🐘 Alright, #Mastodon fam - let's talk Last.fm.

Does anyone else still use this ancient relic? Went back and notice that I've been scrobbling since 2012 and have racked up a whopping 144,489 scrobbles 😱

Includes one of my fav Disney shows - The World According to Jeff Goldblum. I really. Hate corporate America. 😓

Apple is pre-announcing some Accessibility features likely coming to iOS 17 later this year, and we have the details on @macstories.

Two features are especially a big deal:

• Personal Voice will let users who are at risk of losing their voice create a synthetic version of it. All done with Neural Engine on-device.

• Assistive Access is a brand new, simplified UI mode for iPhone and iPad that streamlines the entire UI.

New personal voice feature

If you're on mastodon.social, please give a shout—curious if anything/everything remains broken in the federation.

The reason I was curious about the number dial direction is because of how Live Activities animate numerical fields changing. iOS has chosen that the next number comes from above for "count up" and from below for "count down", which feels natural to me...but according to initial results of that poll about half of people think the opposite way.

A video showing an iPhone Home Screen counting up time. The numerals on the timer appear to animate in from above.

I think Mastodon people should use the "like" button more.

People are told not to like because liking doesn't broadcast posts like boosting does, and the site needs boosts. And replies are preferred because they're deeper engagement or something.

But, on some level, we want people to keep using Mastodon. If someone posts something and followers like it, they know stuff is getting seen here and they'll want to keep using the site. I just don't see what's gained by holding back on the likes

This week for #Fossilfriday we have another #Guess that #Lego #Fossil.

This ceratopsian is one of my favorites. I wont give too many hints because it is relatively well known.

Reminder: hide your answer behind a CW. This will allow others to guess without a hint. I will post the answer tomorrow (and to anyone who guesses correctly).

The body was designed by kongzilla, the skull was modified by me to be the new design.

Ivory for iOS/iPadOS 1.4 is out on the App Store! It will slowly roll out over the next few days, but if you want it now, go to the App Store and manually update.

Our next task is getting the Mac app out and then we will continue with the items on our public roadmap: https://tapbots.com/ivory/#roadmap

I was at #Brickresales earlier today and I got hit with some inspiration for my Lego #Muttaburrasaurus #LegoMOC for the book. 5 hours later, and I had a semi-decent looking model.
Well now I have the digitized it, and refined it a little.
Well here are the references for both, and the render for both the fossil and the model.
Colour version in my response.
I am open to any and all feedback.

Here is the fossil side of the pair of the builds with a 1.8m tall person for reference.
Here is the model side view of the same pair of builds.

You are starting your own Jurassic Park, on your own private island.
You can snap your fingers and get 5 prehistoric life forms from any time period to be the first exhibits.
What animals do you choose?
Reply and let me know. Maybe some of those will become dinosaurs of the week... maybe :D

9 Dinos

These dinosaurs from 2017 were the first serious LEGO Letterpress designs that set off all further explorations and the technique.

So here’s a question I hope to answer today:

Can I figure out how to replace the battery in my iPhone 3GS? 👀

I’ve already removed the old battery as it had swollen so much that the display got pushed out. Now it’s time to insert a new battery.

Does anyone have recommendations for interesting “audio experiences” in #SanFrancisco #SFBA?

My #blind mother is visiting this weekend for a short trip and we’re trying to brainstorm some accessible things to visit while she is here. Thanks!

Forth the May be with you.

This marine reptiles is one of the most well known of all marine reptiles.
