Antony JohnstonI always wanted to write a story where someone's going around killing retired 007s, so the surviving so-called "Bonds" have to band together, figure out who's behind it, and stop the killer. Sign this man up for the lead:
Christina WarrenWatching Linux distros (and yes, it is usually Debian packagers who act the most sanctimonious) shoot themselves in the face and then insult upstream AND the users of a popular package under the delusion that only the distro's self-declared experts are capable of making decisions is always a good reminder as to why you will never be able to waterboard me into using Linux as my primary desktop. Very sorry this is happening Team KeePassXC. https://fosstodon.org/@keepassxc/112417353193348720

Debian Users - Be aware the maintainer of the KeePassXC package for Debian has unilaterally decided to remove ALL features from it. You will need to switch to `keepassxc-full` to maintain capabilities once this lands outside of testing/sid.
counternotionsDOJ’s antitrust suit against Apple may read infuriatingly ignorant, inaccurate and ahistorical, but, above all, it’s an ideological frontal attack on the notion of integrated product/platform design…a death march to commodification and interchangeability. The rest is much noise.
Gui RamboTIL if you have your iPhone plugged into your Mac and you do an AirDrop transfer, it can actually use the wired connection, so for iPhone 15 Pro/Max if you use a really good USB-C cable, you can transfer several gigabytes over AirDrop really quickly. Just used this to transfer some videos from the Blackmagic Cam app. WireDrop? 😅
Jeff Triplett🤔I got asked about this yesterday from a neighbor, a teacher in our local school district.
Teacher: "Isn't AI 4 to 5 times faster/better at coding than the best developers?"
Me: "Isn't AI 4 to 5 times faster/better at teaching than the best teachers?”
(shocked/disgusted look on her face)
🤷 And that's one of the problems of AI. It seems better than you at something you know nothing about because you don't quite know well enough to call it out on its bullshit. https://toot.cafe/@baldur/112031199817039932

JFC, people in tech are really out there saying that language models will be better at therapy, financial advice, and career advice than trained people. WTF is wrong with you people? Do you really have no clue about what other people’s jobs actually involve? Language models can’t even do maths how are they supposed to get good at financial advice? And therapy? Just… 😑 What’s wrong with people in tech?
David SmithAnother fun thing about making visionOS widgets which are essentially mini-apps, I can have "super interactivity" way beyond what I could manage in iOS 17.
For example, here is the Photo Album widget, which has a subtle button on the edge which expands into an album browser and control panel. Then when you're done browsing minimize it to resume auto-play and just enjoy the photos.

Apple, once a leader in Scanning Message Apps for Child Pornographic images, now joins a Group to Protect Encryption over Children - Patently Apple
Apple, once a leader in Scanning Message Apps for Child Pornographic images, now joins a Group to Protect Encryption over Children — Patently Apple
On August 5, 2021 Patently Apple posted a report titled "Apple oddly forewarns child pornographers that their photos on iDevices will be scanned for illegal content starting this fall." Then Apple surprisingly reversed course under pressure. Today Apple and 80 other groups are against the U.K. government forcing tech companies to take responsibility and fight crimes against children.
@BasicAppleGuy As someone who works for the company, I seriously want this on a t-shirt!
