I keep seeing people talk about all the time ChatGPT is saving them, by not requiring them to learn everything about whatever they're using ChatGPT to write about. 🤦

Which orientation on the new iPads has the Apple "right-side up"?

People have been telling me for years that the primary orientation of the iPad is landscape, but that Apple on the back has always suggested to me that that's just not true.

@nyquildotorg Go look at pictures of the very first iPad Keyboard that Apple made and be prepared to have your mind blown. WTF indeed.

LinkedIn isn't a good network but I still can't fathom why people would think it is a good idea to put “maga" in their profile by-line. I see it right next to their title or company more and more often.

On the one hand it is, at least for me, a flag telling me to avoid their org but on the other.... how can people be so incomprehensibly stupid?

techphotoguy,
@techphotoguy@mastodon.social avatar

@chris I'm not sure there's a big leap in the level of stupid from “I endorse MAGA" to “I publicly endorse MAGA”

A local Mediterranean restaurant offers some of the best fried potatoes I've ever eaten.

There are two options: medium cut potato rounds and large cut potato rounds, and the size describes the diameter of the slices of potato that are then fried.

The larger ones often end up in a super state where half of one is thin and crispy like an American "chip" (a UK crisp) while the other is thick and fluffy like an American fry (UK chip).

They are amazing.

I have witnessed multiple offices get nothing done for entire days after someone started a "is a hot dog a sandwich" debate.

I assure you, no matter how well thought out you think your argument is, someone else has already countered it. It's a problem just like the Pluto problem: there's no definition of sandwich that will encapsulate everything you and Tim from accounting both think the definition is, and will one day require a new definition to concretely rule on whether a hot dog is or isn't a sandwich. (Just like with Pluto.)

All I can say for sure is nearly half of the people who've ever had this debate are going to be really angry. (Just like with Pluto.)

@nyquildotorg It's not my fault that Tim got pissy when I told him I enjoyed his mom's sandwich last night.

❓Did Instagram change their color temperature and exposure handling lately? Any previously edited photo uploaded to Instagram looks totally blasted out after posting. Photos that look ok in drafts get big color shifts and exposure changes after.

It’s been this way for a couple weeks. It’s annoying that a photo app can’t do WYSIWYG editing reliably.

Is it just me? Makes me never want to post to Instagram again.

@mathowie Instagram has been trash for photos for a few years. If you want a photo-centric app by and for photographers, I'm a big fan of @glass

    Threads including camera features is rich.

    It's almost as if folks want to share and view photos in a clean app without a ton of other crap.

    Hm.

    Everyone flocking there, however, is Charlie Brown running up to that football again…

    In its current state... I'll stand by my statement. If they make some decent improvements? Which I hope they do? IT could become a lot more usable. Time will tell.
