@calculsoberic My history with it served me well, as it made picking up Mac development a breeze.In Objective-C on Macs (and iPhones), the base classes still have the older NS prefix for NeXTStep.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_Kit

@laimis This should be a straightforward feature to add that keeps the site usable for you, but avoids the malignant gotcha behavior that can arise from searching others' posts (enabling search only through your own content).I haven't dived into the Mastodon server infrastructure yet, but I am interested in installing / developing a feature like this for my local server when I get some time to tinker a bit.

@anderspuck @laimis Derp. I should have remembered this, as I DID enable it on my own server!One fewer thing to build in the future...

@lowqualityfacts It's the least you can do for the inventor of TimTams and TimBits.

@atomicpoet That's some Highlander-esque zero-sum thinking from Random Guy! Too much Platform Thinking, and not enough looking-ahead Protocol Thinking.What gets me excited about all of this are not the Mastodons, *keys, Pixelfeds, etc., but instead the idea of augmenting existing sites with ActivityPub - such as my own @freshcomics - so that when I put new releases up, that release data shows up on the feeds of folks subscribed to the hash tag for a series or a favorite creator.#ActivityPub

@atomicpoet I'm old enough to remember when Push Computing was supposed to be the Next Big Thing, and it collapsed under its own weight due to corporate interests building their own proprietary stacks that never achieved the the critical mass to survive.Two decades later, ActivityPub looks like the protocol to FINALLY realize that potential, so thinking in such narrow terms of this just being social networking really misses the larger point. I see it as changing things the same way RSS did.

@realcaseyrollins I caught it on Amazon's commercial-laden FreeVee service and the quality was solid (at least when it wasn't being interrupted with commercials with drastically higher base volume levels).https://www.amazon.com/The-Prisoner/dp/B07F24RGLC

"If the rumors are true, Apple will drop the more-than-decade-old Lightning port from its phones and adopt USB-C today. That means: it’s time for iPhone buyers to purchase some new cables."Not me. I have a crap-ton of USB-C cables from that one time Apple let Jony Ive design a laptop and the only ports on them were USB-C. (I was pleasantly reminded that I didn't need a dongle to read an SD card yesterday on the new post-Ives machine.)https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/12/23859659/apple-cable-history-iphone-15-usb-c-lightning-mac-thunderbolt#Apple #PlannedObsolence #iPhone
