Bill Atkinson's passing the week before WWDC is an unfortunate coincidence, but maybe it'll help reframe the company's enduring legacy on modern computing at a time when the company's leadership has, without question, lost the fucking plot.
Two years ago, I live-posted the WWDC keynote on Mastodon. I was excited to see what the Vision Pro would be.
Last year I sat it out. I had a scheduling conflict and the focus was going to be on AI, about which I couldn’t imagine anything that exciting being shown.
This year? 🤷♂️
This week's net.wars, "Nephology", attends the US House Judiciary Committee's Thursday hearing on "Foreign Influence on Americans' Data Through the CLOUD Act", at which four experts expertly defended encryption: https://netwars.pelicancrossing.net/2025/06/06/nephology/ #NetWars #USpol #surveillance #encryption #Apple #UK
It's so fucking stupid how #iPhone/#iOS devices can't be fucking unlocked or backed up or accessed through ANY means the moment ure unable to unlock the phone i.e. through passcode when the screen is (partially) broken.
I've experienced this several times before, last time when my first gen SE had an unresponsive screen, and using Touch ID requires you to unlock the phone through PIN first. Same thing here has happened to my mom's 11 Pro Max, where she couldn't use Face ID to unlock the phone, or connect any USB devices to the phone, without unlocking using her passcode first - 'cept half of her screen's unresponsive to touch, so, not possible.
#Apple devices are so 'secure', with the right combination of things happening to your device.. you could just end up being locked out, forever lol.
😂🤣😂 The #Trump brothers are launching a smartphone to prove to #Apple & #Google that you can build a “Made in #America 🇺🇸” phone—but they are having problems due to many electronic parts being made overseas.

I just realized that today is the 24th anniversary of when I started the #Safari and #WebKit projects at #Apple. 🤦♀️ Which just goes to show how much my life has moved on and changed since leaving the Fruit Company over a dozen years ago. 🤷♀️
Dog almighty, I am old AF. But let's keep that fact between ourselves, OK? 😂
It's also @kocienda's birthday. Which is why I remembered this at all. Happy birthday, Ken! 💖
July #running recap: compared to June I have 245.9 → 225.4mi (240.0 w/ walking), EG 3,728 → 4,419ft, 37 → 34hr running.
This was down from June, but still 25.4mi above my monthly 200mi goal. During the month I ran my 27th marathon and 60th half since 2022. My VO2Max via #Apple Watch also reached a new high: 49.6!
I'm at 1,680.2 of yearly goal 2,400mi, 286.2 ahead. And I'm tapering for the coming #marathon #race taking place in one week (https://www.tunnelmarathon.com)! Onward!
A brand new 68k Mac emulator quietly dropped last night!!
“Snow” can emulate the Mac 128k, 512k, Plus, SE, Classic, and II. It supports reading disks from bitstream and flux-floppy images, and offers full execution control and debugging features for the emulated CPU. Written using Rust, it doesn't do any ROM patching or system call interception, instead aiming for accurate hardware-level emulation.

Push Notifications and MastoBlaster
On iOS, push notifications must go through Apple’s servers. This is not something that can be bypassed, as it is part of the operating system’s architecture.MastoBlaster, like other Fediverse apps, uses a design that maximizes user privacy.
When you log in to your instance, the app and the server exchange the necessary cryptographic keys. The app also communicates to the instance the address of the relay, which is the server responsible for forwarding notifications to Apple.
When a new notification is generated:
1. Your instance encrypts the notification.
2. It sends the encrypted payload to the relay.
3. The relay forwards it to Apple using its own authentication key.
4. Apple delivers it to your device.
The content of the notification is encrypted by your Fediverse server and can only be decrypted by your device.
The relay, which in the case of MastoBlaster is dedicated and hosted on a FreeBSD server, receives only encrypted data. It cannot read the content, does not know which account the notification belongs to, and does not store any information about the notification itself.
Apple knows which relay sent the notification and which device it must be delivered to, but it cannot access the content.
In short, only your instance and your device can read the notification.

Introducing TestFlight version of my latest app: Changelogs. It's an app that lets you track releases of other applications. Quickly add your favorites and receive notifications when new versions are available.
Started this one almost 4 years ago and finally decided to release to public. Looking for testers to find any issues before release to App Store.
