• If you suspect you're maybe queer but confused and can't quite figure out why you feel that way, this month is for you.
• If you are just a little bit gay, maybe, you think, possibly, maybe not, but kind of, maybe someone passes by occasionally and you say "daaaaaamn," but not going to ever act on it, this month is for you.
• If you feel like your assigned pronouns fit, but you feel like a woman but not a woman the same way as other women, or feel like a man but not a man the same way as other men, this month is for you.

Asked a co-worker a question and she touched my screen 4 times. I'm not counting or anything, but 4 times. 4. It doesn't bother me at all though, it's just that it was 4 times. Anyway, I'm just gonna forget about the 4 times she touched my screen. No big deal. It's not like it was 5 times. It was 4

Tip for fellow @MonaApp users that, like me are tired of getting their eyes flashed by bright light each time you open a link when in dark mode and using Mona with default setting where links open in-app with Safari view.

Screen recording attached. (Warning bright white flash!)

First run is opening link with default settings, second with enabling safari reader and third is when having load in background.
In my testing it seems reader view is really not needed but I prefer it.

Mona > Settings > Web Browser > Load in background and Safari Reader

And when using external browser for opening links I’ve found the only one that does not briefly flash me is Safari. But with that knowledge i deduce that this behaviour is because of how things work with Apple and the system restriction they impose on third party apps.

What kind of tweaks have you done to Mona?

That time again - do you have any data stored on your devices that's important to you? Do you have it backed up? Multiple times? Regularly? Have you checked that your backups are actually happening? Have you checked that you can restore from them?

Who remembers positioning the cursor in System 7 so that it showed 1 pixel between it and the progress bar, so you could tell if it had progressed?

Who remembers trying this in Mac OS 8+ and being frustrated that the beautiful gradient made it harder to tell if there was progress? 😄

Almost got scammed selling some stuff online. 🤙

Had a person send me their number as an interested buyer and told me to text them. I did (first mistake), and we arranged a meetup time. Then they asked if, for their safety, they could send me a six digit code (some of you already know where this is going) that I could repeat back to them to verify myself.

I said, "absolutely!" And sure enough, I got a Google Voice verification number. lol

If you're not familiar with the scam, shady people will take your phone number and try to create a Google Voice account with it. If you provide them with the 6-digit code that Google sends you, they can "verify" that they are you, and then basically use your phone number to run scams, commit fraud, etc. It's nasty business.

I called them out, blocked them, then reported them to the marketplace website and to the FTC--though, almost certainly, they were using the phone number of another poor soul to carry this out.

I used to work as a social engineer, running phishing campaigns (ethically, with consent lol), against Fortune 1000 companies to assess their level of vulnerability. Luckily for me, I was super familiar with this, but most of the people I told about it have said, "Oh, I probably would have fallen for that...", and even I set myself up for it.

So that is why I'm posting this. Please be aware of sketchy shit like this. If someone is asking you for a verification code over SMS or email, tread with EXTREME caution. Also, it's usually pretty shady if a stranger you're already chatting with wants to move to a new platform. Not always, but if someone emails or messages you on Facebook to ask you to text them, that's a little weird. I'd had legitimate buyers/sellers do that, so it's not unheard of, but it should put you on guard.

If you buy/sell/trade online frequently, it's a good idea to use a dedicated MySudo number, VOIP number, and/or a burner phone for that.

Stay safe out there, kids.

Alright, here we go: I found a set of icons for all Mac models up through the beginning of 1997! Uploaded to Garden and Repo. They’re very nice; check ‘em out. https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/macusers-custom-icon-pack-iv

A Finder window containing folders with icons for "Compact Macs", "Desktop Macs", "PowerBooks", "Performas", "Mac Compatibles", and "Copland Icons".

My progress imaging Saturn:

From left to right:

1. 2015 - 6" Maksutov, phone digiscope
2. 2016 - Mak & DSLR
3. 2020 - Mak & DSLR
4. 2021 - Mak & ZWO ASI178MM
5. 2022 - 8" Newtonian &178MM
6. 2023 - 8" Newtonian &178MM

I was lucky to get some okay seeing last night - better than anything I had in 2022. Quite a bit of headroom left with my current setup I think.

It's a miserable rainy day of August so what's a good way to cheer one up?

Fire up the PowerBook 1400 and play 34 years old MODs through the still-amazing Player Pro by Antoine Rosset, of course!

This, as the kids say, slaps.
