Pojutrze wybory. Nie angażuję się zwykle w poważny sposób na tematy polityczne poprzez swoje social media, ale dziś zrobię od tego wyjątek, na jeden post. Wybaczcie mi.

Mam do was, konkretnie do tych spośród was którzy nie chcą iść głosować w drugiej turze wyborów prezydenckich, bo nie odpowiada wam żaden z zaproponowanych kandydatów, jedną prośbę. Zanim postanowicie tę niedzielę przespać, spójrzcie na swoich przyjaciól ze Stanów Zjednoczonych. Czy są oni ostatecznie zadowoleni z tego, że wielu spośród nich pokazalo "moralną wyższość", nie głosując na "mniejsze zło"? Czy też może patrzą nerwowo na coraz to nowe decyzje i wypowiedzi ich prezydenta?

Wszystkie sondaże pokazują, że wygrać może którykolwiek kandydat. Różnica jest zasadniczo poniżej błędu statystycznego. Wszystko, nawet pogoda; każdy, nawet wy, może ostatecznie zmienić wynik tych wyborów.

Na stole opcje są tylko dwie. Któraś z nich musi wygrać, innej drogi nie ma. Ja już zdecydowałem. Mam nadzieję, że zrobicie to i wy.

Do zobaczenia w niedzielę przy urnach.

I am so tired of companies believing their APP is the center of everyone's world. Get it into your heads: your app is a TOOL. Like a screwdriver. That, in this particular case, I would like to use to adjust levels of my microphone interface.

I don't want a "better experience", and I don't care about your "new app". You are overhead. Cost. Drag.

Watching Microsoft’s robots telling Microsoft’s other robots that they need to agree to Microsoft CLAs in between Microsoft’s developers begging Microsoft’s robots to actually understand the problems they’re trying to fix in Microsoft's platform code on Microsoft's version-control website is kind of amazing.

This is definitely the future Terry Gilliam promised us.

SHAKE IT BABY

1,000,000 votes out of 1,000,000 needed for the EU citizens initiative calling for a conversion therapy ban

It is 7 AM CEST. The EU citizen initiative calling for a ban on "conversion therapy" (here meaning, pseudoscientific attempts to "cure" LGBTQs) is less than 250,000 votes from success. This is astounding, the votes have like, *tripled* in a week.

The page says voting ends "May 17", and I wish I knew if that meant "at midnight tonight" or "midnight tomorrow" or what. Uh. Do you know

Germany is ~6,000 local votes from endorsing it. Are there 6,000 Germans on this website

(sorry for the ping everyone, I had to correct the incorrect autocorrect in the alt text)
@Mabande I will never complain about improvements 
@Mabande is this about accidentally taking double doses of magnesium?
@Mabande
I wonder which adult novelty store sells this product.🤔
@Mabande What’s that smell?
@Mabande well I mean it's true
@Mabande Wonderful, now Apple can disrupt the function of my lower digestive tract.
@Mabande the liquid ass is fucking real no fucking way
@Mabande aw man I looked for the video and now it has a different thumbnail and comments turned off
@Mabande after hundreds of lab deaths, materials science has mastered the total proportional condensation of gaseous ass
@johnefrancis @Mabande Many Bothans died to bring us 'dat ass.

@isocat Well, ackchually…

@Mabande Apple didn't invent Liquid Ass. It was available when Apple were still selling the ][+ , and still is (viz my link).

…is what I meant.

🤓

@Mabande @isocat They changed it pretty fast. If you load this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzQyFw_n9l4 you get a second of it before the block message comes up.

Also (sorry about the X link in advance) this was the thumbnail for the official apple link before they changed it https://x.com/GripAzeem/status/1932154213515088088

Introducing Liquid Glass | Apple

@tony @Mabande @isocat Wow, it happens also inside Mastodon 🤣
@isocat @Mabande I have personally bought this version for use at work.
@diggerbatedog @Mabande There's…like…somewhere else one might use it?
@Mabande it is, however, an accurate thumbnail
@Mabande @troublewithwords finally Apple's making something for those of us who have eaten too much cheese.
@Mabande My wife said "sounds like what I had a couple of weeks ago" (food poisoning)
@Mabande i had that after eating “moules” in France
@Mabande the actual "liquid ass" product is quite literally the worst thing I have ever smelled in my life, including putrefaction and rotting flesh
@Mabande It's enough to give you the runs.
@trwnh Luckily I'm working solo today, cause the snort laugh I just released upon the world? Oh, man :D
@Mabande Same energy as this trash can at a tech marketing convention I found in 2016
@Mabande remember the "biggest" iphone presentation video where they had to force the subtitles on because people kept hearing the n-word?
Bookmarked for later!
@Mabande Caption: A youtube screenshot of a new Apple Product called "Liquid Glass" where the youtube logo govers the G and L, turning it into "Liquid Ass"
@KarlHeinzHasliP Thanks, but the image info is already in the Alt text (which I now see is a bit mangled by autocorrect) :)
@Mabande hu, strange, didn't show up for me... my end problem. Love the screenshot and glad apple is showing its real potential as innovator after all this time though :)
@Mabande reminds me of that one os of theirs that had "there's more to love with every click" as its tagline and... some bad kerning.
@Mabande
I have since found out it was OS X El Capitan, but I can't find a screenshot (only of the fixed text, which is less amusing). Maybe I could dig through the wayback machine...
@Mabande honestly, after seeing the screenshots of macOS “26” I think it’s not far off.
@Mabande That’s a bit too close to home for my liking!
@Mabande @sennoma I get that from time to time. Imodium is your friend here.
@sennoma @Mabande lol. Is it though? In 2025 one might suggest that this is NEI (not enough information)
@Mabande
This was not an oversight, but a deliberate act of protest by the last designer left at Apple.
@Mabande Unrelated, but I tried to press the Youtube button to play the video itself like a dumbass ​
@radmin We've all been there, friend :)
@Mabande
Man, that's the sh!ts
