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

also extremely pleased the grumpy bitch weather app won for interaction.

this is so wonderful. what a brilliant idea. this is the sort of story I want to hear more in software - those that remind you why we did any of this.

"The Skin Enthusiast" may very well be the most alarming name I've ever seen for an organization. https://www.joinclubhouse.com/club/TheSkinthusiast

hello Mastodon...

damn... maybe I should revive this movie idea after all these years as an NFty! http://bit.ly/furryblimp

when I can tell you with 100% certainty that the number of unintentionally unused CSS declarations on the greater web right now legitimately poses a vastly greater "threat" to "democracy" than China's research and development investments in ??? just being mostly independent?

it's not quaint that the United States needs a "common enemy" in order to "have a shot" at ???... it's just imperialist and insane as hell to be so fucking worried that The United States might become the *number two power on the planet*.

while you, the United States Senate, and The New York Times spoke of China's possible self-sufficiency as if it was some great global conspiracy destined to destroy "democracy" forever (lol @ ur democracy,) the entire fucking internet was affected because of one wrong config.

the amount of legitimately spiteful ads I see regularly, now, probably indicates some profound truth about ad tech's algorithms which I am completely uninterested in exploring.

something doesn't feel quite right.

I scored 5 in Four Squares! https://foursquares.app/challenge/endless?seed=6536273656311190141&difficulty=normal&sequenceLength=5

well hey! I've waited so long to finish my thing about Twitter Spaces exclusion that it was done for me! hell yeah. https://www.theverge.com/22519705/clubhouse-social-audio-accessibility

I put something on GitHub that's actually of use to someone! finally just collected the image files from that emoji mashup article. https://github.com/extratone/emoji

too exhausted to search for Tweets joking about Facebook hardware to thread it but… here we fucking go. Facebook hardware. https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/9/22526266/facebook-smartwatch-two-cameras-heart-rate-monitor

I appear to have successfully communicated something today! incredible.

I really wanted to *at least* get this done before the end of the World Wide Direct Current Week, but I’m still messing around with it/debating on whether or not I should try to get developers on the horn for some brief recorded interviews.
