@stux I watched that video this morning! Love Christophe; he covers such varied, interesting topics. This one in particular feels relevant to a lot of people who unfortunately probably aren’t watching his videos :(

Something very weird is happening on Tinder

Some Tinder users have started noticing a strange new kind of profile. Swipe through the photos and everything looks normal — until you hit the last one.

That's where things get weird. The final photo always shows a face that doesn't quite fit: sometimes silly, sometimes unsettling. I went down a rabbit hole of stolen identities and catfishing schemes to figure out what's really going on.

"It has been proposed that technology choice was influenced by a Victorian 'separate spheres' ideology, where the gasoline car was signified as a masculine object, while the identification of electric cars with women 'took hold early and tenaciously'. [Early] gasoline cars were dirty, were prone to breakdowns and had to be cranked to be started, and required some degree of mechanical skills, while electric cars were clean, reliable, and aesthetically appealing.

The gasoline car’s disadvantages reinforced masculine mechanical prowess, whereas the simplicity of electric cars was viewed as feminine."

The slow part of software is NOT the initial generation of software. It's the maintenance and review of it.

If your management is pushing for 10x programmer output, hell even 40% more programmer output, what they're asking for is a stability crisis. There's no way around it. That's how it is right now.

Important Note!

#Roku is forcing us to update our minimum device firmware targets by October 1, 2026. Currently we support old Roku OS versions going back into Roku OS 12, but they are forcing us to change the minimum to Roku OS 15.1.

Releases will be blocked if we do not make this change.

Y'all on older devices that are no longer updated or y'all who block automatic Roku updates have 3 options that I can see.

1. Buy a new device
2. Stop receiving #Jellyfin for Roku updates after October 1, 2026
3. Sideload the Jellyfin app, knowing some things may stop working as we make required changes to support OS 15.1

We'll communicate with y'all as we start work on supporting this, but know IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF US! We're being forced to do this, so if you're affected, contact Roku.

Don't yell at us. 😐

Did you know that you can export your saved data (including passkeys!) from Apple Passwords to another app on your iPhone or iPad? Top level of the app, ... menu, “Export Data to Another App”.

And you can export your saved data (including passkeys) from 1Password to another app on your iPhone or iPad, too! Top level of the app, user avatar, Settings, Advanced, Start Export.

Folks from 1Password, Dashlane, Bitwarden, NordPass, Apple, and Google collaborated on a data interoperability standard to make this possible. Building on top of that, iOS has first-class support for migrating that standardized data between apps.

Not all apps will support all of the data that’s possible to be transferred, but this really might help you switch from one app to another. There’s no need for a desktop computer and a CSV file, and those CSV files never supported migrating passkeys. The OS support for this exists on Mac, but third-party apps have been slower to adopt it.

Everything I’ve said here is public information and available to use on your i{Phone,Pad}OS 26 devices today.

New art: Overslept

I started this while we still had a lot of snow this winter. The long time it took me to finish and the subject both reflect my mental and physical state lately; tired af. 😅

Digital painting made in #krita

Sorry for lack of art lately, my creativity and arm strength (needed for drawing) have taken a dive, but I'm slowly chugging along through illness (Graves disease) and under-researched medical treatments. And tbh, the state of the world.
