Toots are ephemeral, subject to deletion on a whim.

Born at 323 ppm. Living at the crossroads of the Butlerian Jihad and Idiocracy.

I've been terminally online for ~40 years, long before the big endless scroll. I've seen things some people wouldn't believe. 1200 baud modems on fire from Usenet flame wars. I watched c-news servers stutter at the mere mention of Kibo. All those moments will be lost in AI slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.

I'm not sure why, but Toys R Us carries a bunch of vinyl records.

@cks Swipe to camera does NOT enable people to go from camera app to looking at your photos, unless you are looking at the camera right when doing the swipe to camera screen.

@cks You can do that (locked, looking at whatever is on the screen) without it auto unlocking by face. I have to swipe up from the bottom to have the Face ID do its thing. Swipe one way for camera while still locked, or swipe the other way for a dashboard thing.

@cks You're already looking at the screen when unlocking though, unless you do blind unlocks with it in your pocket for some sneaky recording reason.

@CommonSparrow Stahp, you’re falling off the of the far end of the bell curve and making people question their life choices :)

@unchartedworlds that counts, given the recent news article trying to blame some down economy on people not upgrading yearly

If a device is used many years that’s a good thing imo

I'm still rocking a 2020 era iPhone 12 mini. Runs iOS 26 just fine.
