Apple Pencil Pro's squeeze menu doesn't work well left handed. The hit-box doesn't include half of the color or kebob buttons, so those just close the menu. Was hoping to find a solution, just found more reports...

Apple Pencil Pro : Squeeze "Tool Palette"… - Apple Community

Hiya! I'm a programmer looking for full-time work in the SF Bay Area (or remote!)
I'm primarily a Python dev, but I've got significant experience in Java, C#, C++/C, Ruby, and JS.

I've focused a lot on Continuous Integration in recent years but I've got experience with in-house tool development, embedded software, back-end server stuff, and UI/Web/HIL test automation.
I've a lot of experience in digitization/archival work.

Thanks! #getFediHired

I think MS are a way off extracting themselves from Recall situation they've got themselves into.

This is just one YouTube comments section on a video since the not-enabled-by-default change - 500k views - but there's loads more, similar on TikTok.

I imagine it's going to continue through week and into next week when the laptops ship.

I have heard rumblings MS are discussing trying to take action against me over the whole thing, which a) good luck and b) would be pouring petrol on the flames.

Ok, so the company I work for, PDQ.com, is hiring for an app sec engineer! I’m sharing the link to the posting here because I think the mastodon community here is likely a great place to find a great coworker. Come work with me!

US Senator Bernie Sanders has said that he will introduce an amendment to a foreign aid supplemental package that would cut $10.1bn in offensive weaponry funding for Israel.

The U.S. must end its complicity in the nightmare unfolding in Gaza. That is why I will be offering an amendment to the supplemental bill to ensure zero funding for the continuation of Netanyahu’s illegal, immoral war against the Palestinian people.

Since Bill Ackman and his followers have so many questions about how Wikipedia works now that his wife has been accused of plagiarizing from it, I figured I'd help him out.

For anyone who's into APRS, I've been working on a modern alternative called CATS for a few months: https://cats.radio/

It cleans up the bloat in the protocol. Packets are modular, consisting of whiskers, which can be mixed and matched depending on what you want to convey in your packet.

Everything from the physical layer up has been completely revamped. We're running raw FSK for a massive 12dB coding gain over AFSK. Modern commercial transceiver chips makes it economical to do everything in FSK. These didn't exist when APRS was first developed.

We're also using LDPC for forward error correction, and have boosted the data rate from 1200 baud (APRS) to 9600 baud.

I've developed reference implementations of a Raspberry Pi I-Gate and mobile transceiver. Both are fully FOSS, and I'll also be selling units fairly shortly for $24 USD and $49 USD respectively.

But that's all just a summary. I highly recommend checking out our site for more information! https://cats.radio
