Congratulations to the @NetNewsWire@indieweb.social team! NetNewsWire 7 for Mac is also available.

Good crowd protesting against ICE in Boston, where it is 15°F (-9°C).

@harshil@mastodon.social 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.

I enjoyed working with @mergesort@threads.net on this cross-promotion discount. I highly recommend checking out @plinky.app@threads.net if you have not already done so.

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

Unread’s MacStories Selects 2025 Lifetime Achievement Award arrived, and looks great on my desk.

Huge thanks to the MacStories team!
