Great to be back on campus for #Nobel59. This is our first time since COVID that we are attending the Nobel Conference in person.

Today I learned that MILF does not mean”Mastodonian I’d Like to Follow” and excuse me while I go back and edit several dozen posts.
Really, I do not approve of you killing off that character. Nope. Not happy with that.

Gift link for a very interesting extended look on how Black Americans feel thing are going for them. Better than I thought at work, but grim news on the safety of teens. Let's get to work, white people! https://wapo.st/43IVP0h

It's only AI if it comes from the Turing region of France, otherwise it's just sparkling art theft.
A lovely and thoughtful post from a lovely and thoughtful person, whom I am fortunate enough to call my friend.

Do you find #PairProgramming socially draining? Then I recommend its laid-back cousin, which goes by many names: #MobProgramming #EnsembleProgramming #SoftwareTeaming

Hello people of the Fediverse! Some of you may have heard that a new Mastodon client, Ivory, is in development for iOS (and Mac!). This is true! Tapbots is going all in on Mastodon and we hope this place continues to grow and thrive. Tweetbot will continue to be developed alongside Ivory as a lot of code is shared. A new Mac version of Tweetbot and Ivory are also currently in development and we are working hard on getting those towards a public beta state.

We're currently testing an alpha version of Ivory for iOS. As we continue to make progress we will expand access to it. Just follow this account and @tapbots to hear about it first!
We truly appreciate all the love and support in this community! Here’s an XDR-sized desktop background (wallpaper) to hold you over. 🐘
