@forteller Hello!

@forteller lol sorry I've been experimenting with this hand-me-down Apple Watch (largely because my ignorance about wearables is no longer appropriate,) which is where I received the notification for this reply... and chuckled at the fact that it was offering me standard quick replies because there is not a single Mastodon client installed on the watch.

...so I was very astonished to see that the reply worked??? somehow.

LOL.

@Gargron unpaywalled. :unarist: https://davidblue.wtf/drafts/2388D5FE-59A9-488D-BE0A-46050A838811

@chris whoa...

if you haven't already looked into it, iOS 17's App Privacy Reports seem to be a uniquely truthful taddletale on iOS/iPadOS apps' actual network activity.

(wish I had screenshots immediately handy of some examples but I remember specifically discovering that Firefox's app had been consuming more bandwidth per day than the next 20 apps on the list even though I hadn't opened it in months.)

@Gargron oh yes, I do too miss the physical process very much. I never experienced the adaptive choral/rising soundtrack natively (can't remember now what conditions had to be met,) but every time I think about it/hear it, I get immediately emotional remembering how purely/wholesomely exciting consumer technology was going to be.

...and later, guilty, because I absolutely got to live that genuinely democratizing/freely educating moment and was given *so* much more than I've put back in.

closing in on the longest 33 minutes of my whole life.

@chris omg that livery....

very excited to finally experience the C208 rework in Infinite Flight!

FINALLY...

...a callsign WORTHY of my SHEAR SIZE. https://www.flightradar24.com/HEFTY21/36433fb3

@dansup is this in the iOS app?

@forteller oh that's just me, peeing, as I always am when posting.

@ryanhoulihan sorry about that. :BlobhajSadReach:

@dansup lmao you're the best.

@fediversereport I’d like to think I had something to do with this considering I’ve been bothering Nilay about interviewing Eugen since before he launched Decoder hehe. nervous about listening to it, though.

@fediversereport I think it's a significant enough idea for a proper noun!

@Gargron well wishes (especially the restful kind) to you, sir. I can't even begin to imagine what life must be like for you right now but shucks!

frohes fest!
