Last Notes npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Everyone in NYC, stay safe! npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Vacation cannot come fast enough. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren An update on today’s ER visit for those worried. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren New work laptop just dropped and the stickers are already generational npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren I’m not promising I’ll wear them all day, but I did bring the Windows XP Crocs to #GitHubUniverse as always, @nprofile…e6x2 is to blame! npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Kinda wild Apple will kick ICEBlock out of the App Store on safety grounds but the Saudi government app that lets men track women (their “property”) and control their travel is fully allowed even after the Human Rights Watch AND members of the Senate begged them to ban it. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren YOU MADE A DEAL WITH THIS DEVIL TURNS OUT MY DICK'S BIGGER!!!! npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Holy shit @nprofile…73lv they did it!!! npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren So excited to go to both #Oasis shows in Pasadena this weekend, or as I’m calling it “the British Eras Tour but more boys will be there!” npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren HACK THE PLANET!!! Happy Zero Cool Day to all who celebrate! npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Behold the billionth repository created on GitHub. It’s absolutely perfect. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren All the Liquid Glass/Vista jokes aside, if Apple keeps this Finder icon, I’m going to riot! (Photo via @nprofile…p8t7 Hackett) https://512pixels.net/2025/06/wwdc25-macos-tahoe-breaks-decades-of-finder-history/ npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren SHE’S FINALLY HERE!!! npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren TAYLOR SWIFT GOT HER MASTERS BACK!!! npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren I cannot stop laughing that they are going back to the HBO Max name. Like, it’s just comical to have the best brand in entertainment and then jettison it on purpose. And now you have to go redo it all. Just hilarious. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Amazing column from Dan. Huge loss for Macworld and its readers, but he goes out with a fucking bang! npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren #OSU’s Open Source Lab has a shortfall of funding ($250k) that if they don’t raise, means the lab will be shutdown. Federal grants are a cluster right now and big donors might come through but in the interim, if you can donate or appeal to your company to donate, plz do! #opensource #osl h/t @nprofile…nvmc https://osuosl.org/blog/osl-future/ npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren You want to know why visionOS has no devs/apps? A big reason that I’ve long argued is that Apple abused the goodwill it had wirh its developer community over capricious IAP/linking strategies. Apple assumed devs needed Apple more than Apple needed devs. And for the iPhone, maybe that’s true. But for new platforms, it isn’t. When you actively kick someone every time they come to hang out, don’t be surprised when they don’t come to your house anymore. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren My position for close to 15 years has been that it’s unconscionable for Apple to collect a commission off of purchases made outside the App Store. I’m glad the court had enough too. This is good for the ecosystem. There are still valid reasons to use the built-in IAP model. But as I railed about the Patreon situation last summer, enough is enough. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren I rarely am in favor of discouraging indie apps from proliferating but here is a truth: Apple needs to Sherlock apps like Bartender or Ice in the next version of macOS. It’s been 5 years since we’ve had the notch on Macs and not having a native way to manage menu bar icons is beyond ridiculous. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren @nprofile…66kr I think the interesting thing here is a) BenQ will likely sell this for less than $1299 on sale too, so if you get in the $1000 range, that’s still compelling for a TB display. And B) many of us would like to use our monitor with a non-Mac source. This can do it. I think I’ll wait for the 6K Asus to compare & I think the $800 non-TB Asus might be a better value if you’re not doing Studio Display, but as someone who wants another 5K but refuses to buy another SD before the refresh, I get it npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren @nprofile…fv4z @nprofile…0z2e I mean, I agree. But you can argue you can’t get to JS without HTML. But as much as I love HTML more than JavaScript, I’d agree it is the most important. But HTML is way up there for me. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Love this from @nprofile…0z2e about why HTML is a language (fuck your semantics) and also the most important programming language ever. https://www.wired.com/story/html-is-actually-a-programming-language-fight-me/ npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah from my family to yours! npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren There is no restaurant chain more pathetic and terrible than Krystal. Imagine White Castle but somehow shittier. