So, are we muting/blocking the "DMers"? I am starting a list, and I am checking it twice.

@andros it seems your GtS has issues:

Warning! It looks like trusted-proxies is not set correctly in this instance's configuration. This may cause rate-limiting issues and, by extension, federation issues.

If you are the instance admin, you should fix this by adding 10.66.66.1/32 to your trusted-proxies.

This Simon Willison’s post is a good read: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/31/llms-in-2024/. If you haven’t read it, and are negatively or positively thinking of the so called AI, then you should.

There is more at Simon’s blog. It is worth spending some time in it.

Ghostly is available now. In the past I have used iTerm, but this time around I am going to try keeping as much vanilla tools as possible on macOS (thus will use Terminal, and see how it goes). Yet, this one looks interesting!

GoToSocial snapshot has gained "editing statuses" capabilities (and the ability to see the update trail as well). That was one of the things I wanted to most to be implemented. Actually, that sits at the top of my wish list. Next is push notifications.

Less than 30 minutes for Path of Exile II, and the queue of players waiting for the servers to open the gates is now at 22,525. More than 1 million have purchased the early access to the game. It is going to be a rough ride!

@prologic, editing the profile in any way (and saving it, of course) is stripping out the \u2028 from the description. Also, could the description field be changed to a textarea instead? Preferably to one who will "understand" new lines, and convert them to \u2028 automatically?

I don’t think calling the various PHP files making up “Timeline” a “Yarn pod” is accurate.

I share my location from my iPhone using “Find My” app with friends and family. I also have a family share, with immediate family.

Even since upgrading to iOS 18, and every once in a while, the location of someone sharing with me gets frozen in time. I see them, but their location doesn’t change for hours. In the case of family share, I can see their device up-to-date, under “Devices”, but they show frozen on the “People” tab. Only way to fix it is for either of us—it doesn’t matter who—to stop sharing, and start sharing again. That has happened to me with three different people, and to three different people, with others (not me).

Is anyone using iOS 18+ experiencing something similar? I have sent feedback to Apple.

"Designed by Apple in California" stopped being sold in 2019. It sold for $199, and $299 (two sizes). Check the eBay pricing on that link, if you want to know the selling price today.

Portion of the modified Twitter TOS that goes into effect today (it's on right now), as summarised (ironically) by Google's Gemini:

"In simpler terms, this means that when you share your content (like text, images, or videos) on the service, you're giving the company permission to use it in various ways. They can copy, modify, distribute, and even use it to train their AI models. This includes sharing your content with others and using it on other platforms. You won't be paid for this, but using the service itself is considered enough compensation."

@prologic, I don't know if you will notice that the first line on the block below has a slight indentation:

First line.
Second line.
Third line.

I believe this, on CSS, is causing it:

pre>code {
    padding:0 .25rem;
}
