I have an itch to create an app. A Mastodon client. I’m gonna start fresh either way but I’m wondering on which platform should I start. I’m using iPhone everyday but I’m thinking about moving to Android sometime soon and there isn’t anything for Mastodon that I’d like to use so I might as well try to make something I’d like to use when on Android. Decisions decisions.

But I think Android is a better way right now. Especially because I’m gonna work on it on my Windows PC, so it would be easier to do it natively for Android. And when I’m gonna do an app that I love, it’s gonna be easier for me to switch fully to green robots.

I spent a couple hours during the weekend looking at my read-it-later queue and I’ve found out two things: I’ve saved LOTS of articles during the pandemic, about the pandemic, that are irrelevant four years later.

After two months of being on windows I’m starting to think about installing / at least virtualising Linux alongside Windows. Mostly because of all of this Windows related bloatware. I’m worried about games because I love playing games, so that’s why I’m thinking of virtualising Linux. I’ve got enough CPU, ram and GPU to use both at the same time.

First emulators are coming to iOS! iGBA is available but please don’t download it yet since it’s stolen code from an open source code with added ads and tracking. But other than that – it works if you want it to (and plays games perfectly fine).

I was grandfathered into some kind of Day One Plus (that basically gives me everything that Premium does apart from custom icons and ability to add more than 10 pics and attaching videos) and finally pulled the trigger to get into Day One Premium. After 113 days I think I’m hooked.
