Not bad 👍 PiS is finally down to #2, and with a pretty big difference 😏 Though pretty bad for the center-right and left coalition partners 🫤 And the far-right Confederation did really good too…

And he said that apparently things aren't looking good in France and Germany? #EUElections 🇵🇱🇪🇺

I’m not a big fan of how much warmer the white balance is on this iPad’s screen vs. my MacBook (with True Tone off!)… It looks much more yellowish and I prefer more blueish whites. But I think that’s just how they set it everywhere now? I tested briefly an iPhone Mini and IIRC it was also like this.

Oh man, I love this - in "tablet mode" (without keyboard), I can use the Pencil to show link URLs on hover (literally hovering, not touching the glass) (see bottom-left corner) 🤯

This was honestly the main reason why I didn't do more reading on the iPad - because there are often a lot of links in articles and I’m used to quickly hovering the cursor over them on the Mac to see if it's something worth opening in a new tab, but this was too inconvenient on iOS, with the preview loading etc…

(I wasn't checking it waiting for a round number, I swear!)

Btw, I'm planning to add some kind of bidirectional contact search there, so you can look up which of your Mastodon/Bluesky friends are available on the other side.

🌉 PSA: if you're only posting on Mastodon/Fediverse, but you'd like your posts to be seen on #Bluesky too using the Bridgy bridge, all you need to do is follow the bridge account here: @bsky.brid.gy - and all your posts will be mirrored to Bluesky/ATProto, and people from there can interact with you if their accounts are bridged too. Let's build a connected meta-fediverse (lowercase m) 😄

I got myself a little present for Children's Day 👦🏻😅

Ok, #SQL wizards plz help 🥺

I have a table posts (#SQLite), with a string repo (user DID) and int thread_id. Thread_id references the thread root post, around 1/6 of posts have thread_id NULL, the rest are replies. There's an index on repo+time and one on thread_id.

I want to select recent posts from one or more users that have thread_id NULL. But this very smart query planner uses the thread_id index to find posts, even though that will make it check 1/6 of all posts…

I love how passive-aggressive the Sqlite documentation is 🙃

The EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN Command Warning: The data returned by the EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN command is intended for interactive debugging only. The output format may change between SQLite releases. Applications should not depend on the output format of the EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN command. Alert: As warned above, the EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN output format did change substantially with the version 3.24.0 release (2018-06-04). Additional minor changes occurred in version 3.36.0 (2021-06-18). Further changes are possible in subsequent releases.

EU Commission wants to introduce mandatory filtering for E2EE messaging services. Signal says they would leave EU if this passes… 😐

@EU_Commission please rethink this, it would be a disaster if this proposal is passed…

Thank you past Kuba who added a 2-paragraph long description in a commit that fixes something, in case I forgot what this was about again, because I happened to forget what this was about again 🙏

Interesting… so the iPad Pro 11" had a more widescreen aspect ratio than the 12.9", and the new one has slightly more widescreen one. It's 32 px wider, and it looks like it's diagonally larger about as much as the bigger one, which would make it a 11.1" really 🤔

I'm not exactly sure how it's happened, but it's pretty cool I can see Bluesky accounts talking on here.
It seems a shared interest in the misfortunes of the Nazi Bar has bridged the technical divide somewhere.
