I’m continuing Myst tonight! Last week I solved a piano puzzle and took a rocket to a new Age! It’s quite misty here, and the sky is bright cyan 🤔

Happy #MARCHintosh! I’m playing Myst tonight for the first time in 30 years! But first I want to talk about HyperCard, a wonderful program by Bill Atkinson that inspired not just Cyan and many other game devs, but also the web. We can still learn a lot from it!

There are a lot of dumb things my computer does but this is like… really high up there #macOS #MacDev

In macOS 15, Apple removed the option to right-click and choose “Open” to bypass Gatekeeper and run an unsigned app. Instead, you open the app, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, and click a button to allow it.

This process doesn’t work in macOS 15.1. Given the notice above, this seems like an unintentional bug to me.

I finally ordered some of AnnK’s Dank Zines recently and they just showed up the other day. The quality is really nice and they came with a bunch of cute stickers! Had to get the issue with Mac Games and Swamp Witch obviously. Immediately after I ordered these there’s a new issue with The Crimson Diamond on the cover soo… time to place another order

Since I got my MacBook Air I keep having an issue where, as far as I can tell, some unknown app that doesn't have UI is activating and taking focus. It happens maybe 2-3 times a day. When it happens, the app I'm using is still the front-most visible app, but it's no longer active—so if I'm typing, or trying to use a keyboard command, it doesn't work. I've tried to track down the cause in Console, but there's so much data there I can't tell what's going on. Any idea now to track this down? #MacOS
