One of these days the are going to blow out a team, and I’m going to enjoy watching the whole game. But today was not that day.

@bedirthan we were just listening for our neighborhood cannon man. He must be watching elsewhere today.

I have never willingly purchased an abridged audiobook in my life. If I'm paying for it, I want the whole thing.

Who buys them?

adam,

@billyjoebowers probably. It really seems like a difference of journey vs. destination mindsets.

adam,
@adam@windbag.org avatar

@billyjoebowers I’ve read a synopsis of a few books I DNF’d. Mostly because I wanted to know if the pretty clear trope or plot arc that I saw ended up happening. I did that with the Atlas 6 for example.

A few days ago @cjhubbs shared that he had been introduced to Bukahara, a four-piece German folk pop band with eclectic influences. Since then, I've been really enjoying their music.

Suggested Songs: Happy, Same Kind of People, Afraid No More, Border, Grotta Delle Ninfe.

Note. If you’re on an instance that supports search, I am pretty sure it’s not enabled by default. Find it this way:

Goto preferences > public profile > privacy and reach > check search options.

@shoq maybe @Gargron and team could add a one-time opt-in dialog in the timeline some amount of time after the user joins?

Uptake seems pretty slow which negatively impacts the search experience.

Can someone help me decide which HomeKit Doorbell to get? All the choices are overwhelming.

adam,
@adam@windbag.org avatar

@paul that’s… pretty lame selection.

FWIW, I’ve had good luck using my Eufy doorbell with HomeKit through Homebridge; the plugin is feature complete, quick, and actively updated.

@BlackAzizAnansi cognitive bias is when your facts flow from your conclusions. Covid denialism is when your conclusions result in natural selection.

Ahsoka season 1 had some cool moments, but without resolving a single plot thread or giving literally any arc to any character, the result just feels like watching Dave play with action figures for six hours.

adam,
@adam@windbag.org avatar

@fraying as someone who has watched both The Clone Wars and Rebels, it felt like they provided closure on the Ahsoka/Anakin relationship, which was mirrored nicely in the Ahsoka/Sabine relationship, until at the end Sabine comes back for Ahsoka, where Ahsoka walked away from Anakin.

The Mortis Gods hint at the end was super exciting.

It definitely had the "middle movie" feeling at the end, but I'd watch the heck out of Season 2 or whatever Filoni writes next.

adam,
@adam@windbag.org avatar

@fraying I agree on that. The payoff for some of those deep cut references was great, but it definitely felt like this series had assigned homework before the first day of class.

Is the tab you are most active in all the way to the left, all the way to the right or in the middle?

adam,
@adam@windbag.org avatar

@bedirthan All the way to the left. Everything to the right of the core 6-8 tabs to the left is transient and I declare tab bankruptcy a few times a day using the "Close all to the right" right click option.

You can pry this iPhone 13 mini from my cold, dead hands! *

  • Or probably next upgrade cycle if there's a really good trade-in deal.

@paul This is exactly what my wife said. For the sake of those with small hands and pockets, I really hope that Apple reconsiders making the mini form factor.

Boy would I love to know more about how Apple’s backend ordering system works. (I did get hit with this error for about a half an hour this morning — did you?)

Top Qs:
• What do they actually DO during the 12 hours the site is down?
• How do they decide how to roll out the site to various users? (I could access in Chrome while Safari was telling me “Coming Soon”)
• Is it true that all of the iPhone models are stored in the backend as iTunes Albums? (Classic joke)

adam,
@adam@windbag.org avatar

@cabel Same questions here. I assume that all the pre-order builds were stored on a single load-bearing Mac Mini.

adam, to iPhone
@adam@windbag.org avatar

AT&T's iPhone upgrade program really is trash. Repayment over 36 months? Yuck.

T-Mobile's is better, but it would require me to switch providers and T-Mobile has a coverage gap in at least one key location for me.

At this point, I might just purchase my phone outright so I'm not shackled to a particular provider for 2-3 years.

What are you doing?

@adam@windbag.org avatar

I don't remember the vendors at Lumen Field having a tip option until the last couple of years.

If I pick up a hotdog and pretzel from a passthrough heat table and ring myself up at a computer kiosk, can we not ask if I want to tip 15%, 20%, or 25%? (Looking at you Hempler's.)

adam,
@adam@windbag.org avatar

@bedirthan Another good point. I went to the Reign match in Portland and some of the stalls had signs that said tips go to the volunteer org, so I tipped. There's no indication of that at Lumen.
