So excited for this announcement!! #Eggy and UM same night. Let’s gooooooo!

If #iOS 18 brings us anything I hope it is to finally put my app icons exactly where I want them.

I’m not going to turn on #Fediverse sharing on my #Threads account.

Though what I will do is make a Threads post sharing my information to this profile to follow here. No point in having two accounts when what I support is here.

Is it exciting for Threads joining the Fediverse? For me kinda.

Though I don’t think we need to stand for any crap/drama/hate it may bring the same way we handle Instances now.

Oh heck ya!

#MonaApp added a few new app icon alternatives!

The image shows a list of app icons with the name “Elephant” followed by different color names such as Blue, Black, Green, Pink, Purple, Orange, and Blue 2. Each icon has a silhouette of an elephant’s head and

What is your favorite #MonaApp theme? I probably have found all that are posted with the #MonaAppTheme and #MonaTheme. Maybe you have one I haven’t see!

Threads API coming in June

It is encouraging to see them open an API with upcoming federation.

Bill reminders? No problem! Screenshot of a smartphone displaying a text message from the number 7535. The message reads “AT&T Free Msg: You have one or more bill alerts for your wireless account. Log in to att.com/myattapp to view your alerts.

Appears AT&T is down this morning.

Truthfully, I don’t think there is a working brain transplant.

Look how long it took Cybertruck to get here and we saw that! We’ve heard of countless animals dying. Not a single success reported publicly. More smoke and mirrors of a “genius”.

Two comments on parenting for the night:

  1. Apple. All I want is to set a max universal volume. No higher than that.. an iPad for a child should not have free range. No, $3600 headsets. Max volume on the speaker. Thx.

  2. That moment you realize the oversized sleep shirt is no longer a sleep shirt, but bordering on normal shirt. Grow up to fast some days.

Good lord! 😂

Whopping 75.85% of X click through to advertisers were fake. Honestly, can this not be considered theft? Customers paid for eyes on their product/sites and didn’t get that.

Finally! This has beenn a big pain in my backside lately. Frustrating that text will jump all over trying to send a message.

The image displays an iOS update notification for version 17.3.1 from Apple Inc. It mentions that the update includes bug fixes for iPhone, specifically addressing an issue where text may unexpectedly duplicate or overlap while typing.

Fun to see the #Apple people and the #Phish people all rush to make purchases today.

Worst part with the new Facebook link history is that, in my experience so far, opting out I am now asked every time to turn it on. I assume the move here is to catch me slacking to not turn it off or exhaust me to leave it on. Pure #enshittification.

I have made this post a few times, I believe.

I love Mastodon’s open API. It gives us such a great catalog of apps to choose from. So many great options to use!

In 2023 it is insane that the option to restart my HomePod is to unplug then replug it in.
