Does Safari on the Mac still steal the feed:// protocol for Apple News?
I’ve tried using it on iPad and nothing happens. Meanwhile, URLs for feeds (.xml, etc) fail to load the file as a page and throw up this message: “Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid.”
I recently did a quick calculation of just how much money I have missed out on as a stay-at-home carer. This includes the potential alternative in which, and I know this is crazy, we as a wealthy nation paid all carers.
It’s a lot of money.
Inconvenient digital thing: “OMG THE UTTER SHAME OF THESE DEVILS WHY DOES THIS TAKE EFFORT TO USE”
Inconvenient physical thing: “Welp that’s just the way it is I mean what can you even do”
… humans are weird.

Apple Announces New Audio Features for Apple Music Subscribers - MacStories
… which Apple confirmed to The Verge, is an Apple Music exclusive. In other words, you won’t be able to purchase lossless versions of music from the iTunes Store.
One of my favourite changes to my behaviour as a writer was massively reducing the amount of qualifiers used whenever I state an opinion.
It’s ok if people disagree with what you say; it is not the end of the world.
It’s ok to choose to use Facebook or to not use Facebook.
It is extra ok to not insult people depending on their choice.
Life is hard enough, ok?
Has the post count in the Mentions tab on iOS Micro.blog always been so small? It must be limited by date or something…
If Apple doesn’t fix certain things about iPad OS this summer I’m going to sell this magic keyboard. If I had a Mac right now this would still be the case; this machine is a great tablet, however not nearly good enough for anybody remotely interested in the web even as a hobby.
Music library control of any kind on iOS is crap. Apple needs to prove they “love music” or “have it in our DNA” or whatever.
Using the free version of WorkFlowy on Safari for iPad because it’s still the best app for list-based outlining that works for me.
Such a shame they haven’t, or can’t update the iPad app to match the keyboard-based controls from the web.
I look forward to trying out the new Bookshelves feature for Micro.blog. Unfortunately I will have to wait; the idea of multiple accounts doesn’t work well for Safari on the iPad in general, let alone for any particular platform.
What I’ve seen so far looks great. So I’ll wait.
Seeing people request that the new Bookshelves feature on Micro.blog be expanded to include movies, music, and so on.
If that were to happen I hope the feature would become a general “Library”. It’s quite a big addition as is, and feels a little odd next to the other tabs.
