Mastodon is nice and brings to mind the old days of Twitter, now long gone and blown away by the ashes of time.
Hello folks! Just a quick reminder that the best way to get ahold of us is to email support@flyingmeat.com, use our online forums (forums.flyingmeat.com), or via the built in reporter under the Help menu of Acorn and Retrobatch.
It's server upgrade day today! The Flying Meat server will be up (and down) and maybe up and down again for the next hour or so.
We love server upgrade day! There's never any stress, and it's always smooth sailing. Those bits just do what they are supposed to. Every time.
Just converted a few THOUSAND 14bit microscope images to 16 bit using @retrobatch from @flyingmeat. I can’t even imagine the amount of time it saved me!
I’m blown away. Feature request for Acorn image editor forms in my head, I email request to @flyingmeat.
23 minutes later I have that exact feature running on my computer.
Always listens. Pragmatic.
There is a lot to be said about working with indie developers!
Big shout out for Retrobatch by @flyingmeat. Anytime I have a large folder of images I need to perform a bunch of transformations on, I'm amazed at how simple and alarmingly fast Retrobatch is at letting me define them and get my work done. 10/10 would recommend!
If you aren’t a Mac person then you likely don’t get just how wonderful Mac software can be. Let me tell you a tale of Retro Batch and Flying Meat. @flyingmeat@daringfireball
To celebrate Flying Meat turning 20 years old today, everything in the store is now $20! (Including the Retrobatch Pro Upgrade - which is normally $19.99).

Good news, Apple released Security Update 2021-003 Catalina yesterday for 10.15.7, and it appears to have fixed the regression which broke Acorn 6 and below. You can grab it from Software Update in Sys Prefs.
I will now try to (unsuccessfully) forget this ever happened.
