Fan of many things. 🎥 Video production. 👨‍💻 Enjoy technology and figuring out how things work.

👨‍👧‍👦Favorite thing in the whole world is being a dad. ✈️ Love to travel. 📚 Majored in history but didn’t use it. 🤷‍♂️

I post random thoughts. Follow me. You’ll be disappointed. 😀

I'm really proud of the #pixelfedApp I built from scratch, I've only heard good things about it which is so heccin' cool!

It was my first foray into React, and I did stumble a bit but eventually caught on and really pushed myself with the Live streaming feature with real time comments via websockets - just like IG.

To all the Android homies, we got you fam, should be ready in the next few days.

I wrote this three years ago:

“One day, Twitter and other publishing platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or Medium will indeed die, like so many sites before them. And every time this happens, we lose most of the content we created and with it a fair amount of our collective cultural history.”

One big difference I’ve noticed about Mastodon is that the image quality is so much nicer on posts. 📸

Just a PSA.

Mastodon v4 goes online on Monday.

Many server/instance admins will be updating.

I've ran through the process with the latest RC yesterday on my testbed and it all went well, but, like any update these things are prone to hiccups.

Keep that in mind if your server seems to go offline briefly, the admins will be trying their best

If you want to delete all your old Twitter DMs (which I think is a good idea even if Twitter might retain copies of them somewhere), and also your historical likes, RTs, and any tweets you don’t want to keep, I made a Twitter app for that.
It’s called Semiphemeral and it’s pretty easy to use. I posted instructions for how to do it https://twitter.com/semiphemeral/status/1591258781098594304?s=46&t=L4aWvmyNxEFRL6eULgeO-A

“As you watch in horror/delight as Elon burns this site to the ground you might be pondering your privacy 🤔. Do you have YEARS of tweets, likes, and DMs? https://t.co/EF6AVCPm2O Gather 'round, friends, while I show you how to DELETE THEM ALL (or as much as Twitter's API allows)”
