Driftwood Sunrise! Another shot from my recent visit to Hatteras Island on North Carolina's Cape Hatteras National Seashore. It never disappoints.

Someday you will meet someone who laughs at all your jokes. Do not trust this person. They are most likely a spy, or a Scientologist. Your jokes are terrible.

Been switching between several different Mastodon clients recently, trying to figure out what works best for us and so far, I think Tusker (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tusker/id1498334597) is the one which works the best for my own needs (and that of my wife) …

Some features are a bit harder to find, but the overall app shows a level of care and consideration that indicates that this is an app which has been in development over time and that the developer uses the app personally. It has a lot of the features that I wanted and about the only major thing it’s missing is the ability to edit posts.

I’m using it on macOS as a Catalyst app and there are some minor personal niggles of mine on macOS, but since the source is available, I’ll be making the changes myself (and sharing with the author if they would like to add it to the main app).

For the time being, I think I’m sorted 😛

We (@emilymbender, @mmitchell_ai and I) are organizing a virtual Stochastic Parrots Day on March 17. We thought it was time for a retrospective, & plan to discuss the current landscape, how we got here & where we need to go instead. Sign up below to join us.

I'm giving away up to ten copies of my book, A Programmer's Guide to Computer Science. If this would be useful to you but you cannot currently afford it, leave a comment and I'll message you this weekend for your contact information.
