.. and if it's not just guesswork - who defines what makes up a silly trick and what's maybe actually a very personal kind of ritual?

#healsRants #healsQuestionsTheUniverse

Researching cartomancy and stumbling inadvertently over the history of Tarot cards used for divination.

It's a bit disheartening when you read "pretty much all claims of any occult links were debunked as made up". I guess that's good PR to sell them cards..

But if it's all made up, why do they seemingly work?
I've done tarot readings for friends in the past so.. was that all just me doing good guesswork?

Wait.. tieflings are allowed tails right?

Hey friends, I decided time's well overdue for me to finally play the original #Castlevania games in order.

I am an outspoken lore nerd and I love the franchise, backstory and ofc. the iconic music.

Question being: best way to do this?

I could go for emulators, or even see if my Analog Pocket supports all the required platforms.

Or I could opt for the #CastlevaniaAnniversaryCollection on my Switch, which hopefully would get a similar if not as vintage experience..

Thoughts?

After pulling out my hair all night I finally found a workaround for NavigationLink being decently broken and horribly unreliable in #SwiftUI on #iOS17

Everything wrong with non-modal editors / people not realising they can do something with the keyboard 20 times faster..

What's wrong with CV, yp or CMDC CMDV that #Nova needs not one but three extensions to duplicate the current selection or selected lines!?

It’s been 23 days since my ”data inquiry” to Bose that was in fact me requesting to delete my account..

Still no reply or reaction other than a confirmation that they received the request and would process it within 30 days.

Why do you make it so hard to get rid of an account???

Oh my word.. when TF did #YouTube get infected by #LiquidGlass design philosophies? That control bar is almost twice the height it used to be for no reason X.X

I’m curious again.. can anyone linke me towards any kind of report from the #EU regarding how the Digital Markets Act has so far improved things according to their demands?

All I can see is that most of the so called “gatekeepers” simply disable features inside the EU that they would have to change / extend or open up based on #DMA regulations.

“Bitmap Brothers: Gods, original game ROM - 126.2MB”

I just so happen to have that game for my Amiga A500 on a single floppy disk

“Flughafen München erneut gesperrt wegen ‘möglicher dronen'”

… wie kann denn ein Flughafen mit all der modernen Technik nicht sagen ob das eine Drone oder eine Ente mit aufgeschnalltem Kopflicht ist?!

Wenn wir schon soweit sind schlage ich vor den Flughafen einfach nachts zu schließen - wäre auch vorteilhaft für die Arbeitszeiten aller Beteiligten.

Oddly I don't feel any inherent need or drive to update from macOS 15 (Sequoia) to macOS 26 (Tahoe)..

In a historic retrospect that's a first for me since macOS 10.4 (Tiger)

#macOS26 #healsQuestionsTheUniverse

So I'm biting granite trying to create an #automation which will set / clear my @tailscale exit-node either based on my iPhone's current SSID/BSSID or alternatively when entering/exiting a geofence.

Tools at my disposal:
• Tailscale client on-device so anything Tailscale offers
• iOS #ShortcutsApp
• @pushcut including Automation server
• #HomeAssistant
• evil code witch skills (I know my way around system & server administration as well as app development and I'm comfortable in a terminal)

iOS Shortcut automations could in theory solve the problem but to protect their user's privacy Apple enforces a "Running your automation" banner-notification whenever an automation triggers on geofence / wifi connect/disconnect - I don't want that banner.

Pushcut can't run on-device actions without displaying a notification, though I'd be fine with a "unknown wifi, enable exit node?" popup.

HomeAssistant knows my phones SSID but it updates at a glacial frequency so that one is pretty much useless.

Tailscale on it's own has great ACLs and Grants as well as on-demand connection which would solve half of my issue but they don't support on-demand exit-nodes.

So none of the three above is able to solve the problem in a satisfying way and I'm at my knowledge's end here but up for suggestions. I'd even go as far as run my own MDM (again) if that would allow me to have the simple scenario of "always connected to tailscale, force automated use of an exit-node when connected to an unknown wifi".

Okay who at #apple though that making the #liquidglas #icondesign something that the developer has to render into their icon and thus forcing it on OS versions prior to #ios26 was a good idea??

