I think I might give Mastodon another go and try to stay off twitter for a while. I know I’m going to miss a lot of people on there who aren’t on here, so I may try to figure out some way to keep up to date with just those people instead of seeing my full feed.

So is there a good native macOS app for Mastodon yet, ~~or am I going to have to write my own?~~

"Oh, so he's a Pokémon trainer!" #GrantPlaysDnD

Bard/Blood Hunter: "I need you to use protection, the battlefield is no place for a pregnant woman."
Paladin: "Did someone say protection?"

I’ve rolled three natural 1s in this encounter. After the most recent one, I jokingly rage quit from the Discord call. Apparently, I rolled another natural 1 for that. #GrantPlaysDnD #DnD

I keep going back to bird site every once in a while to check up on people that are only on there and aren't on Mastodon, and, boy, it really doesn't take long to remember why I try to use it less and less.

For example, if I have an app that shows blog posts, and I want to look at a list of all blog posts, I should only fetch the things I need (title, date posted, number of comments, for example) as a dictionary result type, and never as an array of Post managed objects.

The more I work with Core Data, the more I think I should never be just fetching objects directly; that, instead, I want to be fetching only the data I need and only in the structure I need.

I've seen the UPS truck on my street so many times on the "Follow My Delivery" page, and yet I don't have a new Apple Watch on my wrist yet.

T-5-ish hours until new watch time.
