Black olive and Field Roast vegan pepperoni. So good I couldn’t get a picture before a slice disappeared.

evankstone,

@danielpunkass how is the vegan pepperoni? Any particular brand that you like/prefer?

I played through the majority of Jedi: Survivor and hit a familiar scenario. I had been enjoying exploring, finding secrets, taking in the story, etc but hit a boss fight that was absolutely miserable.

I couldn't go back to having fun until I got past it.

Old me would have been too stubborn to drop down to easy mode. Current me did it without hesitation and went back to enjoying the game.

evankstone,

@MuseumShuffle personally I would like to play it just to enjoy the story. Is easy mode genuinely easy?

Blender folks: I have a 180° frame from YouTube that I want to stretch inside a half-sphere to make it 180° immersive. The image is rectangular, so I'm struggling with the UV map since unwrapping a sphere cuts the corners off, and scaling it up loses the spherical effect. How would you reconcile that?

evankstone,

@christianselig @caseyliss I'm interested in getting started with Blender, but not quite sure where to start. I'm assuming YouTube tutorials?

Anyone remember Maskatron?

evankstone,

@gedeonm Wow. That brings back memories. 😄

I can also picture him with his “normal face,” and recall the smell of the plastic. Crazy. 🤯

We can rebuild him.
We have the technology.

@daniel what is the name of the service that you use to host your remote windows gaming? That sounded interesting.

Startup idea:

Build a web site with up to the minute data on all the streaming services, and their associated partnerships.

Customers go there, click on all their streaming services and partnerships, they have access to.

Get a report back that shows how to get what I want for the least amount of money, taking advantage of those partnerships.

This exist? 🤔💰

evankstone,

@davemark Would JustWatch be close enough? 🤔

I haven't used it, but it sounds very close to what you are suggesting, and a colleague of mine swears by it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just thought I'd throw it out there. 😁

I hope you are ready for this. Mark Moeyken’s new SwiftData Mastery book is coming out this Friday. Trust me, this is the definitive guide. Returning customers and early birds will get discount. I will be sharing an affiliate link on Friday.

evankstone,

@StewartLynch Looking forward to it! It's an area in which we need all the help we can get. 😃

Does using AppStorage constitute using UserDefaults, thereby requiring reporting it in "Required Reason APIs”?

Here is another one of those topics that take some time to grok. Check out this video on understanding, creating and using PreferenceKeys and learn to appreciate the power they hold.

evankstone,

@StewartLynch I had to do some work with it a little while back and it never quite worked the way I expected it to. 🤪

Looking forward to seeing your video on the subject! 😄

I’m making a new thing!

https://lightbeamapps.com/govjpro

It’s a realtime video mixing, VJing app for iPad ✨

#VJing #VJLife

evankstone,

@lb @dave Does GoVJ or one of its sibling products allow for unattended visualizations and transitions?

As a mobile DJ, I would love to be able to have an "AI VJ partner" that would handle the video side of things in an almost unattended fashion (with some setup and configuration, obviously).

That's pretty pie in the sky, but I don't even know if such a thing is realistic. 🤔

Oh wow, @PleaseDontRain was nominated for a Golden Apple award by @AppleVis !!! 😱

A year ago I was telling @christianselig that he was nominated. At that point I had only been working on my app for about two weeks. I never even imagined I would be a nominee a year later.

I've spent so much time on my accessibility support and this means so much to me!

Voting is for blind or low vision users, please.

superstar @klemensstrasser is nominated again also.

evankstone,

@MuseumShuffle @PleaseDontRain @AppleVis @christianselig @klemensstrasser Congratulations! 🎉

@scotty @djembe I could be on this, but I think @daniel said that he built @telemetrydeck with server-side Swift.

He would probably have a really good insights into the viability of using vapor or other frameworks to build web applications in Swift.

(It also happens to be a side interest of mine, but I just haven't had the time to really get into it too deeply yet. 🤷🏻‍♂️)

evankstone,

@daniel @scotty @djembe @telemetrydeck definitely supposed to be visible to you. 😉

On the latest episode of the iDeveloper podcast, Scotty was talking about his experiments with vapor and hummingbird, while ultimately returning to nodeJS for some backend development work.

He brought up some questions that I think a lot of us have wondered, whether vapor and other server side swift frameworks are ready for prime time for web or API development.

evankstone,

@daniel @scotty @djembe @telemetrydeck To me, it really seems like Vapor is definitely a good candidate because of its maturity, and I just thought of telemetry deck as a good example of a widely used server side Swift implementation. 👍🏻

Anyone know how resolve this problem to make this go away in SF Symbols app?

The only actionable option is “Visit Website” and there is almost no helpful information on the Apple Developer site that tells me why this alert appears.

Maybe from SF fonts that I installed in the past? I have no idea. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The dialog is misleading in several ways all at the same time. Very frustrating.

evankstone,

@JTostitos I'll give it a shot and see how it goes. Thanks for the suggestion! 👍🏻

I work with SwiftUI almost every day. So why do I have SwiftUI amnesia when I work on my side project? It's baffling.

It’s like I have to look up EVERYTHING. 🤪
