I'm trying a #Mastodon #experiment:

Mirrored.Social is an instance that will #mirror some popular accounts from other social networks.

Here are some mirrors you can try out:

https://mirrored.social/@daringfireball
https://mirrored.social/@nasa
https://mirrored.social/@spacex
https://mirrored.social/@MKBHD
https://mirrored.social/@thephysicsgirl

Complete list so far is here: https://mirrored.social/about

This is all beta for now BTW. More mirrors will be added soon.

My vision for an App Store 2.0. A compromise I think works for Apple, all developers, and users: https://www.cerebralgardens.com/blog/entry/2020/08/25/app-store-2 #iOSdev #AppStore #Apple #Epic #freefortnite

I’m planning to kill this, unless someone convinces me not to. The current feeds broke in early June, so it’ll take some work to get them publishing again. And I’m not sure it’s worth the ~$20/month it costs me to run it, especially since the instance is blocked by mastodon.social ...

If anyone has a reason I should keep/fix it, speak up now.

Thanks.

It’s taken me about 5 years to finally put this post together. It’s my 2020 WWDC Security Wish List. 7 security features I’d like to see in iOS.

Merry Christmas!

All those years of playing basketball finally paid off. I couldn’t have done it without my hard working teammates or my little league coach. #WeTheNorth #raptors

I thought Twitter was going to break the tool I’m currently using to create the mirrors. But it seems to be working still. Maybe I should add some more requested accounts. Server May need to be bumped up a level though. It’s running out of memory with Mastodon 3.0.1

Wow, a few of my mirrored.social accounts have amassed quite a few followers:

@elonmusk@mirrored.social -> 1.2K
@nasa@mirrored.social -> 644
@DuckDuckGo@mirrored.social -> 615
@Snowden@mirrored.social -> 311

The #AlwaysOn #AppleWatch display is killer. Multiple times today I’ve glanced at my watch, got the info I needed, and the screen either didn’t go bright at all, or did so as I was putting my wrist down again. Now we just need to let 3rd party apps be always on.

The Game Of Thrones concert was awesome. One noticeable problem: the 100+ft screen showing clips of the show had crazy banding & compression artifacts for the season 8 clips. Doesn’t bode well for the Blu-Ray release being any better!

I feel like I’m being watched... #gameOfThrones

I’m decommissioning a Mac Mini that’s at MacStadium. Anyone looking to add one there soon that would be interested in this one? Instead of having me ship it back to Canada?

2012 i7 4-core, 16 GB Ram, 250 GB SSD etc.

It is proven! I am davewood on Keybase: https://keybase.io/davewood/sigchain#9ea102463c2c20ba01ff2c0d5223dbc07c49da60fa9991a90fac440d17c3c0f20f

Any devs I know interested in a contract updating (or maybe even completely replacing) a React Native app? DM me and I’ll put you in contact with the client. I don’t have enough time available to do it myself or I would.

It’s time to start treating people who buy new gas cars, the way we treat people who buy fur coats.

I wish I could be this relaxed one day...

It’s that time of year again, I blogged something about #WWDC: https://www.cerebralgardens.com/blog/entry/2019/05/31/my-wwdc-2019-wish-list
