macOS’ takeover, under Tim Cook, by people who seem to kinda hate the Mac.

It’s naive to believe Cook can ever satisfy Trump for more than a day. It will never be enough. It never is, for anyone.
There is no lasting peace between Trump and anyone. Once you placate him, the only way to stay in his good grace is to continually ramp it up. You're always one arbitrary bad mood away from him turning on you and ripping your head off, no matter what you've done for him in the past.
It's unwinnable. Tim Cook sold Apple's soul for ten minutes of peace.

I don't want to seem like I'm nitpicking too much, but the "Hold This Call?” UI needs another pass.
The small "Hold” button is nearly touching the needlessly tiny dismiss (✕) button, which only seems about 24pt wide.
This will be error-prone for lots of people in practice. Opposite actions should not be represented by tiny, immediately neighboring touch targets.
I know it's a small thing, but it's the kind of thing that has me worried that institutional UI talent is drained or marginalized.

Honestly, this is making Terminal (and Safari) in Tahoe VERY hard for me to use.
Tabs in Tahoe are extremely difficult to distinguish from each other and from the active tab.
I've never switched away from Safari, and I've never investigated third-party terminal apps, but if this ships in the fall, I'll most likely need to do both. And I really, really don't want to.
Please, Apple, fix your design. Computers aren't passive "content" viewers — they're tools.

Liquid Glass’ blurred content everywhere is especially cruel to those of us who use reading glasses or progressives.
The reflex to seeing blurry text on our phones is to adjust our sight angle or distance to sharpen it. But, of course, it’s not our fault, doesn’t sharpen, and just causes eyestrain.
Text on my phone should never be blurry.

2025-06-24 20:09:46 CEST

True. But that's true of every big fandom.
Google's been doing *wildly* unethical things for years, and most nerds never called them out because they made great tech, it worked well, and we liked the nerdy ethos that the founders had.
Like Apple, that ethos left a long time ago, but it's hard for us to stop believing it. We *want* to believe, because we're fans!

This is a core system app interrupting you, promoting a sale by a movie-ticketing company, to push you to go see the platform vendor’s new movie.
Why not just pop up random ads all the time, always creating new channels that everyone’s opted-into by default so you can never keep up with opting out of them all?
Oh wait, that’s already what happens.

We've known for decades that translucency in UIs looks really cool, but is extremely difficult to design in a way that works with arbitrary content across versatile situations.

They haven’t.
It still looks cool in some contexts, and utterly fails in others.

Not new (2023), but this exemplifies Apple’s culture of arrogance and entitlement.
By their logic, the local electric company “facilitates” a large portion of my Apple-device use. They should claim that they created the platform that lets Apple devices exist, and demand a third of their revenue.
What about my ISP? Cellular provider? Router manufacturer? The wires in my walls? The pizza place down the street, for fueling my body as I type?

I'd say podcast tech "moves very slowly", but even that's generous — podcast tech hardly moves at all.
But that's a GOOD THING!
Most efforts to move podcast tech "forward" have failed due to insufficient adoption. But most would’ve meant more potential for platform lock-in and increased ad-tech and tracking possibilities, either by design or as unintended consequences.
Podcasts' technical simplicity is not a problem to be solved — it's a defense from platform vultures and ad-tech assholes.

I've never thought to try it again.
The same benefits and risks would still apply. CBR is INCREDIBLY wasteful for podcasts, but I bet lots of platforms still don't seek properly in long VBR MP3s.
One solution could be adding multi-enclosure-format support to the podcast ecosystem, where we offer modern clients a list of formats and let them pick more advanced ones if they support them.
But I bet ZERO big DAI platforms, and therefore zero popular podcasts, would support it.

It was still MP3, but I tried VBR encoding.
In 2016, I wrote: https://marco.org/2016/08/15/vbr-mp3-plea
ATP: https://atp.fm/182
It worked! The following year's Apple OSes (iOS 11+) implemented support for all three VBR-seek-table standards — MLLT, VBRI, and Xing/LAME-tag.

But when I later tried releasing ATP in VBR with all three tags, we got so many problem reports from Android users that I went back to CBR after one episode:

I disagree. We on the “broadcast” media often underestimate how many people don’t participate.
I keep stats on the most popular Overcast link-share destination apps. What do you think tops the list?
Not Facebook or X or Instagram or Snapchat.
It’s Messages, by a MILE, then mostly other private-messaging apps! The first public-social-network app is #12 on the list, averaging only 1% as many shares as Messages.
Private messaging is FAR more popular than social media.

Love the idea of Mozi, and I sympathize all too much with Ev's rationale in creating it.

Trump ruined my red hat.
Elon ruined my Tesla.
Enough is enough. I refuse to let this guy ruin my Peak Design Everyday backpack.

I celebrated Black Friday by raising my price for the first time in 8 years. THERE ARE NO RULES!

The bar is always fun at 9 PM.
But that bar never stops serving, and more people just keep coming in the door.
Just wait until 4 AM.

I've been around this block a few times.
I have NEVER seen any kind of cross-posting work well.
Anyone who thinks it's working for you: it's not.
Cross-posting spews your messages into contexts they're not optimized for and communities that you're not really engaging with.
You get out of a social network what you put into it. If you're not really getting to know each place and tailoring your engagement to it, you're not really there, and it shows.

"I deactivated both my personal account and my app's account from Twitter two years ago, which significantly improved productivity and morale, reduced distractions and PR risks, and hasn't had any noticeable effect on my reach or business metrics.”

In perfect unison.
Does anyone still think their buddy Tim Cook is any better than the rest of them?
Fuck them all.

Yesterday I wrote an "if case let" for an enum with an associated value successfully by myself without a web search and it was by far the biggest win of the day

For reference, for the people saying I shouldn't raise my price:
Pocket Casts: $40/year
The Podcast App: $37/year
Castbox: $35/year
Castro: $25/year
…
Overcast: $10/year
I have no problem telling everyone this now: I'm raising my price in the near future.
I've only waited this long because I wanted to give you some new stuff at the same time!

Upgrading to Sequoia, for some reason, finally broke my old, pre-subscription use of Fantastical.
(It's not that I don't like the app… I'm just perfectly happy with the functionality of the old version and don't need any of the newer features.)
In completely unrelated news, I am not charging enough for my subscription.

I have LOTS of thoughts already about the Camera Control, how third-party vs. Apple cases handle it, the new Photo Styles, and the Watch Series 10.
These are not boring releases at all.
Saving it all for @npub1f30…d2kp on Monday night.

Tried a new dog groomer and I thought the blueberry scrub was ridiculous but now my dog is happy and smells like blueberries and it's delightful

Damn, AnandTech is stopping publication:
“Still, few things last forever, and the market for written tech journalism is not what it once was – nor will it ever be again. So, the time has come for AnandTech to wrap up its work, and let the next generation of tech journalists take their place within the zeitgeist.”
