Hey folks. Many of you know that I’ve ran a Mastodon instance since 2017. Unfortunately it’s shutting down in a month. Users are urged to migrate their data immediately. More details here: ashfurrow.com/blog/mastodon-…

If you don't have Pixel Pals, what is even the point of owning an iPhone?
24 Oct 2022
There's so many other cool things in this app (Big Mode, a new Parrot Pal, feeding for all) and it's so much fun to use and really makes your phone a more cheery place.
Pixel Pals is available for download now! 🌟itunes.apple.com/app/id64439…

Sometimes this greyed out edit-actions bar appears on my Lock Screen. I don’t recognize it as a part of iOS – anyone know what this is, and why it might be showing up?
ALT Above my Lock Screen clock is a bar with disabled icons for undo, cut, copy, paste, and redo.

How do you define the type for the `app.get` function such that the `req.params` type is based on the path pattern string?

It takes using presentation software that isn’t Keynote to remember just how good Keynote is.
Every time, I forget. Every time, I am reminded.

Ah, I literally am thinking of Bride of Chaotica’s “photonic lifeforms”, never mind.

Any time I open a .mm file, it's either a lot of fun or a lot of tears 🤣🥹😅

It really sucks when I see developers I respect totally dismiss a technology / career path that I’ve grown to love (React Native). It takes a mental toll on me. This happens a lot on Twitter and in iOS dev newsletters, so I tend to avoid those now.

This is a big factor in why I don't spend much time on Twitter anymore, honestly. People get too attached to their tech choices (even me).
Once I had an iOS dev friend send me a DM, saying how disappointed they were in my career choice, that I had betrayed the iOS community. 🤷♂️

It hurt to hear that feedback from someone I admire.
Anyway. I don't mean to stir anything up. That's just been my experience with the iOS dev community. Have a good week 👋

It drives me bananas that Google Docs defaults to "100%" zoom level. "Fit" should be the default. My browser window size should determine the content size like every other web page.
What is this piece-of-paper nonsense?? Skeuomorphism gone too far!
ALT Google Docs' zoom level dropdown. Fit is at the top, then a series of percentage zooms from 50% to 200%.

Atlantic Canada is having a huge internet outage, which unfortunately coincided with the new MacBook Air going on sale. SO. Mine arrives mid-August. Ah well!

Oh, apparently the Rogers outage is Canada-wide. Cool cool cool.
This is what I get for bundling home internet and cellular 😅🙄🙃
