By the way, there are browsers out there choosing to skip the "AI window" idea completely. vivaldi.com/blog/technol...

Web browsers are integrating the current AI trend with Large Language Model (LLM) functionality. But there are fundamental issues with it. We address them.

Day 21 of inserting a random Muppet into a random Star Trek screenshot
#StarTrek #StarTrekVoyager #TheMuppets
A screenshot from an episode of Voyager shows Neelix sitting at the conference table while Tuvok and Janeway stand further back by the door talking. Neelix looks visibly disappointed or angry as he sits at the table. Gonzo the Muppet tries to give him a hug.

In retrospect, the role of Debra Messing as herself in Bros did raise a red flag or two. I’ve never checked her socials until now and to borrow from another sitcom: Oh. My. God.

Figuring out what useful info I could add to the tabViewBottomAccessory view now that it’s stuck on the screen. Thanks 26.1! 🫤(have actually got some good ideas)

Working on @flowvi.be today: make this screen better + some folks reported that the library lens doesn't always activate. It's been fun to implement it - it's only a tiny baby model running on device and it requires quite a lot of experimentation for such nuanced cases. #Music #PlaylistMaker

One does not simply use conditional modifiers in SwiftUI 18.6... because if one does, one may experience tears and/or need to use expedited review 😭 #IndieDev #iOS #SwiftUI

Does anyone know if #Swift has something like the experimental flags in #Kotlin? Example: I want to publish a very edgy-probably-only-works-on-my-iPhone API in a library but I want to make it very clear to people using the API that they're walking on unstable grounds
