  its a really interesting choice to only send ausalert alerts to ios 26. It seems that only 79% of phones have been updated to it, so 20% of Australian apple users WON'T get these alerts! (I checked the ausalert site, and, yes, you need ios 26 to get these life saving alerts :( https://www.ausalert.gov.au/receiving-alert/compatible-mobile-devices ) #ausalert #ausalertfail Fast source:

  @dansup@mastodon.social I dont think this works as is: step 2 is "choose platform". The naive user has _no idea_ on platforms. How are they supposed to choose here? I would suggest that as a _last_ step, with preselecting all as the default IMHO :) (why would anyone be selecting by technology anyway?!?!)

  @frogglin @david my unsupported theory is: nerds are the ones who know about things while geeks are the ones who can do things. So nerds will be able to quote movies, discuss philosophy and other stuff, perhaps we could call it “the Arts”; and geeks can setup your server, write some nice code and develop a theory of relativity - so, science and engineering. Clearly there will be some overlap, but thats my headcanon :)
