@RussSharek the “find my” app will list recent alerts, along with a bit more info about the device than you get in the standard notification so if there’s reason to be concerned that this person might have actually ended up with an unwanted airtag/headphones in their things i would go check there
but yeah apple definitely leans towards ‘better to over notify than under’ when it comes to letting people know about airtags & similar nearby which can be a bit disconcerting
@RussSharek so whats happening here is not actually that the devices in question are tracking their phone — if you remember during the beginning of the the pandemic when many states implemented anonymized contact tracing airtags works fairly similarly ( https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/11/20/1012325/do-digital-contact-tracing-apps-work-heres-what-you-need-to-know/ ) with regularly rotating codes that aren’t used for anything else.
Airtags just send these codes out passively 24/7 — thats literally their job — but phones don’t send anything back, the tracking alert isn’t actually a result of any kind of mutual data exchange. However if your notices you’re suddenly getting a bunch of pings from a device it doesn’t recognize, your phone will send you an alert in case, say, someone stuck an airtag inside your car. Usually when I get an alert its because I’ve been spending time with someone who has an airtag on their keys or similar.
@OldBrushNewPaper i also tested toot!, StarPterano, Mercury, Mastoot, & Ivory all somewhat recently but wasn’t huge fans of any of them for various reasons
@OldBrushNewPaper (all iOS)
i started out on amaroq in 2017 but when it, alas, got so out of date that it stopped running i switched to tooot which had a lot of the things i liked from amaroq (very clean minimalist interface without too many animations etc)
more recently i’ve been testing out metatext and tusker, both of which make some design choices i find strange (why are DM’s so prominent??? surely they could just be a tab in notifications instead of their whole own section) and aren’t quite feature complete (metatext doesn’t seem to have handling for reviewing follow requests for example) but as they’re still getting regular updates i’m sure it’ll come eventually
@fogsrollingin lmao yeah exactly 😅
@fogsrollingin feels especially rude of ao3 to be putting the deleted marker on the front page like that just to make sure i see it 😂
Food, seasonal
@OldBrushNewPaper yeah they’re tasty!
The Nederlands would have been a very reasonable assumption —its a common corruption around here though, where theres a lot more people of german heritage

@OldBrushNewPaper dutch as in deutsch i believe — or at least thats a safe bet here in PA :) The internet tells me they’re similar to popovers? Basically a very eggy unleavened pancake batter (usually spiced, i like cardamom and nutmeg) is poured into a preheated cast iron pan full of butter and popped in a fairly hot oven for about 10 min (depends exactly how hot, and how much batter per size of pan, and…) and the heat causes steam which causes it to turn all puffed up and wrinkly
serve slices with powdered sugar and lemon juice or fruit compote, depending on ones preference and try not to burn your tongue
self-depreciating humour, comparing productivity
@Anke doing the dishes regularly is an excellent goal <3
Food, seasonal
@OldBrushNewPaper i pregamed with pancakes today, but will definitely be making more! i haven’t made dutch baby (eggy almost soufflé like oven pancake) in a long while so i might try that on the actual tuesday
trash picked macbook saga (2)
@rabbithearth yay! any clues about its story?
@Forestofglory yeah etymology can be kind of mysterious so maybe no one knows for sure? words are neat haha
@Forestofglory oh neat! i wonder if this change was driven by real life yuan shifting from the one type of place to the other?
@wallhackio love a good css crime
@cassolotl @Maz sorry i may be missing something — which part of those screenshots says that they want to be referred to as afab nb? it sounds to me like one of the main issues they have with transmasc is that they feel like it implies being afab, and they’d rather just be nb / trans nb with no modifiers

@s0 i’m glad it went well!
I'm cheating a little but #Ao3AuthorsNotes doesn't have quite the same ring to it
