I tweet about space, strategy, deterrence, python, and other random things. Not necessarily in that order. RT ≠ official endorsement. @RhetTbull@fosstodon

So you’re telling me Apple has been working on the operating system for 12 years and all they did was lower the opacity of everything to 40%?

Rhet Turnbull Oh, I forgot to post a link to his amazing osxphotos utility: github.com/RhetTbull/osxp… TL;DR: if you've ever wanted direct access to the database that Photos.app uses, whether to get the images, metadata, etc., this is your ticket!

Why do people use @zelle? The UX and entire experience of sending/receiving money is so much worse than Venmo or PayPal . Yet it seems to be a preferred method for many people...what am I missing?

Quitting programming as a career right now because of LLMs would be like quitting carpentry as a career thanks to the invention of the table saw.

I love using Anthropic ClaudeCode but tired of paying for a subscription only to constantly see this: "Claude usage limit reached. Your limit will reset at 11am (America/Chicago)."

Warms my open source heart to see someone make their first contribution. Could you imagine sending a PR to Microsoft to update the start menu? Or to Apple for toning down liquid glass?

Dear Amazon stop asking me to create a passkey! It screws up login for the multiple users in my household. I do not want your passkey. Ever. You are creating friction to spending money at Amazon. Is that really what you want?

If your logo, decor, and menu has been working for 48 years, maybe don't mess with it Cracker Barrel You replaced the fried chicken with dry oversized tenders, made the interior sterile, and now you've changed the logo everyone who's every taken a road trip instantly recognizes

Something I told 13 yo: If you want to be a good writer, you have to read a lot. Reading trains your ear. There is no shortcut.

"To strengthen our value" Samsung US to start streaming ads to your fridge. No way I'll ever buy a Samsung product after this. Stop shoving ads down our throat. Hey Speed Queen Home can you guys get into the fridge business? notthebee.com/article/samsun…

Why does iTerm2 need more RAM than my browser? I'd switch to Mitchell Hashimoto's Ghostty but it doesn't have `Find` command which makes it entirely unusable for me. MacOS devs, what terminal are you using?

Why GitHub why? What possessed you to change the beautiful dark icon for the bright white inverse that assaults my eyes every time I look at my phone? Seriously, what was the thinking?

Fascinating anecdote from Apple's AI mess: In 2023, their team asked to double their puny GPU count (then <5% of Google), got an OK from Cook, but had the request denied by the finance department. Same year, finance spent $77B on stock buybacks!! youtube.com/watch?v=JUG1Pl…
