Anyone knows of an iOS App that works properly with #snac2?

I tried IceCubes, Feditext and Ivory and they all display "garbage" (like in images are ok, but no text. and boosters are displayed as authors) in the global timeline.

PS: the Web interface works properly.

I guess I was only 23 when that particular era ended though. I need to start posting some these old tunes.

I always loved the name of that band - Bus Hop - It was nonsensical and had no meaning; but it just worked for the sound.

I don't just want followers.

I want people to talk about MMOs with.🎮🖥️

Right now, specifically ESO because I just reactivated my subscription.👀😁

I just wish the it wasn’t called “AI”. Like when those “hoverboards” got popular a decade ago. They did not hover.

Holy shit.

Just wow, wow, holy shit:

Completely rewriting a multi-million line COBOL codebase that has life-or-death consequences for real people in the space of a few months, using gen AI?

I’ve been writing software for 40-some years, and I have to say: this may be, without exaggeration, the stupidest software-related idea I’ve ever heard from leadership.

Now I just have to continue unearthing my JavaScript abilities. They’ve been buried a very long time.

I don’t drink coffee, but I completely empathize with this.

Just submitted a bug report here:

You might want to do the same.

Alt...

Feedback for Apple Maps with the following field filled in: Subject: Gulf of Mexico Feedback Type: Incorrect Business or Place Info Details of Issue: It's not spelled correctly. Comments: This is ultimately a test to see who will fall in line with the authoritarians of a fascist movement. You've failed the test. It seems like a small thing, and maybe it is, but what happens when these same authoritarians start asking for my personal data? At some point, Apple is going to need to stand up to this bullshit. Sooner is better than later.

Getting the “real work” done…

I just can’t grasp the notion of maintaining privacy on a completely open network protocol.

What kind of issues or concerns might I have if I shut down one kind of AP server software and then set up a different AP server on the domain previously occupied by the now decommissioned first AP server?

(I don’t think the soon-to-be-shutdown server has a self-destruct.)

Just feeling nostalgic I suppose.

(By the way, your post turned into quality “content” for me, at least. Sorry… couldn’t help it.)

I watched the premiere of Travelers back when it first aired, not sure why I didn’t keep going, but I’ll give another go!

$19,266.09

That number is the cost per prescription receipt totaled and there could be subsidies or some other price-breaks that the state may get. Next I’ll see if can find out approximately how much the rest of my healthcare costs. It’s gotta be at least a similar number.

The only way to make sure you don’t contribute to things like this is to not participate in public internet social media services.

To everyone when they see horrible privacy news about Microsoft replying with:

"I don't care, I use Linux"

Sure, you do. But does your medical clinic do? Does your therapist do? Does your family member typing a personal email to you in Word before sending it do too?

This is a systemic problem.

You cannot protect your own data only by using Linux yourself. You must also demand stronger regulations and enforcement to obligate organizations around to protect your data as well.

Added a small HTML/CSS tweak to improve post previews from some implementations (contributed by nyanide).

Notifications for EmojiReact activities now show the emoji.

New command-line action insert, to insert a post by its URL in a user's timeline.

i just read the absolutely saddest twelve-word short story

“The Church of Scientology has reportedly purchased the Jim Henson Studios Lot”

Anyone got an idea?

I just read a comment on a thread that said something to the effect of “I preferred the internet that wasn’t driven by profit focused influencers” and it made me realize that I loathe that profit-driven focus of social networks these days.

The new Vitals feature in the #iOS18 #Health app is pretty neat. No new data really, but a straightforward way to visual data. When I got #Covid a couple weeks ago I felt awful and there was no doubt that I was sick, but interestingly the day before I started feeling bad the Vitals app showed “Outliers” in my sensor data. High body temperature, fast respiration, rapid heart beat, etc…

The thing that really gets me about this screen capture situation in the next version of macOS is that it lays bare the hubris of security folks.

I bet they rarely take screenshots - all their work is low-level internal mechanisms. What good is an image of a SHA hash going to do them?

Meanwhile there are hundreds of thousands of developers working with designers, clients, managers, and other folks who want to see the current state of their work.

We take a shit-ton of screenshots.
