I'm playing around with Offer activities in Fedify. The AP Vocab provides this, easy peasy.

✅ Alice OFFERS Book to Bob
✅ Bob ACCEPTS Alice's OFFER

Or:

✅ Bob OFFERS Rotten Tomato to Alice
❌ Alice REJECTS Bob's OFFER

----------------

But I'm not clear if this is right:

❓Alice ANNOUNCES OFFER of Labubu to Followers?

❓Bob OFFERS $10 for Labubu to Alice?

❓ Alice ACCEPTS Bob's OFFER of $10 for Labubu?

✅ Alice OFFERS Labubu to Bob

✅ Bob ACCEPTS Labubu

듀크 뉴켐 포에버라는 게임이 있습니다. 제작 발표 이후 출시가 미루고 미루고 미루어져 게임계의 묵시록의 봉인 중 하나로 불릴 녀석이었습니다. 여러 우여곡절 끝에 게임은 개발기간 15년 하고도 5개월의 끝에 결국 출시되었죠. 물론 세간의 평은 좋지 않았습니다. 시대착오적인 컨셉과 디자인, 형편없는 게임성과 버그로 가득찬 덩어리 등등. 온갖 악평을 받았죠. 그리고 실제 그런 평가를 받아 마땅한 게임이기도 했고요. 그럼에도, 제가 이 게임에 긍정적인 평을 하고 싶은 부분은 출시 약속을 지켰다는 겁니다. 15년 5개월이 걸렸지만요.

갤럽, 트럼프 눈치 봤나…88년 역사 ‘지지율 조사’ 전격 중단 www.hani.co.kr/arti/interna... "갤럽은 올해부터 “개별 정치인에 대한 지지율·호감도 조사를 중단하겠다”고 밝혔는데, 이는 공교롭게도 도널드 트럼프 미국 대통령의 지지율이 지난해 12월 36%로 2기 취임 뒤 최저치를 기록한 뒤 나온 발표여서 배경에 관심이 쏠린다. 2기 취임 직후 트럼프 대통령은 47%의 지지율을 기록했는데, 거기 비하면 11%포인트나 떨어진 수치다."

운명의 순간을 받아들이는 지혜

1. 모든 일에는 의미가 있다
2. 지나친 통제는 행복을 앗아간다
3. 현재를 있는 그대로 받아들여라
4. 작은 변화도 큰 기회가 될 수 있다
5. 불확실성을 두려워하지 말자
6. 겸손한 마음으로 인생을 바라보자
7. 실패는 성장의 디딤돌이다
8. 긍정적인 마인드가 길을 만든다
9. 선택은 내 몫이지만 결과는 함께 만든다
10. 지금 이 순간을 소중히 여기자

Started the day with a call from a client's intern, a bit full of himself: "Hey, you need to fix this... the network is pretty slow this morning, can you check?"

I take a look: lots of local IPs pulling heavy data from Apple servers. Me: "macOS 26.3 just dropped, are all your Macs updating at once?"
Him: "Well, obviously. It's an important update. We're doing our iPhones and iPads simultaneously too."

That’s 27 devices updating at the same time on a connection that caps out physically at 60 Mbps.
I explain the bottleneck.
His reply: "Can't you just ask Apple to use 'extra bandwidth' to push them through? They need to be done by 09:30 because that's when the real work starts and we want updated machines."

Me, confused: "No. However, I can prioritize work traffic and throttle the updates to use the leftover bandwidth. But they will definitely not be done by 09:30."

I broke his brain.
He kept insisting on "extra bandwidth" as if it were a premium feature to toggle on demand.
I explained that in their case, bandwidth is a physical limit (FTTC degraded to 60 Mbps), not a software cap, and certainly not controlled by Apple.

He finally understood, thanked me, and closed with a cryptic gem: "Sorry, I'm not an IT guy, but by now I've learned that tech products usually have limits imposed by price, not by physics, which are usually way ahead."

Basically, the technical limitations of the past have been overcome, only to be replaced by commercial ones.

And they call it evolution...

@stefanoStefano Marinelli This is an important reminder that most people are not tech people, and gives us excellent food for thought and to think about how we communicate about technology with non-techy people.

I've had many similar calls with some of my customers. It almost always ends well and the customers ends up having learned something new!

i'm looking into adding a new theme mode that decreases the use of accent color and uses grayscale more. you can set any color as an accent color. and you can decide whether you like the gradient in the background (i don't). meanwhile twitter doesn't have the capacity to support more than two colors (did they run out of grok-code-fast-1 tokens?)

that's why nicolium (formerly pl-fe) > x (formerly twitter)

DCinvestor on Twitter: looks like @X got rid of "Dim" mode 😭

why @nikitabier why??

i loved that mode because it was less harsh on the eyes than white text on a pure black background (especially on modern OLEDs which have true blacks)

Nikita Bier's reply: We don't have the capacity to support more than two colors right now. But feedback noted: we are looking into lightening the black on web.

Where are people with passkey adoption these days for personal use? Conceptually they seem great, but I'm worried the UX around them seems a bit wonky. I'd likely be storing them in my 1password which syncs between desktop & mobile, which seems like the other major UX issue. Should I be using them more?

경기도에서 아파트 주민들이 오픈채팅방서 집값 담합하는 거 잡아냈다고 합니다. 하남 성남 용인 다 걸쳐있고 2~3월 폭탄민원으로 5천이상 올려야 한다는 이야기, 민원넣고 전화문자 하는거 그냥 한동안 해야할 루틴이라고 생각한다는 이야기, 작년 10월부터 12월까지 약 15명 인원이 폭탄 민원과 전화 문자로 매일 확인체크해서 그래도 앞자리 10억으로 바뀌었다고 생각한다는 이야기부터 “20억대 얘기중에 최소 15억은 가야되는 건데 11억 12억 이것도 다 조사해야합니다”라고 매매자 색출시도까지…

The US has charged ZERO co-conspirators. FBI docs label multiple people as co-conspirators in child sex trafficking. The DOJ refuses to prosecute.

Meanwhile Norway, UK, France, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland & Slovakia have all launched investigations or charges.

has done nothing.

But there is something we can do, and it requires public pressure.
