Something interesting that crossed my mind yesterday was this. Most people had their own websites in the late 90s to 2000s. Is this still the case? Has it become too difficult to make a website, or do people just rely on social media to post content now?

Sonos takes a cue from Apple, citing ‘courage’ as why its new app is disliked https://9to5mac.com/2024/05/09/sonos-app-courage/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

@9to5Mac It’s interesting that this dislike is not just in the accessibility community. I haven’t owned a Sonos product, and it’s a shame that they’ve done this to their app.

You know, I think I really like having a. larger Mac, and then a 13 inch iPad compared to an MacBook Air. The iPad has a lot more apps, and I don’t have to use things like SiriusXM or Disney+ in a browser where I have to do things like that on my MacBook Air.

I’m really thinking that today’s event is only half of the story for the iPad this year. I think WWDC will have some really cool iPadOS features. What do you think?

@BTyson I personally really enjoyed the event. I can’t wait to get the new hardware, and I think they will do more with it now that they have a better keyboard and trackpad for it.

The new iPad Pro has a new flash that is supposed to allow for better scanning of documents. I wonder if this is a software thing, or if it will work on other iOS devices.

@technocounselor It is on the back of the iPad.

Is there a mainstream Windows Mastodon client that is really popular?

I am really surprised that there is no Fediverse alternative to something like TikTok. I know there is PeerTube, but I don't think it can do something similar.

Some people are going crazy over the fact that the rabbit r1 is basically an ANdroid app running on custom hardware.

Why does that surprise people? Forking Android is the easiest and most cost effective way to get an idea to market. I think they are brilliant for doing this. Many Assistive Technology companies do this as well.

I decided to try Castro based on a recommendation from @payown and It's a really nice podcast app.

Ok so I think I've tried mostly everything, but I'd still like to have my server's compose form to look like mastodon.social. any ideas? Custom CSS is not being applied if I try that method. I also wonder if I need to install 4.3.0 nightly to get that to work as well.

So I ordered the rabbit r1 today, and the email confirming my order was… not fully accessible. Not a good start.

Also, they do not use capital letters in their emails or websites. I’m guessing its a style thing.

This is fun. I am downloading and building all of the llama 3 models to try with Python. It takes a while!
