Here's how to disable Siri's new floating button in macOS 27
When Siri AI is enabled, macOS 27 adds a contextual "lightweight UI" when you type or select text. The floating button can expand into Ask Siri, Edit with Siri and Writing tools, or other contextual actions.
To disable it, run the following command in the Terminal:
sudo mkdir -p /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain && \
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/WritingTools LightweightUI_macOS -dict Enabled -bool false
and restart your Mac. To restore:
sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/WritingTools LightweightUI_macOS

Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie.

College graduation speeches are often evergreen. They can be given at any time, similar from decade to decade.
Which is why Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker’s “How To Spot An Idiot” at Northwestern’s graduation is so genius.
It is the speech for TODAY

I just released a really important Apollo update.
This version adds the ability for users with remaining subscription time left to decline an automatic refund. Devs pay refunds out of pocket, and this will be about $250K, so I thank you for any consideration there. ❤️

ALT Apollo refund screen with the following header: "Apollo will shut down on July 1, 2023 due to not being able to afford Reddit’s drastic and sudden API pricing increase. Building Apollo for you has been the dream and journey of a lifetime. Thank you. ❤️ Please consider the option below to help with my out-of-pocket refund costs. - Christian (u/iamthatis)” Then with the option to decline a refund: "If you've been happy with Apollo and don't need me to send a pro-rated refund out-of-pocket for remaining subscription time, please choose this option. I thank you.”

Judging by the amount of Apollo merch that’s sold in the last two weeks without me even mentioning it, maybe I should be in the t-shirt biz instead of apps
So, if you want to pick some up, there’s a bunch of stuff available at cottonbureau.com/people/apol…

I see that for Celtics fans playing with an injury is now a mitigating factor.

Replying to @johnhollinger
will be interesting to hear the officials explain this one because it made all the difference in giving White the time to get his shot up

1. Mahomes is a legend.
2. What is Ossai’s charity? Genuinely feel bad for that kid. He wasn’t trying to hurt anybody.

I think it’s ready… here’s my AirPort concept. Might seem a little rough around the edges. But I think it gets the idea across. behance.net/gallery/16250510…

Yay, maybe NotePlan gets featured this time. It's already the second time I get this. First time nothing big happened.

Twitter not explaining or even acknowledging what’s going on shows a certain contempt not just for developers of third-party apps but also a percentage of its own users, including some pretty influential ones. 9to5google.com/2023/01/12/tw…

Tweetbot and other clients are experiencing problems logging in to Twitter. We’ve reached out to Twitter for more details, but haven’t heard back.
We’re hoping this is just a temporary glitch and will let you know more as soon as we know more.
