IT HAPPENED. 🎉

There may not be an iPhone Duo in my (near) future, but this baby should be here next week. My first PCB. Can't wait to see if it works or (honestly, NOT unlikely) if it's a dud. 🤞

My iPhone Duo detection script fired this morning and I scrambled to pick up the unit(s) available at my local stores. By the time I got to checkout they were gone. I tried three times to put a phone in the bag, but they don't hold them after that, and then poof, they're gone. 🫠

I wrote up a little script to check my local Apple Stores for Duo pickup availability (and fire a local notification if something comes up). Expecting to see a LOOOOOOOOT of "none" in here.

The purpose of X is to spread far right white nationalism, full stop. If you participate there without acknowledging that, you're complicit. Same goes for Fox News and its lesser competitors.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

The iPad Mini is $950 CAD. 👀

"And as I grow, I'm learning to declare fewer absolutes in a complex, imperfect, and constantly changing world." We all need to internalize this message. Glad to have you back, @marcoarment.bsky.social.

I don't say this lightly: this approach is clearly the future of software development. I have a blog post brewing that touches on the subject, but fuzz testing and formal verification at scale will make all software an order of magnitude better, safer, and more reliable.

I don't like horror movies, but I watched Obsession last night anyway, and now I'm 100% back to not liking horror movies. What is *wrong* with you people

Went to my local Apple Authorized Reseller and played with a Duo. Amazing device. I get it: it's both the worst and best phone ever. The guy at the store laughed at me when I asked about daily stock coming in for walk-in sales. Cool.

My wife's away for the weekend starting now, so it's time to get *wild*: gonna grab sushi at some point, and totally not use my CPAP overnight.

Let's see how a standard.site links works, when composed from indigo.

If you encounter ICE, here's what every New Yorker should know.

Lemme tell you a tail

Incredibly, I might actually have something that works! KiCad is *amazing*.

Feels like @lexfri.xyz is really in a great swing on his blog these days. Love his takes and clear-eyed view of the Apple ecosystem.

Holy cow, this seems like a complete victory to me. Can't wait to see how this plays out!

"The culture on X today is remarkably friendly and inclusive. It is a cheerful place." - John Gruber

Very interesting thread! Supply chains affecting the development of computers? *Do go on!*

I'm only 20 minutes in, but this is terrific. Love hearing from Minister Freeland!

I read this and became very angry. To be so obtuse and to taunt people who act on their principles, it made me think for the first time about cutting my ties.

Now *here* is a man of taste and sophistication! 🤩

The most amazing thing about computers is that they work at all.

Goddam. That’s how you harvest blurbs for your book.

I suck at this. Must not give up.

Chrystia Freeland: "Your government is siding with Vladimir Putin, who is a bloodthirsty dictator and war criminal. This is not a time for us to be divided. And it's certainly not a time for America to be on the side of the bad guys, which I'm sorry to say, you are right now."

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

Mark Carney: We are reducing our dependence on the United States. [crowd goes crazy] Carney: It's not them, it's us.

The doxing of this complainant is vile, and revealing of WHY so many victims of sexual assault do not report it. Decent people who hang out at X (I know several), or who continue to post there about politics or sports or whatever, are complicit in Musk’s site’s tolerating and encouraging this.

I don't know why I haven't tried the Indigo app earlier for using Bluesky and Mastodon… this app is exactly what I was missing since the removal of Tweety, for the old people like me who remember… 😅 (just don't know why my Bluesky account is always disconnected on macOS)

No one could be as on the record pro flying cars as me, but to this question, with this tech, and this company… no.

I love that thousands of Albertans showed up to give a huge "fuck you" to the separatists. See you Monday, assholes.

I will of course watch the shit out of this

So… ha ha… I thought the pre-order was 5PM PST. 30 minutes late to the party, I'm not getting my Duo until the end of January. I know not a single soul should or will care, but I'm feeling a bit crushed right now.

Apple friends, I know your employer continually lets you down and disrespects your work. Reminder that ignoring bugs that don't impact your direct team is an easy and safe option. Your coworkers deserve some kind of (legal) resistance.

I don’t know what is worse, how corruptly idiotic this is, or how many people will nod their heads, brow thoughtfully furrowed, and think it is sagacious.

Actual Cancel Culture of a significant cultural figure [unlike where far right extremists engage in hate speech & are held accountable]. It’s extremism like this, & the disinterest of the current UK Labour govt in stopping the shift to the far right, that’s deeply worrying.

there is absolutely nothing wrong with my M4 Mac Mini (probably the single best bang for my buck computer purchase i have ever made) and yet the new M5 Pro mini is whispering to me like its the green goblin mask

Aaahhh, that's the stuff right there.
