Making things out of other things. UIKit for a while. He/him.

If you’re checking out mastodon and can’t figure out where to paste usernames to search for the, the search box is at the top of the page in the ‘#explore’ tab (select #explore on the right hand side).

Paste the entire name including the server (‘instance’) name after the ‘@’.

Is this unprecedented for a social platform?

I guess it’s within Twitter’s rights to do - but it’s hardly the action of a ‘free speech’ absolutist.

And it’s weirdly erratic. Just specific named platforms?

Come join Mastodon! I’m th_in_gs on sfba dot social.

The ACM has opened a public Mastodon instance for “#computing researchers & practitioners to connect & exchange ideas with each other, whether you are an ACM member or not”

Just 'liked' a complimentary post - then unliked it again because I thought "wait, the algorithm's going to show this to people and they'll think I'm in complete agreement with all it says rather than just appreciating it". I like Mastodon's not-presented-in-the-timeline likes...

Ugh. Three weeks ago.

Twitter will be forming a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints.

No major content decisions or account reinstatements will happen before that council convenes.

Spacecraft get selfies, too.

While teams performed a checkout on the @NASA_Orion spacecraft, these images were captured of the outside of the vehicle.

The #Artemis I mission is just a couple days from reaching the Moon: https://t.co/7Y3o8TGU3C

Excited to be joining the mechanical keyboard club with one of these.

Can it supplant the "Apple USB Keyboard" (M2452) I've loved for twenty years?

@leviathan_bound and "more distinguished" "fine lines".

I’ve hopped on the bandwagon too, and made a Mastodon account: https://t.co/7gnbsgc27F

After way too much overthinking about how to choose a server, I went with old-school geography.

Favorite posts?

Come for the controversy (https://t.co/UgkcgZ1xS0).

Enjoy the zombie iOS esoterica (https://t.co/0thOnuelFQ, https://t.co/1IUjyXtYLo).

Stay for the high quality baking content (https://t.co/W25Zni8BEH).

Weird day for it, but I coincidentally got my blog resurrected today: https://t.co/5DjM43LXdl

Peter was always a great colleague! If you’re interested in this you should definitely contact him.

Experimenting with #TwitterBlue (aka trying to break stuff). Found something fun. The app sets up a £6.99 monthly subscription but if you go to iOS Settings / Apple ID / Subscriptions you can change to £4.99 monthly.

The SwiftUI Previews team is hiring! We get to provide the preview experience for Xcode and Swift Playgrounds. We love sitting at the intersection of tools, languages, frameworks, and the system.

RT this if you want to bring back old school Twitter where your entire feed wasn't about Twitter

Why I’m not on Mastodon: Decision fatigue in finding a server that doesn’t make me seem like an over-enthusiastic single-issue or single-hobby dedicant - but also isn’t just https://t.co/f32NHF6kfy, because that seems defeat the (questionable) purpose of decentralization.
