PlaydateKit now includes an xkcd reader example, thanks to @paul!
It’s a great demo of the Playdate networking APIs and shows how you can integrate C libraries for things like QR code generation and PNG decoding with Swift’s C interop.

I am doing a pretty poor job of ignoring the news.

First time doing this, but for the rest of the week Hand Mirror+ is only $2.99 (50% off) — it's a one time purchase, so if you get it now you'll still get all future big features, including the upcoming Snaps 📸

‎"App You Didn't Know You Needed" — App Store Hand Mirror is a super simple app that lives in your Menu Bar (little cozy top right corner of your Mac) and gives you a one-click access camera check! ‣ Need to jump on a video call?

I am now seeing (some) AI-generated video summaries on YouTube.

This summary is pretty bad since it is for a comedy sketch.

NOTE: Pay no attention to the fact that I watch a 2-minute comedy sketch at 1.75x.

Today I’m starting a brand new adventure as a Developer Advocate at RevenueCat!! 🙀

I’m beyond excited to try something a little new to me at a company I’ve been admiring from afar for a while. Thrilled to get to learn from such a stacked team. I just hope I can keep up! 😅

Shopify is still committed to invest in Ruby and Rails, but very sadly the Ruby and Rails Infrastructure team did get smaller today.

Some of the most competent engineers and finest humans I've ever worked with are now available for hire. Can I make an intro?

DMs are open.

Bit of a long shot, but could my good mastodon follower folk give me some boosts?

I'm starting work on a documentary podcast series about the future of space; renewable/sustainable technologies, commercialism in the sector and the public's perception of it all.

I'm hoping to connect with people who know space to complement my client's contacts, so any signal boosting would be appreciated!

Arguing with my wife about whether we need to upgrade our health insurance from $1700 a month to $2500 a month just because my youngest might be having health issues and there are no specialists that he needs to see in our current insurance network. All while having not seen a single paycheck in over 3 months now. 🫤 #america #thingsaregoinggreat
I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.
