For $599 retail / $499 edu, I think MacBook Neo is going to sell incredibly well to people who historically chose the base MacBook Air config. Schools, people buying a homework computer for their kids, people who need a basic travel laptop, home users who aren’t generating a lot of data or keep everything in iCloud. #Apple #MacBook #MacBookNeo https://www.apple.com/macbook-neo/

“Incel” is a misnomer. They’re not involuntarily celibate. They’re voluntarily such pieces of sh*t that nobody wants anything to do with them except other toxic bros.

The Scouts are discontinuing a merit badge in response to Executive Order 14173, essentially an anti-DEI order.
What is the offending badge, you ask?
“Citizenship in Society” 🫠🫠🫠

I got a kick out of this Jetta on the way home. The rear window clearly used to say “WE ARE CHARLIE” but the window wipers removed most of it, so they also wrote “RIP Charlie Kirk” off to the side. The cannabis sticker is the icing on the cake. Yuppie stoner MAGA. 🫠

@IceCubesApp@mastodon.online If I start composing a toot and then rotate to landscape, the whole app becomes non-responsive and then crashes after a few seconds. I’m on the latest TestFlight but I’ve seen it in past versions as well.

SCOTUS will likely rule on Trump’s tariffs today so brace yourselves.

So he thinks a foreign military should intervene to remove a bad president. Interesting.

1000% this. Swift basics are approachable. Just stay away from asynchronous code and other advanced concepts, like building GUI apps, and you’ll be fine. https://mastodon.social/@krzyzanowskim/1157131

@fahrni@curmudgeon.cafe I worked my way through a bunch of Swift lessons by Paul Hudson and they were great, but I kinda hit a point where I felt like I was biting off too much at once, needing to learn how to write the back-end logic and the UI conventions/behaviors at the same time. Maybe a bit like diving into web development by learning HTML and CSS and JavaScript all at the same time. I kinda want to restart my journey using Swift in more of a CLI/scripting capacity, and add UI later as a separate stage.
