to be clear: i'm the victim here, okay? :​P

my life consists of a series of nerd-snipes in close succession

gotta love slack field validation logic

Grattis! 🥳

Boiling down to: is it possible to use expo and have a painless "off boarding" should they choose to either paywall or change licensing model to something absurd later on (similar to Unity)?

My main fear is that it's hiding *a lot* of complexity behind a free(-ish?) product that can become paid as soon as the benefactors decide to make a profit.

Ah, that's a different question altogether IMO: Both React (with Vercel's Next.js) and React Native (with Expo) are really opinionated to direct new users to use these third-party frameworks (both of which have paid components).

I've always avoided it as much as possible because I'm under the impression that it becomes sort of an "unremovable" dependency (that is managed by someone other than FB/React Native itself). Am I wrong? (really not used to RN, so genuine question)

The worst part about migrating to new microblogging apps is rebuilding the whole following list you had before. My timeline is getting better and better but I don't appreciate having to re-find every cool person I had on _the previous network_.

This is sort of amazing

A virtual certificate with text "Celebrating 10M users on Bluesky, #20,199, Rafael ‪@objective.cos.tax‬, joined on Apr 14, 2023"

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #20199!

Beginner pro tip: blocking is a “the vibes are off” button, don’t overthink it

I need a BlueSky macOS app :(

Using the iOS version is pain

Tried _a specific Music service_ and I found it comically bad how their suggestions were (for me). Onboarding for retention is still the hardest thing I see…

you can always spot a twitter user in the wild by how they type because only in the fires of hell does someone gain the experience to reflexively know how to write under the assumption that the most annoying person imaginable will grossly misread the original point.

Too accurate lmao

Anyone know if there any way to disable NameDrop programatically on iOS 17? #iOS #iPhone #iOS17

Glad Midsommar!

A headline and subheading of an article in the Atlantic magazine, with the byline Jacob Stern. Headline is “Killer Whales are Not Our Friends” and subheading is “Stop rooting for the orcas ramming boats”

not the first complaint about violent orcas to come from a stern in the atlantic

Young & Unafraid The Moth & The Flame · Song · 2016

This song – and this album cover – are *so* good. I really like the way it could just be a futuristic SciFi movie cover but it is actually of a real and absolutely impressive woman, Dr. Anna Fisher (by Harry Benson as far as I know, always with good shots)

Swift is becoming a very good systems programming language with these recent changes.

They can sell R-rated upgrades as "Adult Supervision"

End result: did not finish downloading everything in time 😰

Okay, we got Swift <-> C++ interop… WEN RUST? :​P

Starts at $3,499

Telling people to quit Twitter for Bluesky

I still find it mind blowing that we can have these sorts of replies directly from who’s building it (and look at src code too). Amazing stuff, never thought I’d see this sort of thing! 🥳

Decided to dogfood the Free experience on my account at work

Lost all my downloads 😭🥲

It’ll take *forever* to redownload everything and I have a trip soon 🙃