I’m on 18.5 and #ParcelApp just updated their #TestFlight to include the new design..

Can I have #logseq but with a working mobile app that's not an afterthought?

Why TF #endof10.. why are we playing doomsday yet again?

Windows10 won’t go anywhere.. same as 8.1, 8, 7 and Bista didnt and there’s still people out there happily using them with the appropriate precautions.

Mkay.. so is “Quieter Public” the new unlisted?

Yes I noticed my post options changed while I was in hospital but I never got around to ask how the new ones differ?

Doing the math and I'm still sitting here shaking my head how people manage to pull up statements like “100hrs/month on GeForce-Now is not enough for the price they ask for”.

I'm really wondering, when was the last time any of them managed to spend a whole 6 days¹ of any month doing nothing - like, not eating, using the toilet or anything - but playing a game / games.

Honestly.. I'd struggle to find people that have enough spare time, let alone mental capacity for that..

¹ 6 days based on being awake 16hrs per day, exclusively streaming and playing games from GFN while sleeping for the remaining 8

This lady beat black rot a few times last year (you can see the clipped leaves still) - and what's her first action in this new year? MORE FLOWER SPIKE!!!!

I want leaves for you please....

Okay #universe tell me what's gotten into to you to sell "left handed sketchbooks” at a premium??

Like, hi, I AM left handed and let me tell you I can take a regular sketchbook, flip it and start at the last page and MAGIC it becomes a leftie #sketchbook.

In China braucht ein kleines Bergdorf 3 Jahre um mit einfachsten Werkzeugen einen 7km langen Kanal in eine Felswand zu schlagen um das Dorft mit einer entfernten Quelle zu verbinden.

I Deutschland brauchen wir mehr als ein Jahr um auf einer 500 Meter lagen Vollsperring gefühlt keinen Fortschritt zu machen und die Baustelle dann auf das nächste Jahr zu schieben.

Okay I was aware that Apple Intelligence - thankfully - wasn't available in most of Europe or if you weren't using US-English but why on earth does that mean that I can't use Siri anymore if I'm on macOS 15.1??

Like.. not AI stuff I don't want? Great! Just leave Siri the way it was?

[EDIT] okay the Siri-toggle isn't disabled, it just automatically turned off when updating.. now that's good usability there.

I wonder if @ivory has any magic to properly display my posts if I have the format set to 'markdown' on the instance my account is hosted on?

I seems toots I make from it ar send over as-is and the server then treats them as markdown (and the web frontend properly displays them that way) but #IvoryApp will just strip things like asterisks and underscores withouth applying any formatting at all (links seem to work though)

I wonder.. Undocking the Switch lowers the frequency from 768Mhz to 307Mhz but does this really justify that a game like Harvestella that runs great at 1080p AND 720p regresses to what I can only describe as "upscaled 320x200" when played handheld (the regular Switch has an internal 720p screen)?

Dear @imazing while I think the new theme and updated features of #iMazing3 look really promising and the 50% upgrade discount is a generous offer for all of us existing #iMazing users.

*BUT*

What on earth has gotten into you to turn an “as many devices as you own, forever” personal license into a dumpster fire of “connect up to X devices[which will be linked to the license for the lifetime of the device!]” with the option of a "connect up to X different devices per year [which will be linked for that duration]“ *subscription* model..

iMazing used to be a great product but are you so desperately struggling for sales?

For professional and enterprises users I can see this being a perfectly valid use case but for a private individual that manages the devices for themselves and their elderly family members it's literally an unusable scenario because you either have to purchase new device slots any time a phone is switched in the household or pay for a subscription that you'll only ever really need to make use of every 2-3 years - very, very anti-private-customer setup right there.

I'm glad the game is doing well but since when are the 'origins of the [point and click] genre' on PC??

#pointandclick #healsQuestionsTheUniverse https://mastodon.social/@silverspookgames/112476072844835290

I guess... it's time to find another #privacy focussed search engine?

Any suggestions?

I wander if @ivory would be able to interface with a #sharkey account or if it's very specific to the #mastodon #API?

It's been decades, why is “made for developers by developers" still a slogan..

Think really hard, when was the last time you used a developer tool that was made by a baker, accountant or UX designer? Right.
