And by “iOS”, I meant “iPadOS”. Scribble (the handwriting recognition) is good enough to be interesting, but none of the other features called to me.

In case you had any doubts, iOS 14 was shipped according to the hardware release schedule, not according to when the P1 bug count got to a tolerably-low level.

@hjertnes@hjertnes.social There was. New watches and non-pro iPads.

Wait, removing the power adapter from Apple Watch? How do you charge the thing? Someone else’s Qi charger?

Apple Watch and iPad today. OK, one out of two ain’t bad.

It works better if you start up its database first.

A collaboration never made: Simon and Garfunkel with Sam Harris, “It’s All Happening Within the Consciousness”

@reednj@twtxt.xyz still alive!

Bought some new pants and washed them. They’re hang-dry only, so I took them into my bedroom and pointed a fan at them to hurry the process along. Several hours later, my bedroom still smells like new pants.

Getting around my current phone’s lack of a 3.5mm jack by…listening to music on my SIMless old phone. I feel like I’m cheating somehow.

@hjertnes@hjertnes.social What are you doing to have wikilinks in Hugo?

@mdosch@mdosch.de Oh wow. I thought Apple was the only org out there shipping zsh by default. What was their rationale for not defaulting to bash?

@hjertnes@hjertnes.social rebel.

Unexpectedly amusing: my 24-line .zsh_history. (chsh is near the end.)

@mdosch@mdosch.de Right. I can only last about 15–25 minutes in a 80°C sauna. An ambient temperature of 90°F (32°C) is also unpleasant, but not nearly as bad. I’ll use my iPad indoors when it’s 90°F during the peak of the heat of the day, but I wouldn’t want to take it into a 90°C sauna.

@mdosch@mdosch.de I’m American. All I know about 90°C is that it‘s a reasonable sauna temperature; the literature tends to focus on saunas at 80°C and 100°C. I haven’t been in a sauna in months, and my body misses it.

iPads under moderate load (streaming video) get surprisingly warm to the touch when ambient is 90°.

I want to like https://amp.rs/, but both its color schemes look horribad on a 256-color terminal (the most Terminal.app supports). The only terminal I have installed that supports lots of colors is…Visual Studio Code.

Intrusive bad idea of the day: installing the iPadOS beta so I can use Scribble.

Woke up after six hours of uneasy dreams and thought “at least I haven’t been transformed into a giant bug.”

Are we back? Probably not forever and ever, but we’re back for now.

Bumpy ride in the webhosting universe, here. Hang on, folks.

Previous best: plugging a USB foot switch into the iPad to make it turn the page.

Best setup yet: Books on iPad with voice control on; typing notes in a text editor on a separate device. Say “swipe left” to turn the page, with no command-tabbing needed.

Disappointment of the day: Despite what https://frog.tips/#429 says, gopher://frog.tips/GENUINEFROG appears to be non-functional.

@lahvak@lahvak.github.io I use this tiling WM for macOS that also works on Windows: https://code.visualstudio.com/

@johanbove@johanbove.info I can’t listen to podcasts and contribute to open source at the same time.

I brushed my hand against my laptop’s touchpad at the wrong time, in the wrong way, and moved some icon around in the Dock but didn’t catch which. I had to stare at the icons and try and figure out which one was out of place immediately because I hate having perma-pinned Dock icons in the wrong place

Of all the updates in today’s brew update && brew upgrade, the last one I expected was an update to a game originally implemented in the late ’70s. And yet, GOFAI/dungeon is now at 4.1.

My USB power brick says to cycle the charge in it every so often, so I had it keep my iPad powered up away from any outlet. Fully drained it and plugged it in to a powered-off computer to recharge. Overnight, it’s only recharged…halfway. Didn’t expect the recharge to be this slow.

Imagine the world when we have old, gray-bearded Millenials managing old legacy JavaScript-based systems. They shall sing “Den-o! The last dinosaur…” when griping about them. Their younger co-workers will not understand.

Surprise of the day: the “you sent an e-mail” sound in Outlook for iOS really benefits from a decent amount of stereo separation. Kind of a pity that its separatedness will kind of be like an easter egg.

Today, I’m enjoying how I’m not craving cheesecake, unlike yesterday.

Evidence against “Apple wants to position the iPad as a proper computer”: ⌘⌫ does not delete a currently-being-viewed message.

@lahvak@lahvak.github.io Maybe the exact answer is, like, something divided by 7.

In case you were wondering, using a mouse on iPadOS is fun for about five minutes.

Wise choice of the evening: deciding to pause Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol when sipping my can of La Croix.

@tux0r@rosaelefanten.org holy moly, ed? I thought I’d be the only ed user I’d ever hear about. (2) http://www.catb.org/esr/src/ should be fine in Dropbox, too, right?

@von@tilde.town once I read the manual and found out that the current line was the last line, all I needed to do was type «d\nw\nq\n». So glad I took the vim path instead of the emacs path.

I’m using Blink SSH on my iPad and I have an entry in known_hosts that I need to get rid of. I do not have vi available. I do have ed available. This will be fun.

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net ok, that sounds suspicious.
