Thanks to Overcast I discovered RSSRadio and I’m now using it. The interface has more than it share of quirks and bugs but it does the job.
RT @dresdencodak: The premise of Lucy would bother me so much less if the trailer just said “Look out, Scarlet Johansson drank WIZARD BLOOD!”

I had always resisted it but I must admit I don’t hate having another location to move to (and possibly even work) during the day.

RT @olebegemann: The glowing Apple was fun while Macs were a small minority. Now that (almost) everybody has a Mac, itʼs way to obtrusive for my taste.

I know I could read up about the game again (I already did when it was first announced) but I just shouldn’t need to — not to that extent.

L’autre inconvénient d’avoir des terrasses de bars sous ses fenêtres, c’est qu’on culpabilise à mort de ne rien faire de son samedi soir.

A chaque fois que j’ouvre l’appli Météo (et je passe mon temps à l’ouvrir, because reasons) le programme du week-end change.

“What to expect from Syfy’s 12 Monkeys series”
Shit. Shit is what to expect. That’s all you really need to know.

Does iOS 8 preselect the damn text field contents when you reopen Spotlight before its value has been reset?
“If You Were a Dinosaur, My Love”
Shit, that wasn’t the right Hugo Award nominee to read right before going to sleep.
“Watch Boeing’s 787-9 Dreamliner do things that would make you throw up”
Superb — and stressful to watch.

rdar://17628154: “Kill Swift, Fix Xcode” — Daniel Jalkut
Also, having some personal experience creating new development languages for the Objective-C platform, I’d like to suggest that the appropriate way to introduce a new language is for its creators to spend several months writing nontrivial applications in the language and reviewing the results with experts. This does not seem to have been done.
We started on bad terms because my controller wasn’t operational and I found the game basically unplayable with keyboard and mouse. However, the gamepad control scheme is actually well designed and, once I got it working, the game suddenly became enjoyable.
Like all point-and-click adventure games, there are some puzzles I would never have had the patience to figure out without a walkthrough. And, as you can expect from a game that mixes point-and-click puzzles with shooting action, the combat is annoying and I’d love to be able to skip it. But the atmosphere, writing, and voice acting are all really pleasant and make up for the shortcomings.
Though probably not to the point that I’d buy the upcoming sequel — unless it finds the courage to do away with combat altogether.

Thought it was a joke when I saw the title in a tweet, but it’s a real thing, and well written. Rather unnerving, until I went full-on hostile to regain some control over the situation — more like Teenage Simulator 2014, amirite.

The WSJ says Apple is finally ready to get its CPUs from a new supplier. Samsung acknowledges it’s hitting the ceiling of its market positioning. The sourcing diversification of Retina displays already began a while ago. Is this when the shit hits the fan? #karma
Besson directed a movie about… Aung San Suu Kyi? You’re shitting me. How did I miss that? I can always use a good laugh.
I know I’m missing out on stuff but I just cannot get over clunky controls. Gaming has existed for 40 years; there’s just no excuse anymore.
The keyboard-and-mouse controls for The Fall are obnoxious. Of course I can’t play with my gamepad because… argh I hate gaming on a Mac.

Original Movie Cast Reunite for Alien: Isolation… Pre-Order DLC
How to make awesome news feel awfully gross.
“Who’s gonna wear a smart watch? Nobody’s wearing watches anymore.” NOBODY CARRIED PHONES AROUND BEFORE MOBILE PHONES, EITHER.
I loved Telltale’s The Walking Dead. I really enjoyed the first decade of Fables. And that’s why I bought the whole season of The Wolf Among Us as soon as the first episode came out — I won’t do that mistake again. The first episode received some leniency because one assumed the story was going somewhere, but the season only got less and less interesting as it progressed. It sucked as a detective game. It sucked as an adventure game. It pretty much sucked as an interactive experience. And it wasn’t a very good or interesting Fables story either. The best thing about it is, it’s over.
But, hey, you should read Fables, it’s pretty fun. And if the game contributed to popularize the comic, good.
