TIL that #Apple passwords defaults to allow websites to automatically upgrade existing accounts to use passkeys. O_o Thanks to @iamkonstantin@mstdn.social for the alert about it before something happened to my accounts.

Very interesting take on the social impact of AI that ran by me on one of the endless scrollers:

Especially with the pay by use model AI has all the characteristics of a slot machine: You give a task, don't know how long it will take, if it will be successful, and how expensive it is. Which each prompt you pull the arm of the slot machine again in hope to get lucky with a good outcome. High potential to trigger all the addiction loops for many people. Always leaving you wanting for more…

I was today years old when I found out that @Mara@hachyderm.io is painting hearts in her github contribution graph, and I love it.

In case you also have macFUSE installed and were wondering why the system is telling you that Benjamin Fleischer is now running software in the background. ^^

@dansup@mastodon.social also cool trick for colored signs: print a solid color layer, and then just a mask on top with the stuff you want to see missing. That way you have more leeway for detail as it is only based on the gaps you can produce, not on the actual nozzle diamter so much. but it all depends on the design and if you want to have something tangible.

I will never get why "serious" publishers allow their ads to look this way.

This is a screenshot from the regular heise.de homepage. Actively misleading layout that is close to the site ones just in the middle. Come on, if you want journalism to survive don't do this shit. Nothing of this is okay. It is your site, your decision. If you want to show some integrity you can.

#FunFact it is 2026 and #Apple's official freeform app every other time I wake up my machine ends up in a beachball being unresponsive.

super annoying. Chose the Uno card game from the Arcade apple app store for the little one to play locally. In seems through many little updates that game was transformed into a mainly arcade esque multiplayer online thing. It stays hard to find suitable gaming content for the little ones. And apple arcade is not helping much by allowing all those slot machine esque games with their slot machine mechanics :(

lol. Waveform podcast ad insertion total fail. Instead of the show beginning playing all sponsor insertions back to back with a few seconds silence in between.

How I hate this technique in general.

@caseyliss@mastodon.social Thanks for putting him on the radar for me some years ago! Also please all independent content creators, continue to take a stand. That's what the independents and direct funding is for! I root for all of you turning this ship around eventually, but all of you have to take action for this to stay in the realm of possible.

Oh damn. I just now realized that all the shitty practices towards users from musescore and ultimate guitar are no coincidence. Didn't realized there was a buy in 2018 already, and since ever the business models seem to get on the darker side step by step. *sadface*

Background: almost every time I open up ultimate tabs on my devices I have to run through a fricking mandatory survey I don't have any interest in that ends with a dark pattern upsell screen. :(

@gedeonm@mastodon.social I've considered myself late to the game watching Stargate SG1 too (I think 5 years ago), and was very pleasantly surprised how good it was. Very popcorny too often, but generally speaking really nice stuff. Enjoy while it lasts! (still sad that Stargate Universe was cancelled)

@nikitonsky@mastodon.online @mamsell yeah - it is very sad how little current apple seems to know about proven and correct user interface techniques and rules. One might hope that the departure of Alan Dye will help restore some, but the damage is done in strides across the system already. Not an easy one to fix consistently once the general rule of sanity/consistency has been broken, especially the way it has with liquid glass.

@anildash@me.dm @Gargron@mastodon.social For the record: I'm glad I left Apple in the first Trump administration. I saw Trumps staff being hosted in the newly apple campus and was already appalled. The signs were there already. Turns out it only got worse from there.
