Can’t help but immediately assume Automaticc and Apple will butt heads at some point http://www.techmeme.com/240409/p20#a240409p20

The hardest part of getting into Mastodon is finding people to follow. Here are some recommendations of people that light up my timeline. They are all #wholesome, and most of them talk about #tech and #politics in various ways, as well as sharing fun stuff too. As always with mastodon, if you’re just getting started,
just follow lots of people without stressing about it, then unfollow anyone you find boring just as easily!

@halide Is Halide Macro mode OK?

Comparing macro shots from default Camera and Halide, I found there was a lot of noise and ugly sharpening in the Halide ones, and after doing some controlled tests with a tripod and remote shutter, it seems to confirm my hunch.

The Halide versions of these are worse, right? Less detail and oversharpened, with chunky noise in the background despite a lower ISO.

Any chance Halide could “use default macro" and just add the manual focus/exposure options?

A comparison of two images like the previous photo, again showing over sharpening.

PSA: Mac users should NOT buy Baldur's Gate III yet, as it is still in "Early Access" despite being fully released for Windows.

Steam didn't warn me AT ALL about this, and I ended up playing several hours of the buggy version before realizing that I will lose all my progress once the final game comes out (~Sep 6):

> Larian previously warned that save files from the game's early access period will not carry over to the game's full release

@ivory Feature request/bug report: On macOS I use the arrow keys to navigate through toots, and there are a lot of ways you can "lose your position” that are frustrating.

Notably, if I “up" to a toot, then click “o" to view an image, then “esc” to close it, I lose my position, and pressing “up” doesn't continue from the toot with the image, it starts back at the bottom of the list, shifting the timeline, and I have to move back to where I was.

Also happens when I click the image.

@ivory Feature request: more space between the toot and the “tool bar” below when viewing the expanded version of a post. I want enough space for a good looking screenshot without the tools. Currently it’s too tight. Thanks!

Signal adding usernames is 👌🏻👏🏻🙏🏻

Leaking your phone number is a nightmare and also complicated when dealing with international numbers. Usernames will make it so much easier.

Just joined a WhatsApp for my apartment building here in Mexico and I can already feel the sms spam coming my way.

@redpandaclub How can I get rid of this macOS menu icon for "Ask Shorty”?

I don't understand why I have it, because there doesn't seem to be a macOS version of Short Circuit.

Either way, this menu item should offer an option to change settings/uninstall from inside the menu. As-is it's inscrutable and very annoying.

Sorry if it's not from your app, I genuinely can't tell.

I love that Apple specifically said “where you look is private.”

Most companies wouldn’t mention it at all, and would probably consider it impossible to make a VR API that didn’t leak where you’re looking to third parties. Apple thought about it and made it a priority 🔒

Ack, what’s the common third party Android Mastodon app everyone loves?

My partner is joining and the name I had in my head isn’t right 😅

(I use and love @ivory on my phone, with @IceCubesApp being my favorite free alternative)

As an on-again off-again Star Wars obsessive, I am really enjoying Ahsoka.

Slow and thoughtful, original but full of callbacks. New mysterious characters. Really hopeful for what’s next.

I never finished the Rebels cartoon, and it turns out that is kind of important. If you’re feeling lost, check out the “New Rockstars” channel on YouTube. They have incredible “breakdown” videos for each episode that explain all the references, as well as summaries of each season of Rebels to catch you up.

Enjoying Mexico City with some friends who travelled from Canada just to surprise me on my 40th birthday (tomorrow).

Nice excuse to bring out the old Fuji X-T10 and 35mm f/1.4 and generate some #bokeh 📷

So “Container Queries” are now working in all major browsers, assuming people have updated since Sep 2023…

Can we please start using them for everything?

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_container_queries

I think I'll start employing it for responsive refinements, where the page still always makes sense without them, but uses them to get perfect layouts at every possible breakpoint, which is the long-awaited promise of container-based styles.