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Big news! We’ve got a new free tier of GitHub Copilot right inside of VS Code! https://github.blog/news-insights/product-news/github-copilot-in-vscode-free/ npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren @nprofile…du8v thank you! And no, I had looked up logistics in advance but I pulled the trigger on tickets, hotel and flights from my seat on the airplane that was departing Seoul on Saturday night Seoul time (so like 3:30pm Friday in America). So it really did all come together with 48 hours notice npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren I don’t know what day it is but I’m here!!! #tserastourvancouver npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Back at the airport, a mere 17 hours after I was last here! Next stop, Vancouver! #ErasTourVancouver final show let’s go!! npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Fuck it. Doing Eras Tour. About to lose WiFi for 10 hours. Plz don’t explode, Canada! npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Thanks to @@nprofile…9d9k, I was caught up with the days news despite being offline for like 14 hours. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren 10:00am - My mom tells me my old passport was found in the parking lot of the doctors office. Of course, this is now too late as I’ve already had my old one canceled. RIP good photo npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Anyway, if you thought you had a bad day, please feel better it wasn’t mine npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren At this point, I’m still planning on going to Seoul unless there is some sort of grounding. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren 12:00am - I make an appointment at the Atlanta Passport Agency for 8:30am. Shoutout to my mom who had a copy of my birth certificate, as my other copy was 3000 miles away in Seattle npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren 8:15am - my mom (who has driven 45 minutes in traffic to the doctor’s office where I was on Sunday) reports they do not have my passport. I proceed to get a new one npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren The last 14 hours: a thread 🧵 npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren @nprofile…qhc8 and that’s fair! I'll even help you if I can! npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren This is the most butt-hurt platform. Someone yells at me for posting a link to something paywalled (and sorry, it’s skill issue if you can’t get past it or find an alternative) and when I point out that I don’t work for them, they throw a temper tantrum and block. Block whoever you want. But I don’t work for you. I don’t answer to any of you. I’ll post links to where I want to post. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren RIP Intel https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-02/intel-ceo-pat-gelsinger-retires-amid-chipmaker-s-turnaround-plan npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren The heater upstairs at my parents house just went out. It’s currently 29 degrees outside. So we’re improvising. Behold my bed for the evening. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Someone plz drop me the latest Thanksgiving emoji pasta so I can scandalize my extended family who already think I’m a heathen. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Ok #lazyweb - I’ve been doing Duolingo for the first time in like 11 years and it is sort of spammy and I don’t know how much I’m learning but they are about to make me subscribe to Super. But are there any better alternatives? My fear is I’m not learning that much. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Amazing new error message at ATL npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren After less than 36 hours, I’m back at the airport but this time things seem to be going much more smoothly. Fingers crossed! npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren I want a mobile app where I can restart my Macs on my local network (or Tailscale, I guess) that isn’t a VNC client. I know this will never happen because it is the antithesis of everything Apple makes. But it would be nice if I could automate updates/reboots from an iPhone or iPad app. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Congrats to Marc and crew! Insta-buy! npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Literally spent my whole life watching Mike Tyson fight on TV. Can’t believe I’m going to watch him throw a fight to that annoying kid from Vine. The internet is amazing. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Years ago, I made the observation on an old podcast of mine (prob Rocket) that Jake Paul has pube hair as his beard and today, I cannot unsee this. I described his facial hair perfectly. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren I am absolutely going to be glued to watch the Jake Paul/Mike Tyson fight tonight (I’m already watching the undercard on Netflix in back of my Uber) and I make no apologies for it. Content is content! Fuck it! Let the assholes bash each other into more brain damage! npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren The guy sitting next to me on my flight is watching Fox News silently on his IFE and I’m sorry but I’m a very petty person so I’m watching MSNBC (even tho I’m over their whole thing), also silently, just to balance things out. