If I were to be in a Swift conference (that is, as a speaker), and if that conference was either in the US or the UK, I don't think they would want me in there: - The US has become too hostile (social media checks sound so stupidly authoritarian). - The UK has their stupid age verification system.

I went ahead and made a Swift package for making an SRS system similar to WaniKani (including making a review engine that feels close to WaniKani). I intend to open source it, but I want to make a video about it as well + create a server using Vapor. #Swiftlang

So apparently, "ATProtoFoundation" has already been used for a Swift package. *sigh... fair enough. I think my plan B now is to simply re-architect ATCommonTools into what I was originally going to do with (the package formally named) ATProtoFoundation.

Be the change you want to see in the atmosphere

I’m failing this from time to time. Not necessarily because I don’t know it… … but because I keep typing the wrong Japanese letters. This time? I accidentally used “あ” instead of “か”. This is embarrassing… 😔

Me: "Oh! I got all of my reviews correctly! I must be doing wel--" WaniKani: "NO YOU'RE NOT!"

192gb ram time 👀

I hate app.bsky.ageassurance. This is the reason why it's taking so long to update the lexicons this time; my brain is physically resisting this change.

Fun fact: my favourite insect is the dung beetle. "Oh my goodness! They roll poop!" But they're so cute... 🥺 And they're so smart, rolling it into a perfectly round ball with their back legs.

Three more stars until 200. Can we get ATProtoKit to 200 before the end of the week? 🙏 #Swiftlang #ATProto #atdev

How it's started.

I wish GitHub had the option to send a push notification (in the official mobile app) for any comments (not just the ones you've been pinged for). I tend to miss new issues and PRs, which frustrates me greatly.

🎉 10 years of open source Swift! A decade ago today, we opened Swift to the world with a simple blog post: swift.org/blog/welcome What's grown since—thanks to an incredible community of contributors—has been extraordinary. Here's to the next ten years. 🧡

I'm at 194 stars. 6 more stars until I reach 200 stars. Please give this a star if you haven't already. github.com/MasterJ93/AT...

So I've been (re-)learning Japanese for the past couple of weeks. I haven't said this before, but I have massive amount of respect for the Japanese: three alphabets, all of them more than the English alphabet, and one of them has *thousands* of characters...

The Raptors' winning streak just ended. Damn. 😔

Oh dear... Not only are there more TypeScript packages in in the ATProto repository, but I'm ALSO dealing with having to go through the oath-types package (... again), as well as, potentially, common and common-web. Also, did and identity seems to also be updated. 😰

I'm seeing a number of ATProto projects getting grants from Bluesky, PBC, but... I wasn't aware of this. When did they announce their intention to do that?

I wish there were more VPS providers that have AMD and even ARM chips for the vCPUs. I’m… just really not fond of Intel. 😅 (My VPS doesn’t use Intel CPUs: just AMD.)

My dad showed me Jazz Jackrabbit 2. When I was 8 years old. Also, Jazz Creation Station. That... pretty much launched my career (yes, I know you can't have a career when you're 8 years old, but it was indeed the launchpad of several interests, which ultimately led me here).

Hot take: Apple Silicon is "boring," and that's a GOOD thing, because "boring" means "predictable," and "predictable" means you can actually plan ahead instead of fearing the system will melt. (Yes, I'm still living the trauma of the Intel days. God, Intel-based Macs had a lot of problems.)

I would love to help work with Streamplace. There are a few issues, though: 1. (The obvious one) I'm tied up fully with ATProtoKit right now;...

I could just make Godot tutorials and have Swift code be used instead of GDScript (I hate GDScript) or C# (now I *do* like C#),... ... but I know I'll get, like, five views and that's it because people want to see GDScript/C#, soooo... ... yeah... That's probably not gonna happen anytime soon.

Never thought this would happen (a Canadian municipal government account verifying Bluesky accounts) but here we are...

