Don’t know if this is “illegal” around here, but I’m tired of Elmo and his idiocy, and consequently the entire Twitter experience, which has been getting progressively worse. I’m therefore moving from the bird to the elephant, if anyone’s interested I’m at mastodon.social/@nillable

How fun it is to go through the day as a developer with a lower back injury. And even better was how it happened… Slept incorrectly, then during the day coughed the wrong way while on the toilet, and that’s it! The wonders of middle age never cease to amaze me.

1/ Just want to put this news in plain language for people. Senior people at Twitter have resigned in the last 48 hours. We now now why. They said in private Slack channels that @elonmusk is so desperate to recoup his money, he’s taking crazy risks with YOUR privacy and safety.

Hey @AppleSupport how is it possible that if using AirPods Pro, I cannot change the Spatialize Stereo setting if the audio is coming from an app like Twitter or TikTok. Since the audio source is not recognized in the Control Center the video always plays with head tracking
