Another quick trick from Practical Betterments: Create a default folder for screenshots

1. Press Shift + Command + 5 to open the screen capture interface.
2. Click the Options dropdown.
3. Under Save to select Other location…. This will open up Finder.
4. Navigate to the location you want to save the screenshots to — e.g. Documents.
5. Click New Folder and name the folder Screenshots or whatever you want.
6. Click Choose. That's it!

I especially liked the part about using the Photos App to automatically bring up a list of pictures of receipts.
This way I could easily delete all the business travel expense pictures that accumulated over the years 🧹

[...] Instead, I picture a specific person and I just write for them. Often this person is "me, but 3 years ago" or a good friend.

Great writing advice from Julia Evans.

Since the end of last month, I no longer see new podcast episodes for a podcast that produces daily episodes.
No amount of refreshing or unsubscribing/re-subscribing helped so far.
Especially annoying is that the episodes are there when searching for them, but do not show up in the subscribed podcast while episodes of other podcasts show up without any issues.

Today I finally found a way to fix it:

1. Open the Settings app of the iPhone
2. Go to the app settings for the Podcast app
3. Scroll down and click on 'Reset Identifier'
4. Restart the Podcast app
5. Enjoy your missing episodes showing up again 😎

The DuckDuckGo No-AI Search extension sounds intrigueing and thus I installed it for my Brave Browser.
Will see how this performs in the long term and hopefully improves my personal web search experience.

Happy 24th birthday, x-log 🥳
