Had someone who's a town planner comment come into my shop/cowork and commented on how great of an idea it was. Chuffed

I expect Apple to heavily leverage the Accessibility API in apps to have Siri automatically drive applications for users. I would’ve loved to have the time to have a crack at this, but I doubt they’d allow any third party apps to do this on iOS.

If they made a Titanfall movie that was the worst video game adaptation ever, it would still be better than Atlas

I want one of these, but for an Australian power outlet. Anyone seen such a thing? https://www.amazon.com.au/SEBSON-Adapter-Programmable-Maximum-Incandescent/dp/B07RLTCNYN

@simon you could probably make one with IKEA's power outlet and their motion sensor, my understanding is they support binding the motion sensor directly to their other devices

Look, I don’t want to police culture:

…but men in golf crowds shouting GET IN THE HOLE half a second after the ball leaves the putter face is getting very boring.

How long before we start trying to cram an LLM into a space probe to act as a potential interactive digital ambassador containing the wealth of human knowledge? A time capsule that could encapsulate and preserve our culture, languages, history for thousands of years, fired into the cosmos. It is almost certainly going to happen

@stroughtonsmith nothing could possibly go wrong with this

Does anybody have any experiences with using Apple's in-app subscriptions for an AppKit app? I understand that third party frameworks like RevenueCat are unavailable.. so how hard is it to implement yourself and how much hassle is it day-to-day release-to-release?

Any feedback would be very much appreciated.

chendo,
@chendo@mastodon.social avatar

@revenuecat @tapforms @frankreiff is there a benefit of using RevenueCat if I only have an iOS app and have no plans to do cross platform?

    @decryption ahhh okay.. I know the other Shellys can handle 24VDC, so you could probably use a rectifier to turn the AC into DC, then switch the 24VAC?

    @decryption The Shelly Plus 1 has a separate terminal for its power source and the switchable relay, see https://kb.shelly.cloud/knowledge-base/shelly-plus-1#ShellyPlus1(SNSW-001X16EU)-Basicwiringdiagrams

    Oddly enough, it doesn't specify 24V AC but I don't see why it wouldn't work considering it's a relay

    @PCOWandre @decryption hmmm yeah neons could do that. I use the RGBWs to switch 240w of LEDs and they’ve been fine

    Squarespace has taken a 6kb PNG and made it 1.4MB by trying to "optimise" and resizing it.

    Is there an easy to use website builder that isn't shit???

    @richiekhoo yeah, I've used Webflow as well but it's even more annoying to use for other reasons.. like editing text and content is suuuuuper painful in Webflow

    wtf. Docker compose supports health checks, but has nothing to automatically restart the container when the healthchecks fail.

    i assume low battery mode on ios is meant to be bad or something, but as far as i'm aware it's a "give me more battery for free" switch with no downside that i notice

    why don't they make the whole phone out of the stuff low battery mode's made of

    chendo,
    @chendo@mastodon.social avatar

    @hailey it limits animation speeds, and is generally more aggressive with anything that uses more power. ProMotion (120hz) is disabled, background refresh, etc etc

    Dear people who make websites,

    Now that Safari 17.4 is available, what other new web technology — HTML, CSS, JS, Web API, media support, etc — would you like to see supported in Safari next?

    What’s most needed?
    What will you use it for?
    Or how will it help your team serve your users?
    Tell me a story…

    chendo,
    @chendo@mastodon.social avatar

    @jensimmons sadly no offical spec exists for this just yet. We can’t use 1x, 2x etc to cap the resolution easily, because this would require using <source> tags to target viewport sizes, which markup kind of painful to deal with
