After Craft, Ulysses, still in beta, might be the second-best take on Liquid Glass adoption. I love it.

According to the reactions I’m seeing on my Micro.blog timeline (which also includes some people on Bluesky and Mastodon) shows that everyone is a democrat. Cool because I don’t like nazis.

It seems that Scribbles.page is about to get a taste of social networking? Private messaging? I configured my profile; if anyone wants to test it. ...this blip is a courtesy of Numeric Citizen (Who is he, again? I'm glad you asked.)

I’m tempted to start a sticker collection and put them on my M2 MacBook Air. I’ve never done such a thing because I always keep in mind that I’ll resell my Mac, and my sticker taste might not match the buyer’s taste. I’ll probably start with the M-Series stickers from Basic Apple Guy.

I just rewatched Thriller, like I do every year on Halloween. What a great music video! Everything is in there: music, storytelling, special effects, dance, great décor, and a good ending. Pure and genuine entertainment.

I experimented with a few agentic prompts using ChatGPT Atlas browser on my Micro.blog timeline. I asked it to list my posts for the day. It took only 17 seconds, and voila! It’s quite impressive when it functions correctly.

Apple’s strong quarter in services revenue shows that people are willing to pay for additional storage, among other things. I don’t think Apple will feel the need to increase the free storage tier beyond 5 GB anytime soon.

The Roots of My Passion for Apple
Apple has a special place in my life because of my passion for the company, its history and most importantly because I share the same values.

I hate creating Shortcuts in Apple Shortcuts. There is no easy way to debug this shit. No quick start for anything. It’s not fun at all. There, I said it (again).

If Apple were to introduce a new MacBook (not in the Air or Pro line), smaller than the 13-inch Air, in the 12-inch range, with an iPhone-class processor, I would probably buy one. Why? Because for me, having an ultra-portable yet powerful macOS-based machine for travelling would be a killer.

Come on, Adobe. Ten processes for Create Cloud, consuming half a GB of RAM? Because I wasn't really using it on my MacBook Air, it's gone now.

Apple Loses Landmark U.K. Lawsuit Over App Store Commissions
The best time to adjust the rules of the App Store — its exclusivity on app distribution for the entire iOS platform, the exclusivity of Apple’s IAP for purchasing digital content, the commission percentage splits on IAP — was over a decade ago. The next best time to make those adjustments is now.

If ChatGPT could read RSS feeds for summarization and other tricks, it would probably be a game-changer for me. Inoreader offers such a thing, but it’s a paid addition on top of an already rather expensive subscription.
