@timbray I waited for the first point release. I’ve been on it for nearly a week now and it’s been … uneventful. Which is what you want from your OS. So it’s a greenlight from me.

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon

@uastronomer No, no, I didn’t mean to dispute that part. Showing a QR code on a phone is a stupid idea when you can show an actual hyperlink. QR codes are a “physical world” hyperlink and only belong on physical items.

I just meant that EVEN IF they wanted to use it digitally, that most people […]

@uastronomer Your point is valid because most people don’t know you can take a screenshot of a QR code and in the screenshot popup (even before you save it to your camera roll) you can press and hold on the QR code to be presented with a popup menu to open the link in Safari.
(I’ll be surprised […]

@uastronomer Hmmmm. Not sure about this one, Allen.

A box office hit isn’t the be-all-and-end-all. But a good movie often gets word-of-mouthed and *becomes* a box office hit. A bad one gets word-of-mouthed and *becomes* a flop as people tell others to avoid it. This isn’t universally true, but […]

@malachy You mean the guy who started a new war, and actively buddy-buddied with the perpetrator of a different war, and actively buddy-buddied with the perpetrator of a genocide, and kidnapped the president of another country, and threatened his northern neighbor with military invasion, and […]

@LexFreagles I don’t even care if we have a great comeback from here on out in this game (completely unlikely), I STILL give you complete permission to MAKE ENDLESS FUN of these atrociously bad Cowboys. Holy **** I haven’t seen football this bad in years. “Embarrassing” doesn’t even begin to […]

@uastronomer I swear I can think of several, but they’re eluding me right now. But I have them in my mind’s eye. Where they discussed whether or not to keep the pregnancy, etc. Or like in Friends, when Rachel was pregnant with Ross baby. She was VERY unsure about it for quite some time.

The perfect bumper sticker doesn’t exi… Oh.

@uastronomer Agreed and good examples.

I think there are some exceptions, though:
1. AR glasses. I can see (lol, no pun intended) this becoming a useful thing. (I predict the uproar about cameras on glasses will eventually die down)
2. Which can lead to eye implants (whether on the eyeball like […]

@uastronomer I’ve got ChattyG’s Personalization set to “Efficient”. None of that congratulatory bullshit, and little (not none, but little) probing follow-up questions. Much better than the default.

@uastronomer Too many red flags, my friend. I’d stay clear. (Like others have suggested)

@_Davidsmith Just checking that I’m not doing anything wrong? Widgets on Watch aren’t working for me after upgrading to 27(.0.1) yesterday. WatchSmith is at latest version. Most likely is that you’re still working on it, but just thought to ask. My watch face is barren without your lovelies! 🤣 […]

YAY. Finally!
