@BeAware Aww i"ll let u know how it is
@Thatmermaid_J thanks!
I can only assume the changes from the beta to now are minor, but I still want update, dang it! 😅
@BeAware Yeah that's odd. i'm not that good with IOS stuff so i"m no help lol
@Thatmermaid_J you're fine. I'll just be waiting or flipping several switches in an attempt to get it to work.😂
One of those strategies will eventually get me the update I'm sure.
@BeAware There. I have lots of friends who may be able to help.
@Thatmermaid_J thanks a ton! 🫶
@BeAware Of course. I hope someone can help you.
@BeAware you can switch back in the iPhone UI under settings.
@samsethi it didn't do anything when I did. Maybe I have to wait a bit. We'll see.🤷♂️👍
@BeAware I think 18.1 is coming to the developer build shortly. All of it is pointless as all the so-called Apple Intelligence only works on iPhone 15 Pro Max and above and I have not updated my iPhone for a few years. #NoNeedToUpgrade - I will wait until next year when iOS18 actually has the AI features before I upgrade.
@samsethi My iPhone 15 Pro (not the Max) will also have it. I'm pretty excited tbh.
Though the image generator is still on hold. Hopefully soon though, that's the thing I'm most interested in.
@kendricklmao8 yeah...it seems that since I'm on the dev beta and it updated two weeks ago, I might not get this one since the changes are probably super minor.
@BeAware people on beta have received the RC version, which is apparently what went out to the public as the final release. That's why you don't see anything to update to (because you're already on final iOS 18). Just disable the beta updates and you're back on using the non-beta iOS versions.
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.
@chockenberry Wait. I thought the popups were relating to screen recording services (i.e. like sharing your screen on a Teams call). Not screenshots.
Does it apply to screenshots as well?!
@leoncowle Anything that touches the pixels on your display.
@chockenberry But does taking a screenshot, using the built-in OS hotkeys, count as something that “touches the pixels”? It's the *OS* doing it, not an application.
@leoncowle Yes, that counts. In fact, folks have noticed that CI workflows that build projects and take screenshots from the command line are also affected.
The only exception is Apple Remote Desktop (VNC) because it has some very specific private entitlements.

My folks, Biden is the candidate. Not some magic imaginary unicorn candidate waiting in the wings. To pretend otherwise is just wasting time and energy. There is not some mystery person in a better polling position who’s going to appear who will do better against Trump.
No, he’s not many of our first choices. But he’s the nominee. Let’s get out of fantasyland.
@virtualbri Seriously, this. And the Libertarian candidate is not going to win. If you want a third party, start encouraging them to run downballot and build up.
@tptigger Yeah it's comical every 4 years how people expect a third party which has no presence at any level to be viable for the Presidency.
I'm all for more parties, but they have to start local and "build up" just like you said.
@virtualbri Yeah, but I have yet to see one be willing to put in the work to do that.
I'll release a new version ASAP fixing this specific bug.
I'm super embarrased. Sorry for the inconvenience.
@grunfink No problem! You're doing a great job, a small bug won't change it at all!
And… it’s got PCVR support and I will finally realize a dream I had when I was a young teenager. I will go to the islands in VR!
I guess there’s one upside to my deteriorating memory function. Like seriously, I appreciate being able to experience the things I love, again, for the “first” time. Hopefully the old memory bank doesn’t get any worse.
I of course will customize and upgrade it myself however.

Is there something already that runs yt-dlp on a server and outputs an rss feed / podcast of the results?
Support for custom Emojis has been added; they are no longer hardcoded, but read from the emojis.json
file at the server base directory. Also, they are no longer limited to string substitutions, but images as external URLs are also supported (see snac(8)
for more information).
Fixed a bug that caused some notifications to be lost when coming from a user in the same instance.
Added an additional check for blocked instances (sometimes, posts from blocked sites that were ancestors of legit posts were 'leaking' into the timeline).
On OpenBSD, if the disable_email_notifications
server flag is set to true
, unveil()
is not called for the execution of the /usr/sbin/sendmail
binary and pledge()
doesn't set the exec
promise.

The answer is: 1 (doesn’t count though because he’s a threads tech engineer).
Working on a page for my #fediverse SVG icons. Anyone want to help make this page better? My CSS and HTML abilities are lacking...
The page is live at https://fediverse.wake.st
I have a @Codeberg repo here up here https://codeberg.org/FediverseX/pages
An important distinction is slowly being uncovered about the definition of the term "fediverse." Who is it that gets to decide what this place is? How are we being represented? These are not easy questions to answer and if we don't do a better job describing ourselves, then the job will get done for us by people who don't understand the underlying values we hold. #fediverse #meta #threads
I’ve been wondering what I’m going to do in the not-too-distant future when my photo library is so large I have no choice but to pay for its storage somewhere.
Incoming posts can now be filtered out by content using regular expressions on a server level (these regexes are written in the filter_reject.txt
file at the server base directory; see snac(5)
and snac(8)
).
Improved page position after hitting the Hide
or MUTE
buttons (for most cases).
Use a shorter maximum conversation thread level (also, this maximum value is now configurable at compilation level with the MAX_CONVERSATION_LEVELS
define).
Fixed a bug where editing a post made the attached media or video to be lost.
The way of refreshing remote actor data has been improved.
Posting from the command-line now allows attachments.
Added defines for time to enable MacOS builds (contributed by andypiper).

This release has been inspired by the song The Raven by #CarolineLavelle.
Here's a comparison of the 6-foot model (#StarTrekTNG's "Peak Performance"⬆️, "The Vengeance Factor"⬇️) and the 4-foot model ("Reunion") of the USS Enterprise-D, seen from similar angles. The 6-foot model shots re-use the same footage.
I quite miss the satisfying “kla-chunk!” sound they made.
Speaking of ActivityPub, anyone have some concise and simple breakdown documentation links handy? There’s kind of an overwhelming amount or information out there.
I’ve once again started the process of installing and setting up Nextcloud on one of my servers. It occurs to me that my Nextcloud instances always die a slow death. Something about that piece of software, I think, sort of just falls apart over time. This time I’m attempting to future proof it a little bit more than the previous times, but honestly I fully expect it to go about the same as usual. Then again, historically I have installed all kinds of plugins (or apps) and was running it on fairly low powered hardware. Setting it up on some decently powerful hardware on this go around though. I’ll also try to be more conservative with the app installs as well.
I might actually set up two separate instances and federate them together. Perhaps if I maintain multiple servers they’ll survive a bit longer? Or I’ll just be creating twice the amount of tinkering and maintenance for myself.
So if you see me start following you from here, you will know it is me!
