Continuing my series of “you saw what movie with your mom?!,” I took my mom to see Challengers today. We had a great time and mom is now a certified Zendaya stan. She wants to see it again. She also loved the soundtrack.

Watching Linux distros (and yes, it is usually Debian packagers who act the most sanctimonious) shoot themselves in the face and then insult upstream AND the users of a popular package under the delusion that only the distro's self-declared experts are capable of making decisions is always a good reminder as to why you will never be able to waterboard me into using Linux as my primary desktop. Very sorry this is happening Team KeePassXC. https://fosstodon.org/@keepassxc/112417353193348720

The problem with the iPad as as many have pointed out is that the software hampers what it can do unless you’re willing to contort yourself into a very specific workflow. For most casual users those limitations aren’t an issue and the advantages of the form factor outweigh the deficits. But when you charge MBPro money for a device the trade-offs sting. As @jsnell says, the best solution would be to just let us virtualize macOS on an iPad Pro when using it in certain modes https://sixcolors.com/post/2024/05/the-ipad-pro-is-no-longer-the-future-so-whats-next/

Love this from @ismh - I haven’t written much about the new iPads yet because if I buy one, it will probably be so I can hand my 2022 M2 Pro to my mom (since trade-in is less than a 10th gen iPad with 256GB and cellular costs…which is insane. Not for the trade-in but the iPad 10th gen price) and not b/c I need to upgrade. B/c the software means I still use my iPad primarily as a media consumption device. No matter how great the hardware, the software is the rub. https://512pixels.net/2024/05/the-problems-never-the-hardware/

OK, so you know the so-called "source code leak" from Rabbit for the #r1 last week? It wasn't a real leak, but what it showed was different than what I was expecting. So Rabbit Hole, the way you configure your R1 -- it only works on desktops, which I thought was rather odd. And then I went to manage my connection and I figured out why. This whole thing is a fucking VNC session in the web browser served as if it is a modal login

OK, this is a walkthrough of the weird VNC thing #rabbit #r1 uses for connecting accounts. Again, I'm not saying there is anything necessarily wrong with doing this. I am saying there are way better ways to do this. And the clipboard button workaround is very funny.

All of the talk over the last few weeks about startups shipping unfinished hardware reminds me, and not for the first time, what a triumph the #playdate is. The whole @panic crew worked so hard to deliver something that fulfilled expectations and then some against challenges (like a global pandemic and supply chain fiasco) that would have leveled others.

This is fantastic. If you’ve got the Rabbit apk launcher plz share with me christina at christina dot is. This is hilarious. https://www.androidauthority.com/rabbit-r1-is-an-android-app-3438805/

Honestly, support ublock origin and you can win back the Mac browser market. But the current extension model in Safari is such a terrible experience for every person involved, developers and users. https://techhub.social/@Techmeme/112360846501810807

The only time I’ve ever been what one could call a “responsible” consumer in my entire life was my refusal to buy an Apple Vision Pro. https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/27/24142810/apple-vision-pro-ebay-low-prices

So other than Taylor Swift, the only song I’ve had on replay for the last week or so is this. This is the song of the summer for 2024. Calling it now. https://youtu.be/t7bQwwqW-Hc?si=cu5H2gBM7PLQHT6F

Masties help me out: is there a way in Ivory or any other app for me to search my own past toots? I opted into the search thing.

You guys. I just made a playlist that is 69 songs and 4hrs 20 minutes. It wasn’t even intentional. But this feels right. It feels good. #420day

Apparently Apple Music for Mac has rabid fanbois (they are all men. All of them) and they are on Threads?! Of all the truly shitty products to stan, you want to defend Apple Music on the Mac?! I’ll defend Apple Music on iOS, even tho sync is a shit show, but on the desktop?! Man normies are weird.

Spot on. And I'll add: It’s also a dev kit positioned as a consumer product, priced as an enterprise/industrial tool but without any of the features that enterprise/industry can use. The whole thing remains a mess and no amount of “whataboutism” or iPhone comparisons, as if we aren't living in a different time, will change the fact that this thing is DOA in its current form and positioning.

You can overcome that: Apple Watch did. But this isn’t anything like iPhone.
