Is there anyone going to WWDC that would be willing to snag me a shirt from Apple Park?

Just pushed a bunch of changes to my website - https://chrishannah.me.

  • New sidebar
  • Bunch of slash pages
  • Better footer (with icons)
  • Redesigned home page that highlights recent content of all types (micro posts, essays, photo, blog posts)

I logged into my Bluesky account this morning to see what was going on with the platform (and to post a blog link). Most of the people who I follow haven’t posted in months, others have deleted their accounts completely.

Is Bluesky a dying social media platform?

@CodeMacLife it seems to be the parking spot for all the video game journalists I followed, but that’s it.

@instantiatethis the woman across the street from us when I was growing up, had a ferret that she took on a walk every day.

Soliciting ideas: tell me about a time when technology was helpfully unhelpful for you.

Examples:

  • the smoke alarm going off while you’re standing right there cooking/burning something
  • your Apple Watch notifying you that the child you’re holding is crying very loudly

Happy final day of #weblogpomo2024! I have 2 posts for you today:

Nobody likes to think about what happens when you fall off the wagon (missed post from yesterday; I explain why) https://niclake.me/derailment

And my recap of the things I learned blogging every* day for Weblog Posting Month https://niclake.me/weblogpomo-recap

@instantiatethis@keyboards.social avatar

If I get my Adderall through mail service instead of the local pharmacy it saves me $25 per month. BUT they won't fill it until I run out & processing & shipping is slow unless you pay extra (even then it is not next day) so I end up being out of it for a week+. Because it is a controlled substance it also requires a signature so unless I happen to be home when the no tracking package comes I have to drive further than my pharmacy to pick it up. American healthcare can just fuck right off. #adhd

@instantiatethis recent adhd diagnosis myself. I can’t even imagine having to go through this - I forgot my meds once and it derailed everything for a week. 💜

A WeblogPoMo Retrospective https://rknight.me/blog/weblogpomo-retrospective/

The final day of #WeblogPoMo2024 and there has been so many great posts. I've picked out a few of my faves, did some stats on my posts, and found my most popular ones. Until next year 🫡

How did this get through App Review?

@niclake@mastodon.social avatar

@paul I guess it depends on what they’re using it for. Do they have some sort of assistive shopping technology that lets you path your way to an object in the store?

Did you hear the story about how $400k worth of Playdates were misdelivered by FedEx to a construction site near our warehouse? And then someone just… stole them? Seriously.

Well, guess what got hastily dumped at a random restaurant this morning?

Welcome back stolen Playdates!

STOP

I have sent that so many times since campaign season kicked in.

Just stop. I'll vote the way I always do and am disillusioned enough with your party that you're not getting any money from me, even with your 700% MATCH! bullshit. If you can match my donation, just put in your 700% and we'll call it a day.

@CodeMacLife Thankfully, that's easy enough to disable. But yeah, gross.

Opened another 500 TestFlight slots for the new Reeder preview (see previous posts). There's still a lot to do but it's slowly getting to a usable state.

I Like Your Blog If... https://louplummer.lol/post/i-like-your-blog-if As I spend less and less time on commercial websites and more time exploring the blogs on IndieWeb platforms, I am developing a type and preferences. There's plenty to choose from.

I like tech but not too much tech

For better or worse, it takes a fairly technical person to... #WeblogPoMo2024

Boy the Apple Private Relay thing continues to be a problem for Tapestry Kickstarter backers. Don’t worry though, we’ll get your reward delivery sorted. 👍
