       @georgetakei Back tap uses the accelerometer to detect the taps. Which means back tap works anywhere on the back. And the way it works makes it so side and front taps don’t trigger it (accelerometer can detect direction of taps).So yeah, apple logo isn’t a button, sensor, or anything. It’s just an apple logo.#Apple #Accessibility #BackTap

       It’s worth reminding everyone that various US agencies recommend running adblock for user safety.Not to block annoying ads.To avoid malicious ads.#AdBlock

       It’s baffling that, at least for some years now, there has been request to Apple for the Apple TV 4K to either support decoding TrueHD Atmos or to support passthrough of the source streams. The only reason that seems to come up as to why Apple won’t do this is no streaming services require it as none of them use TrueHD at all. The TV device doesn’t even need to support the decode, hardware nor software, if I have outputs that support it, though, if Apple would just allow passthrough!

       This really echoes my concerns. I even posted similar sentiments in r/KiaNiroEV when discussing CCS adapters.https://toad.social/@KimPerales/112366832980906125

       I’ve had to postpone my change request twice now because of debates about it.They’re not trusting the expert.So it may not even happen this week. If it doesn’t get approved for tomorrow…well I don’t do Friday changes.

       It's likely the reason is different than speculated. As one reply noted, it could be a regional block or something else.But the simple fact of the matter is Hetzner is using a catch-all for it and providing no other information. And that, in and of itself, is a problem.If you put anything mission critical on Hetzner, this should inform you that they will, without hesitation, kill it, with no recourse nor recovery, and without prior warning.#Hetznerhttps://ursal.zone/@Ursalzona/112259839960115911

       @stux I hate that this even has to be stipulated. That there are people that struggle with the idea that both are true (Hamas and Netanyahu are terrorists).

       If you are a smaller creator that uses Photoshop and are distraught over the new license agreement, might I point you towards Krita:https://krita.org/en/#Adobe #Photoshop #Krita

       So Progress Residential uses DocuSign to electronically sign leases.DocuSign does this thing where you click a place to "sign" and it moves the document to the next place to "sign” skipping anything in between.This discourages reading the lease terms. Every time I clicked, I had to scroll back up to read the bits just zoomed past.This is not just a dark pattern. I'm curious if this might even be legal, since I'm signing legal paperwork. Like, is the potential garbage in the lease enforceable if the platform itself skipped that stuff?I know click-through agreements have been challenged in courts various times, often failing. This one seems to actually actively discourage reading the terms.#DocuSign #Legal #Contract

       There’s another Harris Walz sign down the street from me.We’re multiplying!I also saw a sign for a democrat county commissioner, so that’s also promising.I’m not sure if I had any influence on this, to show the support in such a red area. If I did, it makes me happy that it’s spreading.Hopefully my Colin Allred sign shows up soon!https://vote.gov#USpol #TXpol #Vote #HarrisWalz #President #USPresident #VicePresident #KamalaHarris #TimWalz

       @stux Oh wow. I guess this isn’t surprising after collabing with the Prime guys with their not actually better lunchables. But wow. The scams continue.I’ve made the personal choice to not buy youtuber merch. Because it seems like, eventually, they all have some jacked up controversy. They get my Youtube Premium views, that’s enough for me.

       @stux The argument that GenAI makes someone able to make art is so bad. The person never makes the art.Writing a prompt for AI art generation is no different than writing a message to a human artist. But instead of having a human hand make the art, a computer uses stolen content to generate it.So not only does AI art use stolen human made art, it steals opportunities from human artists. It doesn’t make a person an artist.

       “It’s just another flu”I’m sure many have heard this about covid. And we are watching a new variant spread like wildfire right now with more intense symptoms and higher rates of sudden respiratory failure.But let’s talk about the flu.This is, ultimately, what took my dad. This is why I fucking hate this ideology.“It’s just the flu” fuck off with that.Wear a fucking mask. Get vaxed. It’s not hard.#COVID19 #Covid #XEC #CovidIsNotOver

       @jeff There’s not many platforms for discovering independent makers and sellers, unfortunately. I know one of them I was looking for has her own website. Another one I was looking to buy from is “powered by etsy” though.It sucks how much these platforms are just so bad.
