@gruber.foo what are you going to do without a black iPhone Pro this year? 😂 I guess it’s the iPhone Air for you.

I haven’t tried browsers other than Chrome or Safari on iOS in years. Just downloaded and gave this a try and it’s… got a lot of really nice features and UI. I’ll leave my final judgements until after I’ve used it for a while but man does this make Safari feel behind. Am I an “Opera person” now? 😅

Herdling is OUT NOW! We’re stoked to finally invite you on this journey 🐐🦬🐏⛰️

Animated gif of laptop on a coffee table. Picture zooms in to reveal it is a PowerBook G4.

So I’m shopping for a coffee table and spotted this beauty. Can’t help imagining it sitting in a box of staging decor somewhere. What’s the over/under that it boots? 😂 @ismh86.net

Due to mass confusion, clarifying again:

Tsunami Watch: Tsunami of indeterminate magnitude is possible; stand by.
Tsunami Advisory: Tsunami is likely *but will probably be small.* Evacuations unlikely.
Tsunami Warning: Tsunami is likely *and may be large.* Evacuations needed.

Apple Expected to Win Rights to Formula 1 With $150M Bid Apple is expected to win the rights to stream Formula 1 races on Apple TV+ in the United States thanks to a $150 million bid, Business Insider...

If Apple wins the US broadcast right to this, I wonder if they’ll put their fancy cameras in all of the cars like they did for the F1 movie, improving broadcast quality for everyone. No idea if that’s even practical, allowed etc.

A militarized conspiracy theorist group believes radars are ‘weather weapons’ and is trying to destroy them | CNN National Weather Service offices around the country are on guard after recent threats to agency infrastructure — specifically Doppler weather radars — from a violent militia-style group, emails from t...

NEXRAD radars are #weather detectors, not “weapons.” When you receive a #tornado or severe #thunderstorm warning, it is more likely than not based on an NWS meteorologist’s interpretation of #radar data. Your taxpayer dollars pay for their operation. Leave them alone. #FFS

Diabetes Prevention Program Cancellation a ‘Colossal Waste’ The recent federal cancellation of a 30-year-old study over a nonrelated dispute with the study coordinator, Columbia University, leaves investigators ‘reeling.’

“Every day that goes by without funding, our valuable staff at our 30 centers are lost and the rent for research space and the cost of supplies are lost; the study begins to dissolve.” -Dr. David Nathan re the #Diabetes Prevention Program www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...

There it is:

4 panel comic of a bear trying to yell. The words “Sometimes you will need to yell even if nothing comes out. I am a bear.” are lettered across the panels as the bear sits on a hill and looks off into the distance before giving the whole yelling thing a go.

Sometimes you will need to yell. I am a bear.

These severe storms will likely be somewhat isolated, but could occur even at lower elevs & will have good chance of generating large hail (>1 inch diameter) & strong wind gusts (~65+ mph). Given local terrain/topography influences, could even see an isolated tornado. #ORwx #WAwx

I thoroughly enjoyed this blistering condemnation of the Apple’s Settings UI. Great work, Joe!

I’m not saying you *need* to offer onesies on the Cortex Brand shop, but… I’m not NOT saying that. Congrats to you both! 🎉

Sometimes I stop doing things because I do not know if those things are bear things to do.

Then, eventually, I stop thinking about that and do the things I do until it happens again.

I am a bear.
