@koko This thing predated the Raspberry Pi by about 6 years and had nearly all the tinkering fun already built-in!

Apparently the opening message of #WWDC is chasing a brain fart?

I figured when the mouse pointer left the screen, they were jumping straight into the AR headset #wwdc

Laptops so thin that if you drop them, they'll fall through the surface of the earth to orbit the molten core until the glue holding them together melts. #wwdc

Alright, that Mac Pro is a nice looking piece of cheese grating furniture #wwdc

Huh, it's been a good long while since Apple made anything rack-mounted right? #wwdc

What's a "phone" app? (i don't know her) #wwdc

live voicemail transcription: "LESLIE IT'S YOUR GRANDMOTHER PICK UP THE PHONE I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME ON THE ANSWERING MACHINE TAPE PICK UP IT'S YOUR GRANDMOTHER LESLIE" #wwdc

airdrop is that thing where folks get genital pictures on the train right? #wwdc

namedrop reviving the 1998 Palm III dream of exchanging contacts via IR #wwdc

fucking autocorrect #wwdc

Alright, enough snarking on Apple for now, it's time for a meeting

Alright, meeting's done and now I'm looking forward to jogging with an iPad velcro'd to my upper arm to take advantage of the new health features #wwdc

now celebrities can apologize via screenshots of PDFs in the notes app? #wwdc

Looking forward to more five year old games landing on Mac, just like the old days #wwdc

There was a time when just about all I played was World of Warcraft because at least it ran on my MacBook Pro #wwdc

Glad to see Safari catching up to Firefox containers finally #wwdc

Glad to see Safari catching up to Mozilla's cancelled Prism single-site-browser project #wwdc

(still kind of salty that Prism got cancelled) #wwdc

Some say this AirPods Pro guy is still walking circuits around the Apple HQ to this day, hounded by a marching band for eternity #wwdc

I think I'm an outlier, but I don't want to talk to computers #wwdc

@scottaw Yeah, this

@maddiefuzz Haha, that would be a blatant lie. I once told a relative when I was 7 or so that there's no point in talking to me about anything other than computers, before walking away

@Macross HELLO COMPUTER

My opinion of Apple Watch is give me a Pip-Boy or go home #wwdc

I think I once complained at Kevin Lynch at a conference about an early version of Macromedia Flash not supporting Lingo like Director did

(i mention this just to confirm that i am often annoying) #wwdc

@jrconlin The only successful tasks I've carried out over the last 10 years by talking to computers consist of setting timers and leaving unreadable reminders for myself. Everything else is butts.

Okay, well that new 3D elevation compass on the Apple Watch reminds me of Elite Dangerous from back in the day, so I'm interested #wwdc

@Macross Yeah, I've been looking at them for years but never quite taking the plunge. I think part of it is that I've never quite been all-in on the Apple ecosystem, so the Watch looks a bit less-than-useful if I have a Dell laptop and a Samsung phone

@paul Well, originally I meant the original Elite from 8-bits but then I found a prettier Dangerous screenshot 😅

The new AR product is a suppository, I hear. My sources are not good #wwdc

Oh nooo are they doing the thing where they show a picture of your eyes on a screen on the outside oh no #wwdc

Be fully, mindfully immersed in Ming the Merciless' control room with Vision Pro #wwdc

Eyesight on the Apple Vision Pro is going to be so creepy, this is going to be awesome and dystopian #wwdc

The future of work with Apple Vision Pro is amazing #wwdc

so much room for activities in Vision Pro #wwdc

Honestly I can't wait until someone cruises past my house on a unicycle wearing an Apple Vision Pro headset #wwdc

The thing is, Apple managed to convince people that hanging cigarette butts out of your ears was stylish, so I expect this to take off in public #wwdc

@Macross Just watched that last October!

