For people in the USA:

A bill that would require age verification nationwide, seemingly for all adults and children, for all operating systems, according to currently-unspecified rules determined by the FTC.

(Please note the "give feedback on this bill" link with guidance to contact your state's members of Congress.)

(Are "change your profile picture to this thing for this social issue" trends over, or just not on Mastodon?)

The main side-tab history thread seems like a cool idea.

More ponderous is that it's framed as a browser "for ADHD minds" by a home page that uses 40 paragraphs across a dozen differently-coloured sections to repeatedly explain the same feature.

THUMBNAIL: "Winnie The Pooh And Timbuktu!"

VIDEO: pressure washin' a Van Gogh

The thumbnail isn't from the video?

Innovation.

I dreamt last night that I woke up to a BBC headline stating that Trump's administration just had a successful first day of implementing and running the cohesive health care system for Americans on which he campaigned in 2016.

(Laughs)

Phenomenal.

@marioguzman –

Hi, Mario: I just wanted to say I love the Music Widget app, particularly with the dark look. It's practically never been closed since I found it a month ago.

An armada of prehensile lightning bolts is taking the nation by storm.

Update: I finally found that pressing Control-Return opens the contextual menu for a History item, from which you can pick "Open In New Tab".

(It looks like Control-Return is a more recent semi-system-wide kind of shortcut.)

I think one of the oddest experiences a long-time fan of Star Trek can have is waiting decades to finally watch Seinfeld for the first time and seeing like half of the supporting characters from TNG, DS9 and Voyager show up in comedic roles.

US: "Nintendo is the biggest video game company in the world."

UK: "Nintendo are the biggest video games company in the world."

(Fantastic stuff.)

Heck. I just discovered JavaScript `EventSource` type this week for receiving lightweight events from a server over time using a single HTTP request. This has been well-supported for over five years? It's so easy to use, even on the server, that it barely feels like a Web standard.

In "The Price Is Right", which word should get emphasis?

Oh, look at this. I'd added one menu control for my fan and another for my heater, both of which disappeared on each of my last few restarts, so I re-added them each time – and Tahoe 26.4 restored all of them. So that's nice.

Innovative of the Starfleet Academy showrunners to set a Star Trek show in a writer's room from the mid-2020s.

… You can use a pinch gesture to take a QuickTime Player movie to full screen.

How long has that been there?

Well, things are fun.

Wow. Twice in Apple support documents, I've found "macOS" used as a count noun:

"Each macOS includes the latest built-in apps…"

"… You might get the macOS that you were using before upgrading."

I can't find it prohibited in the Apple Style Guide, but never before in Apple's history have I noted an official document or speaker doing this with an OS's name.
