@hannah@posts.rat.pictures Dr. Pulaski is a much more interesting character than Dr. Crusher and I’m not afraid to say it

@tootbrute @dantheclamman “86” as in ‘get rid of,’ and “47” as in the 47th President. If you’re wondering how that could possibly be construed as a threat of murder, you’re right.

@nileane@nileane.fr At first glance, it kinda looks like you’re wearing a big tricorn hat
If you’re ever annoyed by the giant list of useless results Spotlight spits out, or how it takes like three tries for the Control-Command-Space emoji/character menu to show up, this app is for you

It’ll always be funny that the HBO intro is the absolute mathematically worst possible thing for digital video to render
Went to search through a podcast transcript on Podcasts.app for Mac and found the UI ugly and broken, so I went to take a screenshot for Mastodon, and found the UI utterly broken in a second, even worse way

@kevinrenskers > Apple won’t earn another cent from me for hardware.
If one of your existing products bit the dust, would you consider replacing it second-hand through eBay? Technically, Apple wouldn’t get any money. How would you weigh that, morally?
You don’t need to be a big audiophile to love the AirPods Max 2. But considering how Apple has mistreated the product line so far, you have to be a little bold to buy them yourself.

@foone@digipres.club Far from their last cursed design — I have this one, the Panasonic CF-W8, which has both a circular trackpad and a bizarre flip-up CD drive that sits partially under the keyboard

@cabel I have a very strong recommendation. Buy these Voortman wafers, any flavor. Perfectly average snack.
But then, you put them in the freezer and eat them cold. The filling gets cold and refreshing, the wafer stays crunchy. 12/10 excellent, especially with a hot drink

@marlies Not a great metaphor because it doesn’t answer why you want to do that in the first place, does it?
“Why do I need the slap the mailbox five times every day before I open it?”
“Imagine you’re a duck and you get a piece of bread every time you do. You’d do it a lot, right?”
A metaphor involving speed or efficiency would explain why it’s desirable to do it in fewer steps. Like, “Imagine you have to walk a full circle around the classroom each time you want to press a button.”
Statistically, odds are that I’ll eventually own a mattress that is younger than I am, but now is not that time
