I love to talk about Apple, I love Star Trek, Star Wars & most things comic books.
I'll be posting about #Apple #InterestingTechnology #StarTrek #StarWars #Marvel #DisneyWorld and, sometimes, #DC. I won't be posting about politics, but at times I might boost others that do.

Professor Kathy Gill... attempted to share that story on Twitter... She received a message saying “Tweet not sent”... she “appealed” to Twitter, noting that it was just a link to the story... [and] her account was suspended permanently.

Gentle reminder: there are many blind and partially sighted users on the fediverse, and alt text is important for accessibility. It's becoming more and more commonplace that people won't boost toots with media that's either undescribed or lacking in a call for help with the alt text.
I have a guide here on how to write alt text, a bot you can follow if you keep forgetting, and options for asking for help with alt text:

NetNewsWire 6.1.2 for Mac is out — you can do a check for updates or download it directly. NetNewsWire 6.1.2 for iOS is available via the App Store, though it may take a few hours to propagate.

Also, the iOS app icon now gets the same cool golden wings that the Mac app has.
Hey #MastoAdmins, I’ve had this same error show up in my dead jobs for a while and I just can’t figure out why it’s happening:
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: PG::UndefinedFile: ERROR: could not load library "/usr/lib/postgresql/15/lib/llvmjit.so": libz3.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The library file is indeed there and everything seems in order. Any suggestions?
