Gregory's Server

absolute banger of a design thread by yours truly if you're a server admin, this is your sign to let your users decide if they want to block threads.net or not — don't make that decision for them.
[DATA EXPUNGED]
gonna jump in the replies before anyone else does: you cannot persuade me on this. I've heard the whole evil Meta thing, I don't need a lecture. Some people will want to connect with someone on Threads and it's not your place to strip them of their freedom to connect with whomever they want. thanks love you this decal on my dishwasher got me thinking about when our prayers will be answered and we’ll finally get dishwasher DRM

💡🤔 Things that didn’t exist in 2011 Apple Watch thanks for the insights jon Can someone from the #android realm suggest an app that lets me markup screenshots in a way that's nicer than the Pixel's built-in markup tool? Bonus points for pretty UI. I'm mostly using this when I notice something in an app I work on, want to capture what the issue is and add something to remind myself what it is that I should be looking at. This is the best I can muster using the default tool and it's kinda a pain in the ass:   Skitch is nice but it's no longer maintained. No longer on Google Play either but here's an apk. nobody prepares you for when there's a song stuck in your head but only the instrumental part

@samhenrigold Maybe you’re thinking of the 2008 hit “Whoa Oh! (Me vs. Everyone)” by Dallas-based Forever The Sickest Kids. @samhenrigold About 50 years ago, someone wrote a book consisting solely of lists of strings of notes marked as U for 'up', D for 'down', and S for 'same'. These strings were about 25 characters long, and the author determined that nearly every melody, whether classical, jazz, or popular, could be identified solely by determining whether the next note was higher ('up'), lower ('down'), or the same as the previous note for a string of roughly 25 notes. And I recall it worked.

Here’s another bit of WWDC 2007 inside baseball. One of the presenters did a session with an internal build of Mac OS X Leopard, 9A462. Redesigned Aqua, but with the old-style Tiger Apple menu. For comparison, 9A466 was the build seeded to WWDC 2007 attendees (second screenshot) you need to register to vote if for no other reason than to counteract this fucking guy’s vote. no blinking, just brain worms. cancelled my Philo subscription and their "please don't go" offer kind made me giggle. oh no, i'll lose access to (checks list) anger management TV and failarmy!! just to be clear, “anger management channel” is not a channel dedicated to self help sessions. it’s a 24/7 stream of the sitcom Anger Management (2012, 23% rotten tomatoes) I don't like what it says about me that Netflix is 95% sure I'd enjoy watching test patterns for audio syncing. Eric Adams and the DA are willfully ignoring the root issue. They need to be cracking down on ghosts.  heh, found something extremely niche: before a session would start at WWDC 2007, a little video loop would play on the lower third of the screens to show the different session tracks. haven’t seen this until just now:

 @samhenrigold I really miss some of that old Ui. Quicklook was so good in black. Time Machine with stars was so good.  @samhenrigold I miss this era of Apple aesthetic so much. Why did Time Machine have a space vibe? Who cares, it looked amazing and wowed people. (first date) so was your college’s intranet powered by wordpress/joomla or a sharepoint @samhenrigold Mine uses some weird Salesforce abomination. Another college I briefly attended used Moodle as an intranet, it was even worse. everything happens all the time @samhenrigold this seems incredibly relevant to todays mystery AI hype newsletter about IRS looking to use LLMs to advise tax filers. atte: @alex @emilymbender |
