I always find it really challenging to explain Dota to anyone who hasn’t played it. Even if they play other video games, what can you say about it that’s specific enough to give them an idea of what it’s like, while also being generic enough for them to understand without having spent the last few years living and breathing it?
Not to toot my own horn or anything, but this week has been a great week for my daily Apple news roundups. Most of the time it's pretty standard stuff, and it can all get a bit same-y, but I dunno, I'm really happy with how this week's news turned out, likely helped in part by new Apple products. Have a read, and let me know what you think? https://appletalk.com.au/

I’m now beta testing Tusk (iOS Mastodon client) by @pcperini, and as per usual, I both like and dislike a number of things about it. Really should put some serious thought into writing my own client (or just wait until Tootbot comes out).
Pocket Weather AU is going away and I am sad the best iOS weather apps for Australians will eventually no longer work https://blog.shiftyjelly.com/2018/08/31/everything-that-begins-must-also-end/
