I just finished Day 101 of the #100DaysOfSwiftUI It is done!

I just finished Day 93 of the #100DaysOfSwiftUI Been moving slower than I would have liked. But the finish line is just within reach.

I see people saying stuff like "why criticize Substack but give other problematic platforms (like, say, YouTube) a pass? Which is a fair point. Thing is, YouTube is a quasi-monopoly for sharable video. Substack wants to have a newsletter monopoly but *isn't there yet*. And it should never happen.

I cannot truly explain how it feels to have previously been a contributing writer to a paper that has now dedicated itself to destroying my community. I want to say it's weird, or scary. But it's more than that. It's radically destabilizing. My past and present selves don't recognize each other.

I just finished Day 65 of the #100DaysOfSwiftUI With WWDC and the One More Thing conferences next week, I am so ready to complete this program and be on my way to shipping something to the App Store. @twostraws.bsky.social, see you in a few days!

Final final finalized. 📓😌

I just finished Day 50 of the #100DaysOfSwiftUI The momentum is real now.

I just finished Day 38 of the #100DaysOfSwiftUI First social update on it since November. 😮‍💨 www.hackingwithswift.com/100/swiftui/38

@pasisalenius.bsky.social I just found your app Maptrails! I’ve been wanting to make something similar for my iPad and shocked at the dearth of native options. Thanks for making something so beautiful. 🙂

Warms my heart knowing that librarians, archivists, and data hoarders alike are joining together in response to the federal data purge. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

I really gotta cut down on my screen time.

Another one got out. 🥲

After all these years, it turns out I was the monster under the bed all along.

The last few times I’ve had trouble sleeping, throwing a YouTube video on about systemd has worked great to knock me out. Trouble is now I’m starting to take an interest in it and the whole strategy backfired last night. Stayed awake through an entire conference talk.

“I can’t leave Substack, the alternatives charge monthly fees!” For a mid-sized paid newsletter, you will pay: Ghost Pro: $149–$269/month Beehiiv: $131–$218/month Buttondown: $239/month Mailchimp: $285/month Substack: $700/month

You know what we do on the Discord server I co-administrate comes across someone who’s been consistently a problem on other sites/servers? We either ban them or preemptively disinvite them from the server. It’s not that hard. We have to protect the people who depend on us to moderate.

There may come a day when I can't add anything else to my pfp. But today is not that day. It's a living document.

Such a great piece. Thanks Ray!

On Jesse Signal , his abuse of trans people via his platform , and Bluesky’s radio silence and quiet refusal to enforce its own TOS , which he is flagrantly violating openly , equally across the board .

Whenever someone tells me about a new application that uses “web technologies”, I just know that it’s gonna use way too much memory and stutter when simply resizing its window.

Installed TrueNAS Scale. Let's do this thing. 😎

Huh, just got my first Tsunami warning. Neat.

Taking Precalculus and Trigonometry rn and I’m finally understanding why my SAT score wasn’t so hot. May be a decade later but at least now I know.

We don't need more remakes of old movies. We need more MUPPETS remakes of old movies.

Gonna be dreaming about HTML MediumBlue tonight.

I just finished Day 32 of the #100DaysOfSwiftUI 🥳 Loving the material, but it still feels like I'm on step 1 of a million-mile journey.

I am pleased to report I killed the mosquito that was in my apartment all night. 😤

For those that register too many domains, how short is too short? Feels like a never ending quest to trim an extra character while retaining the same meaning.

Where the SF Swift folks at? Make sure to get in on this Starter Pack!

Excel + Sheets were my last holdouts before changing to iWork for personal use. They were so familiar and well documented. But let me tell you this: once you get over the hill on Numbers, there's no going back.

Did you know Bluesky has built-in RSS feeds? If you add /rss to a profile URL, it will load in any RSS reader. Perfect thing for those of us who have 15 year old gaming keyboards. I should totally add @f4mi.bsky.social to this...

my favorite thing about the huge growth of bluesky in the last few weeks is that I was right

Can someone convince the fine people making high ppi, 2x integer scaled monitors and the cool people making high refresh rate monitors to do a collab? Would love to see a 5K 120hz display hit the market.

Being trans is a prayer for something better. Transness is belief in a better world.

I know Starter Packs are getting a lot of love, but Custom Feeds are another killer feature. Just added one for a new special interest and it’s like finding a gold mine. Opens up whole new communities for people to interact with.

I just finished Day 31 of the #100DaysOfSwiftUI 📚🤖

Shout out to all the professional and hobbyist learn-it-alls out there. Hope you’re having a funky Monday.

Speaking as an expert on transphobia and the gender critical movement: Block them. Hide replies. Report them. Do not "debate" them. The fact that they are campaigning so hard against blocking and in favour of debate/their right to harassment should tell you - it serves their interests to engage.

sorry i wasn’t skeeting this weekend, i was with real women (wouldn’t expect a lot of you to understand anyway) and i was doing something cool (playing video games and watching the good place)