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren It’s always fun to be at the airport on your birthday to assess if any of the people checking your ID will notice it is in fact your birthday. So far 0 for 3 but everyone was very nice so that honestly is more important. But also, yes: I am spending my birthday in the Sky Club! npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren In a lot of ways, today doesn’t feel like 2016 to me - it feels like 2004 (which was my first election). The despair and heartbreak I feel today feels like that. The anger too. 2016 was a system shock. But 2004, the electorate decidedly rejected the values I held dear in favor of a proven con man and cadre of cronies and criminals. And there is something much more painful about that reality. When you have to acknowledge your work and your values weren’t enough. And maybe your tactics were wrong. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Once again: we’re allowed to be fucking heartbroken and angry. I’m not saying that we can be mad forever. I’m saying we’re allowed to be angry and sad today. All this “now it’s time to work” bullshit is just that. Bushit. People are allowed to feel what they feel. And be fucking honest: the work wasn’t enough this time. At all. At all. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren I’m not going to pretend to be OK or not worried or live in some delusional fantasy that the inevitable isn’t happening. We all know how this movie ends. And we’re allowed to be upset about it. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren I’m going to be sick. I hate all of this so much. Fuck all of this. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Note to future self: when you karaoke too hard and decide you can’t take your 1:30pm flight, plz reconsider rebooking for 5:30am the following morning. As it means leaving for the airport at 3:55am. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Happy #GitHubUniverse everyone! The keynote is about to start and it’s going to be SO GOOD!! Tune in online for so much cool news — you’ll see me and @damovisa and friends after the keynote and throughout the day on stream! https://www.youtube.com/live/5ov2NYBdGSw?si=73gjck633Fe2EIi6 npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren My Waymo is celebrating Halloween. We got in and the Exorcist theme started playing. Iconic. So cool. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren It happened. The one rose gold item I don’t covet. In fact, you couldn’t pay me $100,000 to wear this. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren @npub1p9e…qcnv thank you!

Yes. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren I’m posting skeets and toots at the same time. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Battery life on iOS 18 on my 15 Pro Max is noticeably worse than iOS 17.6.1. After two days I can confidently say that. Anyone else? npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren I understand that this is going to upset people but bffr, if you have 270 active users, that isn’t sustainable. I understand why Mozilla experimented with this. I equally understand why this isn’t something they could do in perpetuity with this low of a number of users. https://mozilla.social/@mozilla/113153943609185249 npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren @npub1tgt…68dp this is why I need to see it in person! npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Waiting on ordering my watch until I can see the colors in person (and still seriously considering the Hermes option, I’m sorry I’m the worst) but I got my phone and AirPods Max. And a $50 clear case I’ll despise and use twice before going naked and a 2m MagSafe. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren @npub1ev7…u0fp that’s good feedback and is something I genuinely worry about. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren @npub15ml…2w4s I hate that you made me look this up because now I want a $1900 watch npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren I’m very conflicted about what Apple Watch I’m going to buy. I have been getting the stainless steel watched since 2015 but I’m sort of interested in the rose gold aluminum. But will I regret that? Should I just get the “gold” titanium. I’m conflicted! Also the Modern Buckle bands FineWoven and not gold hardware matched, which is so annoying. I don’t know what to buy! npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren End of an era. I literally started reading this site in middle school. RIP. https://www.anandtech.com/show/21542/end-of-the-road-an-anandtech-farewell npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren This story is so insane. I can sort of understand how someone could get mistakenly separated from a group (but also, you’re on a mountain. Count better!) but to wait like 8 hours before calling search and rescue (after abandoning your own search) is just really terrible. https://www.npr.org/2024/08/29/nx-s1-5093882/colorado-hiker-left-behind-office-retreat-mountain npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Thanks @npub1lsl…9c2x for the push to make this art npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Ngl, this is the greatest image I’ve ever seen created from an AI prompt. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren So I just checked out of curiosity — and forgive me if this has already been litigated like 24 hours ago — but Patreon doesn’t even use Apple’s IAP as the payment processor. If you sign-up for a creator inside the app it defaults to whatever your existing payment method is. So for me, that’s PayPal. So that makes the 30% commission even less defensible. Like I’m genuinely laughing at this now. