I feel the need to rant about my recent experiences with #Apple products & the increasing number of issues

1/?

Last week, whenever I asked my HomePods to run any of my Shortcuts:
Siri: “Okay, to what value?”
🤷‍♂️

Today, when I ask Siri on HomePod to control my thermostat or turn on lights:
Siri: It looks like you haven’t setup any HomeKit accessories…”
🤦‍♂️

If you see me getting an extra large pack of whatever in the store, I'm not panic buying, I'm just lazy.

I am not the same as you.

You are not the same as me.

And that's ok.

I can respect you.

You can respect me.

But i am not going to suspend reality.

Realities I have lived, endured.

And nor should you suspend yours.

Realities you have lived, endured.

And that's ok.

Let's be kind to each other as fellow travellers on this planet, in this space and time.

The Kaylon have setup their own Mastodon instance.

I’m not sure if this to maintain peaceful discourse with humanity or if we should be concerned.

Even if they mean well, be careful. You could still lose a leg.

I am new on here today and I'm just trying to figure it all out

This past week I helped fix some inclusive language at work and someone thanked me saying they didn’t keep up with the current preferred language.

I told them that they didn’t need to because they brought a trans person to the table and it was satisfying to see that idea sink in.

Oh, it's supposed to snow in Atlanta this weekend? Yeah okay, Brother. No, I'm not surprised. You could tell me dinosaurs were back, Pee Wee Herman is the new Grand Vizier of Pakistan, and there's a new virus that makes people sing "Stayin" Alive" continuously, until they (ironically) drop dead, and I still wouldn't blink an eye.

Anti-Semitic tropes in the Harry Potter game are not an accident.

I had a zoom appointment with someone scheduled today & they did not show up. I cannot emphasize enough how much this fucks up the day for someone with ADHD. The entire morning was spent mentally preparing for this meeting so I got nothing else done and now I'm out of sorts in the aftermath. Basically my schedule for the day got fucked up and it's hard to just readjust. IYKYK If you can't make a meeting, CANCEL IT in a reasonable timeframe please!

Hi ~ I'd love to follow you back, but I keep getting a message that says "This action is not allowed," accompanied by the Mastodon logo bug. Could it be on your end? I'll keep trying! Karen Strickholm ☺️

Using the new U2 navigation system, the streets have no name and I still haven't found what I'm looking for.

#slack can also be sometimes fun and can be used for nerd things.

I am the unknown worldwide creator of several emojis in our corporate network. As soon as you created it everybody can use it and it seems it is not possible to edit or delete it afterwards (also I cannot).
Today I added gembawalks and the nostr emoji.

Now waiting that somebody uses the nostr emoji (beside myself).

Longcow is long!

This feels like a good time for lots of non trans people to loudly state the truth that trans people are good and more out and visible trans people is good for society.
