An Interview With ConcernedApe#youtube.com

ConcernedApe is a genius.

I listened to some of the Stardew Valley music today (via Spotify) and it's still so good. I'm really really excited for Haunted Chocolatier.

Messaging#tiktok.com

thisiscory has a really solid history / comedy / political Tiktok account that's well worth watching:

you fight on the accomplishments and successes

This is in my opinion a correct take.

Skins Game#youtube.com

This is one of the best YouTube golf videos I've watched in a while.

The Bryan Bros and Grant are such an amazing trio. Plus throw in the UK contingent and you have something very fun with money on the line.

A Ring#daringfireball.net

Two Gruber posts in a row but this one is fantastically written. I was meant to pickup my wedding ring today but it wasn't quite the right size. Maybe I'll place the same sentimental value in the ring that I eventually wear.

Given the circumstances when I went to bed Tuesday night, it was no surprise I was welling up with tears come the morning. But I’d never have expected they’d be tears of joy, with a sense of hope — however diminished — and abiding love in my heart.

The whole piece is very hopeful.

Tech CEOs#daringfireball.net

Gruber went hard here. I agree with him though.

I wonder how much Cook dithered over that cheerful-looking exclamation mark. I hope he regrets it.

Slack App Bugs

I've had this annoying bug in the macOS Slack app this week.

Link opening is broken.

Basically when I click on a link in Slack; say a GitHub pull request link; I expect the window in Safari to then be in focus.

This is how link opening works in all other native Mac apps.

For some reason this no longer works in desktop Slack. I click on a link and the focus stays on Slack. A new tab is opened in Safari which is the correct behaviour but I'm still focused on the Slack window. So I need to manually switch apps to Safari to access the thing I need.

This is driving me crazy. Surely other's have experienced this bug?

Recreating Frank Ocean#youtube.com

I love watching music creation like this. Very inspiring to watch.

Delayed Games Of Football#theage.com.au

Kayo is very important to have from next year.

The deal means that supporters of teams playing anywhere in Australia on Saturday in the first eight rounds will need a Foxtel or Kayo subscription to watch them live, with free-to-air coverage on Seven to be delayed. Only the Anzac eve, Anzac Day and Dreamtime games will be shown live on free-to-air if they fall on a Saturday.

But for Victorian audiences, that arrangement lasts longer, and extends to the first 15 rounds before Seven can broadcast Saturday night games live. Seven has the rights to broadcast Thursday and Friday night matches, and Sunday afternoon games, and the overall number of free-to-air games broadcast will remain the same as they were under the previous agreement. Fox Footy will use dedicated commentary teams for each match.
