Hey @alamedacountyca.bsky.social, your accessibility survey you sent out in Dec 18 needs to be fixed. Question 4 asks to check all that apply, but you can only select a single option.

We really need a national program to teach young men what constitutes an _appropriate amount_ of deodorant. Currently siting next to a dude and I swear I can *taste* the AXE body spray

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

Liquid Glass feels very half-baked, with lots of details unaddressed. For example, here is the focus switcher when invoked via the action button. On a white background, it’s unreadable.

@rmondello.com I am seeing an intermittent race condition for SMS codes. If I tap autofill at just the right time, the message is deleted but doesn’t fill in the code.

Seeing this in 2 separate apps (BofA, Amex).

Any suggestions on best debug data so I can submit via feedback assistant?

The iPhone 17 Pro power/side button is the best feeling button Apple has made so far. Just the right amount of clickiness. Enough resistance to not trigger accidentally but don’t needlessly resist pushing. Top marks!

It's Minnesota State Fair time! It's time for Minnesotan folk art! Here, for example, is Saturn Devouring His Corn, in the seed art category!

If you are responsible for trash cans where you live, my tip is: get some wood shavings and spread them at the bottom of the recycle bin. It prevents organic matter from sticking to the bin which makes it much less smelly!

The shavings used for pet bedding seems to work well for me

You know the best thing is about the Mail.app on iOS? It’s how the “AI” surfaces spam into the “Primary” category, which is supposed to be relevant high priory mails.

It’s literary making the product a *worse* experience compared to my existing “dumb” filtering rules.

*sigh*

Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your resume

Software engineer: was waiting for the socket to time out

Solid state physicist: it's the zone between the valance band and the conduction band where there are no allowed states. Assuming letters are fermions.

Received this lovely email from Disney+ who recently lost 700,000 subscribers “clarifying” that “circumstances” might require them showing me ads even though I am paying them for no ads tier.

What nether tier of capitalism bullshit is this‽
