I’m seeing a lot of praise for the Murderbot TV series, but after seeing two episodes, have so far found it lighter on humour and more creepy and ominous than the books (which, so far, remain better).

Anyone else?

We have a choice to make: How we compute matters

I accepted Apple’s behavior for far too long. And then, one day, I said nope. Nope. Nope. NOPE. On some level, at some point I began to care about how they, a profit seeking company, were treating me as a human being. I simply had to stop pretending that it was okay for them to treat me in such a way. And that it was in my best interest to stop cooperating. We do not...

Just got an email from #apple about podcasts with links to their #xitter, #TikTok and #facebook accounts. Seems so weak.

Why don't these other big tech players try to take down their competitors by promoting #ActivityPub? It would cost them nothing. Run a server etc. Promote it in their other products. Fund development just a little. They don't need to win, just weaken the other guys.

I was told this is how capitalism works :P

A brand new 68k Mac emulator quietly dropped last night!!

“Snow” can emulate the Mac 128k, 512k, Plus, SE, Classic, and II. It supports reading disks from bitstream and flux-floppy images, and offers full execution control and debugging features for the emulated CPU. Written using Rust, it doesn't do any ROM patching or system call interception, instead aiming for accurate hardware-level emulation.

(Edit: I'm not the author - just spotted this on the Emaculation forum and had to share it!)

(Edit #2: Snow's author, Thomas “twvd" has joined the Fediverse now! Give him a follow at @twvd 👋)

So macOS is preventing me from developing my app. The firewall isn't letting Gleam access local IP addresses even though I've allowed local network access for iTerm2 and ping works just fine. This security theatre feature is bullshit and I'm not sure how to reset it. beam.smp isn't shown in the network access permission dialog at all.

I just realized that today is the 24th anniversary of when I started the #Safari and #WebKit projects at #Apple. 🤦‍♀️ Which just goes to show how much my life has moved on and changed since leaving the Fruit Company over a dozen years ago. 🤷‍♀️

Dog almighty, I am old AF. But let's keep that fact between ourselves, OK? 😂

It's also @kocienda's birthday. Which is why I remembered this at all. Happy birthday, Ken! 💖

Online outrage over the Nintendo Switch 2’s price, terms and features was loud but meaningless, as record-breaking sales showed once again that internet backlash rarely reflects real consumer behavior. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/06/25/japan/nintendos-switch-2-secret/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #nintendo #switch2 #tiktok #youtube #influencers #apple #internet

I took a look at SAP’s open-source Power Monitor app and concluded that this is so useful and so simple it should be an operating system feature across Apple’s products.

If you value your freedom remember that YOU can control how you compute.

Do not comply.

"Dystopian worlds don't just pop into existence: they are built by the choices of those with substantial power, taking freedom from others. Free software has unlimited power for making our world actually better for people (not Big Tech), but we need to join together and ensure that freedom can thrive."

😂🤣😂 The #Trump brothers are launching a smartphone to prove to #Apple & #Google that you can build a “Made in #America 🇺🇸” phone—but they are having problems due to many electronic parts being made overseas.

Eagle-eyed product developer @parkerortolani spotted something in Apple's WWDC 2025 presentation: Mastodon. During designer Billy Sorrentino's section on visual intelligence, there's a clear shot of @ivory. "It was clearly both a way to subtly show developers what they can do with their own apps, but also read as a sort of endorsement of Mastodon as a social platform," Ortolani writes on his blog. "Apple didn’t show Bluesky, Threads, or X. They chose to show a third-party Mastodon client."
