WWDC 2025: Нумерація оновлень Про зміну нумерації оновлень операційних систем я одразу написав свої думки ще тоді, коли це з’явилося лише як чутки. Тепер, коли це стало реальністю, я можу лише вітати нумерацію оновлень операційних систем за роками. Зміна незначна, але зате всім користувачам…

WWDC 2025: Нумерация апдейтов Об изменении нумерации обновлений операционных систем я сразу написал свои мысли, еще когда это появилось только как слухи. Теперь, когда это стало реальностью, нумерацию апдейтов операционных систем по годам я могу только приветствовать. Изменение мелкое, но зато…

Said the country that has been doing exactly that for the last four years

🤦🏼‍♀️

“President Trump says tariffs on Chinese goods are going to 55%, and the U.S. will get magnets and rare earth minerals from China in a deal.” So let me get this straight: 6 months ago, we had magnets and rare earth minerals, and weren't paying 55% taxes on imports from China.

WWDC 2025: Мысли про Liquid Glass Глядя на новый интерфейс под названием “Liquid Glass”, сложно удержаться от сравнений с Aero из Windows Vista или Aqua из Mac OS X. Оба дизайна были известны своей “стеклянностью” элементов интерфейса, и Liquid Glass в этом случае не является какой-то особенной…

WWDC 2025: Думки про Liquid Glass Дивлячись на новий інтерфейс під назвою “Liquid Glass”, важко втриматися від порівнянь з Aero з Windows Vista або Aqua з Mac OS X. Обидва ці дизайни були відомі своєю «скляністю» елементів інтерфейсу, і Liquid Glass у цьому випадку не є якоюсь особливою…

Rosetta 2 to be phased out in two years

The governor is saying that the president is a nut job.

Old Finder vs new Finder As I’m still going through some of the WWDC updates and collecting my thoughts, I wanted to express my opinion on this change: Why? Just why???

This

"And so, macOS Tahoe will be the final release for Intel Macs."

Ngl this one I'm the most excited about

iPadOS 26: we finally realized the best way to make iPad useful is to make it more Mac-like, so here we are with a menu bar, proper windows and an improved Dock

Ok, menu bar, new multi-windows and a better pointer on iPadOS is truly something that made me want to install a new beta

great to have billions of moneys so you can wait for several years to introduce basic chat features like polls ⁠

nothing screams "apple for the masses" like a $250k aston martin showing off new CarPlay :)

Interesting Apple went with an ICE car instead of EV to show the new features in the new CarPlay

So "Liquid Glass" is basically Aqua interface of Mac OS X but frozen in space? :)

"my brothers you think you're doing the right thing," one demonstrator says to police "you're not.

One downside to having fawns (baby deer) on the property is that sometimes I find baby deer carcasses as well. Oh well, nature is metal and let nature take its course, but still a bit sad. I won't be posting any pictures but my main suspects are the foxes.

A lot of people say generative AI shouldn't infringe on copyright. These researchers actually tried to do it. The result: an 8 terabyte dataset of text that's openly licensed or in the public domain & 7 B parameter model that performs as well as Meta's Llama 7B www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Very true

Wait what now? A drug user and an illegal alien that had access to all possible data in the US government? How could that happen? And more importantly who let this happen?

Wait I thought last March Tesla's EVs were "beautiful" and "cool", when the dynamic duo was doing Tesla promo at the White House, and Trump even bought one!

It's going to be a Big Beautiful Shitshow

And so it begins to unravel…

Trump: "We discussed the attack on Russia's docked airplanes, by Ukraine." Oh no, Ukraine attacked peacefully docked military airplanes that bomb Ukraine every day, and it immediately deserves a discussion between Trump and putin.

one day it's going to come out that the total revenue for the entire generative AI industry is like $20-$25bn in 2025, and the cost to make that revenue was $50bn-$100bn+

i don't think there's a more self defeating anti-piracy system than streaming sites that don't let you take screenshots. i am trying to talk about your product on social media! for free! and you're making that logistically difficult just in case i'm dedicated enough to do it 30 times a second!

It's such a shame Americans stopped loving station wagons. I have one of the last 2019 BMW 3-Series #sportswagon sold in the US, and despite it being in a boring beige color (technically "platinum silver"), I find it a very pretty car. #bmwwagon #wagonation #longroof

The day I am able to write "reconnaissance" correctly without the help of a spellchecker is going to be a very good day.

Welcome to the age of mediocrity In an interview with Axios, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said that AI could "wipe out" as much as half of all entry-level white-collar jobs. Of course, I wouldn’t expect any other statement from an AI company’s CEO, but still this immediately brings up a question —…
