Yeeeeeow!

@neven That's a cool article on its own merits, but something about the generous header graphic made me think to share it with you.

A new iOS update is now available. Please update from the iOS 12 beta.

ME: *buys a printer from Amazon*

AMAZON: 'eyyyy, it's Printer Guy! How ya doin', Printy McPrinter-Guy? So I was walking' through my inventory, see, and who crossed yours truly's mind but our ol' pal Printer Guy, and lo a behold you won't believe the deals on these printers! Seriously, don't tell my boss or 'e might [drawing finger across his neck] show me the door. We know how to keep secrets, don't we, Printer McPrinterFaceGuy? But check out these printers! How many do you wanna buy?

"boosted toots"

Hot take: third party apps should **not** try to mimic the appearance of the AirPods / HomePod setup modal (floating card). Why? Because your app should not present stuff that looks like it's coming from the OS.

What’s a good podcast you can listen to without being tempted to pay attention to what they’re saying?

I’m confident there will never be a World War III, because they’re probably just gonna do a remake of World War I.

Mastodon's Direct Message implementation is unacceptable. Can I speak to a manager? It's astonishingly easy to make a mistake and send a message into the wrong place.

If you'd like to help beta test an iOS 12 update for ’sodes, my podcast player, lemme know (DM me a Test Flight email). It has two new features that need some vetting: CarPlay and Siri Shortcuts.

Walking at dusk around the neighborhood with the dog on a leash and Henry, who is five, on a scooter. Henry wasn’t keeping up. I turned and saw Henry pawing at his crotch.

“What’s wrong, Henry?”

“MORNING WOOD!” he shouted for all to hear.

“No Henry!” I hissed.

“Oh, you’re right,” he replied. “NIGHT WOOD!”

If you write a Mastodon client do you have to actually use words like “boost” in the in-app copy? The nomenclature here is gross.

Thinking about bringing Riposte back. The biggest problem is the name. We got cease-and-desisted by some assholes in an unrelated line of business. But I don’t want to lose the big “R” logo. Hmmm.

I saw this ad at the airport in Indianapolis some years back. I really want to believe that this place was the inspiration behind “Entertainment 7twenty” on Parks & Rec.
