Not that it matters, but I've always thought the local timeline is a useful concept. It probably makes more sense for a small, purpose built community instance of some kind with a common theme or purpose. I'd imagine it's useless for mastodon.social or the like.

I never understood the purpose of exposing people to the federation hose, and it seems like that has too many downsides.

To those upset about some design decisions in the iOS app: Nobody’s forcing you to use the iOS app. I’m fully aware that it takes a different turn from all other existing apps in some aspects, and that’s the point. If it makes the fediverse larger by retaining more new users, then I’ve succeeded and everyone benefits. If not, nobody except me loses.

The utter incompetence & uselessness of my university in responding to the pandemic is driving me to rage. What a tepid bunch of time-wasting bureaucrats.

And as I said, the #iOS app is open source. I’ll request a Crowdin project soon. However, just because it’s open source doesn’t mean that we’ll accept any change through PRs. If you want to be sure, contact me first.

There's a 1 month notice on the TV contract even though it's "free."
So if I forget about it completely and never cancel, it has no consequences?
I guess if someone else requests it for the same address, they might want the box back.

Does anyone know if App Store reviews take a while to show up in the interface, or have none been submitted so far? 🤔

Makes you wonder... are there other data compression algorithms we could employ?

What if your favorite song/movie could be encoded as a compact factorial?

If you think about it, any text-file, any image or video, any executable on your machine is just stored as a series of 1's and 0's, and can simply be interpreted as a very, very large integer.

You're not running Excel, you're just running a number. You're not watching the latest episode of your favorite show, this is 180983984839912343232899016056542024...

With much help from @nev, I believe I've identified this as an argiope aurantia, or yellow garden spider.

At least I think it's cool. I came across this one while pulling weeds on my team's landscape day at work (the company has been running an experiment with doing our own landscaping at work). Anyway, I'm not from around these parts, so the species is unfamiliar to me. I didn't see it at first because its web was placed right in the middle of some weeds with yellow flowers I was pulling. I nearly grabbed it accidentally. Whatever it is, it seems to be a chonky, happy one.

Trying to create a Samsung account and it just won't let me.
Whatever randomly-generated password I put in, it says it contains my email address or phone number, and that's not allowed.

Why are corporations like this.
I don't need any account or credit card or anything on my laptop.
