@stroughtonsmith Well, looking at the current political environment in the US it's hard to not feel Here's for the stupid ones is 💯 on target and a dream come true for Apple shareholders.

@stroughtonsmith Man, that's quite harsh!

@stroughtonsmith Ugh that sounds awful.

The dishwasher analogy struck me: while we do save time washing dishes thanks to the machine, we also easily become more wasteful in our usage of clean dishes. Same with clothes -- since they can be cleaned so easily, why not wear a fresh shirt for work everyday instead of the same one for a whole week?

Now what's the AI rewriting going to do but create more messages, which need to be summarized badly by AI to keep on top of it so we can message more 🥲

@stroughtonsmith Saskatchewan made it!

@stroughtonsmith I see people pointing this example out all the time. I just can’t replicate it.

@stroughtonsmith awesome ✨🤩

@stroughtonsmith This strangely reminded me of a recent dream I had, where all the constellations in the sky suddenly were over-detailed and contained lots more stars.

@stroughtonsmith Having gone thru and organized everything as much as possible, including editing the list of things under the sections (where you can!), it’s just as good as it’s going to get right now. I’ve seen so much backlash over the whole “You just fear change!” Thing, I’ve about given up on this fight.

@stroughtonsmith Fingers crossed that at some point they’ll turn the tiny toolbar search button into a full-size text field in the middle of the screen, between the library and collections

@stroughtonsmith are the section names in the list bold by default or is that your accessibility settings?

@stroughtonsmith I'm struggling to figure out how to use it for automated posting for a single account, because it seems to want to force you to show a screen to get a token.

It could be that I'm being stupid, though.

LC_VERSION_MIN_IPHONEOS on the embedded Swift libraries is set to iOS 7.0 👀 I should do some testing…

@stroughtonsmith last i checked it was iOS 8 but that was a while ago (2020) - in *theory* as long as they've kept support for the built-in Swift runtime i wouldn't imagine that'd have changed...? (12.2 is the minimum so if they officially support 12.0 still then that shouldn't be an issue)

i wasn't able to get anything working on iOS 7 even though they said it worked

@stroughtonsmith

@stroughtonsmith Incredible to watch this game torpedo itself into oblivion. Hard to fathom that no one stepped in and stopped this.

@stroughtonsmith Sony has been user-hostile since they became dominant with the PS4. Shame that Xbox has become so irrelevant. Has made this life-long console gamer (and PlayStation fan) turn to PC gaming for the first time.

@stroughtonsmith @rileytestut what other apps are currently in it?

@stroughtonsmith no SECAM means it's not available in France? ;-)

I'm curious how easy it would be to bypass the "in the EU" part. Surely someone is working on this?

@stroughtonsmith surely this is part of Meta’s play with Threads?

They lost a big chunk of potential users to TikTok and Snapchat, and of course lots of people have moved from Facebook to Instagram. They’ve seen social media migration patterns, and I bet they’re partly doing this to keep existing users on their apps for longer.

If you can access whatever the fun new thing is from the app you’re already using, you’re not going to leave that app, right?

@stroughtonsmith that would be really nice. 👍

@stroughtonsmith it feels like we might finally get back to (and improve upon) Google Reader

@stroughtonsmith I would love this emulation to evolve for the next iOS versions (probably with some emulated server components? 🤔)

Emulating it under iPhone at one point would be a nice touch as well 😎🤓

OK it took me a while, but I worked out I have to manually patch SpringBoard to enable third-party app icons. I figured I’d see if Lights Off runs, based on the code @chockenberry released — but that's all iPhoneOS 2.0 code, for the SDK, and needs a ton of work to backport it to iPhoneOS 1.0 😔

@stroughtonsmith Check out stevenote mode: https://hachyderm.io/@samhenrigold/110245575176907537

@stroughtonsmith this is legit awesome. 👏🏼

@stroughtonsmith That looks really cool! Looks similar to the older versions of Gnome!

The latest stable macOS at the time of me writing still contains NeXT assets:

@stroughtonsmith Is this specific to one app or will it sync to your mastodon account?

@stroughtonsmith Oooh, thank you for that tip!

@stroughtonsmith I‘m curious how does that work technically? With federation how does your server know about posts containing that hashtag from people that are neither followed by you nor anyone else on your instance? Or does following a hashtag only give you posts from the federated and home timeline? That would make it still a nice feature but also only half as useful for events where you want to find new people to follow by first following the hastag.

Just had my mind blown: So I NSLogged a description of my SceneKit hierarchy for the luls and gave it to ChatGPT and told it to turn it into Swift code. Gibberish, right? Well it had NO PROBLEM figuring out what I meant, and it just did what I wanted 🤯

@stroughtonsmith enjoy your vacation 🥳

@stroughtonsmith @pastelapp please 😃 I’m playing with the app and am scratching my head. I’m sure it’s just me 🤦🏻‍♂️
