@bsky.app Not sure if there is a better way to report a bug, but I keep getting stuck in a video that I can’t close on iOS. Tap a video to go fullscreen. Tap to make the controls go away. Start a drag left to right but then abort it after a short distance. Now you are stuck. This video is your life.

Of course it makes sense, but until tonight, I’ve never thought about dogs (and cats) having belly buttons. But they do.

Why would you buy wrapping paper when you can just buy a big roll of kraft paper and spend 5x as long on each gift? 🤷🏻♂️ #christmas #timemanagement

In the rare event you just cannot get the Wordle, I added a way to share the disgrace because the real app can’t. My Daily Five app is free, and a great way to work through your words. pgib.net/dailyfive/

Well, I have much to learn, but this is my first print with an oil-based ink. I used a mini Phonemo tattoo printer to transfer the design, and I guess I used too much gel because it really bled. #linocut #printmaking

All I want for Christmas is for iOS to stop offloading apps I regularly use—or better yet, let my flag certain apps as “never, ever offload”! #ios

Microsoft made it ubiquitous, yet Times New Roman is a British typeface designed for The Times newspaper in 1931. It was inspired by an earlier British typeface, Plantin, in turn modelled on 16th century French renaissance type by Robert Granjon. 1/7

As #wordle -er, I wanted a better way to think through my answers instead of scrap paper or using X for blanks. So I put on my #indiedev #ios hat, and did something about it.
