Little bit of column A, little bit of column B.

The irony isn’t lost on me!

Most likely an unpopular opinion, but I took this opportunity to try something new and make the switch to macOS at home as my daily device. If I do end up gaming, I’ll probably just get myself a Steam Deck.

I certainly appreciate the innovation in an era of reiteration.

Russ (Retro Game Corps) was so confident with his CEMU video he didn’t think he’d be a target despite everyone in the comments saying otherwise.

[…] so why were only Apple phones affected?

The answer, it seems, is because Apple recently defected from traditional quartz-based clocks in its phones in favor of clocks that are also made of MEMS silicon. Given that clocks are the most critical device in any computer and are necessary to make the CPU function, their disruption with helium atoms is enough to crash the device.

In this case, the leaking helium from the MRI machine infiltrated the iPhones like a “tiny grain of sand” and caused the MEMS clocks to go haywire.

Tooting the way you’d toot a horn/trumpet, or in this case an elephant trunk.

I do vaguely remember that. Could be?

I can definitely follow his logic, but there are better tools available.

I can follow and see content from both accounts via the Ice Cubes app.

EDIT: I just realized you can’t see the posts in your timeline. I can only see as far as 2 days ago via my app, so unless you’re able to post an image more recent I can’t help out. Sorry!

I have a friend that I’ve tried to convince using a notes app, but he swears that emailing himself notes and to-do lists is more effective. He’s wrong, but to each their own.

I guess this ties into marketing, but I think rebranding the “fediverse” as the “social web” would be a good start. It has a broad neutral tone that I think is easier for regular people to latch on to.

I use it on occasion between Mastodon and Bluesky. My initial reaction was that I needed to organize my follows better so content wasn’t duplicating in the merged feed.

That’s a great point. Here’s the Mastodon donation link in case anyone was interested!

I think I could get behind an instance subscription, granted it wasn’t an obscene amount. I wonder what the upkeep on mastodon.social could be.

So basically sign-in with Google?

The government could control social media on their own instance, sure.

I think having government accounts come from an official instance would garner more trust in the platform.

The map is impressive, yes, but that Lego storage area at the end 🤌🤌

Maybe next year we could reserve the center of the canvas to a fediverse logo to distinguish it from other canvas-like projects.

I’m interested, but that added shipping cost is not appealing.
