If you’re using the iOS 15 beta and despise AMP as much as I do I have a TestFlight for Overamped, my Safari Web Extension that redirects AMP pages: https://t.co/xfQT59Fx5H

@SafetyThirdPod @WilliamOsman @NileRed2 @ChemicalKevy @AnyTechnology are episodes 141+ intentionally only available on YouTube (and presumably Patreon)? I don't see them on RSS or Spotify.

@SerebiiNet Your Mastodon account has not posted since late December, are you no longer planning to post there?

The Bug That Bit Me Twice

https://t.co/Kv9bTfiHLl

[Joseph Duffy @Joe_Duffy]

The copied code has been removed from 1Blocker and an update has already been released 🎉

I assumed no malicious intent from their team and they confirmed they didn't copy it themselves: https://t.co/ToDu06hQqu

I'll be following up with a fun blog post describing my research 😊

[Joseph Duffy @Joe_Duffy]

Compare the below screenshots of the code from @1BlockerApp with a very similar functions in @OverampedApp.

They’re just too similar to be coincidence, especially given how bad my implementation is (the bug never should happened).

[Joseph Duffy @Joe_Duffy]

The @1BlockerApp’s “1Blocker Scripts” Safari Extension is very suspiciously suffering the same bug I just fixed in my @OverampedApp extension.

Looking at the source code of their extension it looks very much like a copy/paste of my code 🤔

[Joseph Duffy @Joe_Duffy]

I try to avoid most online drama but the Twitter stuff has been unavoidable. I would probably pay for Twitter Blue to be able to edit tweets (although not the current price), but I don't need the checkmark or to be at the top of replies.

[Joseph Duffy @Joe_Duffy]

This might not be exposed for a while, but rather Gathered will include some preconfigured sources that are derived.

Hopefully this keeps GatheredKit a pure wrapper and allows for any value to be shown in a widget or accessed via Shortcuts. Let’s see 😄

[Joseph Duffy @Joe_Duffy]

I don’t want anything in GatheredKit - the open source protocol-oriented framework Gathered is built on - to include any calculate or derived values, but now I’m planning to write a parser so I users can create sources with their own derived values, like free memory percentage.

[Joseph Duffy @Joe_Duffy]

Shortcuts support in Gathered is now a lot better thanks to a custom type that exposes various types, such as numeric types.

All properties are addressable using globally unique identifiers that can be copied in the app. Both easy and powerful 😃

AirTags in bags and in bikes are great, but I really need one inside the animal attached to my son's dummy and his water bottle!

[Joseph Duffy @Joe_Duffy]

@Catfish_Man The Await Element is still supported, but only (unofficially) supports HomeKit via Homebridge. Personally, it's worked well for me.

With the closure of Pokemon Bank I've been rushed to get this done, but it's been very enjoyable to do. Shiny Jirachi is my next priority, then the shadow Suicune, then misc events like Deoxys.

I also did the Aura Sphere Raikou because I needed to clear space for Manaphy 😄

[Joseph Duffy @Joe_Duffy]

I've been rediscovering hobbies that aren't programming, and recently got back in to RNG manipulation in older Pokémon games.

I got my 31/0/31/31/31/31 shiny Manaphy last week (TID 00000 😬), and will be going for the same spread on a shiny shadow Suicune in Colosseum.

[Joseph Duffy @Joe_Duffy]

My overall goal is to get my favourite legendaries and mythicals with perfect (or as close as possible) spreads and neutral or better natures, since the natures can be minted in future generations.

Shiny Celebi is purely random though, and I don't know which stat isn't 31 yet 😅

[Joseph Duffy @Joe_Duffy]

@im_a_blisy I’ve successfully followed your guide to RNG my ID on colosseum 😃 Thank you for writing it up! I’m on my way to get my shiny shadow Suicune.

Can I please get access to ChannelSeedSearch? I have attached proof of the RNG and other prerequisites.

[Brendan May @bmay]

One of the most sensible takes on ‘cancel culture’ I’ve seen. Sensible, honest, smart. I’m posting the video directly as Times Radio tweeted it with a clickbait and somewhat misleading headline that unintentionally confirmed his point. More of this please.

@JackHarteveld They must’ve thought we were part of a German satanic cult 😨
