If you are using Mastodon on a computer, you can optionally use it entirely through your keyboard using "hotkeys". There is a complete list of these keyboard shortcuts here:

➡️ fedi.tips/using-mastodon-throu…

You can see this list at any time by pressing Shift + ? (or just ? on some keyboard layouts).

Some of the shortcuts only work with the advanced multicolumn mode (more info about it: fedi.tips/how-to-activate-mast…) but most shortcuts work with single column mode too.

This Ars Technica article discusses just how much the rushed release of the new Sonos app will hurt their revenue, but I'm particularly impressed that their first example of its failures was "accessibility features", and that text links straight to @JonathanMosen’s blog post. I'm trying, but I just can't make myself feel too bad for them. And they still have to show they can actually get back on track.

I don't feel bad for them one little bit. Not only did they fail to do things properly, they doubled down and actively chose to ignore early user feedback. That failure is entirely on them and it was entirely preventable.
in reply to Jamie Teh

Still, as you say, the more important thing is where they go from here. To be fair to them, they've at least recognised the failure and are apparently putting other things on hold in order to resolve it.
in reply to Jamie Teh

@jcsteh yeah I recall the word brave, or something similar being used in response to feedback that this was going to be a problem. I hope they feel exceptionally good about their choices now

While some athletes have raved about the muffins and others have complained about the cardboard beds, some American Olympians are taking advantage of the free healthcare. Team USA rugby player Ariana Ramsey didn't just get a bronze medal in Paris — she's had a pap smear, X-ray, teeth cleaning, and an eye test. She's posted about this on TikTok, influenced other athletes in the Village to visit medical professionals, and now plans to fight for universal healthcare in the U.S. Here's more from Sports Illustrated.

New, by me: At least six companies were saved from having to pay hefty ransoms, thanks to rookie security bugs found in the web infrastructure used by the ransomware gangs themselves.

Security researcher Vangelis Stykas said he found simple security flaws in the web panels used by Mallox, BlackCat, and Everest ransomware gangs, which exposed victims' decryption keys and helped him to alert other companies before the criminals could strike.

there is no apparent trend in either count or rate over the time spanned by this data set; however, the cutoff below 150 uses may mean that we are looking entirely at outliers.

@zwol I was looking for something completely unrelated on Wikipedia, which then linked me to The Big Lebowski, which then linked me to that.

> Both the U.S. and China are major countries that use incarcerated workers and pay them pennies on the dollar, if at all. Legal advocates say prisoners in the U.S. are exploited and pressured to work, because convicts do not enjoy full protection of the country's employment laws. Prison labor in China is even less regulated.

Ya well. Couldn't have happened to a better group of people. The olde app was working fine.

App redesign blowback will cost Sonos up to $30 million, CEO says

Sonos is delaying two hardware releases because of the app's problems.

It could be a good excuse to keep the stock from sliding or some other undesirable consequence of something. :)
in reply to victor tsaran

@vick21 I think they're calculating opportunity cost for not introducing two new products on time. Unless the hardware and software teams are the same, this kinda doesn't make sense.
