Tim Cook didn’t have to offer congratulations. None of them did, but least of all the head of a company that seemingly prides itself on its inclusivity and diversity.
I wonder what his employees make of it. His gay employees, and trans employees, and employees who are the children of immigrants.
That’s what I wonder.
Cool, you crack on using Twitter then.
I have no strawman. I had a wickerman, but, well, it’s awkward.
It’s not that weird, given that they’re both examples of Fediverse software that can (in theory, though not well in practice) interact with each other.
As for Masto being separate instances; I’ve never really had a problem with that. Follow a bunch of people from different servers and you’ll soon begin to federate and link up with other people.
I see folks posting on Mastodon, griping that it’s failing, that it’ll never be as popular as Bluesky and Threads because of X and Y, and I’m like, I’m over there chatting to people all day, having a fine time, following new people, picking up new followers, and generally enjoying it more than I ever really enjoyed Twitter.
I don’t really understand why those folks want it to be more than it is.
“Oh, but there are no journalists!”
Good? I don’t want endless ragebait posted in my feeds. I just wanna be chill, share music recommendations, and enjoy more people interacting with my radio show than ever did on Twitter.
I think you mean Jeb!
Fuckin’ nuclear power, man, how does that work?
Oh man, I’d love to hear Bill’s views on Fucker.
I wish the EU would pass a law making it so that all devices must be unlocked once they stop receiving software updates. How many perfectly usable devices are forced to fall by the wayside because the last supported OS can’t do anything useful. I would love to see a version of Linux running on old iPad hardware.
I couldn’t believe how long I could get out of my 15" M2 Air’s battery when playing No Man’s Sky. A good five hours of gameplay without needing to worry about plugging in. Meanwhile, my previous Intel MacBook struggled to get five hours on standby.
True. In the grand tradition of the internet I only responded to the headline.
More users that aren’t Americans talking about their politics would be nice.
The centre of that circle appears to be a tool shop. I don’t like what that might suggest…
Being told this time and time and time again has really fucked the male psyche over the years.
I have rainbow laces in my work boots and a rainbow lanyard for my office pass. Pretty sure the guys at work think I’m bi at the very least because they know I’m married to a woman.
Funny thing is, I kinda am. Fucked if I’m actually telling any of those cunts though.
You know this thing is tiny, right? It’ll be shockingly easy to pick up and press the button. Even with cables hanging out of it.
I use a 2014 mini with all cables hanging out the back, and it’s really easy to pick up.
It’s literally just the same body as the OG Magic Mouse, which had a bay for a pair of AAs underneath. All they did was remove the bay, put a rechargeable battery in there, and a socket to charge it. It takes a couple of minutes to give it 9 hours of juice.
There’s no grand conspiracy.
My MacBook has just two USB-C sockets. When I bought it I picked up a couple of A adapters on Amazon for a few quid each. It’s never been an issue. Even less so with a desktop, as you’re able to leave the adapters in all the time.
The power draw of these things when sleeping is negligible. They’re basically off, so there’s no real need to shut them down with any regularity.
I can use my MacBook for a whole day and still have half the battery left. Their power efficiency is genuinely remarkable.
Imagine what they’d charge for RAM and storage upgrades.
