@atpfm@mastodon.social Long Islander here. I know where Fire Island is. I have often been to Fire Island. I go to Robert Moses beach quite often. It is on Fire Island and I don’t count that beach as part of Fire Island even though it has the FIRE ISLAND LIGHT HOUSE on it. The vast majority of people that claim to live on Fire Island spend the majority of the year not on Fire Island. Marco, you live on Long Island.

@marcoarment@mastodon.social My "favorite" part of the 26 workout app is the dozens of segments inserted into your run if you were unfortunate to wear long sleeves. Just randomly inserted segments inserted by default. The slow scrolling workout selector and all the extra clicks are special too. What a mess

@marcoarment@mastodon.social @pxlnv@mastodon.social Oh indeed. One now has to watch their "generative fill" credits in Photoshop whilst wrestling with the giant adjustment layer bug that disables the sliders and only the number box allows input if you are on Tahoe and dare to use a touch pad. QA 101 and Adobe missed it...of course they blame Apple....Who blames Adobe.

@overcastfm@mastodon.social Thanks and congrats for getting this over the finish line.

@marcoarment Can't decide if this was a failed technology or a failed product. Maybe there was an alternate universe where face wearable computers are thing but it just doesn't seem to be something the public wants. Not just from Apple, from anybody. Can't see Apple spending anymore time on this. It will be allowed to wither, and then be cancelled without ever receiving a price reduction.

@overcastfm@mastodon.social Welllllll, in all fairness you have not always been complimentary of the folks commenting on Reddit, but fresh starts and the high road and al that. Peace and good luck

@jonathanreed Was my childrens favorite and now I watch it with my granddaughter who loves it but whats to keep rewinding the cat-bus. She is 2 1/2 so we have lots to watch. Surprisingly she likes Ponyo too. I though she would be a little scared of that but she tunes right in.

@ismh86@eworld.social I heard a rumor that Apple is running out of A18 chips. So what to do? Manufacture more or accelerate the spec bump?

@atpfm@mastodon.social Here is some completely unfounded blind gossip: "The fruit company is going to buy a satellite company. It wouldn't have been allowed by the government before but they gave the government a secret key into their phones which they had never previously allowed. It is why the head of the company left." https://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2026/04/blind-item-10_0686796532.html

@coachmike66@mastodon.social I live in New York, my harbor froze over! Kind of have to wear long sleeves if I'm lucky enough to run outdoors at all.

@marcoarment@mastodon.social Just played with this for a few minutes and Marco.....This is fucking cool!

@marcoarment@mastodon.social I do the same for loud movies. Some movies are WAY to loud and the airpods tend to take the edge off. As for Geese not surprised they hay have been artificially over-hyped. https://www.wired.com/story/geese-chaotic-good-marketing-industry-plant/
