Is FaceID coming to Apple Studio Display at some point?
That would go a long way toward making passkeys accessible to me (biometric ones anywayāI donāt really understand what options I have).

Had to put together a talk on short notice and Iām using @ia Presenter. Itās freaky how well this tricks you into writing a good talk instead of fiddling with slides for hours.

Mac apps Iāve been enjoying lately (both old and new):
-
Ivory: welcome this fantastic Mastodon client to the Mac App Store!
-
Tot: this replaced the built-in Stickies app for me. And itās free!
-
Silicio: luxurious mini-player that works with Apple Music and Spotify
-
iA Writer: great for writing and has all the features I need to be my main notes store.
-
Things: Iām not a todo junkie but I canāt keep everything in my head all the time. Things helps me remember what needs to be done.

I dislike the UI pattern of āfloating action buttonsā because they end up blocking some part of the app I want to click or read. I get why they exist, though.

It kind of pisses me off that I canāt take a screenshot of a Netflix video. I understand DRM to an extent but a single still seems like fair game idk.
(My only attempt was using macOSā screenshot tool while using Firefox. Iām sure there are other ways.)

No one I know agrees with me but I like Apple Numbers. And the reason I like it is the reason most people Iāve asked donātāNumbers letās you put multiple tables on a page and move them around.
