I find it ridiculous that software devs — who generally get paid significantly more than folks in most other industries — complain about very good dev tools being “too expensive” at $99/yr. 😒

If you breakdown the average salary into an hourly rate, that’s literally one hour (or less!) of work. In some cases, maybe 2.

Even if you buy 10 of these apps, spending $1K/year, that’s only a few days worth of work to pay for all of your essential, well-built, indie software. 🙄

Blocking and sabotaging humanitarian aid is considered “activism” now?

Back in my day, we called this terrorism.

If everything Apple said about the App Store were true, this headline wouldn’t exist.

The narrative about “protecting users” is complete bullshit.

Amazing how I can have 32GB sitting in the system's Trash in 2024.

You’ve seen state of the art AI text generation, and state of the art image generation…

…but what about music?

Truly incredible. 😂 Have a @broadcastsapp jingle. That chorus 👌

Maybe I'm cynic.

But a phone that's US$1000+ is an ... interesting Father's Day gift.

As would be handing over a thousand bucks.

Would it be reasonable to predict that [NS]NotificationCenter's .main queue might someday map to MainActor implicitly? Or maybe get an actor-aware alternative? Or is there just too much going on under the hood to bridge this implicitly? Feels weird to be 'dispatching' a Task on the main queue like this

jsq,
@jsq@mastodon.social avatar

@stroughtonsmith I suspect this is needs to be special-cased like DispatchQueue.main
