I haven't posted here in forever (sorry) but happy (late) ace week!!
I was kind of proud of myself. Installed a Ghost blog from scratch on a DreamCompute instance. I know it’s simple for you devs, but for a Liberal Arts dork like me, it was a great success
Political violence in the US
But antifa, socialists, and BLM are the ones destroying the US.
I’ve never experienced this level of vitriol, violence, and hatred over politics before. I may be still (kinda) young, but this shit is beyond insane
I’m so sick of Facebook and Twitter and other nonsense networks. Want to get back to actively using Mastodon.
What is everyone’s favorite client for iOS? I’m using Toot! but am open to suggestions.
Biggest perks for me are sharing links, photos, videos, and an easy UX/UI for conversations

I, of course, am playing with fire and am on the iOS 14.2 public beta. The 2nd one is more buggy than the first one. There seems to be a problem wit AirPods randomly disconnecting

2,224 words on the new book tonight. Our heroes have been driven into a swamp and it's not going to be a fun time for them! I'm over 42k words, now, which I think is a little over a third done! Not bad for three weeks. 😎🪶

No, holding someone's identity to ransom for 'good behavior' is never okay.
This includes deciding not to use their chosen name. Even an online one if it's the one they go by in their community.
Basically, if you're changing how you address/refer to someone to show contempt, you're in the wrong.

Can an iOS app developer tell me why there is a glut of .io games and why this junk is so popular? Data mining?
Just, god this song breaks my heart.

I took a walk before the sun decided to flash fry everyone.
I didn’t realize how lovely my neighborhood is! I love living here!
Apparently I’m both Diana Troy AND Q! Like they have so much in common 😂
I’ll empathically put all of humanity on trial!
Because I care about you when I’m annoying the hell out of you 💖❤️

Anyone dumb like me and on the iOS 14 Beta?
Of course I’m an idiot and running it on my only device
Political rant
The 2020 election cycle has shown us that easy access to the whole of human knowledge doesn't make us more intelligent.
It has exposed humanity as idiots.
Social Media is a Toilet.

Hi everyone!
Does anyone know how to do https verification with Keybase.io for this instance?
I’m not a developer. But I understand Apple creating a walled garden with its ecosystem. My mom has an Android phone and I’m having to constantly remove malware and spyware from the “legitimate” apps she’s gets from the Play store.
As for the 30% fee Apple imposes, I would think that’s a bit high if I were a developer limited to the App Store.
CEO of Epic Games says App Store is an 'absolute monopoly'
