biggest usability gripe with the ios 27 beta is that i keep accidentally drawing a search selection when i’m trying to crop or use live text on a screenshot.
it should be a tool i have to intentionally tap on to use instead of it just assuming i want google to see whatever i captured
is it ‘extension’, ‘addon’, or ‘plugin’? FUCKING PICK ONE
part of your web dev testing process should be trying to navigate your website solely using a screen reader. it’s been teaching me some things lately
tablet multitasking interfaces could really benefit from auto-tiling (looking at you, ipados 26)
saw a used book in a store with one of the most visually-striking covers ever made, i opened it, and turns out it’s a dictionary. a fucking dictionary.
you pasted that internal webhook into a server with 258 people on accident, didn’t you?
i’ve been playing around with ‘smallnet’ protocols recently, so i decided to set up a capsule for the gemini protocol. the markup language it uses tastes like markdown, and given how absolutely stripped down it is, pages for it load really fast. only downside i’ve found (that doesn’t make it more appealing) is it’s name. google took the name for their slopbot and it’s making it hard to find resources for it outside of the protocol space itself.
anyway, <gemini://theglasspenguin.capsule.town>

does anybody outside the *nix sphere use package managers for their general-use software (stuff like choco/scoop/winget on windows or brew on mac, excluding project dependencies)
started playing dredge. didn’t know i’d enjoy a game about fishing
the ios 27 beta is causing my test subject iphone to heat up faster than it usually does - only other time it’s reached the temperatures it’s at is when i accidentally left it in direct sunlight for 2 hours. i’m guessing this has something to do with the search indexer - it’s been stuck at 38% for the whole week post-install
currently installing the ios 27 beta on my old iphone for shits and giggles
if i try and download a piece of software and the only option on the download page is an “paste this curl+bash fuckery into your terminal and enter your sudo password” then that software is automatically ass. just give me a tarball or a package repo, i am perfectly capable of administering my own machine
every year, someone really close to where i live attempts a shitty rendition of the national anthem on their electric guitar before starting an ‘unauthorized’ firework show. the police usually show up pretty quick. this time, i counted about 4 explosions before they were forced to stop.
encrypt your drives and set a password on your bios/uefi settings, especially if you use a laptop that you take with you
whenever someone leaves a public computer unattended, you can either really help them or be a complete asshole by signing them out for them
