I just noticed you can’t a hyperlink to text in the Journal app on iOS. I wonder why that is? 🤔

Whenever someone of BlueSky quotes something, it shows as an RE element at the bottom of the post … is that from#BridgyFed?
Is there any way to expand that into the actual message, either through the bridge or any clients that fetch the content and render it?

Once again I have some audiobooks that I want to sync to the iPhone but unlike ebooks they don’t just sync when you drop them into the Books app, you have to connect via cable - only since I am on the beta it requires a separate update that doesn’t seem to be working. So no audiobooks tonight … […]

My Hue Lightbulb automations broke, at first i thought it was the version of iOS but it seems like the app itself has changed and no longer has support for some operations.

Did an OS update last night and this morning there is a #telstra network outage, so I spent way too long trying to figure out what happened with the update before figuring out it was actually working fine and just the network that was down

So many RSS Bridge connections are getting blocked as more and more sites add CloudFlare. Another nail in the coffin it would seem.

Am I expecting too much from the new #siri? If I say, “create a file”, she can’t do that. The Files app should give her access and should be able to create items in it - I would think.
She can create a note but she can’t manage a file. Maybe that is still coming.
She doesn’t seem to be able to […]

I have not yet seen a way to distinguish whether a request made in the new Siri app is handled locally or sent the cloud. If the first part is handled locally but a follow-up does need extra processing does the whole conversation then get passed to the cloud for context. Maybe there isn’t a way […]

I got my first notification from Safari’s new Notify Me feature; it seems to work pretty well. I haven’t seen a way to manage all the pages you are ‘watching’ at once which would be quite useful.
Without that it seems you have to actually go back to the page and you can see the notification […]

I saw Blender for iPad has been stalled (at least for this year). It would have been cool, but I think Blender for the Vision Pro would be even better.

Most houses around here have solar installed. It would be pretty cool if each solar installation came preinstalled with mesh relay for something like #meshtastic.

When you get given a bunch of search results, particularly image search results and they are close but not quite what you want - one useful feature would be to be able to select the top 5 or 10 and redo the search based on those.
Alternatively select a bunch and exclude those as they obviously […]

Fell into an AI 80's remix trap on YouTube and now that's all the algorithm is giving me, but I am not too upset about it. Some of them are really good.

I am not sure if it’s been answered before - probably - but for any #onepiece fans; if Brooke got armament haki, could he use it in his spirit form? I suppose in a more general sense, does haki bind to the body (extended to physical objects) or the soul?

Putting aside the general animosity toward digital currencies, what would happen if Apple added a cryptocurrency (like Bitcoin) to the iPhone Wallet in the next iOS release …
Could the network handle such an influx of traffic?
The value of that token/asset would presumably climb dramatically […]

I wonder if anyone still uses Swatch internet time? I remember they had watches and everything and then it suddenly disappeared but it looks like it is still alive.

Maybe I can make a little Scriptable widget for my phone.

One thing I do miss about being on the mastodon.social instance was that I would more often see the client that people were posting with. Apparently it only shows for people on your own instance. It’s not a big thing but I like it.
