there was one vote, it was for trump, and he is king of america now and you will obey

Bonkers that there are multiple people in Cupertino that look at an image like this and nod approvingly. Hope a lot of this is dialed back over the summer beta releases.

Turns out the Mac had some pretty good ideas when it comes to multitasking.

It’s weird to feel a slight sense of dread for #WWDC … all the ways Apple will ignore and distract from their very real software quality, services money grabs, and legal issues that only keep piling up.

Siri will never change #WWDC

it really doesn’t matter if someone is in america illegally or not. who cares, grow up

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

Thinking about all those high level government offices (EOP, SECDEF, etc) that decided to quickly install Starlink terminals in the last few months now routing all their traffic through Elon’s routers. Great idea.

Notice how Super Mario and all his supposed “enemies” are happy to get together and go go-kart racing? Wake up. It’s all kayfabe

Yes of course I’m spending all my free time playing a guitar hero mode of Fortnite in order to max XP so I can unlock a middling Palpatine skin. Why do you ask?

I was thinking how strange it is for a functioning organization (the US Government) to allow a group to take control, pillage, extract profits, then kill the org (Republicans) but realized it’s literally the Private Equity playbook.

There may be no future under Trump for the best government YouTube channel cc: @swiftonsecurity.com

Seems like a dark omen for WWDC if Apple execs are refusing to do their usual soft, chummy interview with Gruber.

2017: “bring the world closer together” 2025: “directly kill some percentage of the world”

Might I suggest that Democrats adopt winning policies like forgiving up to $20,000 in student loan debt for individuals who received Pell Grants if they start a business and operate it for at least three years in a disadvantaged community?

SteamOS on regular PCs when

Apple should absolutely do this idea from @gruber.foo

The first “chat with AI” Meta suggested to me is a bit sus

Unsorted, random wishlist for iOS 19: - I want the Health app to let me track the health of another person (ie my kids) or even a pet, and share that data with my wife. - Custom color/wallpaper backgrounds per thread in Messages - Much better audio routing/level controls. This is still such a mess.

Not dressing business casual when I worked a job that wasn’t customer facing. I sat in a dark corner of our shitty office desperately trying to keep a bunch of Linux servers running, including being the only oncall for months at a time. They wanted me to wear a collared shirt for some reason.

A story about why Democrats are losers, in four parts.

By *Tesla’s* own calculation “the Cybertruck depreciates by over $5.60 for every mile driven”

This bit from the recent @markgurman.bsky.social Apple Intelligence/Siri internal politics story was the one thing that really surprised me. Very welcome change to be able to swap out Siri for something better.

you can always do the “5 whys” in your incident review but be careful about going past that because after like 8 whys it’s just “capitalism”

Current stage of baby: loves walking around the couch, constantly threatening to launch herself off the back and land on her head.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

oh man! I was buying a game on my PS5 _yesterday_ and was shocked to see this option. It was so easy! Must had launched minutes before. No more putting my credit card on my PSN account.

“The pope will be from Chicago” sounds like an 1880s Republican’s dire prediction for if we don’t stop Irish immigration

I asked my four-year-old about this idea today and I can report that this is not landing well in the four-year-old community

Very surprising how bad the payment flow is at any sir-down Disneyland restaurant. All paper, no precomputed tip totals, and if you want to use Apple Pay they make you walk into the kitchen and use the POS directly. Mobile ordering at all the rest is a breeze, though.
