@MuseumShuffle I’m using mine right now. Really liking the new Magic Keyboard.

@MuseumShuffle Unless I am reading something really calls out for the vertical orientation (i.e. reading American comics) then mine is almost always in laptop mode.

@MuseumShuffle I'm a Marvel Snap player too, but ironically on just about every device except the iPad. I got a notification on my Mac about 10 seconds ago from it 😅

@MuseumShuffle I've been blowing mine about as soon as I get them lately because they keep featuring characters that I like. (It doesn't help that I've been a regular Marvel comics reader for over 20 years.)

I would be amazing if I could “Mac Mirror” from an iPad Pro just like I can from Vision Pro, but it would run from my MacBook sitting closed in my backpack

It would be the perfect portable computer on planes, coffee shops, etc where I’m more than happy to give up the big screen

jamie_blumberg,
@jamie_blumberg@hachyderm.io avatar

@BenRiceM @charliemchapman The funny thing is that this is more or less mirroring via SideCar, with the only real difference is that it would be initiated from the iPad instead of the Mac.

And technically VNC/remote desktop apps can already do a so-so version of this. I frequently remote into my always on desktop from my iPad if I need to do something Mac-specific.

@charliemchapman @BenRiceM So when I am mobile and I need to do day job work (aka Xcode) or record a podcast, I use a 15" Air. (Awesome laptop BTW.) But otherwise I generally use my iPad Pro (12.9” now, 13" as soon as UPS delivers it 😅) for just about everything else, including editing podcasts, reading books and comics, web browsing, etc.

At home I have a similar dynamic: my Mac Studio is the Xcode, recording and PC gaming machine while the iPad retains all of its use cases.

@MuseumShuffle@mastodon.social avatar

I just made my first pull request to the @revenuecat code tree. 😳

That's something I didn't realize you could do until yesterday when @thillsman told me.

I spotted a (small) accessibility issue yesterday when I was testing my new RevenueCat paywall with VoiceOver.

The year is 2049. All software has contributions from Chris Wu. Yes, somehow even the closed source tools. Every repository tool and service now includes a "Chris Wu approval" step for PR approval. No one questions this. No one remembers a time before the Wu ascension.

Welcome to another thrilling edition of “Shit My Cat Stole!” with two entries for you today.

First is the case for my Steam Deck OLED. Now granted she did not source this elsewhere in the house and then bring it to my room, but she did literally go to sleep in the case while I was playing Balatro, so I’m counting it.

Next is one of those sink stoppers you can use to fill the sink up with hot water during your morning routine, or pudding during a breakup or whatever. #catsofmastodon

@coder_pilot I will team up with you to extol the virtues of comfortable temperatures (just took a walk in shorts and a t-shirt with temps in the lower 60’s) in defiance of @MuseumShuffle's meteorological perversions.

Hades 2 hit early access yesterday.

I can see room for improvement. Particularly with how a couple of the weapons work, just in terms of how they move and interact with enemies.

But Hades 2 is already a better game than Hades was.

Unbelievable.

@Impossible_PhD I've only played about an hour but it is so very good.

So in Swift, try! means “I’m confident the following will work; if it does not, crash”.

Similarly, in C#, someVar! means “I’m confident this isn’t going to be null; throw if I’m wrong”.

But in Dart, is! means “is not”.

The little inconsistencies between languages. 🫠

jamie_blumberg,

@chucker I'm sure this is exactly why Google just laid off a ton of Dart/Flutter folks.

I've had quite a fair lot of surgery. I am very, very tired of it, and I want no more transition surgeries. Period.

But I saw a trans gal recently who got lipo and a tummy tuck, and afterward, her hips and ass came the fuck in. No BBL, but kinda looked like she had.

And I've got a tummy pooch that's literally the only part of my body I'm not a fan of, and the idea I could light some money on fire and cast "transmute tummy to ass" is... more tempting that I'd like.

jamie_blumberg,
@jamie_blumberg@hachyderm.io avatar

@Impossible_PhD My gut/tummy combined with a lack of hips and ass are two of my biggest body complaints, so the idea of something like this is very intriguing.

For the gal you cited I wonder if maybe since her body saw her tummy area as damaged/wounded it automatically started putting fat stores elsewhere? I’m fascinated to know the science behind that.

jamie_blumberg,
@jamie_blumberg@hachyderm.io avatar

@Impossible_PhD I’ve been reading about the fat redistribution process for years and no one has ever explained it as clearly and succinctly as you just did. Thank you.

@shippychaos I don't think I'm terribly interested in Chrisjen/Bobbie, but The Expanse: Oops All Lesbians sounds intriguing. (Like maybe a Bobbie/Camina thing? Just two angry, pugnacious ladies…)

I ask myself if it's worthwhile to waste filament on a really cute Totoro bookmark, and I calmly respond by saying that is a very stupid question because duh.

@hotdogsladies It’s never a waste to do something harmless that makes you happy. Especially when a Ghibli creation is involved.

@jamie_blumberg@hachyderm.io avatar

@hotdogsladies Oh hell I initially missed the ‘never’ wow that really makes the statement less insane sounding.

jamie_blumberg,
@jamie_blumberg@hachyderm.io avatar

@hotdogsladies To clear up my anxious paranoia that I didn’t get my point across: bookmark good, Merlin good, Totoro very good, filament replaceable so it’s a fine way to use it.

Apparently Apple Music for Mac has rabid fanbois (they are all men. All of them) and they are on Threads?! Of all the truly shitty products to stan, you want to defend Apple Music on the Mac?! I’ll defend Apple Music on iOS, even tho sync is a shit show, but on the desktop?! Man normies are weird.

jamie_blumberg,
@jamie_blumberg@hachyderm.io avatar

@film_girl The only real edge I'll give to Music on macOS is that there are things you can do there which you simply can't on iOS/iPadOS. That does not make it good software; just more capable.

would you survive this?

Fina with hand outstretched and inside of her wrist facing upward. Marta has her face nestled into Fina’s palm/wrist and is pressing it closer with her own hand. Fina watches intently as Marta sniffs the perfume she has just sprayed on her wrist. Lots of sexual tension (before they admitted their feelings)

I managed to spear a nerve ending really squarely today when I did my injection. Been an hour and a half and it still hurts.

@Impossible_PhD I'm thinking that if I ever switch to injections I'll want to get some tattoos of stars or something in the spots that work really well, so down the road I'll always know exactly where to stab.

updated #introduction

i am a queer north american lesbian person. like many other chronically online folks, i am working to break free of the every-moment-should-be-content-creation mindset.

my interests include: strong female protagonists in fiction, nonfiction by women and about women, femininity and intersectional identities, women of a certain age, and sapphism.

in summary, women.

(joined mastodon Oct2022. currently self host this tiny instance - federate with me? :rainbowdance:)

@shippychaos Honestly homo.promo rhymes so it has an inherent advantage there.

Also I don't think .agenda is a TLD yet. So what I'm saying is, you may get your chance.

Pretty sure if you collect the different perfect queer URLs you get to be Gay Sauron or something.
