Not gonna lie, I love using the Thanos snap image on internal software deprecation notices. It’s kinda my thing…

There’s something oddly satisfying about working upstairs in my tiny home office while a little robot vacuum buzzes around downstairs cleaning up rogue Goldfish crackers and dog kibble.

This is the true definition of .

It isn’t really any law that seems to be enforced very well if you ask me, nor enforceable at all. The majority using such tactics are spam scam. Even if a bot is handling the ‘do not call’ request. Now, are you willing to sell that real estate we think you own?

@Chancerubbage @agiletortoise Ha! True. For me the worst offender is the Red Cross. I gave you blood like a week ago, no I don’t want to schedule another appointment.

Sometimes the non-spam is spammier than the spam.

Every time I grab my iPad to do the Apple News Crosswords, I wonder why I can’t do it with the Apple Pencil and just write in the squares.

@jimmylittle this is dumb that you can’t, because you can literally just write in any text field in iOS and it will transcribe it for you

Aaah, fuck it - Just put macOS on my WATCH already.

Every time I use Siri on my WATCH, which is often, it drives me insane that the Siri blob overlay does not center itself over the bottom center complication.

@freequaybuoy sorry…

I assume the watch face moves around a bit to pixel-shift and help reduce OLED burn-in, which makes total sense. But move the Siri blob with it!

Searching for Google IO 2024 on YouTube puts the official keynote below a news carousel and #6 in the results, at least with my algorithm.

I hope this isn’t the future of Google Search. I’ve watched several videos about Google leading up to I/O, so YouTube should know what I want to see - and it ain’t “news about Google protesters” from a local NBC station 7 hours away.

The stage design at I/O is always so much fun. This is serious 1988 Apple vibes, and I miss that fun vibe from Apple.

3-½ minutes in and already the dumbest quote of the year:

“since then, we released the first Gemini model, the most capable yet”

So, more capable than literally nothing? Cool cool cool…

Reason number 3,421 I would never use Linux as my primary operating system. (You do you, it’s just not for me)

Open source is awesome, until it isn’t. https://fosstodon.org/@keepassxc/112417353193348720

All these CEOs (including mine) on this list are overpaid - BUT

It really wouldn’t help writers and actors that much. There are 180,000 people in those two unions. Let’s assume half of them work regularly, so 60k people.

All these salaries total $238,000,000. That’s a lot of money! Now, divide by 60,000 and you get about $4k. If every CEO took a pay cut 50% cut, then each working actor/writer would get about $1983 a year. That doesn’t really solve any problems. https://masto.ai/@rbreich/112418248628529925

The Crush ad was fine.It’s just a visual metaphor showing “you can do all this stuff on an iPad if you want to”

The fact that so many creative and artistic people are taking it as a literal destruction of physical tools makes me doubt how creative and artistic those people actually are. My guess is it’s mostly CGI, right?

Meanwhile, they did a WHOLE SEGMENT on replacing live musicians with A.I. in Logic Pro and nobody bats an eye.

Priorities, people.

@jimmylittle

I'm with you, though my guess is that the scene was filmed practically. (What did disappointingly appear to have been CGI was the model's demonstrative hand for the new Pencil.)

jimmylittle,
@jimmylittle@hachyderm.io avatar

@Starfia I don’t know, maybe. There are a lot of weird moments that seem generated. The squishing bust, the confetti out of the spray can, headstocks on the guitars bending over instead of snapping off, the stress ball rolling perfectly to the edge and facing up, multiple camera angles of things that would be nearly impossible to film unless the camera was also inside the hydraulic press.

If it was all practical, it’s very impressive.

About two weeks into using Arc as my main work browser.

Pros:

  • lack of window chrome/clutter
  • bookmarks-as-tabs is great
  • sidebar > toppy tabs
  • ⌘-L

Things I’m Still Grokking/Cons:

  • separate windows aren’t really separate windows
  • just figured out double-clicking a tab/bookmark reloads the ORIGINAL url, even if I’ve navigated away.
  • Lots of hidden interaction.
  • Extensions are hidden under a menu

Oh, one thing I love that I forgot was Little Arc. Just having things like email validation and Zoom re-directs pop up in a disposable window is super useful.

Funny to me that the people who complain that “iPad hardware isn’t the problem, it’s iPadOS that is holding it back!” are the same people complaining today that the new iPads only support Thunderbolt 4 instead of TB5. 🙄

I get what the WATCH is trying to do with color-blocking emoji, but I just don’t like it. I use emoji to prefix calendar appointments and they provide no context without color or detail.

For reference, these two calendar events are preceded by a 🎲 and 🗓️ emoji, but they’re just kinda white blobs.
