The obsequiousness of LLMs continues to be hilarious.

I'm going to be walking around all day with an extra bounce in my step and bursting with confidence because ChatGPT thought my pivot was great 😂

Paging #Swift #Concurrency experts! Is there any way to leverage KVO to synchronously update a property in one class in response to a change in another?

Note that both `MyClass` and `AVPlayer` are `@MainActor`, so I think this should be a safe thing to want to do... I just don't know how to do it!

EDIT: is this a good use case for `MainActor.assumeIsolated`?

The Apple Watch API that 3rd party apps use to display and control audio playback volume seems to have finally crapped out for good. It’s always been flaky, but now the volume circle is gray and non-functional in all 3rd party apps for me. Oh well.

This @ivory UI on the profile screen has always confused me, going back to the Tweetbot days. “COMMON FOLLOWERS” makes me think these are people that follow both this other person and me, but that’s not the case.

What actually is it? Is it people we both follow? As in, “you and this other person both follow these people”? Maybe it’s just me, but I think the copy could be clearer. 😅

The timeline for #PleistoceneClient is starting to feel really nice.

- ✅ Buttery smooth scrolling (tested on my iPhone 6S!)
- ✅ Maintains timeline position (I'm a completionist!)
- TODO: Syncs timeline position via Mastodon's Marker API
- TODO: Renders CWs, images, instance emojis

Seeing as I'm more of a lurker than a poster, I need to resist losing motivation once I achieve my ideal timeline UX. 😅

The “Newer from here” pull to refresh option in @tooot is a genius idea with great discoverability. As a timeline completionist, that’s exactly what I want 90+% of the time!

Trying to grok Mastodon verification... I updated my blog with a link to my mastodon profile with `rel="me"` as described on the Edit Profile page, but so far I don't see anything different in my profile indicating that my blog link is verified. Am I missing something? Or do I just need to wait for a crawler to run?
