Earlier this week I considered being that guy and speaking to my son's school about some of the stuff he's being taught; namely the existence of feminist spiders. Glad I didn't, as long story short, he can't pronounce the word venomous properly.

Recalculating everything for my current novel to account for every fourth light-year being longer by a factor of 366/365, except for multiples of 100 that are not multiples of 400.

I’m curious why you ask this. Every iPhone I’ve owned and every version of iOS ever has handled landscape photos correctly for me. They display small when the phone is in portrait orientation, but switch to full width in correct orientation when it’s turned on its side. Exported photos show in the correct orientation in programs that know how to read orientation from the metadata in the file.

Playing games that use the Fn keys on my Mac. I haven't been able to get them to work in the game. Found out thess are mapped by my Mistel keybaord in "Mac" mode. That mode makes the command and alt keys be in the correct places, but also makes the Fn keys not be Fn keys.

So now I'm looking for a new #keyboards. I'd like a split keyboard with a number pad. They don't really exist, far as I can tell.

I have a #dygmadefy that I was on my way to really liking. But thumbs aren't designed to move like that to hit that number of different keys. Pretty much instant tendonitis, or worse, happened to me. So that style is out.

Looking for #mechanicalkeyboards with number pads.

This isn’t just Apple. It’s true of all of them that “sell” streamed music and movies.

WORD!!!

Dear #AppleComputer:

I bought some things from a store and am trying to reply to their email in the mail app because it supports the Hide My Email (HME) feature that I use alot.

I want to reply to their customer support address, not the "no-reply" they send it from. I also want to have it sent "from" the hide-my-email they know me as.

If I reply to the email, I get the HME that they sent to, but I can't change the to: address from the no_reply to their customer support address. I can't even add it as a CC. If I click on the customer support address link I get that address, but then can't select the HME associated with them.

WTAF? Who thought lockijng all this down like this is a good idea? Why prevent people from doing what they want to?

Coworker: ...what's the fourth number?
Me: grin widens Just hit enter.
Coworker: WTF!?

Thanks a lot daylight saving time.

These people are bad at counting motorcycles.

@nicemicro
You do you. That’s fine.

The number of people that die in auto accidents in the US is around 40,000 per year. A hundred per day is a far cry from “hundreds of thousands”. Even the world, which is around 25 times that of the US population isn’t going to be that high per day.

Oooooooooh... Murderbot is coming to #appletvplus #murderbot

I murdered the bacon. 🥓 I’m sorry. 😢 I’ll turn myself in to the authorities on Friday next week.
