    @overcastfm but wait it's not launch day, just pre-order day

    we've still got time

    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.

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

    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.)

    It's technically a 3D About screen.

    @EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

    @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.

    @gruber Not concerning. Panic-inducing.

    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

    @marcoarment I'm very confused but I'm also happy for you, Marco.

    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.

    EshuMarneedi,

    @overcastfm Congrats Marco, looks great!

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

    EshuMarneedi,
    @EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

    @marcoarment Which social network? iTunes Ping?

    @Gargron@mastodon.social avatar

    If for whatever reason you never wish to interact with , you can personally block it for your account. This hides all posts and profiles from Threads, prevents anyone from Threads from following you, and stops your posts from being delivered to or fetched by Threads. Simply click the "Block domain threads.net" option on any Threads profile or post you see in Mastodon.

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

    Every time I pop in I get that same feeling of regret as when I drive past my old childhood home and see how the new owners have trashed the place

    @michaelsteeber Quite sad, honestly.

    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.

    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.

    App Store Connect continues to be Apple's finest work.

    (It's been doing this for three minutes.)

    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.

    @michaelsteeber (Most) Apple Store employees are super cool.
