I always get a little sad when I'm talking to an otherwise smart person about "AI" and the LLMs that power them and they say something like, "well maybe humans are just predictive text generators.” 😞

@mwichary@mastodon.online I like this idea and think about it more often than is probably healthy. There are problems. If you show alternative stuff, how do you get to the standard stuff? Maybe it needs two rows? If you have F-keys *and* touch bar, do you keep the hard keys and have duplicate soft functions? The UX is tough. That said, it's like Apple took one shot and gave up instead of iterating and refining. The one concession they made was the hardware esc key. It feels like they left it to die on the vine instead of cultivating it to achieve its original vision. I find it Ironic that a Java app had one of the best implementations.

@mwichary@mastodon.online Also, in Safari, I really miss it for form autofill. When filling out a form, my zip code was always just right there instead of hiding behind two mouse clicks. And if I wanted to fill my name, it would fill just my name instead of accidentally filling out the entire damn form or not exposing the one field I want to fill. (This happens a lot recently. I want to fill just one thing, but it only offers options to fill in more than just that one thing.)

@mwichary@mastodon.online I fired up my old laptop. The Touch Bar defaults in IDEA are pretty nice. Contents change based on context. When programming, you can choose different run configurations and start a run or debug session. During debugging, you get regular stepping functions. Press opt for more esoteric ones. You can customize it, too. Add a Rename button and never remember shift-F6 again! Same for extract variable, reformat code, git commands, or any other action IDEA supports. You can also add extra bars based on modifier keys or combinations of them. Going from a bug (attached) to ctrl-opt-d for Debug is such a step backwards IMO.

WTF. How is UUID not one of the types you can store in @SceneStorage? And worse, how come the limited types usable aren't documented*? #Swift #SwiftUI

*I've searched the pages for SceneStorage, AppStorage, and “Restoring your app's state with SwiftUI" and haven't found mention of data type restrictions.

RE: https://mstdn.social/@mcnado/116171297091244174 This second part is indicative of what is so disturbing to me: that so much of our nation's military is willfully obeying obviously unlawful orders. Makes me really glad I decided to not go to the Air Force Academy after all. If I had gone military, I'd probably be being court marshalled for not following orders right now.
Quoting
McNadoMD @mcnado@mstdn.social

Two things:
1. If we’re sinking Iranian ships in the open ocean using submarines, this is an offensive war, and the President needs to declare war and go to Congress.
2. If you sink a ship with a torpedo, and there are no other threats around, you are obligated to search for, and rescue, survivors. The US Navy needs to stop being complicit in Hegseth’s war crime spree.

(I do have a domain I can use. It's mail already goes to Fastmail.) I'd prefer to stay away from Javascript based stuff if possible and I want nothing to do with PHP. Thoughts/recommendations?

RE: https://xoxo.zone/@Ashedryden/116115489234533330 I feel badly that “America” has become synonymous with “USA.” There is so much more to the Americas than the US, and we’re making it all look bad because we appropriated the name.

Google continues to take money for malware pretending to be Homebrew installation. There’s nothing Homebrew can do about this. Google needs to fix it. Please put me in contact with someone at Google high enough level to actually fix it. https://github.com/Homebrew/install/issues/1074

@bjango@mastodon.social I get that and can see your point. A message anywhere in the app would help, or even in the watch app somewhere. That said, would a sub help with slow loading? It took over 4 seconds to launch when I tapped the complication (Series 10). Weather took under a second. Also, a bit more info on some of the wider complications (like Photos) would be nice. Too bad my iStat sub doesn't carry over :/

@bjango@mastodon.social I think just working would be a good feature. This is what I see when I raise my wrist, and it stays like this until the watch goes to sleep again. (Series 10, latest OS) When I installed the complication it showed the correct temperature. A few hours later it showed the temperature from when it loaded (tapping the complication updated it). Now, several more hours later, it shows what you see below.

Looking back at my past couple relationships, I now think that when someone goes out of their way to say “I’m really good at communicating,” what they really mean is, “I’m really good at producing words that closely match my internal thought model with little-to-no regard of how other people perceive them.”
