I know coffee roast levels are arbitrary and aren’t standardized between roasters or whatever,,, but I do love this “three spiders = medium” scale

@cancel @aks so, yes that’s ridiculous and I wonder the same thing. and I also wonder if Apple devs over-rely on APFS de-duplicating file blobs to make copying files “free”

I haven't watched the Doctor Who special (or much Who since ~Matt Smith) but I've heard progressives online complaining that the special is too on-the-nose with its messaging on Trans rights. Which makes me chuckle for a few reasons.First, I remember how gay the new Who was when it restarted. I'm surprised anyone is surprised that Doctor Who might be didactic about sexuality or gender.

Second, progressives are the only ones who care if media supporting their cause is on-the-nose or cringe. Conservative media has been all "rogue cops are the only thing that will save society" for fifty years and no one on the right has said "HMMM but isn't this CRINGE?"

Now again, I haven't seen the special, but I don't care if David Tennant literally faces the camera and says "I, The Doctor, support Trans rights unequivocally. I vehemently oppose the growing oppression of Trans people in the UK specifically, and worldwide." I still wouldn't complain about it being on the nose. That would be awesome.

The people who insist that either pronunciation of “gif” is acceptable are WAY worse than those who actually pronounce it wrong. Cowards!

I recently started using iOS Shortcuts automations, which I like, but now I wake up to these alerts everyday. Is there a way to disable these? I haven’t been able to find one.

Between this and macOS permissions prompts, I dunno… I want my computers to trust me more as a user. Verify, sure, but trust.

I’m finally watching this show, and it IS as amazing as everyone says. Please no spoilers, I’m having fun with a low stakes plot.

So I get to the end of the first episode, and the Baron shows up. “Oh! A weird little guy in full-body prosthetic makeup, I wonder if that’s Doug Jones?” And it was! Fun fun.

“The Wirecutter” but it’s just for telling you if a product comes with a sticker that’s hard to remove.

Oh, we all know the types of stickers. The awful paper sticker that leaves most of itself behind 🤮 The better sticker that still leaves adhesive residue 😡 The best sticker that comes off in one piece and leaves no trace 💆♂️

I swear, if Android developer tools were even 5% as actively hostile to developers as Xcode, there would be a riot.

Oh, I can’t disable “connect via network?” for my device? They show a checkbox but it’s greyed out and I can’t uncheck it? And letting us disable it “isn’t possible given Xcode’s architecture”? Cool. Cool cool cool cool. Cool.

Love being a React Native developer so I don’t have to deal with this nonsense day-to-day (I have to deal with different nonsense instead, but at least I have access to my tools’ source code, so).

After some resistance (futile!), the Star Trek shitposting groups I’m in have bought in to the elf-on-the-shelf parody memes and I love it. Except this one ended with a debate on if a jetty can be a dock (it totally can, right?)
