I'm moving over to https://social.lol/@pigpog - but I've loved being here. A huge thank you to @GossiTheDog for making this instance and running it so well, it's much appreciated.

Two reasons - I sometimes want to boost art nude photography, and there's a 'no nudity' rule here; and I'm doing so much else with omg.lol now that I might as well do the toots there too.

Is it just me, or was there only about a week between “Shame there isn’t a really *good* Mastodon app” and “I just don’t have time to try all the amazing Mastodon apps”?

Happy new year! Another year means another year-long keogram! Every 15 seconds throughout 2022, my trusty all-sky camera took a picture of the sky above the Netherlands. Combining these 2.1 million images into a year-long keogram reveals this picture, which shows the length of the night change throughout the year (the hourglass shape), when the Moon was visible at night (diagonal bands), and the Sun higher in the sky during summer, as well as lots and lots of clouds passing overhead.

Ivory for Mastodon is out! I’ve been on the beta and it’s really well done. Probably the best designed Mastodon client I’ve used. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ivory-for-mastodon-by-tapbots/id6444602274

An absolute kick in the teeth to all the indie devs who worked so hard to make Twitter a better experience for so many. Twitterrific was officially discontinued today and pulled off the App Store after 16 years of development. Among other firsts, they first used "tweet" to describe an update, first used a bird icon, and were the first native client on iPhone and Mac. https://blog.iconfactory.com/2023/01/twitterrific-end-of-an-era/

Twitterrific: End of an Era • The Breakroom

Twitterrific has been discontinued. A sentence that none of us wanted to write, but have long felt would need to be written someday. We didn’t expect to be writing it so soon, though, and certainly not without having had time to notify you that it was coming. We are sorry to say that the app’s […]

My favourite review on Google Maps is for an Antarctic research station. Unfortunately, their penguin is not a people pleaser.

Well, that was a little bit of excitement. Just witnessed a car crash, without even leaving my chair. Van reversed out of a parking space straight into a car going up the road.

Let's pour one out for third-party Twitter clients:

Apps that shaped UI conventions, pioneered a market, and in many ways reinvented how we communicate online – unceremoniously killed off by a clown who thinks he's the smartest guy around because he has money.

These apps didn't deserve to end up like this.

Twitter Intentionally Ends Third-Party App Developer Access to Its APIs

Late yesterday, The Information reported that it had seen internal Twitter Slack communications confirming that the company had intentionally cut off third-party Twitter app access to its APIs. The shut-down, which happened Thursday night US time, hasn’t affected all apps and services that use the API but instead appears targeted at the most popular third-party
