given that the official Mastodon app is coming next year(?,) I’m going to FINALLY work on that iOS Mastodon Clients guide I’ve been meaning to write for the past four years.

I’d really appreciate any thoughts y’all have to share about specific apps (or about mobile social clients, in general.)

I just put out my first call for collaborators for "iPhone x Bluetooth Keyboard: The Definitive Guide"

I'd really appreciate anything you might have to share on the subject. #iOS #iPhone #Workflow https://dev.to/davidblue/embarking-upon-the-journey-to-write-the-definitive-guide-for-using-an-iphone-with-a-bluetooth-keyboard-4pmk

HERE IT IS!

REASONABLE PEOPLE:

here is what I have learned from the deepest trenches of the iOS developer community regarding MUSIC - in terms of listening, curating, sharing, capturing, and even producing. https://bilge.world/iphone-ios-music-apps

my blog’s About page is LONG overdue for a rewrite. here’s what I have so far. should I convert this issue into a GitHub Discussion? if you’d participate, I will immediately. https://github.com/extratone/bilge/issues/96

I was interviewed about writing software, Extratone, blogging, and self-curation. https://write.as/community/chat-with-david-blue

I guess it seems mundane, but this sort of analysis - attempting to depict how regular people actually consume news - is one of the most valuable potential functions of meta-media imo. https://existential.cjr.org/when/day-in-the-life-of-news-2

🤔

here are a few assumptions from which I’m writing. now would be a great time to “push back” if you’d like.

also a great time to shoot me in the head, if you’d like.

cropping photos? I have no idea what y’all are talking about. https://bilge.world/tweetbot-6-ios-review

invite me to your new york lit mag party so I can accost people about iPhone Bluetooth keyboard support. https://www.thedriftmag.com/editors-note-4/

dudes, instead of spamming where are you texts when she’s in the bathroom, go find the DJ and tell them u want that new VRIL shit. ayyy

and then maybe go face the corner and reflect on the nature of existence.

PLEASE just buy a bicycle. you have no idea what an impressive road bike you could have bought for the amount you’re spending on these.

I guess *145 BPM earthquake at the EPSON ENTERPRISE MANUFACTURING FACILITY* is just a bit too much to ask for right now.

pretty fuckin trashy. I can practically smell the BO radiating off those flat-billed hats through my phone. I’m never wearing the hat but… I like this. what a throwaway track. https://song.link/i/1563237772

This morning, I was locked out of my Google account

I chatted with Google support to see if they could help me. This is a genuine live chat with Google support:
