  I am seeing a bug involving keyboard shortcuts for menu items that have no modifier keys on macOS 26.5. I wrote it up at: https://www.virtualsanity.com/202605/bug-involving-keyboard-shortcuts-for-menu-items-that-have-no-modifier-keys-on-macos-265/

  Manton Reece details the obstacles Apple has thrown in his way while he tries to release Inkwell for iOS: https://www.manton.org/2026/05/19/why-is-inkwell-stuck-in.html Dealing with the App Store is the worst part of developing for Apple platforms. I hope that Apple approves Inkwell for iOS soon.

  CBS was founded in 1927. 99 years is quite a run. RIP.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@Aaronvegh/116479327467403801 I am waiting for a build to go through Beta App Review so that I can send it to *one* customer, in order to work through an issue that customer is seeing but that I cannot reproduce. Beta App Review is security theater.

  Waking up to find out that our government started a war with another country is just a thing we do now.

  I genuinely don’t see how anything resembling American democracy will survive if Trump is not removed from office within the next few weeks.

  RE: https://social.goldenhillsoftware.com/@unread/115939588870894251 I enjoyed working with @mergesort on this cross-promotion discount. I highly recommend checking out @plinky.app if you have not already done so.

  @harshil There is an ictool executable (under `Contents/Applications/Icon Composer.app/Contents/Executables` inside the Xcode bundle) that can automate exporting to `.png` files. It does not seem to generate the original `.icon` files. The `.icon` file format is relatively straightforward, though – if you just want to automate creating icons that vary by color scheme. Right-click on a `.icon` file and you will see it is a bundle with a `.json` file.
