Fixing Safari on Monterey?

Code on GitHub

AppleScripting Do Not Disturb Mode in Big Sur (macOS 11.0)

Is it possible to AppleScript or use a shell script or programmatically turn on (and off) Do Not Disturb mode in Big Sur (macOS 11.x)?

This GitHub project worked in 10.14 and 10.15 but requires more than we're willing to do to work around it in Big Sur.

Any ideas?

P.S. Will look at this but I don't think it's any better. Just no time to look at the code right now.

I Love Me Some Bad Game Videos

Natalie and I laughed like nutjobs one Christmas at the bad surgery video game videos.

Kinda wish we had something like this for Catalina…

2019 Glasses/Contacts Eye Prescription

So… it's been awhile. I don't think I wrote my 2015 prescription down, nor my switch to the Oakley Barrelhouse 0.5 frames. I'm sticking with the same frames (in a "matte midnight" color, which has a strong blue tint to it).

My prescription and eyesight actually improved quite a bit. I was -1.25 in both eyes, and am now -1.00 in the right and -0.50 in the left. I hadn't noticed before how bad my eyesight had gotten (with my glasses) out of my left eye, but now I can see it… Anyway:

Left:SPH -0.50, CYL -2.50, AX 143
Right: SPH -1.00, CYL -2.50, AX 50

In contacts that's a Softlens 66 Toric at -100/-050, -225 x 50/150.

Mojave Boots Right Through Single User Mode

In trying to troubleshoot my two-month-old MacBook Pro with TouchBar (2018) ((The front-right USB-C port has never worked - no power, no data, nothing.)), I tried booting into Single User Mode. This had previously worked, but for some reason, it now boots right through it. The text appears on the screen, small like always, and then I get the progress bar and the computer prompts me to log in with the normal login screen.

The MacBook Pro has a T2 chip and thus has the boot security, but those are set to Full Security.

FileVault is not enabled. I've checked that a few times.

I'm not sure what's going on here, but the inability to boot into Single User Mode (cmd-S during startup) is troubling.

SpamSieve Stats March, 2017

I have to reset SpamSieve - my corpus is so old and so weighted toward what spam used to be that it's not as effective as it can/should be now, so I thought I'd do this one last time.

Fixing the t.co and Safari Problem

dscacheutil -flushcache

That's apparently all it takes. A more permanent (actual) fix in Safari is on its way.

I hope this also fixes the delay in loading actual Twitter pages, too, like Lowest Score Wins (@LowScoreWins) | Twitter.

Super Bowl

Vegas wins again: the Panthers were vastly over-rated, and were panicked and confused when they were down.

One has to wonder how the game would have gone if that catch that was upheld as an incompletion would have been ruled, IMO, correctly as a catch. The Panthers wouldn't have been so close to the goal line, would have been moving the football, and… things might have been quite different.
