Smartphones badly need trivial controls on blocking/not-blocking unknown callers. Including scheduling.
I should be able to just poke my phone and arrange "don't silence unknown callers from 10-11am tomorrow" the same way I update my alarm.
I can get partway here with Shortcuts on iOS but not all the way. Maybe I'm missing some things.

lol ok Marco Arment, I guess we know where you stand on justice related issues now
(idk why I still have his RSS in my feed, tbh, I don't use any of his apps, he was just a good Apple blogger way BITD or something?)
OH: “Like Gibson's cyberspace and Clarke's tablet computers, Bubblegum Crisis is well-regarded as predictive science fiction by being the first to identify Boomers as a serious threat to humanity.”

Wondering how poor, stupid Embolo is going to fare this evening. You’d think the rest of his team would be a bit incensed he took a pointless dive while already having a yellow card. Arguably what lost them the game.
#MensWorldCup showing how men’s football just doesn’t quite live up to the women’s. Maybe they should take it seriously instead of flopping around like fish all the time? #WorldCup

Some really interesting divergences in @ricci@discuss.systems’ hashtag tool, with a semi popular tech nerd instance as the medium and my home of #SocialCoop as the smol:
https://tag-federation.online/#tag=caturday&servers=mastodon.social,infosec.exchange,social.coop - Caturday broadly as visible here as on infosec.exchange, both being a sizable majority of m.s. Similar for DogsOfMastodon.
https://tag-federation.online/#tag=throwbackThursday&servers=mastodon.social,infosec.exchange,social.coop - ThrowbackThursday enjoys almost perfect replication on infosec, yet almost nothing on social.coop!
https://tag-federation.online/#tag=TransRights&servers=mastodon.social,infosec.exchange,social.coop - trans rights looks more like the animals hashtags than the nostalgia one, but with a bit more of a local to me dropoff.
Already wondering what kinds of pseudo-research one could do here re: what categories of hashtags have broader reach, and how fast the drop off is on smaller instances.

FTR, most helicopter flyovers I experience seem to be one of a few common groups:
- medivac flights to one of the two medical centers I live between
- rich assholes flying back to a local municipal from their vacation house in the Hamptons
- military assets on their way to/from Fort Dix in #CentralJersey #NewJersey (which exists!)
So this one was pretty unique, especially after it flew over like 3 times in rapid succession…

After following 78 and 287 for a little while, it seems to have finally landed, at Somerset Airport (which is also _relatively_ close to the start of its tracked flight path, which pretty obviously picked up after takeoff) #NewJersey
Random showerthought: wondering how much folks’ willingness to embrace “AI” correlates inversely with critical thinking skills.

I’m very glad to see Kelsey Hightower appears to have avoided the “AI” kool-aid.

Game very good, glad I gave it a shot despite not being a big Swimming Game person nor big into Creepy Alien Jumpscares.
If that describes you, you should also consider giving it a shot!

@ubernostrum@infosec.exchange @ivory@tapbots.social bizarre! I just tried a few random things (eg turning off tailscale / nextdns) but no change here. Wonder what else could be differing. I’m on iPadOS 26.5.1 atm.

@ubernostrum@infosec.exchange @ivory@tapbots.social mystery semi-deepens: identical behavior on my phone. (But when this problem shows up it does usually manifest as “ivory just can’t show me these toots anywhere”.)
@ivory@tapbots.social any guesses as to why this toot refuses to show up (on iPadOS)? Triggers the “uh idk chief, try a browser?” popup (if searched for directly) or is just mysteriously invisible when I’m viewing one of the replies to it.

@vashbear@hachyderm.io ya it’s less the flop itself and more the doing it with a yellow already logged / creating a situation where it might be checked by VAR.

@camelliakyoto@mastodon.social Absolutely! I was definitely being sarcastic. You could probably stand to promote more often, to be honest 😁 Thank you for all that you share!
