One was able to purchase iPhones on instalments (and interest free), whether they were associated with a carrier, or not. The only way to buy them on instalments now is if the are associated with a carrier; otherwise one gets charged the full amount up front.

@prologic@twtxt.net in this case it isn’t vendor lock-in. I believe they do it because the carrier “eats” the costs (the interest part of the instalments). The phones are fully unlocked.
I will return the two we got for parents, and re-buy them again, this time on an instalment plan. Why pay $2,000 up front when you can split the cost in convenient monthly payments, all interest free, right?

@bender It's a bug in the UI for sure. The hash is the primary key.

@prologic@twtxt.net is it twice on database, or simply rendering twice? If you manually expunge it, will it affect the yarn?

Amiga OS 3.2 Update 3 released
I’ve long lost the ability to keep track of whatever’s happening in the Amiga community, and personally I tend to just focus on tracking MorphOS and AROS as best I can. The remnants of the real AmigaOS, and especially who owns, maintains, and develops which version, are mired in legal battles and ownership limbo, and since I can think of about a trillion things I’d rather do than keep track of the interpersonal drama by reading various Amiga forums, I honestly didn’t ev … ⌘ Read more
SDL2 ported to Mac OS 9
Well, this you certainly don’t see every day. This is a “rough draft” of SDL2 for MacOS 9, using CodeWarrior Pro 6 and 7. Enough was done to get it building in CW, and the start of a “macosclassic” video driver was created. It DOES seem to basically work, but much still needs to be done. Event handling is just enough to handling Command-Q, there is no audio, etc etc etc. ↫ A cast of thousands The hardest part was a video driver for the classic Mac OS, which had to be created mostly f … ⌘ Read more

Hit by the arvo sun rays behind the window I was convinced that it is t-shirt weather. Deep blue sky, yeah, for sure! It turned out to be just 15°C and declining, though. So, I had to wear my jacket on today's windy stroll. Pretty nice. Didn't take many photos, but there you go: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-04-10/

@bender@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks! I’ll think about switching to higher resolution teasers in the future. The reasoning behind the thumbnails is to avoid wasting traffic. Maybe folks in the outback or on expensive mobile networks appreciate it. Yeah, they could disable images in general.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org that’s such a beautiful shot! If I were you I would use the full “original” one; it will do better justice to the shots. Oh, and I gladly take your 15°C! 😍

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @ionores@twtxt.net Thank you! Nope, still a petting farm over here. The only dangerous (to humans) animals are boars and ticks. But I only ever encountered a wild hog once in my entire life so far. Luckily, it took off and didn’t attack me. Ticks, on the other hand, regularly attack me.
