I see now there's some confusion. When it said "toggle button", I thought a Switch was being discussed, but when I clicked on the OP I see it actually does mean button, so we've got some people talking about switches and some people talking about buttons (and yeah, a switch should show current state, but a button should show what would happen if you clicked it).

A while back now, but reminds me of when the Olympic ceremony had those hundreds of co-ordinated drones in the sky... and yet the performances were still mimed.

"Supreme Court appears unlikely to allow Colorado to kick Trump off the ballot."

The central problem appears to be that section 3 of the 14th amendment would cause a "cascading" problem for the country to enforce.

Which begs the question why we continue to honor any tricky ones, like say the 2nd amendment. 🙃

Can someone who understands activity pub fill me in on the whole Threads posting to Mastodon thing? Mosseri (IG CEO) said that soon Threads users would be able to post to Mastodon. Will I be able to cross post my Threads posts to this Mastodon profile? Or do I have to set up a second Mostodon profile for my Threads cross posts? I'm confused how this whole thing will work

"Echo" joins Secret Invasion, Ms. Marvel, Ahsoka, and the movie "Chef" as something I leave downloaded to my phone so that I'll have it if I feel like watching something on a plane that I don't mind falling asleep to, but otherwise will never watch any of.

I'm just jealous that you can fall asleep on a plane (my dad used to be able to fall asleep in a chair watching TV, but I clearly didn't inherit that gene).

Fun fact: That song uses a sample from a 1979 Gary Numan album track, M.E. Apparently it also uses a sample from the 1980 single This Wreckage, but I've never been able to identify exactly where it is (and I know I'm not alone in that), but the whole song is based around the M.E. sample, so that's unmissable. 🙂

Agreed. I just "updated" to Windows 11 (I didn't want to) and one of the (many) things I hate about it is the disappearing scroll-bar arrow! So, Microsoft, to make the invisible arrow appear, you have to hover over it, so you have to find the right spot to hover over something that you can't see... unless you find the right spot when the arrow is invisible. Didn't think that through did you...

Replies are so messed up on Mastodon, even replies I make to my own posts. People rarely read them before replying themselves, because the threads/replies aren't shown in the home timeline; leading to confusion and repetition.

Why isn't there threading in timelines?

(Please don't answer that alternative clients do that; I'm talking about the web client in Mastodon.)

Same as Eugen for me. I shutdown at night and never have to refresh during the day (unless I put the PC to sleep for a while, in which case I have to refresh to get the content that was during the sleep period, but that's because it shuts down my internet connection when it goes to sleep). I'm using the advanced web interface.

U.S.-U.K. relations are in hot water with the news that an American scientist said one should add a pinch of salt to tea to make it less bitter. The British media went wild, calling the suggestion "a crime" and "absolute craziness." Social media account VeryBritishProblems chimed in, saying, "What will America recommend today? Onions in a bowl of cereal? Mustard on Jaffa Cakes?" Here are all the details of the teacup storm. How do you make yours?

(sigh) and some people on Mastodon are using the maui hashtag (Hawaii) instead of dotnetmaui (which is why it's dotnetmaui and not just maui).

I used to follow the maui hashtag as well, but then I gave up on it - I don't need this stuff about Hawaii in my feed. If you can't use the right hashtag then I'm not going to see your content.

Well, sure, but as a statistician, when I look at the graph I see the natural trough after the wave of the pandemic (less people needing one 2023 because they accelerated their next planned >=2023 purchase to "now" - 2020/21/22 - due to working from home now). It'll be a couple of years before we can see a long-term trend after that disruption to the normal/current trend.

The Y2K bug is a great illustration that a well-handled potential disaster looks like “nothing happened” in retrospect. The fact that Y2K seemed to be a non-event is a testament to how seriously people took this emergency, and how everyone buckled down and averted a worldwide infrastructure disaster.

I started working at Honeywell Aerospace (AlliedSignal back then) in 1998, and by that time people were already working on Y2K issues. We were in the GPS navigation business, and there were real issues that would have caused aircraft navigation to go awry unless they were fixed.

People buckled down, found the bugs, ran simulations, got FAA sign-offs, and deployed the fixes to all affected aircraft well before Y2K. Thanks to the effort, “nothing happened”. But I assure you (bad) things would have happened if we did nothing. https://infosec.exchange/@tychotithonus/111670219441506220

Yep, I worked that weekend and saw several systems break. Fortunately nothing we couldn't work around. We were actually quite lucky, as management decided that instead of doing the relatively cheap upgrade of our mainframe dumb-terminal system, we would instead write a whole new server-based PC system - the week before Y2K we still hadn't had a successful overnight batch run yet! Made it by the skin of our teeth.
