Some multimillionaire VP at Apple has decided that the best thing for the company, one of the biggest in the world, to do is introduce a new 30% tax on struggling artists and creators who have no business or professional relationship with it in the first place

#Apple didn't advertise it, but #macOSSequoia introduces #Xbox360 #emulation as an unexpected new ability for #Mac systems thanks to #AVX2 support.

I used streamdiffusion to make an image placeholder generator

Just change the file name and a new #ai #generated image is created on demand with that prompt

@stroughtonsmith @gruber I kinda understand. 30% App Store seems onerous, and this is the first real leverage app devs have had over Apple to try and change it

Hope they work it out…

We also plan to make it so replies from people in the Fediverse can show up for people posting from Threads to the Fediverse. It's a bad experience now that I have to leave the Threads app to see replies I'm getting from the broader community.

It's looking increasingly likely that the Central Park was attacked by BOTH Somali pirates by boat AND Yemini anti-ship missiles launched from Houthi controlled land.

Which would explain the odd location of the attack I noted above..

Sounds more likely that these duling attacks were a coincident but shows how unfriendly the region is becoming towards Israeli shipping in general.

@jbigham beginning of the beginning

Seems like the weirdness is coming from the VC crowd, and they’re a tight knit group

@nullagent that’s probably the most thoughtful, deep, philosophical, insightful thing I’ve seen yet on the violence in Gaza and Israel

Really highlights how difficult but necessary the “ethics of nonviolence” is

New in visionOS beta 4: a pinch gesture will zoom app windows up or down, in place. This also works with a trackpad. Any app can still override pinch for its own purposes, which automatically disables this system interaction

Ford Tripmonitor Pre-GPS unit, which ran on the Transit satellite network.

Microcassette player too, it doesn't get more niche and short-lived than that. Primo cassettefuturism on display.

Article about the Transit system. TIL the Soviets had a similar proto-GLONASS system called Parus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transit_(satellite)

@veronica they’ve really done an amazing job with season 2

Catching up on the last few episodes of #Foundation - really love this show.

@carnage4life im in this position now… really annoying it took the previous team failing miserably after 2 years for me to be given a chance, when the available budget and timelines are a tiny fraction of what they were at the start

Never thought about this before but I can sort of see what she means 🤔

visionOS beta 3 removes support for mouse and trackpad 👀 Very curious, after it working in the previous betas. I wonder how long they're removing it for — it worries me that they added UI to explain this, if it's only going to be temporary…
