I've wanted to build a social network for the Bear community for years, but I've always been daunted by the challenge of achieving the critical mass needed to make such a platform sustainable.
Thanks to @bsky.app, I have been able to make that a reality today.

So I have been using Windows again as my main work OS, for almost a year now; not through choice, I might add.
And in the words of Grace Jones' character Strangé in Boomerang, "I 'ate it"!
How do you people handle the constant barrage of pop-ups? Windows has become such a needy POS.

What on earth is up with Apple App Store Connect? It's been pretty much unusable the past few days, which is really frustrating when I'm trying to launch an app! #Apple #AppStore #developer

This morning, I awoke to an email from Apple to tell me that my Bluesky client has been approved for public TestFlight beta testing. If you're a member of the gay bear community on iOS, and want to help test the app, drop me a reply here!

This is at the end of my road. It only functions as a complete roundabout for buses these days.
Though more of an intersection, Britain's first roundabout was at St George's Circus, built in 1771, between Waterloo and Elephant and Castle.

The sycophancy response is high on this thread.
Folks, this doesn't read the way you think it does. It's just one long excuse, instead of identifying and addressing issues with a promise to do better.

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).
It’s also concerning. 1/

PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

Goddammit! Bluesky's latest update has broken a part of the product I'm developing.
I'm just glad it's still in testing.

AWS down again? Perhaps now would be a good time to consider more stable alternatives? I have been moving a lot of my stuff over to European providers and I've never been happier with that decision than I am now! @scaleway.com 🇪🇺

I’d never realised there was an acoustic version of Take On Me until I heard it in The Last of Us Season 2 — and wow, that scene was beautiful.
Afterward, I found a-ha’s original acoustic performance and was blown away
Here’s my take on it