ENTER THE DISNEYVERSE AND NEVER LEAVE, with new Apple Vision Pro #wwdc

PLAY THE GAME WESLEY, with new Apple Vision Pro #wwdc

@robdaemon And when the goggles blink out, they unicycle right into the Willamette river

That Vision Pro headband is going to collect so much cat fur #wwdc

I, too, have studied thousands of heads #wwdc

@deirdresm Exactly! 😆

The high performance battery for Apple Vision Pro is magic #wwdc

I mean, look, I'm not gonna lie, I want to play with an Apple Vision Pro because I'm a colossal dork. Though also, all other VR goggles to date have made me want to hurl within 25 seconds and no way will I buy this with my own money #wwdc

The Apple Vision Pro produces an authentic representation of you, involuntarily revealing your suppressed fursona with volume and depth not possible with traditional methods. #wwdc

I can't wait to ENTER THE MAY RESOURCE TRACKER SPREADSHEET just like Neo #wwdc

Honestly the privacy & security feature I want most from Apple Vision Pro is for it to project an uncanny valley simulation of a pleasant expression while I roll my eyes and glare at folks #wwdc

holy shit $3499 #wwdc

@rinnerer I mean, sure, that's a calculation one might set before a computer to perform

@drahardja Very special prescription magnetic lens attachments sourced from Zeiss, apparently

This thing is gonna sell like hotcakes and it'll be amazing to watch. I'll pick one up in a decade or so #wwdc

@Aminorjourney @drahardja I also have Zeiss multifocal glasses and whew yeah

@antijingoist well, i mean whatever version this turns into by then

@sindarina as foretold in prophecy

@danhon look at the way it charges

@danhon Now I'm picturing the Terminator UI overlay but with "FORMATIVE MOMENT DETECTED" scrolling up

I'm surprised to find my life-long adoration of space exploration getting gradually displaced by more solarpunk & earthy pagan sentiments, the older I get.

@astatide Yeah, I want to plant things, feed crows, fix & repurpose things, see how many batteries & solar panels I can accumulate

@astatide Heh, past trauma from age, current trauma from extractive capitalism, tomAYto tomAHto

@wohali 🤔 I started playing it, I need to play it some more!

I'd also say The Actual Star by Monica Byrne is a neat solarpunky kinda novel that's not not about space exploration at some point

New album from Lanterns on the Lake and this makes me happy

https://lanternsonthelake.bandcamp.com/album/versions-of-us

@dansinker "I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through misery and suffering. So the perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from."

@noracodes I love DIY as much as anyone, but there are so many hours in the day :blobsadleft:​

@tbroyer @slightlyoff Well, Firefox did have them, sorta. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Prism

Meanwhile, the thing for which I'm repeatedly refreshing a UPS tracking number is an e-ink tablet I ordered, because I want to sit outside and write using something with a computer in it but also looks good in the sunlight and has batteries for days.

@mathowie Don't you watch movies by putting the TV screen flat on the floor, sitting around it in a circle staring at each other?

I still need to get around to finding a tattoo artist to draw this "Move Slow & Fix Things" ampersand-turtle on me.

@Macross Yeah, I'm not all that jazzed these days to asphyxiate in Musk's Martian mining tunnels

@cinja Oof, I hope you get some good news in there somewhere

I also just remembered that my fancy cargo e-bike on which I've put over 1000 miles (that's a lot for me) was cheaper than the new Apple Vision Pro.

@ernie Only if it has a passthrough mode that makes everything look like the "Take On Me" video from a-ha

@ernie ooh, or like e-ink but it's viewmaster slides

@dustin I'm getting a BOOX Tab Ultra C, curious about if I'll find the color display handy

@maddiefuzz @Wrewdison @cinja 242 is the number of my beast 👁️ 👁️

@cinja @voltur This makes me want to dig around through my sterlite bins of doom and see if there's something neglected someone else might like more 🤔 👁️

@wynlim Oh, siri activates all the time on my phone, but it's very very rarely intentional
