Almost done with season 1 of The Next Generation. I adore this show. I’m so excited for the rest of it, I’ve heard that it only gets better!

As a colossal fan of the original Knight Rider series I realise now that my soul’s been yearning for a show from this time period.

I just love the feel of it, the lore, the characters, the jargon.

All the main cast are my faves, but I love Picard, Data, and Geordi. Riker goes without saying. 😄

Warp 8, Mr. La Forge. Engage.

@raven yes! It’s got quite an optimistic tone which I super appreciate and also really need. Quite tired of quite a lot of the “good, well-written” media draining any kind of hope you might have. It gets exhausting. Stuff like TNG just lifts your spirits. ☺️

With iOS 17.5, or 17.5.1, not sure which one exactly, Apple has finally fixed a long-standing bug where apps that have alternate app icons sometimes won’t change to what you choose until a reboot. They now change every time, like when they were first introduced.
It’s just interesting to me that that bug has survived through so many iOS iterations. It’s been a problem for ages.

@Joekw it’s definitely fixed from what I’ve seen, and holy moly, really?! 7 years?? Good gosh I feel old. That was ages ago. I remember it worked reliably for a while then suddenly broke and it’s stayed broken until now 😅

I know this because I can never decide on which icons to stay on for apps that offer them lol. So I am constantly changing them

is such an interesting podcast, but man do I hate all the fake laughs from the host 😭

P.S. Casey Newton is great and I love everything he’s in haha

@joshzepeda he’s always had that laugh even back in the days of Reply All 😂

It’s wild just how much having an afternoon free to yourself to do the things you enjoy, eat some delicious food, taking even just a few hours just to re-calibrate, actually helps. ❤️

@mitchell209 notifications + tracking workouts are my primary use cases for it, telling the time goes without saying of course 😅
I honestly can’t live without it now, feels extremely weird not having it on

ChatGPT comes in quite handy with helping me create Siri Shortcuts. ☺️

tashen,
@tashen@mstdn.games avatar

This is quite an opportunity for AI-enhanced Siri in iOS 18 actually. Just ask it to create a shortcut for you. 😄

tashen,
@tashen@mstdn.games avatar

Related: the interface for creating shortcuts is currently a bit clunky. It could use some refinement for sure… it’s serviceable at least. I’m pretty glad you can drag and drop actions between different shortcuts and it copies them over.

My DS3 playthrough isn't going so great. I managed to get to the swamp but now I'm really struggling to find any motivation to go any further. The game has way too much Bloodborne in its DNA to be truly enjoyable to me.

Meanwhile, I've been following the let's plays of a couple of Youtubers and that's been great. I mean, why suffer myself, when I can watch them do it 🤷‍♀️

tashen,
@tashen@mstdn.games avatar

@riikka don’t feel too bad, I also stopped Elden Ring. 😅
I just got to a point where I felt the same lack of motivation to get further so I walked away. I definitely don’t think it’s something to feel bad about! 😊

Okay, Narwhal for iOS is way better than I thought. I used to use it before Apollo and now, it’s probably the last Reddit app that is still around (it’s got a mandatory monthly subscription) - I thought it would be pretty lacking in features etc. but surprisingly it’s pretty capable. I think I’m sticking with this.

Anything’s better than the absolute dumpster fire that is the default Reddit app. It’s so bad I’ll pay to not use it.

@joshzepeda I remember seeing in one of your Home Screen posts, that you had Apollo, which I’m assuming you’re sideloading?
Is it worth it? 😅
The Reddit app is unbearable 🙃

@joshzepeda awesome! Thank you Josh! 😄

The original PSP was my favourite console I’ve ever owned. I have so many memories with that little amazing device. Being able to go back and relive some of that on my freaking phone is seriously pretty magical. 🥹

tashen,
@tashen@mstdn.games avatar

@MaddyWaves I know exactly what you mean - I think all the PSP models from the very beginning had hardware issues - I remember having sticky buttons or the analog stick would register movement in a direction I wasn’t even pushing it… 😅
But it still pushed on and survived quite a few years before finally giving up 😅

Maybe you can try to get some help to repair it? Though it’s still risky I guess 🙈

tashen,
@tashen@mstdn.games avatar

@MaddyWaves ah okay. Well, I hope you’re able to find out what the issue is, or maybe it fixes itself! 😅

Again… why do people not favourite posts? More often than not I go to favourite posts and the counter pops up next to the button and I see I’m the only one ☹️
Especially weird when the post has a bunch of boosts too 😅

I’m sure it must make the poster feel good to have their post favourited, right?

tashen,
@tashen@mstdn.games avatar

@joshzepeda oh nooo, shoot. I don’t wanna move servers again 🙃
Eh, it doesn’t bother me too much I guess
But thanks for the info! At least now it makes a bit more sense! 😄

I was onboard with toots at first but over time it just feels way better to call them posts, I dunno 😂
Always funny when the ATP hosts earnestly call them toots, unless they’re just saying it ironically 😅

@nickfoster same especially when John says it 😂
