The Apple and iOS community lost one of the truly good ones recently.

Alex Hay, the developer of Toolbox Pro for Shortcuts, passed away last Saturday after a battle with cancer. He was 36.

The news left me devastated. With his family's blessing, we've decided to dedicate @AutomationApril to his memory. We'll be making donations to two cancer charities in his name; we encourage those who were fans of his work to do the same.

Alex was pure talent. We'll miss you.

This suuuuuucks. DPReview is a great website and YouTube channel—probably the best of its kind in the world. But I guess that doesn't matter to the bean counters. https://www.dpreview.com/news/5901145460/dpreview-com-to-close

@ivory You might want to rather use \b instead of (space), so you're also able to match hashtags and other non-alpha-numeric chars.

Per @Shine_McShine "As a rule of thumb, before developing or releasing any new "disruptive" tech, ask yourself these three questions:

· What would venture capitalists do with this new tech?
· What would 4chan do with this new tech?
· What would the state of Israel do with this new tech?"

My answers:

a) Move fast and break things

b) Move fast and break people

c) Move fast and break the peace

Oh, man. This comic — from 1993 — could NOT be more relevant today. As usual, Bill Watterson hits it out of the park.

Ahora que la BBC ha decidido censurar a sir David Attenborough porque la derecha no está dispuesta a admitir que sus políticas están destruyendo el planeta, es un buen momento para rescatar una anécdota poco conocida que ilustra hasta qué punto el naturalista y documentalista británico es, además de un tesoro nacional, una persona valiente y comprometida.

It's international women's day.

While you're talking about solidarity, don't forget:
- trans women
- disabled women
- Black Women, Indigenous Women, and Women of Colour
- women in prisons
- women with addiction issues
- old and elderly women
- women who are sex workers

...the list goes on.

Remember all the women who are ignored and forgotten, even on days they're meant to be remembered.

Not only did Elon Musk go full psychopath today trying to publicly demean one of his (apparently now) former employees, of all people he chose *this* guy to attack, to really contrast himself with what a good human looks like.

*slow clap*

I expect a pharmacy to remove medications in a state where they've become illegal. I can even understand (though not agree with) not selling certain medications at all because you don't think they should be used. But Walgreens is stopping the sale of legal medications just because certain state AGs are looking to move up the GOP ladder.

The WSJ published a "cOnsErvAtIvE spEEch On cAmpUs Is gEttIng cAncEllEd article" today. I will not link to it, and I normally wouldn't give this bullshit the time of day but this one happens to be about my alma mater, Stanford, so I feel a certain duty to point out the shitty journalism in this article by calling out the fact that the reason the university has an anonymous reporting system for hateful conduct is because there have been several anti-semitic incidents on campus in recent years /1

Happy #Sunday

Somebody can't pay the SMS charges for 2FA, IMHO 😉

The “cancel culture” and anti-“wokeism” moral panics rely on a complete inversion of the actual balance of power, portraying traditionally marginalized groups as mighty forces that urgently need to be reined in – and those in elite positions as desperately in need of protection. (Thread - 1/)

El nivel de conspiranoia que estoy leyendo en redes sobre el tren de Ohio está alcanzando cotas ya de gorrito de papel de plata.

"El Chernobil americano que la prensa nacional e internacional te están ocultando". "Están arrestando a periodistas que intentan investigar".

Lo último: "el gobierno federal está derribando globos sonda para evitar que tomen mediciones del desastre desde el aire" y "BlackRock ordenó quemar los tanques".

Ya. En serio. STAHP.

I'm having such a hard time picking the best paragraph from this article.

Wow. La placa de Anatolia se ha desplazado 3,5 metros a causa del #terremoto del sur de #Turquía, tal y como se puede apreciar en estas fotos:

Sin leer el artículo:

Me juego el cuello a que los MIERDAS de El Confidencial llaman "laboralistas" a cuatro abogaditos de bufetes sicarios de empresas.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Faltan lanzallamas.
