A quick Riverside feature request: If Chris Coyier says the phrase “CSS tricks” in any form, automatically insert LeoWhistlingAndPointingAtTV.gif.

@Brilliantcrank Activity Monitor doesn't surface anything?

New blog post: Threads “Share as Image” Feature https://chrisenns.com/2025/06/threads-share-as-image-feature/

The two apps that bring my $3,000 Mac Studio to a spinning beachball halt are not Final Cut Studio (4K+ multi-track editor) or Logic Pro (multi-track studio recording software), but Apple’s Passwords and Contacts app. 😆

Just a reminder to anyone registering their kid in Saskatoon minor hockey, registration fees go up at the end of June so save yourself a couple $$ and do it soon.

This is a core system app interrupting you, promoting a sale by a movie-ticketing company, to push you to go see the platform vendor’s new movie.

Why not just pop up random ads all the time, always creating new channels that everyone’s opted-into by default so you can never keep up with opting out of them all?

Oh wait, that’s already what happens.

Apple’s as bad as everyone else. They don’t respect their customers — we’re fodder.

They truly have no standards anymore.

I just heard the phrase, describing a Trump economic advisor or something, as having “a thumbless grasp of economic trade” and that might just replace “he’s such a potato” as my favorite insult for idiot men who rise way above their pay grade.

After watching Hamilton last night, we were talking with my daughter how differently Canada was founded in comparison to the United States—how so much war and fighting was at the root of American history. Not realizing the USA was literally bombing another country at that moment.

I used to love trying to figure the best plan and deal for getting a new iPhone. These days I’d rather stick with my iPhone 13 until it dies so I don’t have to try and figure out the best option available.

Have I gotten lazy or has buying a phone gotten too complicated?

@kinsale42 It was my kid’s first time seeing it. They loved the “you eat shit for breakfast?” response too.

I had to explain who Bob Barker was. 😆

I’m not sure what I was going to put here, but I kind of wish I would’ve finished this disgusting ring tone product on my Gumroad account way back when. 😆 https://lemonpodcasting.gumroad.com/l/disgusting

@davatron5000 Dave meet your replacement AI host on Shoptalk Show. Marketing says he attracts 23.5 more listeners in the coveted “Will spend money on AI slop” demographic.

Welp. So much for my theory that nobody would trust AI avatars. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/19/ai-humans-in-china-just-proved-they-are-better-influencers.html

If you’re curious how it works to record and edit a podcast using a tool like Riverside, today I’m going to demo it… live on stream? Seems like a bad idea.

Join Tim and I in just under an hour on Twitch or YouTube to see how it goes. http://twitch.tv/lemoncasting

The fact that half of the songs on the Singles original motion picture soundtrack aren’t available to play on Apple Music should break the heart of every gen-x / elder millennial. We are at the mercy of our tech overlords + lawyers if we don’t own vinyl, tape, or CDs. 😢
