I assume you get why it's not a nice thing to say that "slavery helped black people in some ways" but I think some people miss why this particular idea is *exceptionally* racist.
One of the main arguments to justify slavery was that it "civilized" black people by making us Christian & teaching us obedience to our "betters." Black people were "lucky" or "better off" as slaves.
It assumes that when people were enslaved they had no skills, nothing to offer, that they were basically animals.

Journalist Ed Yong continues to cover #LongCovid and #MECFS with immense clarity. This new article is so important. It shows how our traditional understanding of fatigue is totally undermined by these illnesses.
"American society tends to equate inactivity with immorality, and productivity with worth. Faced with a condition that simply doesn’t allow people to move—even one whose deficits can be measured and explained—many doctors and loved ones default to disbelief." https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2023/07/chronic-fatigue-long-covid-symptoms/674834/
@JetForMe Not deaf ears. Hang tight for a couple days, should be enabled soon.
@simonharper Cool. It actually takes a few minutes to gather the logs, too.
@simonharper once the profile is there, reproduce the issue (I assume it involves launching the Weather app) and then press the crown and side buttons at the same time for a count of 1-2-(release as you get to 3). You’ll feel a haptic indicating that a sysdiagnose has started.
@simonharper Unfortunately there are no logs indicating what’s going wrong. Would you be willing to install the sysdiagnose profile and reproduce?

If you're planning to delete your twitter account, consider that if any creep in the world dislikes you they can register your abandoned username, impersonate you, and spread lies about you. It happened to my friend. It sucks.
Keep control of your username.

While we wait to hear back about the Vision Pro labs, I figured I'd put together a list of tips for how to maximize your time at a lab like this. This is based on similar past experiences. Time is your enemy at an event like this and so being efficient and thoughtful ahead of time can greatly increase what you can get done in your slot.
If I'm fortunate enough to get a slot I’ll update the article if there are things I learn specific to visionOS which I can share.

@asiergmorato hang tight for a couple days. :-)
@denisdepalatis What’s the FB number?
@matt1corey Haha, once per release (or at least once per seed), please. :-)
Your annual reminder to get any Feedback in asap now that Beta 4 of the OSes and Beta 5 of Xcode are out. Don’t hope in silence; if there’s something that feels like a REALLY BIG DEAL to you, let us know with a Feedback! (Bonus points for telling us WHY by describing your use case.) We’ll also take non-emergency Feedback too. We really do want to know how you’re using (or want to use!) our APIs. And remember, folks, *dupes are VOTES.* ❤️⌚️👩🏿💻🧑🏽💻👨🏼💻👩🏼💻 ⌚️❤️

You can't keep telling people the future is a fascist takeover and ecological collapse, and conservatives and corporations are the ones directly responsible and are blocking efforts to fix it, and not expect people to ask why we're being so goddamn nice to them in that case.
@davewoodx @matt1corey An engineer is eagerly awaiting your sysdiagnose to see if it contains any clues. I suspect this is “easy to reproduce” because your devices are in state. We’d love to know what state that is. :-) Post FB number when you have it!
@davewoodx Yep, saw that in your original post.
@davewoodx @matt1corey Totally understand.
@matt1corey @davewoodx Debugging on Mastodon is less than ideal, so please post Feedback numbers and I’ll pass on for investigation. Thanks!
@davewoodx What all of those notifications have in common is that they’re forwarded from the phone. What OS is your phone running?
