iOS 27.2 beta 3: first major 3rd party app problem I’ve had across the whole iOS 27 dev beta run 🎉 YouTube videos are glitching out big time

just discovered this xcode finally, finally handles package dependencies without crying `defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode IDEPackageSupportUseBuiltinSCM YES`

it has taken me 3 years to realise the church bells are so loud on a Monday evening because it’s the frigging bell ringers’ practice night, not just an extremely extended wedding celebration

my home assistant mini pc’s power supply died in the night and that means a day before amazon can replace it, which means today has been a brutal reminder of how much of my house relies on a single point of failure 😅

huh, just remembered macklemore’s same love came out 14 years ago what’s the bet a song like that could come out today to the same critical acclaim?

I remember being 13 and thinking “wow, I’m so lucky that it’ll be so easy for me to grow up gay, we’re past all the hatred” bad news, younger aaron

"Do the thing you can do instead of beating yourself up over not doing the thing you're not doing" is honestly life-changing, even life-saving, advice.

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

hello does anyone at #emf2026 have any rs-232 f-f couplers or dupont jumper cables? comlaag are in need for a hull trains led board thing

As a kid I used to scream and sob about getting a haircut… but now I practically fall asleep on the chair?!? In fact I did once fall asleep which terrified the poor barber 😭 But I just had it cut, went to subway on the way back and I asked for ketchup on a sub that should not have ketchup on it

biggest recommendation: buy some drywipe whiteboard pens even if you don't have a whiteboard so many surfaces in a house can be written on with them - and they'll wipe off no problem! for example: i've just put cleaning product in the toilet so wrote on the top of the toilet seat "use the other loo"

My portable AC has been really, really noisy. Discovered earlier on that if I push in the side on the exact right spot, it massively quietens down. I didn’t want to stand pushing it though so… problem solved?!

can anyone recommend any precision electric screwdrivers? my hands get really crampy if I have to grip things like screwdrivers so I avoid it where I can and an electric screwdriver would really help 😁

I love living with Libby. She doesn’t know the weirder ABBA songs. Needless to say, she was alarmed when all she heard was “I AM BEHIND YOU. I’LL ALWAYS FIND YOU. I AM THE TIGER.”

what is with this new thing where sales people are using loads of slightly different domains and email addresses to send the same crap marketing email to different people?

For reference, my PC case has a USB C port with a type-E internal plug on a cable to plug it in to the motherboard - which has no receptacle. I bought a PCI-e card a few years back with a receptacle but it doesn’t fit well - and the same card has an internal USB 3.1 type-A receptable

yes I spent basically my entire Sunday on GitHub actions off the back of me trying to make a lil script that refreshes my caddyfile when I push to github, what of it

Discovered the downside of using + email aliases for Let’s Encrypt today. Didn’t realise I’d used so many until they started an email announcement across their entire user base 📨
