Sucks that @mapilio #Mapilio iOS street-level image app chokes - "Server Error" - when attempting to upload sequence to server.😕😡 Not a great #OpenStreetMap #OSM ally 😕😡
P.S. App usually launches w/images upside down - FCOL learn how to query sensors!

This has been broken for a while now, I think since iOS 17 and MacOS 14. The “Hey, this track is currently playing!” audio meter-looking icon is static when playing over AirPlay. And it sometimes gets stuck on the first track you play, refusing to advance. I often have no feedback in Music as to what’s going on. #EverythingIsBroken

A screen capture of a music track from the iOS Music app. The track, named This City, has 5 small, red dots to the left of it. These dots are meant to animate like an audio meter when a track is playing. Though The City was, indeed, playing when taking this screenshot, there is no animation.

Swear to fucking Christ, every fucking goddamn thing is broken. #EverythingIsBroken

The Mac Music app has a new, fun UX bug! At least it's new to me. I have not seen this before today.

Music has to be in the background. The blurred transparency that is there when Music is in the foreground loses it's blur while in the background.

A screenshot of the top left corner of the Mac Music app. An album (Much Les by Les McCann) has been scrolled up past the top of the app. There is a gap between the main Music page and the Music title bar, but in the title bar itself, the page elements are visible, slightly dimmed.

I guess Rolling Stone's politics page is broken, right?

I should close this page, right?

Nope. Just scroll down. See? Beautiful!

A screen capture of the Rolling Stone Politics page on their website. It is a big, empty, white page with their website banner and navigation menu in the dean, vertical CENTER of the page. There is no other content.

A screen capture of the same Rolling Stone Politics page on their website. After scrolling up, as the menu bar approaches the top of the page, a DUPLICATE menu bar pops down. There are now two menu bars. The content of the page appears as you scroll up. It’s been hiding off the bottom of the page.

All I can figure is @duckduckgo saw "fire Los" and matched to "El hot"

Me: Article is very hot
DDG: Me know what do!

A follow up visit seems to confirm this also happens on the non-self-service registers as well, but apparently it's only displaying the incorrect total. According to the receipt I was charged the correct price. #EverythingIsBroken

Eating the dog food. But not eating ALL the dog food I wish they'd eat so not #EverythingIsBroken.

The small text (not actually very small at all!) at the end of today’s iMac M4 video from apple: “Shot on iPhone. Edited on Mac. All presenters, l“cations, and aerial footage shot on iPhone.”

Once again, the Apple Music connection in the Mac Music app has vanished, so once again, I had to quit and re-open the app. #EverythingIsBroken

Selection buttons from the Music app on a Mac. I should have three buttons, but only has two: Your Library and iTunes Store.

Selection buttons from the Music app on a Mac. The three buttons are here after a re-start: Apple Music, Your Library, and iTunes Store.

A many-years problem now: The awful Music app on the Mac just “loses" Apple Music sometimes. It does not show up as a search option, and right-clicking something to see it on Apple Music fails, since Apple Music has silently vanished from the app.

All I have to do is re-start the Music app to bring Apple Music back, but I shouldn’t have to, you know?

This HDR on an SDR screen (Apple Studio Display) is pretty awful. It should just adjust, but I guess not. #EverythingIsBroken

A screen capture of the Apple event today. A video window floats over backgrounds items. The white in the Notes app is white. The “white” in the video still is a dull grey.

I delete my browser cookies often. But still, YouTube feeds me crap that has NOTHING to do with the video I pulled up, just because they know it will rile me! (A video from both sides is here, so they are hedging their bets. Asshats.)

A YouTube page for a description of the NotchLC video codec. The suggested videos on the right side are:
Two more NotchLC videos
Tucker Carlson at the fucking HRC convention
The CrowdStrike CEO on the Today show
Bernie Sanders on Colbert
Three more CrowdStrike videos

Somewhat related, and I promise this isn't going to become a political account, but how exactly does it make sense that crotchety old dudes who basically grew up seeing women as self-cleaning sex toys and baby dispensers now get to decide if women get to have children and even what constitutes a true, real woman(tm) to begin with? like ...I'm a white dude but there's no reality in which this makes even remote sense to me. Maybe I'm just too invested in the simple concept of leave people the fuck alone and let them live their lives but just ... guh. #everythingIsBroken

I tried today to do the Duolingo English test, just because its cheap, their rules are the least draconian I found and the institution I'm looking at accepts it.
They were pretty good about accommodations, however unfortunately one type of question, that happens pretty frequently, completely freezes their janky little browser completely when NVDA is running for some inexplicable reason. SO I guess that's the end of that that for now :) #everythingIsBroken

So I installed the PDFW upgrade now (using a Windows installation), but that did not directly help: the USB-C cable was still not detected after reconnecting it.

BUT now I turned the cable around, and that works! Quite sure I tried that with other cables before, without success. So maybe the PDFW upgrade _did_ fix something; or the other cables I tried are all broken or non-standard. Still weird that the cable works in either direction if I reset the laptop.
