Anybody know if there’s an API for third-party apps to use #SmartScript on #iPadOS18?

I think I must be the only one who remembers “Right Network,” the extremely short-lived far right streaming network promoted by Kelsey Grammer, and its standup comedy show “Right 2 Laugh”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehMl-CztpnA

Recently, #Threads made it so that you can see replies “from the Fediverse” on a Threads post.

But I think “unlisted”/”quiet public” replies might not show up there?

I’m not cool enough to have one of those massive, noisy group texts going, but I have to imagine the summaries in Messages is going to be so great for people who do.

The new iMacs still can’t be used as an external display?

crazy that our descent into authoritarianism didn’t start with ideology, but with vanity

Going to a midnight showing of Frankenhooker tonight, my first time seeing it!

Still the best #Halloween song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iH-Q59geylw #music

I really need to start listening to Siouxsie and the Banshees

I think you have to start out as a weirdo to want billions of dollars (at the expense of other things that make a fulfilling life), but I also suspect that having billions of dollars makes you way, way more weird.

Can’t believe there’s only one more Halloween before the election

Maybe I’m naive, but I take the Washington Post at their word in their reasons for not endorsing. I don’t think they are doing this to get Trump elected or to evade the ire of his supporters. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

New Soccer Mommy *and* new Anna McClellan today #music

Why can’t Google make these “Google Doodle” games into progressive web apps?

This is not really my style of music but I am fascinated by the phenomenon of “Lofi Girl”. Anyhway they are doing a Halloween stream these days: https://www.youtube.com/live/z_d13tqggP4

I just realized I wish I had a Siri shortcut for “turn JavaScript off for five minutes.” That’s not possible, is it?

Should I seriously start using passkeys? They kinda freak me out.

The Apple TV watchlist maxes out at 100 items? I’ve definitely lost a lot of stuff.

Re: Trump’s “exhaustion” — I wonder if he’s just got COVID. When he got it as president he couldn’t really hide that fact, but now as a private citizen he could very easily just be walking around with it.

Software and websites are just getting too complex and brittle. Everything is cracking at the seams, you can feel it.
