For anyone curious, this is what the downloads panel looks like.

This, honest to god, is how a pre-installed app (iTunes Store) by #Apple from the newest released OS by #Apple running on a device made by #Apple looks like.

Complete with user-facing HTML entities, cut off text and half-assed dark mode.

What do you miss most about the ’90s?

At some point, #Apple decided to associate my #AirPods with my kid’s account and has been sending me alerts about them travelling with me ever since. I have not been able to figure out how to switch them back.

Wieso wollen jetzt alle Aufrüstung? Aufrüstung ist doch genau, was die Welt in diesen Schlamassel geritten hat… Gibt es da etwas, was ich nicht verstehe?

Peter Capaldi giving us an early hint of what he would be playing next…

Thanks, #Apple, really useful changes. I have been waiting for code completion to stop appearing all my life.

All of the new Star Trek shows suffer from this but Discovery is the worst. Picard irks me because of how badly they treated the legacies of beloved characters. The only show I’m really enjoying is Lower Decks. Kind of a sad state of affairs, considering I’m someone who likes all of Voyager and Enterprise, even the universally maligned episodes.

Keeping up with #discovery feels like a chore now more than ever. I feel like I would lose fan cred if I stopped watching. But I feel less like a fan with each episode. Discovery is so cluttered, both visually and thematically, that it just numbs me. There is nothing that stands out because it wants everything to stand out. There is nothing distinctive worth remembering so all I remember from previous episodes is a big mush.

That was easy™

I like the new #WestSideStory fine but watching it I always had to think back to the version I like the most: the one with Cher playing all the parts. https://vt.ra-phi.ch/watch?v=qLq6k6Ckafg

Nach einer hitzigen Debatte und vielen Wortmeldungen entschied der Gemeinderat von Westgundingen nach einer überlangen Sitzung äusserst knapp mit 41 zu 40 Stimmen bei drei Enthaltungen, dem Attentäter von Langm einen Feldweg zu widmen.

Not really, though.

#Fonts that make it hard to distinguish ‘ from ’ and “ from “ are the worst. I’m looking at you, #Palatino, #SanFrancisco.
Is there any way to restore the system font on macOS to #LucidaGrande (and to Helvetica on iOS)?

WTF, Twitter?

Any other pissed-off #Scroll users out there?

Nein, liebe #StadtpolizeiZH, umgekehrt wird ein Schuh draus: wer hier was toleriert sind wir Fussgänger:innen, die die Autos tolerieren, deren Tote, deren Umweltbelastungen und das seit einem Jahrhundert! #VerkehrSindWir.

Yay, go Doctor Who!
