The ships of Star Wars were the initial inspiration behind the macOS app icon for Hyperspace, a powerful utility to help you reclaim disk space by @siracusa. The final icon makes the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs!

If you like your Mastodon server and want it to stick around, you should consider donating some money to it, if you can.
We’re still an absolute skeleton crew of 14 people, competing with teams sometimes 100x as large as ours. To get to our humble team size was only possible through the less than 1% community members who donate to Mastodon, a handful larger donations, & EU grants, all of which we are forever […]

It's wild to think that the titans of gaming — Activision, EA, Ubisoft — all collapsed at pretty much the same time. Bungie looks like it has no future. Even Bethesda has only been able to put out a string of duds, for years now. And yet a couple of the best games this year, Clair Obscur […]

Also new in today's v1.110 release:

We’ve redesigned the “who can reply” settings to make them clearer and easier to use. You can also now save your choices as the default for future posts, giving you easier control over the conversations you start.

Hi! Today is my first official day as the Executive Director of Mastodon, replacing @gargon@mastodon.social as CEO. I joined the Mastodon team more than 5 years ago, mostly working for Mastodon in the evenings on top of a 120% day job. I was the driving force behind the incorporation of the […]

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I […]

OK, that's a way to kickstart a show.

So far, I get most changes—the second campaign it's based on is over 550 hours (!!)—the only one that feels weird is the singularization of the Luxon as a unique beacon thing instead of a part of hundreds (or thousands?) […]

Please do not use "AI-slop" to illustrate your articles or presentations.
If you need images and have none just use one of the free stock image sites. It's not harder and doesn't make you look like a dumbass.

Just discovered something while working on a video: even though Apple advertises Open Gate as an iPhone 17-Series feature, apps such as Pearla or Blackmagic Camera let you shoot OG in older iPhone models.

Does anyone know if the API or something indicate which is the oldest iPhone to receive […]

As easy as it might be to speculate on the demise of Apple's AR/VR ambitions based on the sales numbers of the Vision Pro, actually using it, seeing what they've done, seeing what they're still doing behind the scenes in both the media production and in the developer space, I think this platform […]
