The class I'm in is lovely but their after-class "community" is on....Facebook. As someone with ADHD and happily involved in a lot of hobbies, I find myself in this scenario at least 3-4x/year:

Someone: When this event is over we should all stay connected!

Everyone: YAY LET'S

Class facilitator: We have a Facebook group, here's the address...

Everyone: YAY COOL

Me: I deleted my Facebook account a couple years ago, are there any alternatives? I could suggest some if you need ideas?

Everyone: <very awkward silence>

Facilitator: <changes topic>

Anyone else run into this scenario? Have you had any success getting people to switch?

So when I get to the theater and my tickets don't scan, I realize they are for a theater 30 blocks uptown from me. Not only that, the theater I'm at doesn't have a showtime that fits my schedule. This plan was always doomed to fail, I just didn't realize until I was in midtown Manhattan.

Now I have three hours to kill in the armpit of New York.

@elight Thank you! :)

I wouldn’t have expected it, but the #1 papercut I’m feeling on macOS 27 so far is the fact you can’t drag a Finder icon while also two-finger scroll through the file list at the same time. Turns out I actually do this constantly!

i think we non-techies would benefit from understanding at least the basic terminology and frameworks used in accessibility tech because - how many of us did not know we needed accessibility features until we saw them in our iphone settings? if 4 years ago someone would have asked me point blank, “what accessibility features do you need for your phone?” i would not have said please make there be wiggly dots on the sides of my screen when i’m riding in a vehicle so i can look at my phone without puking.

Hands up if you've asked an AI to identify three great things about your child, or used ChatGPT to create a podcast that explains your kids' interests. What, no one? @Techcrunch's Amanda Silberling talks about how tech bosses are becoming increasingly detached from the rest of us.
