- Comment on Apple, Google, and Samsung will accept Matter certification for their own Works With programs 3 weeks ago:
My only problem is that matter support usually means “basic functionality” for your IOT devices. On / off, hot / cold, etc. You typically still have to create an account with a proprietary app to configure more nuanced things. For example, the shape and soil characteristics of my irrigation zones, the motion section trigger areas of my cameras, the fade and trim setting of my light switches, etc.
I don’t know how you sort this mess out. I’d love to never install a 3rd party app for IOT stuff, but I don’t see that happening anytime remotely soon.
- Comment on Californians Say X Blocked Them From Viewing Amber Alert About Missing 14-Year-Old 3 weeks ago:
The problem isn’t the alert itself, it’s that cops put Twitter links in the alert. If you want to see what the car, suspect, or victim look like, you need to be able to access Twitter.
Police have been doing this for years now. It’s a fast a cheap way to microblog without buying or supporting something with the city’s budget.

- Comment on It's that time of year again 4 weeks ago:
I always love when people in my area decide to take up hiking on Jan 1st, in the middle of winter, when it’s wet and muddy.
The newbies last about a month and the trails are back to normal.

Given where he’s currently at in life, the real endorsement should probably come from his family.

That headboard could be sold to so many more people if they just opened their minds ever so slightly.
Imagine being able to hide a diddy amount of lube in that bad boy.

When I was in middle school I thought “warez” was pronounced “juárez.” I’m not a smart man.

Filing as a B corp wouldn’t be my first choice if I was trying to prioritize getting rich.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 2 months ago:
People may disagree with how BlueSky is organized and architected, but I get why they decided to do what they did. User experience.
Their architectural decisions mean that people don’t have to worry about instances confusing people, and the org structure means is easy to staff a proper dedicated experience team that can be working, planning, and testing before big expensive decisions are committed to code.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 2 months ago:
The project was started as an architectural thought experiment, not with the goals and limitations of the end user.

- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 2 months ago:
Whenever Lemmy or Masto gets a flood of new users, a portion of them never make it past the instance selection and totally bail.
The user experience was designed by people who literally respond to user feedback by telling users to commit new code to the project.
It’s clearly designed by engineers who assume other users will be just like them.
- Comment on They used to be all metal too. Its time for a revolution 2 months ago:
Apparently, in order keep the “die cast” label, either the base or the top are die cast.
Some cars are plastic on top and metal on the bottom, and others are metal on top and plastic on the bottom.
As I recall, the wheels are also no longer 4 separate axel pins. They’re just two long pins. One in the front, one in the back.

IMHO, the biggest problem with outsourcing is the distance and time gap. There isn’t enough overlap to help people get unblocked in the middle of the day. So they either make stupid assumptions and plow ahead, or freeze up and slow down.

Yes. This was taken on iOS.

Oh the irony. The site reporting LG’s ads wants people to remove ad blockers.
