I can't log into—not one—but two of my utility account websites via Chrome. I have to use Firefox. Not sure if it's a problem with the developers or with something with my Chrome security. Not a disaster, but is a microcosm the state of the web today... 😖

Re last boosted link, this allows you to play with the audio generation code of the Defender arcade game which, if you read the help page was way ahead of the time. Might as well also throw in this page, which is a similar concept but for the generation of Pokemon cries in gen 1 which also worked in a really interesting way. There's a video to go with this one that goes into more detail linked on the page ardean.github.io/pokemon-gen1-…

Hi, how are you? I would like to clarify a question but I couldn't find the answer through the app. What is the price of the monthly plan? The app says it's €3.60. How much would that cost converted to BRL? I am Brazilian

@Tutanota olá tudo bem com vocês? Gostaria de esclarecer uma dúvida porém não consegui a resposta pelo aplicativo qual o valor do plano mensal ? Lá no app diz que é €3,60 quanto ficaria esse valor convertido em BRL ?

One of the top things I wish Apple trained all their UX designers on: do not show obvious, modal feedback telling me the result of something I just triggered is the expected one.

For example, control-click on a video on Messages and choosing “Add to Photos Library" shows a confirmation dialog saying this will make the video available on Photos on all my devices.

I know, that's what I just told it to do… and since it's something non destructive and easy to reverse, why the confirmation?

I thought I understood the extent to which the broad availability of mobile location data has exacerbated countless privacy and security challenges. That is, until I was invited along with four other publications to be a virtual observer in a 2-week test run of Babel Street, a service that lets users draw a digital polygon around nearly any location on a map of the world, and view a time-lapse history of the mobile devices seen coming in and out of the area.

The issue isn't that there's some dodgy company offering this as a poorly-vetted service: It's that *anyone* willing to spend a little money can now build this capability themselves.

I'll be updating this story with links to reporting from other publications also invited, including 404 Media, Haaretz, NOTUS, and The New York Times. All of these stories will make clear that mobile location data is set to massively complicate several hot-button issues, from the tracking of suspected illegal immigrants or women seeking abortions, to harassing public servants who are already in the crosshairs over baseless conspiracy theories and increasingly hostile political rhetoric against government employees.

Each red dot in this Babel Street map represents a unique mobile device that has been seen since April 2022 at a Jewish synagogue in Los Angeles, Calif. The nearly square building has only a few spots inside that aren't completely covered in red dots.

Question to those #blind folks who have used the new Braille screen input of #iOS 18 on an iPad: Is there a different way to calibrate one's finger positions on iPad? I just got a new iPad Mini, and in both table top and away modes, the expected finger positions are so wide spread by default, that my hands barely manage to type anything cohesive. But putting first dots 4 5 6 and then dots 1 2 3 on the screen like it works on iPhone, doesn't result in the calibration of the finger positions. So, any trick I am unaware of?

The calibration for iPad was quickly tapping all six dots twice. I don't know if iOS 18 changed this, but give that a shot.

@alexhall Yep, that worked like a charm. You can also double-tap on the left and right edge of the iPad when in portrait mode to turn BSI on, don’t have to change to the top and bottom edges. Nice!

Yeah, keep on pressing 123, then 456 super fast, it'll make a sound and calibrate. and yes, they will move more with time than they would on the iPhone, and you'd have to do this more often.

I found a very odd Google search bug/misfeature on android: I've somehow gotten stuck in Brown Mode.

It happens in both Firefox and Chrome, and as long as I'm signed into my account, it's brown.

Looks like 27254 hosts are unreachable via my.to, because DNS FreeDNS records return 0.0.0.0. Just another delightful afternoon 😀

Some apps at #IzzyOnDroid would need verification if they still work. Aholic Gino started a list for that, most of them were already covered – but we'd need help covering the remains (just install, see if they work and are useful, report back either in the issue or as reply to this toot).

Any volunteers here on the Fedi? :awesome:

Here’s the server that’s been running my two #fediverse instances and #Hugo blog for the past two years.

It’s a low-power Intel NUC with a Celeron processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a 500 GB SSD. The entire setup lives under my printer and cost less than $300.

Bandwidth demands are modest—just a few gigs weekly. No fancy tunneling involved either. It’s just a straightforward router setup forwarding a couple of ports, a script that updates the server’s IP with my registrar as needed, and a robust Fail2ban rule set to keep things a bit secure.

No more corporate social networks and VPSes!

* they have never had a pet
* no mother's maiden name, no mother: they have two fathers, neither of who changed their name.
* they were homeschooled, so no high-schools and first grade teachers (arguable)
* they've never been on vacation
* they are not into music, so they have no favorite band.
* they haven't dated anyone
* they're colorblind so no favorite color
* they didn't go to college
* they don't drive

Wholeheartedly agree with @pluralistic 's plea to use #RSS, my favourite RSS application is in fact @AntennaPod for podcasts.

Slightly embarrassed to admit I don't really understand how it works, which suggests that vast majority of people don't know it even exists ...

The program you use to download podcasts, whether that is Apple Podcasts, Antennapod, or something else, is an RSS reader.

Podcasts are structured as attachments inside of an RSS feed. The way you listen to a podcast is by downloading and playing an MP3 (streaming is just a form of downloading).

It is downloaded to your device by your podcast app.

The way the podcast app finds those MP3 files is by loading and parsing an RSS feed.

I guess the prophecy I made about feeling better wasn't self-fulfiling. Damn it. Also, I blew my nose and my left ear just sort of made this squeak sound and screwed up my hearing. Balance is off, it sounds like everything comes from the right. It's not as bad as when I went to sleep. Anyone have any tips for fixing it? I have tried yawning obviously, and chewing, and all the tips for getting water out of your ear, but nothing's working so far. At least the fever is still gone, and I do feel somewhat better, but not as much as I was hoping.
