I’ve rewritten my application Autonomix for Linux in Flutter/Dart. It was originally in Rust, but Rust is a pain in the arse, to much effort to add features and maintian, Flutter is so much easier.

I’ve been running Fedora KDE spin for a few weeks now. It’s the only distro I’ve used that can’t handle running VSCode for some reason, it just runs up CPU and memory use, then will crash things, or be unusably slow. My days on Fedora may be coming to and end.
Updated MB-Manager for Linux and Android is out. I added the filters for timelines similar to MicroBlog proper.

Watched: Avatar: Fire and Ash 🍿 last night with the family, did the full IMAX 3D shenanigans. It was fun, the movie was pretty good, so long though. But if you’re going to see a movie in 3D, it’s hard to beat Avatar.

The need for 12 people to Beta test your app before it can be released in the Play Store is sort of a big ask as a solo dev with obscure/niche apps.
Just Watched: The Smashing Machine 🍿
It didn’t do great in theaters, but I thought it was really good. I think the Rock did a great job.

Looks like I ended the year fairly eclectically. 
Happy New Year’s internet! I got home in the evening and put the phone down and watched Stranger Things with my daughter’s and then the fam made cookies and watched the ball drop on TV. Didn’t look at the phone till this morning.
I’ve been thinking about how to go about monetizing apps and making things available in general. I think if the time ever comes, I will charge a small fee for apps in the Play Store but always have them available to sideload for free from Github.
As I watched the cable guys run my neighbors new line my Internet went out. They then proceeded to say they did nothing, I called and there is no outage, but they can have someone here by Wednesday to check it out. Am still looking at two of their employees in my yard… @$&! 🤦♂️
