When the dynamic island on iPhone is telling me I have 10 percent battery remaining (and often preventing me from opening the app switcher at the same time for some reason), it has a VoiceOver action named "Collapse." This action doesn't actually seem to do anything.
Is there a consistent way, other than waiting, to tell the island that I get it and would now like it to get out of my face?

From January 20th, 2026, #books released through #Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) without #DRM will be downloadable as #EPUB or #PDF for users who have purchased them. It will also be possible for no-DRM status to be toggled for existing #ebooks.
It remains to be seen how many #authors and publishers will take advantage of this, whether the files will be watermarked, and if the feature will be available for non-KDP titles.

@Friendica Support hello, may i pls get some help on this query about #Circles ?
i have sub-divided my list of follows & followers into several Circles. one of these is for all my followed #newsbots. i have found to my chagrin that a basic design feature of #Friendica is working against me here. atm, if i read a particular newsbot's post whilst in my "Bot" circle, then decide to quote-boost / quote-share it, with some pertinent commentary by me, it's a complete waste of time... the default Friendica permissions / visibility feature makes my resultant post "Locked", ie visible only to members of this circle, ie, a heap of bots. no actual human will ever see it.
[how] can i avoid this? how can i manually allow any/all posts / replies / boosts / shares that i do from this circle, be visible across all the fediverse?
when circles comprise actual human accounts, this baked-in Friendica privacy concept makes sense. it is however actively unhelpful, indeed plain obstructive, for the specific case of a bot circle.
thx.

As you asked than, before changing the nomen clature @Michael 🇺🇦, using it now it seems that that was actually a good choice.

Unregulated #AI is worse than useless, part infinity: "Google AI gave false tsunami information after Aomori quake"
asahi.com/ajw/articles/1621411…
#Japan #Earthquake #Tsunami #NoAI
In the hours following the recent earthquake off the north-eastern coast of Japan, Google's #AI "displayed outdated information and wrong answers, including the wrong magnitude of the earthquake."
"False information must not be displayed -- even once -- in the field of disaster response, where lives are at stake"

@thunderbird I love your work, but pushing this tab into Thunderbird, causing Thunderbird to pop in front of my current meeting window while I’m presenting and have to then scramble to close it and get my notes visible again, is _utterly_ unacceptable.
You gotta find a better way.

Just seen somewhere on the internet:
Person 1: I want to use OpenVPN.
persons 2, 3 and 4: You *really* should use Wireguard. It's more secure, way faster, and easier to deploy. Pretty much everyone has dropped it in favor of Wireguard. Here are a bunch of valid reasons why you shouldn't use OpenVPN in favor of Wireguard, with resources explaining things in great detail in ways that are easy to understand.
Person 1: Yeah, cool. But I'm going to deploy OpenVPN anyway.
Sometime later, in a completely differenct place:
Person 1: I have just deployed a new self-hosted OpenVPN. Wow, this is really slow and kind of annoying to deal with.
Persons 5, 6 and 7: You should have used Wireguard.

in speaking with my colleagues at @delta i began to test multi-transport (multi-relay) functionality.
early testing looks very good on android, just now we wait until all client engineers bring core library into parity.
we are close to being unstoppable.
now is an amazing time to try #deltachat

Everything Trump does is a metaphor. He knows only how to destroy, not to build.
Destroy the East Wing with no new design or blueprint.
Destroy US healthcare without having a replacement.
Destroy the US economy without having a fix.
Destroy FEMA with no plan for emergency response.
Destroy environmental regulations without any new protections.
Me: how do I get this text off of this FreeBSD 4.11 VM ? It's too old for me to ssh to it, it doesn't have netcat, and I can't install any software very easily at the moment

The most *chef's kiss* part of this story is when Instacart says it's the stores that set the prices and then the stores point the finger right back at Instacart and say they don't set the prices on the platform.

Hey! Movim just introduced chat shortcuts in the navigation bar 👌
When you are mentioned in a chatroom or when a contact sends you a message Movim now displays a direct shortcut to the latest conversations allowing you to go to the related discussion in one click! How convenient! 😸
You can already try it out on mov.im/ or wait for the next stable release ✨
