Coming soon… Streamiverse.

A curated streaming fediverse post API compatible with the Mastodon API for use in teaching, demos, presenting, etc. Basically, if you were using the Mastodon public timeline API for these use cases before it started to require authentication, this will be a good alternative :)

If you have suggestions for the curated feed, reply to this with links to posts.

When live coding on a Mac, don’t just mirror your screen as no one will be able to see what you’re doing. Use, e.g., SwitchResX to mirror your screen at a larger retina resolution (1280×720 works if presenting on a 1920×1080 projector).

That way, you shouldn’t have to alter the text size in your terminal, browser, etc., and the audience will still be able to read your screen. Also goes for live streams, etc.

Wow, I only just realised (using Laura’s five-year-old hand-me-down MacBook Pro) that when you use Keynote on a MBP that has a touch bar, you basically get your presenter display on it. That’s amazing. Especially given you don’t always have the luxury of one at smaller events and/or if you’re live coding but also have slides.

Damn… wish they hadn’t discontinued those now :)
