Interesting and useful-looking personal database app for iOS and macOS. I haven't really needed a database app like this for a long time, but it's worth keeping a note of this should it became a requirement.

It looks good enough that I almost want to try and find a reason to use it.

Stop macOS 15 Sequoia monthly screen recording prompts
Stop macOS 15 Sequoia monthly screen recording prompts

I've not run into the new monthly screen recording prompt yet but I can imagine that when I do it might get annoying. I appreciate Apple being super cautious with security and stuff like this, most of the time, but this feels a bit too much.

It's good to know there is a way to work around it, if you're happy to go "under the hood".

Set the hostname/computer name for macOS
Set the hostname/computer name for macOS

I've had an issue with a Macbook Pro on one particular network where, even though I've set the computer name via system preferences, in the terminal (and via hostname) it's showing as the network-generated name.

This seems to help tidy things up.

Simple Apple/iOS-oriented app that visually shows you "when" your contacts are. Handy at-a-glance view of how available people (and I guess resources) are across timezones.

Problems with Emacs on macOS
Problems with Emacs on macOS

A Twitter thread about issues with Emacs on macOS and how to work around or plain solve them.

Honestly, as someone who's 100% Emacs/macOS, I'd not really noticed any of these -- but I always run Emacs as a fullscreen application in its own desktop space.
