Having a fiber connection means I can now try GeForce Now's Ultimate tier, which is being upgraded to 4080 GPUs in some European server locations.

Here's Cyberpunk 2077, at Ray-Tracing Ultra quality, never dropping below 60fps. I am *streaming* this game on my iPhone via a web app.

Absolutely wild.

Not going to lie, Twitter killing off free API access hits me in the feels. I remember with great affection the flood of creativity that happened after we opened up the API, and it's heartbreaking to see that unceremoniously strangled.

I'm relieved that we've got better alternatives, though. While this is perhaps the final straw for many bots on Twitter, it's been a long time coming and the API has long been hobbled compared to the early days. Open protocols or bust. ✊

@zeealeid I should’ve been more clear but seems it’s a mock-up you did right? Looks real nice 👌🏼

Ah, gotta love malicious compliance.

Screenshot of a post to r/antiwork by u/VeryLargeMuffin:
Not allowed to work from home so I don't
My job recently told me that even during the snowstorm we got earlier this week, I am not allowed to work from home at all. Even though I work in IT and do everything remotely, they want me in the office.
So I deleted Teams and my email off my phone. I am no longer available after hours.
My boss tried to call me for something urgent last night and couldn't reach me. He asked why today and I explained to him what I was told.
I am not allowed to work from home.

Ivory by Tapbots is launching today.

This app marks the beginning of a new era for Mastodon clients on Apple platforms. It raises the bar in this category, but there’s still work to be done.

I reviewed Tweetbot 1.0 on MacStories in 2011; 12 years later, here is my review of Ivory 1.0:

Trying out remote development on a Linux VM running in Parallels for a app.

Works smoothly.

Will work with any Linux host that supports SSH.

The "feed reader" style interface for #Shuttlecraft is taking shape. Here is what it looks in my personal instance.

On the left, you see up to 20 people who have recently updated. Clicking on them leads to a view where you see all their recent posts.

If you are running Shuttlecraft already you can try out this branch: github.com/benbrown/shuttlecra

a screenshot of an upcoming update to shuttlecraft that changes the nav structure.  the ui has 2 columns. the left has some global nav like "latest" and "compose" followed by a list of users.  the right column shows a user's profile, with a header followed by a list of posts.

What alternate web interfaces are people digging for Mastodon? I know Elk elk.zone/ gets a lot of love and Mastodeck mastodeck.com/ is a great power-user option, but are there other gems out there?

Update: THANK YOU! You guys had so many suggestions and I'm going to start trying them out this week.

Hey .NET folks! I just released a new .NET 7 library called NWindows github.com/xoofx/NWindows to simplify manipulating (UI) Window and help creating higher level apps (games, multimedia apps) and UI Frameworks! There are a few samples available here github.com/xoofx/NWindows/blob

For now it supports only the Windows 10+ platform but help is much welcome for other platforms! (Linux, Mac, Android...) 🤗
