I'm seriously considering a blog series where I roast companies for not having baseline accessibility in their iOS app. Is that something people would be interested in?

@nprofile…dtx9 Fixed! Thank you for letting me know.

How about this UI?
According to this configurator cheese is worth $2.50, so removing regular mozzarella and adding vegan mozzarella should only increase the price by $2.00.

Yesterday I spent some time playing vkQuake. It runs really well, and I'm happy to report that blasting demons (or whatever they are) is still a lot of fun.

This recipe channel and site are great. Every recipe we've tried has been easy, and the results have been great.
Some of these holiday recipes are absolute bangers.

In my mind LLMs occupy a similar space as tutorials. They can be useful for getting started, but it's very easy to get trapped in LLM hell where you're grinding out prompts without understanding much of anything.
Most of the time what I really want it better documentation with more examples.

This coffee shop has a Just Egg vegan breakfast bagel that is calling my name.

This is such a bad policy.
Why should a meh all vegan restaurant get more stars than an excellent restaurant that provides vegan options?

There are too many inboxes to keep track of.

I just read a job listing that requires Objective-C and iOS 8. 🫣

I’m about halfway through the first Wheel of Time book, and I’m enjoying it. I definitely needed to read something purely escapist for a change.

I'm still looking for my next role, and the sooner the better.
I have 10+ years of professional iOS experience, along with many other technologies, and I enjoy collaborating with others to build great app for users.
I am open to 1099 or W2.

@npub17cs…fsmn That’s a decent configuration. My main regret on ‘20 is not going bigger on the SSD.

@npub1rky…0xq2
I'm trying to add a link to my personal landing page that will open up my mastodon profile in Ivory. The following launches the app, but doesn't open my profile:
ivory://iosdev.space/@kern
I noticed your domain and profile work as expected. Is there something I can do on my end to get this working correctly?

@npub1t8h…y5al Is that for a specific piece of Apple kit?

2024-05-13 03:56:32

I might have a screenshot hoarding issue.

Hello Fediverse!
I grew up programming in Applesoft Basic, and now I spend my days writing apps for Apple products.
I’m looking for my next role part-time or full-time. Please get in touch if you would like to work with me!

@npub1tuz…y7d3 These look great. If I wasn’t an iOS developer I would probably switch to an e-ink phone.

We were lucky enough to experience sunny and stormy weather at Crater Lake.
This time of year the crowds are minimal and dispersed camping is a breeze.
