@mattblaze did you rent it or is this a humblebrag that you carry around a $35k camera?

today is actually a full moon so i can’t tell if the full moon rising over the ridge in the joshua tree at night “environment” for the AVP is always a full moon, or if some nameless engineer at apple programmed it to dynamically match the actual phase of the moon.

i really need to update my mastodon and mattermost instances, the latest mobile clients don’t like talking to my servers. this sort of attitude toward forcing users onto an api upgrade treadmill is pathological.

An absolutely bonkers assault on encryption is happening right now in Nevada.

This week, the state AG moved for a temporary restraining order to stop Meta from rolling out default E2EE on Messenger for under-18 Nevadans. The state's brief characterizes E2EE apps as a tool for child predators. It argues that Meta's claims about E2EE protecting privacy & security are deceptive, so this is a CONSUMER PROTECTION VIOLATION. Oh, and half the brief is redacted.

Brief is here:

for google accounts with advanced protection turned on (aka mandatory hardware FIDO/U2F 2FA), it’s impossible to login on apple vision pro due to the fact that you cannot NFC or USB to your U2F keys. this is a problem.

@newt @sneak lol what a life. ebay shipping costs a lot and is slow. amazon has things to me in single digit hours. there is zero comparison.

@murph why would you want them to succeed blindly when you don’t know what they are doing or what goals such actions are in service of? this is fandom not science. mozilla is trash these days

the amazon cunts are putting banner ads inside my order history list now. this angers me beyond words. i am being punished for being a loyal and frequent customer.

wow, AVP is mega mega version 1.0 - i loaded my IMAP email configuration profile on it, and it's "unknown payload" and the account doesn't show up. it doesn't even support adding email accounts from profiles yet, and i see no way to use it to extend a mac desktop across a local lan unless you use icloud on the mac (i don't).

i think visionOS 1.5 or 2.0 is going to make this thing a lot lot lot more useful.

@Hyolobrika @Gargron can you recommend one with a documented upgrade path from mastodon?

@ralf i have some contract projects that might be useful to you in the short term. email jp@eeqj.com with your skillset, we could kick off in under 24 hours if you can do swift, golang, wordpress, hugo, etc

@ralf if you're so skilled why have you been out of work for 20 months? what's the blocker?

so jwz blocked me (lol, big surprise) but mastodon the software is pathological and now hides all of his *public* posts from me *on my own instance*, even though i can go to the instance he uses and read them all there because they are public. clicking on the notifications of him replying to me now makes them display for a moment then flash away hidden, even though my instance received them. why does mastodon allow remote users to decide what i can read off of my own server? @Gargron

@rayckeith NYT is one of the most prominent non-right-wing publications there is, tbh. i'm not right *or* left but i'm constantly annoyed at their pushing the left-wing agenda instead of neutral reporting. if you look for conspiracies against you, you're gonna find them even if they don't exist

@hawkesnest @jwz yes, disdain for those who would quote rap lyrics on twitter at dickhead city officials, a noble and worthy cause lol

There's a bug in latest/current Mail.app (v 16.0) that sends remote HTTP requests for messages under certain circumstances even when "block all remote content" is checked in the privacy tab in settings. Thank fuck for Little Snitch.
