tempted to make an edit of that 'OLD MAN YELLS AT CLOUD' meme but instead of 'CLOUD' it's 'APPLE APP DEVELOPERS'
this kind of shit is why the only thing I will ever buy from Panic will be Firewatch
like.
$99 for a code editor.
not even a proper IDE.
a /code editor./
$99.
AND $45 FOR A FUCKING FTP CLIENT.
just because all mac/ios app devs charge 3-4 times more than windows devs would for slick-looking apps doesn't mean it's right
me: i want a really slick-looking mastodon app...
app devs: ...
me: ...for iOS...
[about 70% of the app devs run off]
me: ...that looks nice and respects your privacy...
[almost everyone leaves, leaving only two devs]
me: ...that doesn't cost money.
[the whole room is emptied]
oh goddamnit
Toot! costs $4 too???? [grumble grumble grumble]

It's finally here! v1.0 of Toot! has been officially released on the app store!
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/toot/id1229021451?ls=1&mt=8
For those who have not been in on the beta test already, this is an Mastodon client for iOS, full of character and whimsy. It is multi-instance, multi-account, it is fast, it is comfortable and it is above all a lot of fun!
It has a strong focus on user experience, animation, and attention to detail, as well as being the best client for Mastodon around. Try it now!
@mew [MMO voice] I REQUIRE TASK MANA
ah yes, Lumines, the ambient artist that made the hit song Two Dots,
@bunnylyn one of the cool gamedevs/animators i follow on twitter who is usually a pretty cool dude retweeted the announcement tweet for this and i wanted to die inside

Ah yes, I definitely want to watch a 45 minute video of a white guy talking about how Apu is good actually
god I can't wait until FF gets PWA on desktop support too
oh and every external link opens in Chrome, not your default browser
taking notes from MS, are we Google?
since i have my pinafore window squished down, this makes looking at images close up a bit of an issue
i think my only complaint with PWAs is that you can't open images in new PWA windows, only links can ._.

Reminder re: Bad instances
So far, the hamfisted attempts at commercialisation of the Fediverse have been ridiculous/mock-able, probably in violation of the AGPL and they just didn't get momentum
But when a slick, user-friendly instance with proprietary code and targeted ads comes along with the backing of Google or whatever, ready to "embrace" the Fediverse (coming soon: "extend" and "extinguish"), we might not have much time to mash the "block" button before it's too late

Reminder re: Bad instances
If you are an instance admin, you NEED to block instances, and do so EARLY when they are being run by people who are acting in bad faith
* Hiveway was very stoppable because they didn't have a critical mass of users for whom it would be seen as "unfair" to block them for their admins' bad behaviour
* Bofa was a lot harder to stop because there was like a million hand-wringing about how many users they had, and how it's "not their fault"
Block bad instances EARLY
