@hilli.tech @davemark.com Lads, might be something for the podcasts.
Apple added both these apps to home screens in iOS 26. Games is clear enough, but after opening the Preview app a couple times I still have absolutely no idea what it does.
I'm stunned at the lack of affordance from Apple here.

I didn't notice it for ages, but they also provide this option in the sign-in email.
Sam, it would be worth making it more obvious
My reason for preferring that option is that due to the way the iPhone works, it will visit DI from within the email app, so I then can't use the email app for email.

Maybe they are elsewhere, but this image - with the car intruding into the pedestrian crossing space - doesn't scream "deferential" to me.
The woman might be interested in the Waymo, or she might be trying to make (impossible) eye contact to confirm her safety.

If the trial needs 12 months for learning (for seasons and large annual events such as matches or marathons), then it might make sense to make it 15 months to allow the full 3 months for the assessment.

A climate version occurred to me after seeing @katharinehayhoe.com spend time trying to educate others, mostly linking to her website FAQ
It felt like could be often automated / bot would often be more effective - "🤖 hi, you appear to be making an ad hominem remark rather than addressing the point"

AFAIK this is incorrect.
Any flight permission is from the IAA. They are rather asked to let Manna know of their flight details just before they fly - and it's then Manna's responsibility to avoid them.

And probably would be higher if that 13% of the cohort hadn't emigrated.
![Screenshot of portion of article, which says...
Almost seven in 10 (69.9 per cent) were still living at home with their parents, a consistent pattern observed throughout the country.
Among those, 62.4 per cent cited "mostly financial reasons" for staying at home.
Of those who were not homeowners, 80.5 per cent expected to buy a home in the future.
Meanwhile, more than one in every eight people (12.7 per cent) eligible to be interviewed had emigrated.
[ The Irish Times view on population and migration: understanding is keyOpens in new window ]
Just under 50 per cent of the cohort responded, and of the 7,870 approached for interview, 1,001 individuals said they were not living in Ireland.
Some 500 of those completed a separate survey, which found that more than five in six (84.7 per cent) planned to live abroad for 12 months or more.
Nearly half of those who had emigrated (48.6 per cent) planned to return to live in Ireland, while 30.2 per cent had not decided yet if they would return.
Just over one-fifth (21.2%) of respondents did not intend to return to live in Ireland in the future.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:znbtd5sybiuzsosdnkjjilw3/bafkreiarjsfqb6wm42clow7wrf42bjnshdx7zu4ebguspmutt7lcnrxe4q@jpeg)

@pfrazee.com Hi Paul, any way to share my 'pinned' (if that's the right term) feeds with others?
I can't recall where I found the Popular With Friends one and can't see a way to find a sharing link.

The transit app allows that, so it must already be possible? Though it may be using timetabled ghost buses rather than reality if that's what the API is providing it.

This time penalty pricing by ESB doesn't makes sense for standard on-street car charging....or am I missing something?
Up to 10 hours - 0 penalty.
Then the next 45 minutes costs €22.50
Then all the time in the world after that is free.
