I just discovered the Fediverse (English) Wikipedia page has a huge section on AT Protocol and I question why. It seems like excessive promotion of Bluesky and its protocol that is not compatible with ActivityPub, both technically and in spirit. Illustrating bridging isn't the same as compatibility. Might as well add sections for other random network protocols like XMPP (Jabber). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse #ActivityPub #Fediverse #wikipedia

@flexghost@mastodon.social Blade Runner Ridley Scott has made so many excellent movies, but this is his best in my mind. The world is so rich and all of the characters are fully-developed. Not to mention the perfect soundtrack by Vangelis. https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/10/2/16375126/blade-runner-future-city-ridley-scott

@ascentale@sfba.social @bikenite@fedigroups.social A8. At the start of my train trip this week at St. Paul, Minnesota Union Depot I saw this bike rack, which seems rather useful due to the spacing of the rings, and it is simple yet artistic. I couldn't take my bicycle on the train trip, but I did bring along a bicycle helmet with the intent of bicycling at my destination of Albuquerque, New Mexico. #BikeNite #cycling

@stux@mstdn.social Yeah that confused me, had to read the options multiple times. Nasty dark pattern.

@MartyCormack@urbanists.social @ascentale@sfba.social @uxMark@cosocial.ca @cainmark@mstdn.social @bikenite@fedigroups.social A6. My area hit over 800 AQI yesterday, and I've decided I won't ride if the AQI is over 300. If it's above 100 I won't ride without a mask, if at all. I regularly wear a KF94 mask indoors, but I've been wanting a reusable/washable mask for biking. I am looking at getting a GATA mask, but there are mixed reviews on it and they're currently sold out of my size. If anyone knows of something along the same line I'd be interested. https://www.gatapack.com #BikeNite

@flexghost@mastodon.social I'll watch any edition, but the American Theatrical Release (with the voice-over and happy ending) is the least-good version. But the Final Cut is the best. I actually bought a Blu-ray player when the Ultimate Collector's Edition was released with the five editions. Which means I have the silver briefcase.

@plzupgrademe@fedi.txw.ca I concur, the Amtrak burger in the dining car is very tasty. My experience is most of the dining car food is quite good. (There's also a cafe burger which is microwaved, but I've never tried one.)

@danlyke@researchbuzz.masto.host Computer languages? Maybe something like serving up obfuscated C code would be hilarious. Do other languages have obfuscation contests?

@WesternInfidels @corbet Mail servers use of "greylisting" (initially denying suspect connections and then let the retry through) helps avoid this "drive-by" kind of traffic. Maybe need something similar for PRs? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greylisting_(email)

@mattiem @Cykelero I’ve found the swap number is telling. My systems tend to start having issues when swap gets into double digits.

@tewha@appdot.net I’m pretty sure it’s storage. All supported models have 64 GB. Ultra 1 has 32 GB. https://www.mattpopovich.com/posts/the-complete-apple-watch-comparison-chart-tech-specs/

@tewha@appdot.net System Settings > Printers & Scanners > ｿ Then click on "Options & Supplies…" button, and then "Show Printer Web Page…" button.

@cdfinder@techhub.social @BasicAppleGuy@mastodon.social CodeWarrior was the best IDE I've ever used.

@mattiem@mastodon.social This has been on my mind as well. I was on the verge of getting a Vision Pro for development but have put that on hold indefinitely, and I always get the latest MacBook Air for my work but I'm disinclined to do so when the new M4 one comes out. Apple is noted for maintaining their DEI initiatives (so far), so there's that. But going back to Xitter is a hard thing to take.

@superbetsy Haha, I did the same thing! You figure when temps are getting near 80 ºF it's time to swap tires, but then Minnesota laughs.

@BmeBenji @inthehands Rogue One definitely needs to be in the top three, I'd say it's a toss-up between Empire Strikes Back and Rogue One for best movie.

The new Preview app icon really is jarring. It's like skeuomorphism but for something that's not real. And it really doesn't convey any meaning, let alone something like "preview". Aren't icons supposed to represent concrete ideas? Otherwise isn't it just a texture? #macOS27

@jgordon@appdot.net my QC45 is great, lightweight with USB-C charging. I don’t know how it compares to the current QC models.

@jgordon@appdot.net Oh nice price! It looks like a step up from my QC45 from 2021, so I bet you'll be very pleased with them. I've literally worn them for five hours at a time, very comfortable.

@tewha@appdot.net It does not seem to be fixed. I've been seeing this same issue with some machines, although if I let it sit for a day sometimes it starts doing them regularly again. Also possibly related, I've got a machine where the clock widget will stop updating. I'm wondering if there's some low-level timer on the system that's failing.

@tewha@appdot.net I like network printing because the machine can offload the work to the printer right away, but I can see how scanning would be better over USB.

@tewha@appdot.net That seems like the warning for an unsigned app.

@tewha@appdot.net SF Symbols is definitely signed. I guess the "is damaged" dialog covers things that aren't obvious, a shame it doesn't give better information.

@zhcet@mastodon.design @marioguzman@mastodon.social But how much credibility does Gurman have? Hasn’t he been spectacularly wrong on some things lately? And then there’s the long-running credibility failure of Bloomberg over its Chinese chip hacking thing.

@BasicAppleGuy@mastodon.social Aperture. People probably don't realize Adobe Lightroom was created as an answer to Aperture, and Aperture did so many things so well. It was killed off for the lackluster Photos, which still fails on photo management and expects everyone to use iCloud Photos. Aperture was still viable when it got the axe, all it needed was some attention.
