@fgtech I’ve been having a lot of fun with it at least 🙂

@fgtech 😄 That's it in a nutshell.

@anniegreens 🙂👍🏻

@Havn I haven't. I'll definitely have a look at those.

That only solves part of the problem, though, as I still have cross-posting issues all the time, like today where a post never appeared on Bluesky or Mastodon at all.

@ChrisJWilson I know, right? Should be such an obvious thing.

@ChrisJWilson I mean, if the monochrome Pentax sells well enough, maybe? Since it's the same company and all. (Ricoh is also working on a new film camera so they're definitely trying a lot of interesting things at the moment.)

@odd My sister’s getting really good at taking these 🙂

@odd Yeah, definitely makes me worried to hear talk like that from a candidate.

@torb Yeah, definitely. Mongo has its use cases as do things like DynamoDB but so so many organisations adopted them based on hype not need.

@chadkoh That is a very good point 😄

@chadkoh Oh, it was just one of those LLM-promoting programmers saying that it massively increased their productivity at specific kinds of coding as a defence when people are pointing out the harms. Later, when asked how much time it saved them per day, it turned out to be about half-an-hour at best. Turns out they spent less than an hour a day on that kind of boilerplate coding.

@anniegreens Thankfully the redwings and blackbirds that are my main regulars don't really mind me being in the kitchen as long as I'm not too close.

@odd I think that would be the flotmeisa in Icelandic? (Bird names are so fun and weird.)

Thankfully, in this instance, the bird returned as soon as I left the kitchen. 🙂

@topgold 😄

@MitchW Oh, absolutely 🙂

@artkavanagh Yeah, I’m not on substack so I have to rely on reports like these about what’s happening there and, in this case it looks like it might be quite inaccurate.

@tracydurnell I was given permission to apply some scritches 🙂

@fgtech Yeah. The sad thing is that, at its peak, the mac app scene was magical. That period when Mac OS X had matured, the hardware was coming together, and the Mac indie software scene was in full swing was a second renaissance for the mac. And I think at this point we aren't going to be lucky enough to get a third.

@fgtech It is.

@torb yeah definitely weird.

@lwdupont You need to have multiple different keyboard languages enabled and a hardware keyboard connected, which isn’t an uncommon scenario when writing on an iPad.

@petebrown I mean, it’s one dude who has shipped five apps and keeps adding features such as transcripts and e2e encrypted notes. I don’t think slowing down the feature churn to test and fix longstanding UI and editing widget bugs is too much of an ask

@torb Never too late to start!

@petebrown Right!

@Denny Thanks!
