Watching Batman Begins for first time in 20 years and I JUST SAW JOFFREY!

I'm pleased to announce a new service for indie developers: Kickstart Signal, a feature request service you can embed in your app to track user requests, votes, comments, and more. Completely free, works on every Apple platform, and available today ✨ signal.kickstart.tools

Seventeen years later… The time has come for Machinarium 2 🦾🔧 Wishlist NOW on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1619280/...

Let me tell ya, OFFBEAT ruuuuules... and it just got even cooler! There's now a sampler in the game, and it comes bundled with HOT SOUNDS from myself and many other cool composers and audio wizards Have fun choppin' and slicin' - I know I will - and big thanks to all at lovely @whetstone.games 💖

Something acidic this way comes...

Ampoule 1.5.2 is available now. It fixes some bugs and makes some small improvements. There are also new Liquid Glass app icons and links back here to Ampoule on Bluesky!

One week into Data Golf, our SNOMED CT analysis competition on Kaggle: 26 entrants, 31 submissions, 4 teams on the board. Shane Byrnes leads on 0.916; Marcus Baw is at 0.872 after 25 entries. Results at SNOMED CT Expo in October. Still time to enter: www.kaggle.com/competitions...

It's a Python loop and a chatbot. The people responsible didn't accidentally create god: they created autonomous malicious software and then failed to closely monitor it, resulting in it doing something both foreseeable and bad.

Latest acquisition from the Secret Bookshelf in Carrickfergus - I've been dying to find out what this @scalzi.com chap is all about :-)

Today I’m really proud to launch Kickstart Exchange: a free service that provides advertising for indie app developers. You show small adverts in your app, and in exchange adverts for your apps appear elsewhere – it's a link exchange! exchange.kickstart.tools

Is this good use of free will? Turning a Densha de Go train game peripheral into a sick acid bass controller 😤🚅💨💥

Bluesky and Leaflet are in the Atmosphere!!! ...wtf does does that mean? Here's a little explainer, written for everyone. No tech experience or prior knowledge required. All you need is 4 minutes or less :D

RIP Bill Oddie. Legend.

SNOMED CT tools for the rest of us! `sct` is free, open source, and comprehensible by humans. openhealthhub.org/t/sct-change...

Who did this? #worldcup #chemistry

Have you tested your smoke alarm lately? We recommend testing them once a week and you should have one installed per floor of your home.

I picked up a 1975 oscilloscope to make cool visuals with and holy shit it is so sick 😍

#ClinicalSafety Thread! TL;DR: `SAFETY.md` is a new proto-standard for doing elegant, open Clinical Safety and Medical Device documentation. Fast. github.com/pacharanero/...

With Wimbledon starting today, here's the full series of illustrations reimagined as a set of stamps ☀️ #Wimbledon #illustration

Leaflet is great for artists! Lots of improvements lately :) ✅ Top-level pages — make 'About' pages & more ✅ Nav with external links — link to a store, gallery, etc. ✅ Prev/next buttons — first/last too! ✅ Email newsletters — with Leaflet Pro ⚠️ Image galleries & lightboxing — working on it!

Beer finds a way…

So here's a mad thing The Lidl near me now has a pub (!!) It JUST opened, and I'm in it, and it's hilarious It's called the Middle Ale, they've got toilet roll and cereal as decoration and the Guinness is really good

When we are told (glibly) by junior health ministers that the contract with #Palantir for the #NHS #FDP means that we 'own all the data', this is the bit they are fundamentally not understanding: The data STRUCTURE is riddled with Palantir-specific references. medconfidential.org/2026/critica...

Apple/macOS/iOS devs: how best to conclude a TestFlight and migrate testers onto the final app with as little friction as possible? I'm talking 100s of testers.

One of the smallest, simplest features of Kickstart is also one of my favorites – it's a menu bar extra that adds useful developer things I need every day. Another completely free feature of Kickstart!

Hopefully Euro-Office will get a Mac version! www.windowscentral.com/software-app...

European alternative to Google Docs and Microsoft Office launches on 9 June: free, open source and online, using existing building blocks. An important step in freeing ourselves from US control. www.zdnet.com/article/euro...

Leaflet homepage: now faster to load! Should be most noticeable if you have lots of docs / drafts. If that's not you…consider this a reminder to get writing 😄✍️💯 Let us know what you think! ⤵️ leaflet.pub/home

📢 SPREAD THE WORD! Tomorrow my best bud @abandonedsheep.com is launching his debut indie game... Schrödinger's Cat Burglar

wikipedia truly is amazing. you can quickly find the world’s first heavier than air aircraft disaster and then learn everything there is to know about an italian journalist who perished in said disaster. nothing else even remotely compares to its breadth and scope en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tullo_M...

I found out this week that Red Faction Guerrilla is available on Switch, so I’m rediscovering it. I last played on PS3 about 15 years ago! It definitely has a Wilhelm scream in the intro cutscene, which I know about that thanks to @20k.bsky.social!

My new Mac app is out today, and I wrote a blog post about it: what it does, who it's for, and what you get for free. (Spoiler: it's a lot! 😅) www.hackingwithswift.com/articles/285...

My new Mac app is out today! It's called Kickstart, and it has just one job: helping indie app developers make more money on the App Store. It is *packed* with features, many of which are completely free. Get it here: apps.apple.com/app/kickstar...

I’ve just moved my PDS to @eurosky.social and now I’m exploring the ATproto ecosystem. @blento.app and @leaflet.pub are great!
