I didn't like that Apple crushing ad, either. I cringed.

I understand the conceit of the ad - cramming all of this stuff/capability into a single magical iPad - but the execution was in poor taste, IMO.

All I saw was wastefulness. It's one thing to run with the idea that someone can replicate all of those things they probably don't have using just this one device they could buy right now, but it's quite another to imply that all of it needed to be destroyed for the iPad to pop into existence.

We're back to my recurring nightmare of making it easy for a non-technical client to edit a static website generated using #Hugo.

Are there any good solutions? Or am I going to end up writing my own solution after many painful hours with other people's janky solutions?

If you know of a non-technical user successfully editing a static website, how are they doing it?

EDIT: I'll only use open source solutions I can self-host, but happy to hear about proprietary options.

Not every day do you get to merge support for 130 tablets with one click but yesterday was one of those not everydays.

WARNING! This image may trigger PINSecurity.

From an analysis of 3.4m PIN code leaked from several data breaches https://informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/most-common-pin-codes/

A diagonal line of ‘heat’ from bottom left to top right reveals people choosing double digits (2323, 6868 etc). A strong horizontal line at the 19 point shows people using their birth year as a PIN code (1971, 1998 etc). And a large amount of heat in the bottom left shows how people commonly use their birthdate in a MM/DD or DD/MM format. The most common code in the set is 1234.
The Top 20 most common 4 digit PIN numbers, as revealed by an analysis of data breaches, constitute 27% of all PIN numbers. They are 1234, 1111, 0000, 1212, 7777, 1004, 2000, 4444, 2222, 6969, 9999, 3333, 5555, 6666, 1122, 1313,8888,4321,2001,1010

Game devs: how do you manage merge conflicts in your projects? A colleague and I were both independently working on the same Godot project, stored in Git, and so we inevitably had a merge conflict when we each modified the same scene. The scene format is plain text so after a bit of trial & error I resolved the conflict. Are there better tools for this in industry? Or is the tool “don't edit scene X, I'm working on it”?

So, when I was growing up, students at my high school described the devil horns hand gesture—i.e. 🤟or 🤘, sometimes 🤙—using the word “boggs.” It was used essentially the entire time I was in school by most of the male student body, and I have no idea why they described it with this word. I have never heard it beyond my high school days.

Does anyone know why “boggs” was associated with this symbol?

Very excited about the future of Mastodon with synchronised timelines (a highly requested feature in @moshidon) and grouped notifications (another highly requested feature).

Open source UX is often criticised. Some of it is justified, but what can we do about it? @scottjenson 's talk at this year's FOSS Backstage explored which repos are doing UX well and what we can learn from them. #fossback

When I dismiss my morning alarm, Android gives me a full-screen page with the weather forecast and stuff which animates into view in a frustratingly slow way. But the button to dismiss it… On the one hand, it's nice to see a hint of character peeking through the blandness. On the other hand, surely it should be either “OK, thanks” or “Okay, thanks”? No-one writes “Ok” in mixed case, and the comma is standard outside of informal writing. The character that peeks through is “idgaf”.

Shout out to everyone on Threads who makes it easier to follow their posts (and not just rely on the Threads angorithm being kind) by turning on fediverse sharing 🫡

Go to settings > Account, and turn it on.

No need to create a Mastodon account or anything, it’s literally one step and forget it.

I couldn’t resist, and dovetailed from #TalesOfTheEmpire 103 "The Path of Hate" into #Mandalorian 205 “The Jedi." It worked as perfectly as you might imagine.

My etsy shop will be closed May 10 - June 10 as I move states.

If you want any soaps or bath bombs, make sure to get your orders in before then!

A follow-up to my "Rabbit R1 is an Android app in a box" article:

In their attempted rebuttal, Rabbit made several misrepresentations of my findings - as well as of their own product.

I address their claims in my latest article for Android Authority: https://www.androidauthority.com/rabbit-r1-bespoke-android-3439760/

Question!.......I've been thinking of making some sun catchers. Does anyone want sun catchers or house decor beaded mobiles? They make a very unique decor for houses and gardens, and a wonderful gift. I can fit them with anyone's favourite colors and shapes too. They can be themed however you or your beloved person you'd like to gift would like! #handmade #art #artists #fedigiftshop #shophandmade

previously Amazon did this, but now movies I bought from Microsoft were taken away from me within 48 hours of my buying them. the lesson here is do not purchase movies legitmately.

The publisher of a small imprint of roleplaying games magazines/speculative fiction shuts down after 22 years because their submissions have been flooded with AI to the extent they cannot wade through them:

“The problem with AI is the people who use AI. These are people who think their ‘ideas’ are more important than the actual craft of writing, so they churn out all these ‘ideas’ and enter their idea prompts and think the output is a story.”

I cannot overstate how dangerous to free speech and a healthy democracy it is to redefine all anti-Zionism and criticism of the state of Israel as antisemitism. You know who's loudly critical of Zionism and the Israeli govt? Jews. A lot of Jews.
