You don't (normally) have to train people to be afraid of bears or heights or loneliness or boredom. You also don't (normally) have to train people to have empathy or compassion.

So what are you implying about people who don’t experience these?

    Copying the address from the to field in Mail works, tapping the right cursor marker brings the menu up for me: https://share.icloud.com/photos/047BVu8U62k8SCi5idum580DA

    You could also use the (more awkward) three-finger tap gesture to bring up the history/clipboard overlay.

    iOS Mail is fine for me and I say that as someone at least somewhat particular about her choice of mail client.

    The problem here is Facebook for not letting you copy the address in their app in the first place.

    This invokes the overpopulation myth, the reductive belief that the planet would somehow be “better off” without humans (importantly: how would you make that happen?), and perhaps, projecting the environmental sins of one’s own culture onto all of humanity.

    I don’t know if these count as actual eco-fascism when the target is the entire human population, but it’s certainly adjacent.

    A blood offering to Molech? Sounds like a good time to me! <3

    edit: as I expected, this is a hit with the tumblr mutuals

    (Stop trying to get me to use ChatGPT!!! Smh)

    Molech, a Canaanite god associated with child sacrifice

    Ohh, so that’s why specifically that god is mentioned in FAITH: The Unholy Trinity.

    I want something with a permission model that works the same when accessed over a network share (SMB, ideally NFS) and access over a web interface. Ideally it would have a Mac File Provider sync client and whatever the Windows equivalent is called as well.

    Nextcloud is fine but it’s not that.

    Oh my god, this seems really good and closer to what I want than anything yet. Been looking for something to replace Nextcloud and found nothing good so I might take a look at this.

    In which we once more delve into the world of user interface design.

    Autumn 2023

    Three years ago, I wrote a rant about the problems of our current UI paradigm. The complaints I voiced were hardly new or unique, neither was the text what I'd consider my best writing. It was, honestly, mostly a way to blow off steam. It seems I struck a nerve, though, because it's proven to be one of the most popular texts I've published here. For some time, I've thought about writing a follow-up, and a recent resurgence in the text's popularity prompted me to finally do so.

    What were we talking about?

    Usability, as defined by Wikipedia, is "the capacity of a system to provide a condition for its users to perform the tasks safely, effectively, and efficiently while enjoying the experience." Its relation to software is further specified: "In software engineering, usability is the degree to which a software can be used by specified consumers to achieve quantified objectives with effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction in a quantified context of use." […]

    In short, usability is the ease with which a predetermined task can be accomplished. Consequently, "It looks fresh" isn't usability; it's aesthetics. Likewise, the lack of a specific program feature isn't the same as being able to use it as easily, efficiently and safely as possible. […]
