Do any techie people happen to know why I'm completely unable to access the settings app on an iPad Mini with Voiceover? Visually they're there, but all Voiceover will read is the status bar and absolutely nothing on the screen. It's running iOS 14.4.2 if that matters. I can't update to the latest version because I can't access the settings, which is also why I haven't tried resetting to factory settings. This is maddening and has resulted in me hardly using the device for months.

Consider: James Bond movie but his gadgets constantly fail and show him ads and he gets caught because the company that made his laser nose-hair trimmer nunchuck gets hacked.

These racist SMS messages could well be targeted from the Change breach. That would give them ethnicity and the contact details.

One morning in 2015 I met what was known as the "free sheep" - a couple of sheep that would regularly appear in the fields near my parents' home. No one knew where they came from or managed to catch them.

A year later, after a very tough winter, they had a lamb and all 3 would roam together.

Before the next winter an animal sanctuary was called and eventually they did manage to catch and rehome the family.

I still feel lucky to have met them that morning. 🐑💚

Bought a laptop with me to England. Only used it to plug into telly and watch plex. Have ignored all work. Feels fucking magnificent honestly.

Travelling to the UK. Airport absolutely deserted late on a Monday evening.

I don't know why, but alongside the resting Deer from yesterday, there is also a Turkey that has taken up residence in my garden .They must feel safe there. My dog is not feeling it. He has just got over the groundhog that lives there.

There is already a scanning process called "Read the fucking boarding pass" Why does this need to be solutionized? Just follow the damn rules.

I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.61 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

Migration from a Mastodon account to a snac one has been implemented. Please see snac(8) (the administrator manual) for more information.

Mastodon API: fixed timelines/public (it was showing less posts that it should).

Fixed over-zealous caching to the public timeline.

Some HTML tweaks and fixes to the web interface.
