>/System/Volumes/Data/net exists.Hmmmmm... can't get killed for trying. . .>automount: /System/Volumes/Data/net mounted (/net -> /System/Volumes/Data/net)Uh...>"cd /net/drum" worked and my data is there.I'm reminded of that Star Trek Next Generation episode where they ran into an anomaly which was a feedback loop that their shields made worse(until Apple arbitrarily breaks it, I consider it "fixed")

@izaya the SSV is a read-only APFS filesystem, it looks like. "/" is a mounted read-write snapshot of that.

I have no idea what an "audio worklet" is or why it's importantI also am prepared to dig a fallout shelter for when Wayland finally replaces X and I can't run important software like xscreensaver anymore(god please please please don't make me logout or make me "lock" a screen that can be unlocked by holding Enter for 8 seconds)

pretty sure any issue I might have with Epic Games Store can be (re)solved by... not using Epic Games Store.

now see I don't know much javascript beyond the basic standard flow controls (and I'd say order of operations, but coercion darkened that doorstep), but...This "GETTR" thing is bad. "Worse than Parler" bad.https://twitter.com/CoolApps45/status/1410721924993323008

@trickster it's almost as if the chart was completely backwards, since it's now obvious that USA wasn't even 16.5% prepared

@twitter banks seriously had restrictions on the length of the password at one point. At 8!Other financial institutions permitted up to 10, but made the acceptable chars A-Z, a-z, and 0-9.They clearly don't care if their plebian customers get hacked; they've already nickel-and-dimed them to death so there shouldn't be any extra money to steal by then

1950: the first software goes under maintenance.1960: some programmers wonder when the exponentially-decreasing performance of software will stop.1970: we need more core, more disk, more offline storage, more more more.1981: oh... LISA will need a hard drive just to boot. Only $3500 for 5MB!1990: just throw more RAM and hard drive at the performance problem.2000: EVERYTHING IS C++ OH MY2010-: try hiding resource issues caused by bad software practices any old way you can.

In reality, your computing from 2011 could easily run today's software if we hadn't bought the myth that developer time optimizing software wasn't worth the effortExecutives of companies responsible for shifting product took it as a challenge to see how tightly they could crank that refresh cycle, so it's why we stupidly upgrade our fashion statements yearly (though that has little to do with poor software and more to do with greed and stupidity).

@twitter if anything, defense attorneys need *more* resourceseveryone knows the prosecution is cool with a public defender only having 7 minutes with their assigned client

@zorinlynx the eSIM thing is so bad that I had to TELL T-Mobile that my iPad had eSIM and that "when I put in physical SIM, I suddenly had TWO T-Mobiles onscreen"They put physical SIM on my iPhone 12 mini even though I'm sure that has eSIM too.I still think anything with cellular connectivity should keep the capability to use physical SIM, for the obvious reasons.

@izaya @zorinlynx pretty sure Apple will tout that as an important advancement despite its competition having this since 2010 ;o)

good lord why can't device OEMs just make a slightly thicker phoneI'm certain I'm not the only one who isn't like "gee, this phone is really thin, but I wish it were more 2D"Let us engineer phones that work right and don't need baloney compromises like the lack of a headphone jack, or a smaller battery.

Outlook needs "Engineer settings", where you don't auto-capitalize the first letter of a sentence, and you don't correct TWo INitial CAps (because yes, "reth0" and "IPs" get dropped in email often if you're dealing with this stuff)Or better yet, let us use a mail client that doesn't make us look like goobers.

Peripherally related: Outlook using Word as the email editor was, in my opinion, one of the WORST choices made by Microsoft. It was most likely the choice that weaponized Outlook as a virus vectorConversely, I'm loath to blame HTML email on MS. It was most likely a decision that was made for them by end users.

Speedtest: today's version of the Megahertz race of the 1980sReally... there's some guy out there moaning that his "120 megabyte/sec internet" is slow. (pretty sure it's a typo and they meant "bits", but still...)I certainly wouldn't trust a speed test to show how fast things are. I'd just use it and let that experience tell me how "fast" it is.
