The criticism and meme that Tim Cook has always been a pencil-pushing numbers guy going to great measures to enshittify all aspects of every product line in the name of maximizing shareholder t̵h̵e̵f̵t̵ value has resulted in the funnist fucking Apple Store page of his era.

@mindfad hmm. I guess I’ll take the Apple Pencil.

World and avatar creators!

We'd like to give you a sneak peek at our SDK roadmap for 2024!

@Reno I just figured this out too. I’m glad VRChat is participating in ActivityPub, even if it’s just a checkbox over there.

I hope they expand their participation.

@coywolf hey, I see you updated this post a month ago. https://www.coywolf.news/social/twitter-alternative-mastodon/

Why not update it to remove the wildly out of date info about migration tools?

Your update dates are conspicuously prominent. You seem to surface them for SEO. This is why your post was shown first when I went looking for up to date info on options for migration tools. I was looking, because the original tools that were made have been broken for a very long time.

@jon @coywolf fair enough. My apologies.

@owlboy@mastodon.social avatar

@jon @coywolf I’ve checked in on it periodically. Sadly, I don’t think there are any options anymore. Nothing easily automated, that is. This is the source of my misplaced frustration. It’s a bummer of a situation.

owlboy,
@owlboy@mastodon.social avatar

@jon @coywolf Yeah, you see how it goes when I check in on the situation now. Appologies again.

I'm kind of surprised there hasn't been any news of Apple throwing their hat into the ring for a Paramount buyout. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/02/warner-bros-discovery-paramount-no-longer-considering-merger/

@colincornaby Apple owning Star Trek would be… wow.

Piping a script downloaded over plaintext http into bash as root on safety critical systems is totally fine, say Florida health officials

Made minor updates to the example "Ask ChatGPT” action. It now includes an option to select the model used, and will default to using the text selection from the editor as the prompt. Update: https://directory.getdrafts.com/a/2J8

@drafts oh nice, that post answers my question… about cost.

Thanks for sharing the details with the context that you included.

@shanie I feel lucky that I have not yet run across evidence of the spam attacks going on.

I’m thankful for the admins that are tackling it.

#birdui is pretty yummy lookin'. I'm going to @owlboy because I'd like to see what he thinks.

@shanie all I can see the the non-Euclidean iMac that person is holding.

@shanie also, I hate using the official birdsite site. Mostly due to speed. And I always used a third party client. So it felt gross using the raw site. So I have baggage there.

Seems nice tho!

@christianselig Juno feedback:

  • Scrubbing from anywhere in the video window is troublesome for me. I’m constantly bumping it on accident. Causing it to jump ahead or back.

  • In other video apps you can’t bump anything until you bring up the controls.

  • A setting to disable the feature would be fantastic.

  • Alternatively, have it only work when the video controls are up and have been up for a moment

This is a clever app. I look forward to using it more!

What?! It didn’t come with Apple stickers?!

Unless I missed them, I’m gonna have to call up Apple to ask for some.

I got some stickers! #visionpro

owlboy,
@owlboy@mastodon.social avatar

I just learned that Apple just started to stop including stickers in their products for environmental reasons. It seems they may have started this year, with the Vision Pro(?)

The new iPads do not come with stickers either.

It's the end of a multi-decade tradition. -- But they do have stickers on hand in store if you request them when you buy a product that would have traditionally come with one.

My first Mac was my family’s Performa 575. Purchased from Sam’s Club.

We later upgraded to the Rev A iMac.

the thing about telling people that they deserve something good is that it's almost always an effective tactic and also almost always a total fabrication

but, anyways, you deserve a break, go pour yourself a drink

@cube_drone I like the one where people tell you how busy you are. You’re very busy.
