@gerrymcgovern oh good. Was about to post a screenshot of where I had found them (just grabbed my phone to make sure I wasn’t missing something). Glad you found it.

@gerrymcgovern Oh weird. I wonder if that's a geo thing. It's allowed me to completely turn off the feature on both mobile and desktop

@gerrymcgovern I’ve just turned it off on DDG and sync those settings between my machines. Is that not working for you?

For anyone in Chicago looking for tech roles, I'm hiring quite a few with the caveat that they are strictly on-site in River North. Feel free to reach out if you're interested: https://careers.superfile.com

The lesson here is that paying homage to a mob boss "works" so expect to see plenty more of it from Tim and co. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/12/trump-exempts-phones-computers-chips-tariffs-apple-dell.html

I really miss doing some travel.

@kel eh. It was a good idea. You know the system and that’s helpful.

@kel ha. #firstworldproblems , eh?

@kel no. Got a family plan but it’s already full.

Oh how I wish I could use multiple Apple IDs on my work laptop. The managed ID is fine but to be able to share my Apple keyboard, access my music, etc would be wonderful.

@nuala glad you found it. This is a constant issue for me. The only thing that has helped me is AirTags on everything. Those have issues too, but eh… I’ve spent way too much on locksmiths and replacement windows to care. Here’s to hoping you find something that works for you.

@mrchrisadams i could switch back to a wireguard box. Both I’ve hosted on digitalocean and Hetzner boxes. The win for me has been the UX and the Apple tv app but I could probably find workarounds.

@ross ‘ thoughts on AI are pretty similar to my own, even before we talk about the damage AI is doing in all sorts of areas: https://rosswintle.uk/2025/04/my-latest-thoughts-on-ai/

At what point will this trade war turn into a hot war? What are the odds that the US strikes first?

Even the water of Lake Michigan looks peaceful this morning. I’ll take it.

Usually I’m the only person in our building’s little gym at this time of the morning. Went down just now and literally every piece of equipment was in use. There were even a couple of folks with mats on the floor. Weird.

@jnv Thank you.

@kimlockhartga Thank you.

@farktal I’m seeing a lot of folks report issues with it unable to actually get mail after the update and that’s what I’m seeing.

Mail.app is thoroughly broken in MacOS 15.4 and it’s really pissing me off.
