  Smartphones badly need trivial controls on blocking/not-blocking unknown callers. Including scheduling. I should be able to just poke my phone and arrange "don't silence unknown callers from 10-11am tomorrow" the same way I update my alarm. I can get partway here with Shortcuts on iOS but not all the way. Maybe I'm missing some things.

  lol ok Marco Arment, I guess we know where you stand on justice related issues now (idk why I still have his RSS in my feed, tbh, I don't use any of his apps, he was just a good Apple blogger way BITD or something?)

  After following 78 and 287 for a little while, it seems to have finally landed, at Somerset Airport (which is also _relatively_ close to the start of its tracked flight path, which pretty obviously picked up after takeoff) #NewJersey

  @ivory@tapbots.social any guesses as to why this toot refuses to show up (on iPadOS)? Triggers the “uh idk chief, try a browser?” popup (if searched for directly) or is just mysteriously invisible when I’m viewing one of the replies to it. https://wandering.shop/@fugueish/116903557849673420

  Some really interesting divergences in @ricci@discuss.systems’ hashtag tool, with a semi popular tech nerd instance as the medium and my home of #SocialCoop as the smol: https://tag-federation.online/#tag=caturday&servers=mastodon.social,infosec.exchange,social.coop - Caturday broadly as visible here as on infosec.exchange, both being a sizable majority of m.s.

  @infobeautiful@vis.social why were people predicting a /downslope/ for so long, seems like a bizarre forecast. “Oh, solar rates have been climbing modestly for the last few years but I’m sure it’s just a passing fad…”

  Invoke 3.0 is out! It's one of those backwards-compatible-in-all-but-name releases, though it does drop support for Python <3.9. https://www.pyinvoke.org/changelog.html#3.0.0 I say "in all but name" because there is a minor API change, and it affects Fabric, which has also gotten a tiny packaging metadata release, 3.2.3, to mark it incompatible with Invoke >=3.0. (And Fabric is now the last of my projects not to get the pyproject.toml / drop now-very-ol...

  Idly wondering how folks who are deep into personal web archiving (i.e. keeping full clones of pages or sites they've bookmarked) handle sharing those snapshots with friends or the general public, especially in this age of abusive bot scrapers. Guessing the answer is "keep it all behind lock and key, and deal with the friction that represents on both ends"? Maybe some form of ephemeral/unguessable/unlisted sharing URL? (and obviously, bespoke tactics like Anubis.) I&a...

  #Subnautica: in the bag. er…in the watertight locker? Game very good, glad I gave it a shot despite not being a big Swimming Game person nor big into Creepy Alien Jumpscares. If that describes you, you should also consider giving it a shot!

  Caught up on my sleep with a vengeance, it's utterly perfect weather outside, and it's the weekend. Naturally I was then reminded within ten minutes of waking up that - oh right, everything /else/ is still on fire and looking to get worse, not better 🫠
