@Gargron But then how will Fedipolice complain and bully people relentlessly for their choices in social media?

A social network’s best days are not when we’re using it mostly to talk about another social network.

@marcoarment Which social network? iTunes Ping?

This isn't the final design or layout. Half of the buttons don't work. There's still SO much to do.

But the rewrite hit a huge milestone last week: I'm now able to use it myself to listen to my podcasts.

And it's finally starting to feel like home.

@overcastfm Congrats Marco, looks great!

Had another, more wide-ranging, demo with Apple Vision Pro today. Ask me anything.

Me, sitting on a couch, wearing an Apple Vision Pro, making a pinch gesture with my right hand.

@gruber @viticci Shake your head to undo! (I don't think that's a gesture.)

I missed this when it popped up, but to use Unity to build for visionOS you need at least a Pro license, which costs "€1,877
/yr per seat”

So yeah, good luck with that

This guy posted that the iPod Hi-Fi was the original iPod Dock and it generated a lot of copycats. When I pointed out it wasn't true he ran away, tried to redefine the topic, and insulted me.

I'll just say it here: I don't know who this dude is, but I wouldn't trust a word that comes out of his mouth or on his social media feeds. He's apparently selling Apple posters (does he have the rights?) and fancies himself an expert on Apple design.

He sure seems like a phony to me.

Amazon AI-generated review summary for a printer:

“Customers are divided about the size, value, color, ease of use, performance, quality, and speed of the printer. They mention that it's a great product and that it can print a lot of things.”

Helpful…

I can't remember a product/technology like OpenAI's that has changed so much in so little time in my lifetime. I'm not sure one exists. Not iPhone, not the internet. In the past year or so it has completely upended the entire tech industry; everybody threw their roadmaps out the window — pivot, inertia be damned. Even Apple is all hands on deck

It beggars belief that its board would trash that product & reputation overnight, without warning, with the intention of de-productizing their research.

It's technically a 3D About screen.

@jamesthomson I surmise this is going to be a hit because to my knowledge visionOS doesn’t have a calculator!

Five months after I purchased my AirPods, I’m still seeing this popover daily on multiple devices. Whyyyyyy 😕

@siracusa Your AirPods have been possessed. I’ve owned countless pairs of AirPods and I have never once seen this prompt on any OS version.

Does Thunderbolt in Migration Assistant just… not work anymore?

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@marcoarment Very weird. Last night when I got my new laptop I just plugged a Thunderbolt cable to both, booted Migration Assistant on the source Mac, and everything worked perfectly. I was connected to Wi-Fi on both Macs. 1833 MB/s over Thunderbolt.

@christianselig One day my whole house is going to be filled with Apple boxes and even that day I won't throw them out.

Buying gift cards at Bayshore, I asked… so uh, is there a minimum purchase to get the holiday bag 😅

Not only did the Specialist just give me one, but he would’ve put each gift card in a separate bag had I wanted it. And he intuited I’m a collector and didn’t want it unfolded. So good.

Slept until 11am. Rolled through preorder while making coffee. 1TB Vision Pro still available for delivery on Feb 2; in-store pickup — which Apple says is recommended, presumably for fit/training — on Feb 3.

A good night’s sleep is the key to the good life.

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@gruber Sure, but I also don't want to pay $3,900 for a Vision Pro.

EshuMarneedi, to SwiftUI
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

Hi. I have a really stupid question.

Do you see this footer thing in System Settings? Yeah, how do you do that?

Putting the text inside the form with .formStyle(.grouped) does not do what I want. Placing the text outside the form is fine, but the colors aren't the same and that honestly looks worse.

I love SwiftUI but this is a real head scratcher.