This is something that I've been thinking for a while now, and I feel like I should be contributing to this space (more than just making AT Protocol full-stack stuff). But I want to do it in a way that's comfortable for me, even if it'll end up being a small niche of a niche. I'll try. #Swiftlang

The more I work on the ATProtoKit family, the more "limited" I'm at concerning maintaining Swift 5.9–5.10 compatibility.

Okay, that is freaking cool:

... huh. The resilientautistic.com domain has never been bought. ... really? Seriously? NEVER been BOUGHT!? ... okay.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction Recovery log: Day 6 I gave up: I bought poutine. And I eat it like soup. I regret nothing. (I know my dentist will get upset at me if I told him... 🙃)

The AT Protocol's slogan should be "you can just do things," because that's all I'm hearing at this point. 😅

⚙️ Swift progress on embedded Swift, for memory-safe, fast code in resource-constrained environments. The latest updates are coming to Swift 6.3, and you can read more here: www.swift.org/blog/embedde... #IoT

I feel a bit better now (though I still need to take the antibiotics and painkillers). I can finally get back to work. Starting with... tools.ozone.moderation.defs. (What a pain in the butt... 🫠)

Wisdom teeth extraction recovery log: Day 4 The cookies are calling out to me. They want me to eat them. They even talk in my sleep. But I can’t eat them because the dentist is still saying “no crumbs.” 😭

object storage costs for this will cost me around $20 every month going forward. i’ve picked up new hardware and a some other recurring costs recently as well. if you want to help support: github.com/sponsors/uni... ko-fi.com/bad_example

Geez... Australia really can't catch a break, can they? 😐

I’m 10 stars away from getting to 200 stars on GitHub for ATProtoKit. Please do consider starring it, especially if it’s given you some value. I hope to reach 200 stars before the end of the year. #ATProto #Swiftlang #atdev

I haven’t been able to sleep since after I had my wisdom teeth extraction. Also, there’s the issue that I’ve been extremely slow in reactions when using my computer. So I unfortunately will have to refrain from coding for the weekend.

I’m out of the dentist place and on painkillers. Okay, so I didn’t say anything *truly* stupid, but I still apologize for saying what I said. I asked my friend what I said while on sedatives and she said nothing, but I don’t believe her; I must have said some weird stuff. 🤣

I love you guys whee is the besrist governor?

Me, every time I see there's a change in tools.ozone.moderation.defs:

Today is my last full day before I go under the knife (erm… dentist knife?) for my final wisdom tooth extraction. I’ll try my best to release an update for ATProtoKit before then. After that, I’ll be out of commission for the next week. Wish me luck. 🍀

🚀 Swift is now officially supported on Amazon Linux 2023! This makes deploying Swift apps to AWS easier than ever. Try it: sudo dnf install swiftlang. The future of Swift keeps getting brighter... @awscloud.bsky.social #Linux docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2023...

One way Autistic people can be misunderstood is when we’re trying to be very thoughtful w/ our words under stress Some of us stumble Some of us go blank Some of us have scripts locked & ready to go we don’t want to be misunderstood They can misinterpret our thoughtfulness with intent to deceive

Ask any software developer. They’ll tell you the same thing. There is no amount of time smaller than 1 millisecond.

The frosted glass option on iOS 26 and macOS 26 feels… weird. I think I’m going back to the clear one. I did advocate for frosted glass in the past, but after seeing it, I admit I was wrong. Clear all the way. 🤣

an overview of the current state of blogging on atproto, and how it gives insight on what decentralisation on atproto actually looks like in practice

I see that the lexicons have been updated once again. I'll try to get ATProtoKit updated with the latest changes within 24 hours or so.

released three new experimental features for reddwarf.app today. you can now send and receive bites, and also view posts from bridgy/wafrn with their original formatting

For a long time, I thought that the furry community would eventually make a system where they have electronically controlled tails, and it would move depending on their thoughts. Think, a device that monitors your brainwaves.
