Eivind (like the Terrible) ✨Four bendy buses managed to enter a roundabout at the exact same time from four different directions in Oslo yesterday afternoon and get properly stuck, each bus blocking the exit for the one behind it. #BigBusStuck

@daringfireball It just drives me nuts that BlueSky and Mastodon—two social networks built around open protocols that are supposed to allow platforms to talk to each other—can't talk to each other!
(There's a bridge, but individual users need to opt in to it, so it's useless in practice.)
@kytta Oops, indeed you did, I misread your post somehow!
@dgi I don't honestly think I have an opinion on what is better, but there should be _a_ system and it should be consistent. On Mac, you used to always know that the Preferences for an app were in the menu bar under `App Name` → `Preferences`. Traditionally, most apps didn't even _have_ panes in System Preferences, those were for overall system settings and not attached to any one application.
The problem with iOS is that there is no universal system for where to find an app's settings.
@kytta @dgi @gruber I actually thought it was the other way around? Apple guidance in very early iOS (version 2 and 3 or so) was that you should put Settings in the Settings app—but some developers ignored them. I very much thought this made sense at the time because (A) settings had very little inside of it back then, so things were easy to find, and (B) the screen was so small, so keeping settings outside of the app itself made for simpler software.
@lapcatsoftware Hot take: There is a version of Linux that did those things and took off as a result. It's called "Android." Because it was successful, people don't think of it as "Linux" anymore.
@Gargron I think this should have a "don't ask me again" checkbox or similar. A lot of people likely aren't going to find the option in Preferences.
Missing The PointBreaking: In a stinging outmaneuver of Trump, Canada buys Greenland from Denmark. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen: “They made an exploding, all-cash offer with no inspection contingency, we really had no choice.”
@cat ...I don't find this one cute, I find it mean. Why would you do that to the poor cat? :(
@saagar What does this say about the design agency's ability to say no to bad ideas?
