Well Apple photos is very smart. A little too smart. It recognises that this is a gig photo, and knows it’s at the O2 Institute and can therefore work out who this is! Sadly, it thinks it’s the O2 Institute 3, and so thinks this is Amanda McCoy. Close, but no cigar (this is Pop Will Eat Itself)

A photo of Pop Will Eat Itself playing at the O2 Institute in Birmingham. Apple Photos has labelled it as an Amanda McCoy concert

Clicking the Amanda McCoy concert link opens a page with photo of Ms McCoy, date, venue, top songs, other dates and so on

What should Rider 2026.1 fix? I'm asking for a bit of community upvoting to know what issues you're most eager to get in to Rider 2026.1, which we're in the process of planning. How else were you planning on spending a wet Friday afternoon?

Full marks to the BBC weather site for correctly showing the repetition of 1am in the UK this weekend. (Hopefully most other weather sites get this right too...)

Weather forecast showing 1am happening twice on Sunday morning in the UK, due to the clocks going back (2am=>1am).

This is astonishing. The absolute miracle of it. Banging out the theme tune to Antiques Roadshow or whatever while they FINE-TUNE YOUR ACTUAL FUCKING BRAIN. Life affirmed, again, what a day comrades.

But yes, let's not listen to experts.

In the process, we also learn how to use static linking with NativeAOT.

Took me two hours to replace the cylinder on my chair. I bet this would have worked.

Dan Olson @foldablehuman.bsky.social · 6d

I've been looking for solutions to my sinking office chair that didn't involve replacing the cylinder or putting a hard clamp on it, the top advice you'll see with most search terms, and it took way too long to find this guy saying "the lubricant probably settled, just turn the chair upside down"

No worries. We'd like it to be available to those that want it, and ideally have a nice big button to switch it off for those that don't :) But the choice is the important thing.

Matt Ellis @citizenmatt.bsky.social · 10d

Yep, beat me to it. If you haven't agreed to T&Cs, then we shouldn't show any cloud based AI features. And this is the only local code generation feature we've got.
