New #mastodon #gotosocial iOS app progress is going well. I hope to share something soon. :beachball:

Just got back from a week’s vacation and started work again tonight. So many irritating bugs that would immediately be a turnoff for even an alpha release. Ugh… just noticed a bunch of composing problems… :thisisfine:

I’ve been watching the first season of #ThePitt, and I’m enjoying. It’s made me think more about life decisions. As a kid, I spent a lot of time in the emergency room, and part of me always wanted to be an ER doctor. Instead did CS/EE and didn’t even finish because first internet bubble landed me job.

I made the right decision. I don’t think I would have survived Covid as an ER doctor. Too demanding physically and mentally.

For those who might not know, HarmonyOS is Huawei's new non-Linux OS. Think iOS, China edition. The UX is really great so far, and it's miles and miles ahead in "smoothness" compared to what any Android phone today feels like (and I'm on a low-end device, the Nova 15, which sells for ~$400 US in the mainland right now). I might even say it feels a little more fluent than an iPhone!

I have a 30min goal of exercise per day. I just walk on treadmill or in a loop at apartment while listening to a podcast.

Today, I somehow registered 4min of exercise already on the #AppleWatch doing very little. So only 26min is needed… :kirby_happy:

“For months, callers to the Washington state Department of Licensing who have requested automated service in Spanish have instead heard an AI voice speaking English in a strong Spanish accent. The agency has since apologized and says it’s trying to fix the problem.”
