The reason why camera import briefly didn't work for me was that I was using the one version of the program which had a bug. I'm not stable enough to be on an older version, nor cutting-edge enough to be on a fixed version. Good that it's easy to install an older version of a package.

Yeah I'm still salty about having to pay €€€ for authorised translators because neither my native language nor English was acceptable in Berlin.

Vi accepterar dokument utfärdade på tyska - ingen översättning behövs."

Tänk om de vore lika tillmötesgående i tyskland. 😤

Früher hatte ich eine #Strichliste am #Kühlschrank, um für die #Diabetis zu protokollieren, ob ich mein #Insulin schon genommen habe, um Doppeleinnahme zu verhindern

Hab das jetzt einfach in der #CWA umgesetzt & somit einen noch einfacheren Workflow

Dank #CoronaWarnApp <3

me: I can't, the page 404s which is why I am calling you

them: can you try another browser?

me: no

them: can you try it in private mode?

/me takes 3 deep breaths

me: no, your app doesn't work in private mode.

me: you do know what a 404 error is, right?

I had the opportunity to observe a peer that's never heard of Mastodon go through the iOS app onboarding process a week back, and it all went smoothly up until the regional server they chose turned out to block sign-ups with GMail addresses. I later notified the owner of that server and got it fixed but how long did it go unnoticed?

That went well, but I do need to get the German or Russian translations up soon

Does BotW have seasons? Trying to meet the Lord of the Mountains again so I'm coming back to that spot regularly and noticed that some rocks are very green now and the lake is filled with leaves, and it wasn't always like that.

Do you want io::Read::read_exact(), but read into a Vec instead?

let bytes\_read = reader

Something I've been noticing with the whole #Apple scanning your device content fiasco is that a lot of the rhetoric centres around the ability of China/Russia to misuse this.

While true and may serve a rhetorical purpose, this is being rolled out in the U.S. only. Clearly not at the CCP's request.

Americans need to be able and willing to first admit that oftentimes it is just fellow Americans doing unethical shit to their fellow Americans. You'd never improve your own country otherwise.

Last iOS app update added multiple languages like Catalan, French and Spanish, though I don’t think I’ll be able to see how many people are using those languages which is a bit of a shame. I guess we’re also missing localizations for the App Store page itself…

Hm, the shielding on this iPhone charging cable is deteriorating at the plug and I can peek into it. Never had a cable do that before, and it's only 5 years old.
