Hi, this is Allison Sheridan of the NosillaCast Apple Podcast, hosted at Podfeet.com, a technology geek podcast with an EVER so slight Apple bias. Today is Thursday, February 20, 2025, and this is show number 1033. Since today is Thursday, that’s your hint that there will be no live show this coming Sunday. Zoe, that means you can get to bed at a reasonable hour this weekend.

Are Apple’s Gestures Getting More Fiddly, Or Is It Just Me?
After I posted my article on the fiddliness of Apple gestures, Sumocat on Mastodon let me know that you can remove items from Control Center on iPhone. I think I knew that but didn’t think about trying to remove the Music option.
When I went to the Music section, I realized it’s actually a “now playing” widget that includes podcasts. I still didn’t need it. To my delight, after removing the widget, the entire screen with the little music notes also disappeared. Yay! Thanks, Sumocat!

Support the Show
You know who’s cool? Daniel Sieber and a lovely black lab named Gracie. Do you know why they’re cool? Because they both used the donate button to “buy me coffee.” Yes, they took their hard-earned dollars and went to podfeet.com/donate and chose a number of coffees that represented the fun they have listening to the content we produce here at the Podfeet Podcasts. I highly recommend you also donate because you’ll feel good, and I’ll feel good. It’s happiness all around.
