@paul Thing is the concept of creating the video isn't bad. They just get it so wrong, is trying to sell it.

Not only is it the lowest effort of gifts (it's locked away on her phone even), it looks like she makes a face over the hammer like she's cranky about her own daughter remembering the birthday and actually getting a gift. Then she's smug af over the 'gift' she gives.

@paul This is worse than the crushed iPad. They need an app that helps them to read the room.

@paul and I thought the Bella Ramsey Apple Intelligence ones were bad.

@paul shutting down Congress would too

@paul The only problem with thinking like this is you also shut down all the people trying to make a net positive impact on society. Too bad really, but I guess you'll reap what you sow.

Obviously the hype is much more important than the environment.

@paul How did he die?

@paul @ggete Be happy, you can now says the famous quote « The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated » :D

@paul this is clearly a hallucination. Paul’s passing was not sad.

@paul that checks out

@paul Seriously, what WAS that?

@paul I refuse to believe Musk’s Twitter would use Optima. I would believe Comic Sans. Or, for some reason, Zapf Chancery.

@paul I made that exact observation some 20 years ago when I nuked all the cron jobs on our pet email server at school by slipping a tiny amount on the keys

@paul totally agree, I’ve been bitten by that one too

@paul hence my alias crontab='crontab -i' in my .bashrc , asks for yes/no when accidentally fucking up

@paul : I see what you did there! 😆😆

@paul with keywords such as x, and uh Twitter.

@paul you just know he’ll be complaining about being censored in those results. I give it until next week.

@paul apps with actual real names have trouble, this sure as shit wont work out well

@paul Looks like the web UI is just for sharing of threads, though - it specifically says you need the app to like or reply.

@paul
Let's see how it'll go.

I’ve seen a lot of doom and gloom about Threads and the fediverse. I don’t personally have a problem with it. More people on the network is IMO better. No algorithmic timeline means you are still following who you want to follow, gatekeeping seems silly.

@paul At what point does it stop becoming an API?

The ghost of TwitterDev updated their change log (today, even though the change is dated 3 days ago) stating that the Following/Followers methods have been deprecated. Again no notice, no reasoning, no replacement, nothing.

@paul Just add a raid controller there, and I’ll be happy :)

@paul Their Echo 11 Thunderbolt 4 Dock is great. I suspect this will be as well, and for the price it's good value.

@paul Мультикарта современная, только не ISA, а PCI-E.

@paul AI is expensive! I think they’d only do that if they exhausted all options to extract free labor from human moderators.

@paul I'm also hoping for the last option because it will all but kill Reddit's value as a user.

Who had Reddit does dumb s**t on their bingo card? Oh everyone, well mark that square!

We never had the chance to shutdown Tweetbot but I probably would've made the same choice in Apollo's situation. For all of Twitter's 1.0 fault they weren't ever actively trying to kill us off. Sometimes they discouraged us, sometimes they encouraged, sometimes they ignore us.

Reddit is actively trying to get rid of 3rd party clients. No other way to view what's going on. You might be able to continue to plod along, but who the hell would want to?

@paul congrats!! 😍

@paul @ivory WooHoo

@paul Yay!! That AppStore splash isn't on UK Store though which is a shame.

@paul As others have noted, Amphetamine is probably the way to go if you just want to handle the sleep thing. But if you also want other stuff to turn or off just as quickly, OneSwitch might also be worth a try. https://fireball.studio/oneswitch

@paul See also: I need to refresh my IP address…. *ten clicks later*.

@paul use Amphetamine for MacOS. Works great.

Man at those speeds its almost tempting to just self-host a bunch of stuff and downgrade our hosted server. Not going to, but it sure is tempting.

@paul i pay like $7 for 500 mbit/s. There is plan with 900 mbit/s and $11 but i'm ok with 500.
AFAIK no restriction for public service hosting, host something public at home for last 15 years