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren @npub16xj…etam fully agree npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren I think the only way Apple or any App Store should take a cut from these types of apps are if they are professing the payments and then you can charge your 5% or whatever. I feel the same way about Apple trying to take a cut of people who buy ads on Facebook in the Facebook app. But the real solution, I think, is for Patreon and Substack to just leave the App Store. Fuck it. Leaving is the only way to maybe win. Yes, that might make it worse for your users. Fuck it. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren @npub1sfh…zcch I mean it’s 1/1000 of their services revenue, however that is expressed. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren People like me are too deep into the Apple ecosystem to ever reasonably leave. Until/unless they fully neuter macOS, I’m here for life. And I’ll realistically never use Android. But the next generation of users might use an iPhone, but they also rely on the web and services from other companies. They use Chromebooks. They don’t have a reason to “root” for Apple the same way I did as a kid. And that’s how platforms change and ecosystems fall off. https://mastodon.social/@film_girl/112955398796903001 npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren The richest company in the world (congrats guys, you’re back on top) being fucking rent-seeking pieces of shit isn’t going to earn your precious services more $$$, it’s just going to convince a whole new generation of users to avoid the App Store for all payments and have a distaste towards your brand. https://mastodon.social/@caseyliss/112949682879529175 npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Bffr Apple, this is so anti-user for absolutely no reason. MacOS is still the best desktop operating system but Apple seems content on trying to change that every year as they make decisions that are bad and also diametrically opposed to anything a pro user would actually want. https://9to5mac.com/2024/08/06/macos-sequoia-screen-recording-privacy-prompt/ npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren We haven’t had one of these in a while but today is “don’t look at your 401K day.” Just don’t look at it. Don’t look at your Coinbase/Robinhood either. Just don’t look! npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren @npub100x…tadk yes! yes I do! I was SO hot at 19.

And I mostly agree with that. But I always add the caveat of "Homicide: Life on the Street" because to me, you don't get "The Wire" without Homicide. You just don't. Anyway, after many years of delays and music license stuff, Homicide is coming to Peacock next month and in HD and 4K! This is fantastic news for all of us who have wanted to show our friends top tier television https://deadline.com/2024/07/homicide-life-on-the-street-stream-peacock-1236016316/ npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren I posted this to Twitter and it doesn’t really apply to Mastodon b/c Mastodon (also true of Threads) but the sentiment remains true: npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Lmao. The Morning Show is already filming season 4. You know they are so mad to have missed this week. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren My shoes for today are def on point npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren My unironic argument since 2010 has been that the new Citizen Kane is “The Social Network” and it just gets more true every passing year. https://werd.social/@ben/112801746884335530 npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren This is so bogus. UTM SE gets into the App Store after it was accepted into @npub1tgn…s68h’s Alt Store but iDOS 3 is still not allowed. Just bogus. https://litchie.com/2024/04/new-hope?updated npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren A wonderful coworker found the most “me” toilet seat of all time. I think it’s too expensive for me to buy but I dream of shitting on old tech this way. https://www.baileyhikawa.com/products/2gtrash-phones-toilet-seat npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren @npub1xpu…vvfy I’ll just keep it unlocked. This will be a secondary Apple Watch I just use for music and other stupidity. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren I regret to inform you all that we are 13 days away from the 20th anniversary of Garden State’s US release. This is one of those anniversaries that makes me feel old. And I generally don’t feel old. But this one is going to get me. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren I took a 3.5 year old to see Despicable Me 4 and came out to about 40 texts and was very confused about what what happening. No comment on the rest of it but DM4 is pretty cute. npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren I changed my profile photo. I couldn't last with the AI stuff. Changed the photo tho -- LMK if I should go back to the sunglasses photo npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren Great post from @npub1w9a…04m0 on what we shouldn't have to do, but given what happened to The Hairpin and TUAW and whatnot, we probably should https://tedium.co/2024/07/10/websites-domains-spam-prevention/ npub15mpherevzueg8v2ls60ez4xk54yz49cuxv2cf2c252p9wrnlwytqez0l87 Christina Warren I love to shitpost so I changed my Slack avatar at work.
