Anyone having real problems with the Apple Watch with watchOS26 Workouts usability? I’m constantly failing to record my workouts because it’s stopped showing intermediate option screens that I can’t see because I’m not wearing my damn glasses during a workout.

Sounds great but @okaydev.co has some of the most terrifyingly broad terms of use I've read on any creative site. "exploit your Contributions (including, without limitation, your image, name, and voice) for any purpose"… "waive any and all moral rights" app.termly.io/policy-viewe...

clip from policy document saying:
"When you post Contributions, you grant us a license (including use of your name, trademarks, and logos): By posting any Contributions, you grant us an unrestricted, unlimited, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, fully-paid, worldwide right, and license to: use, copy, reproduce, distribute, sell, resell, publish, broadcast, retitle, store, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part), and exploit your Contributions (including, without limitation, your image, name, and voice) for any purpose, commercial, advertising, or otherwise, to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, your Contributions, and to sublicense the licenses granted in this section. Our use and distribution may occur in any media formats and through any media channels.

This license includes our use of your name, company name, and franchise name, as applicable, and any of the trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, and personal and commercial images you provide."

Labeling an entire class of people extremists based on one shooting would be bad enough - but the shooter wasn't trans. The only trans person involved in this was surprised and horrified by what happened and began cooperating immediately with police

The FBI is preparing to label transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-readie...

the reason you don't engage in a data-driven argument with fascists is that it legitimises the idea that if the data went the other way their core argument would be acceptable it is not and should be rejected wholesale from first principles

The hatred of the left, and obedience to Donald Trump is escalating to a point of no return for some of his CULT. Remember who supports him. Family members, friends, co-workers, and radical right-wing politicians. Let them know you will always remember their support for him.
