In an effort to better understand my diet, I asked the Kagi search engine (no AI, no ads) "what are the different types of dietary fats?" This was the number one hit: https://nutritionsource.hsph.harvard.edu/what-should-you-eat/fats-and-cholesterol/types-of-fat/

Written in plain English, found at a source I can trust, completely ad free, THIS provides exactly the information I was looking for without using an AI or wading through poor quality sponsored results.

In case you missed it, Owls in Towels has a new home on Mastodon https://mas.to/@owlsintowels

We share pictures of owls (in towels) and stories of wildlife rehabilitation.

Followers on the old instance will need to manually re-follow (since the server hosting us shut down before we had a chance to migrate, and we had to start afresh). It would be a tremendous help if you could boost this or tell someone you know about Owls in Towels! Thank you for your continued viewership and engagement 💛🦉

Friends, something NEW to share today! Frustrated by the existing guitar tuning apps, we made our own!

Simple, beautiful (we think) design.

Fun to work on something like this where you can really get into the details.

Share, go download, give it five stars! ★★★★★

In-headset view of the new Apple Vision Pro Vibescape environment I'm wrapping-up!

Insane amount of detail here. True displacement maps receive light and cast shadows on every little element, in a physically accurate way.

Really sells the sense of immersion and scale.

Boosted the shadows in the clip since the subtlety of a dark environment is hard to convey on a social video.

(Boosts are appreciated, as it helps me grow on this platform.)

My name is Brendan and I'm an indie Mac and iOS app developer. I write the app Tap Forms Database Pro. It's an awesome database construction app along the lines of Bento and FileMaker. Use it to keep track of anything you can imagine.

Please visit my home page to purchase a copy:

And if you could support an indie developer and boost this post I'd be very grateful.

Thanks!

Hi, friends.

I wrote an article on being a Mastodon moderator. I talk about the process, our mental health, the challenges of mutual aid, and more.

It leaves me a little vulnerable, but I think it’s an important story to tell.

If you like it, boosts are welcomed. If you have questions, feel free to reach out.

Okay, here goes…

People ask me what it’s like to be a moderator. Our discussions reveal that a lot of what we do is a mystery. So, I’m gonna lay it out for you. Specifically ab…

To answer a question about Metaballs: Spatial, yes — you can absolutely scale the Metaballs. Here's a quick example.

It uses native visionOS gestures so it's extremely intuitive and natural.

Please help me build a following here and boost to your network.
