Seeing the stripes next to the month helps people know if it is a single, double, or triple stripe month.

CA’s a long boi

It is. Apple Maps recommends a combo of the fastest and most popular routes. Sometimes the popular routes are shown as options because they’re nicer.

This goes through Bend Oregon, home of the last Blockbuster on Earth. That’s a solid recommendation IMHO.

This is Apple Maps.

Apple Maps doesn’t just recommend the fastest routes, it also appears to push the most popular routes as alternatives.

Here is the San Francisco area to LA in iOS 18. The longer route might seem insane if you’re not familiar with the drive, but that longer route is much prettier, and a lot of people intentionally drive in the coastal road for the views.

Edit: Weird. Lemmy isn’t loading the picture for me. All in all, this is a map of I5 to LA vs the Hyw 101 to LA. I5 is 2 hours faster, but it’s a long brown valley, it smells like cow shit, and you’re bombarded with homemade MAGA signs for several hours. It’s a drive of hate, farts, and truck stop food. 101 longer, but it’s recommended for redwoods forests and cute little beach towns.

A TikTok video went viral and some people just learned that spit can be used as lube.

If gunning down little kids with lunchboxes isn’t enough to make you dial the guns town a notch, then nothing will.

Close enough. You can come in the club. There’s dunkaroos in the back if you’re hungry.

It wasn’t my intention to come across as aggressive. Not trying to pick a fight here.

I’m honestly just curious about how some gen AI features are showing for you. If you are able to access them, I would love to reproduce what you did so that I could fiddle with the AI as well. I’m seeing the same bedtime stories on my iOS 17 / 18 devices and my Ventura Mac.

When ask iOS 18 Siri to tell me a story, I get the same handful of stories over and over. Mouse college friends, a spider with the spindly legs, ground squirrels, etc. 🤷‍♂️

How are you generating stories with Apple Intelligence? When I ask Siri to “tell me story,” Siri pulls from a small library of canned stories. They’re the same on iOS 17 and 18. They’re not generative and I can’t say “tell me a story about dinosaurs who where top hats.”

Weird. I thought most people knew to use spit as lube.

When instances get big, it gets really hard for volunteer admins to manage communities with controversial content. You end up having to deal with legal BS and lots of reports.

Admins and mods putting restrictions in place has more to do with keeping the community maintainable. Dealing with all of that stuff is tough when it’s after work and out of your own pocket.

I wish folks had a little bit more empathy for people volunteering their time and money to offer a free service. Lemmy.world’s head admin isn’t Zuck. He’s just a regular Joe Shmoe doing this in his free time.

These are volunteers, that have day jobs, that have to spend their own time and money to deal with the legal ramifications of that. These aren’t people with legal teams and millions to blow on risk mitigation. These are hobbyists doing this after work, after helping the kids with homework, after cooking dinner for the family, etc.

Good news is that other instances exist. This is just what one group of volunteers is offering to the world.

She’s praising the team for recruiting based on skill, not color. A 1/5 of Germans believe the team isn’t white enough.

They were usually called “Push Ups” in my neck of the woods. “Push pops” were the little lipstick container lollipops.

To be fair, the plunger was plastic.

Dude can heal and resurrect, but it takes him several days. So it’s not great for battles. He’s no Deadpool or Wolverine.

lol. Amazing.

I bet those Grinch pillows will be great on a summer beach.

Oftentimes the stuff goes out on the floor early because big box store don’t have much of a back room. So when the holiday decor boat from China docks, that stuff goes right on the floor asap.

Some stores seasonal product timing is heavily dependent on shipping and logistics timing.
