I have discovered a truly marvelous proof, which 140 characters is too short to contain.

Not sure if I own @farktronix or if that’s something that someone else registered to troll me
Currently trying to overcompensate for that mistake and set up my own Mastodon instance on farktronix.com.
A couple years later and I’m back on here and realizing again that I misspelled my name. πŸ™ƒ
farktronix (Jacob Farkas) | Keybase

farktronix (Jacob Farkas) is now on Keybase, an open source app for encryption and cryptography.

It took me this long to realize I misspelled my own username on Mastodon :(

Here's a neat iOS developer trick I just figured out:

If you use background fetch, save a ton of memory by not loading your real UI until didBecomeActive (use a splash screen instead). When a user opens the app, it'll load the UI, but if the system just wants to launch to refresh then shut down, it can save all that memory / work.

We cut memory usage during refreshes by about 60%

Do any iOS mastodon clients save your timeline position?
Looks like it's a requirement that Mastodon servers use a goofy TLD.
