oh cool, the hallucination machines will now make up lies about the crimes you’re committing

great job everyone who cheered for AI because it made writing emails less burdensome for you https://mastodon.de/@ErikUden/113879369270806353

TouchID remains the worst part of the iPad mini experience

Well that’s enough dunking on Apple Intelligence for one evening, let’s see how things are going over at OpenAI…

I don’t know how anyone survives the last decade of weaponised misinformation and then thinks filtering all their news through an LLM is good idea https://mastodon.online/@9to5Mac/113647127504397409

Both @Aaronvegh and myself are very excited to announce that Croissant is now available on Mac and iPad 🥳

Today in ridiculous App Review rejections:

Croissant was rejected because App Review thinks signing into Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads is like “Sign in with Google”, and they want “Sign in with Apple” there too 🤦🏻

@WarnerCrocker well.. fingers crossed for next time

Still got some work to do, but here’s a little teaser of Croissant on iPad and Mac 🥐

anyone else have an unusual uptick in post-apocalyptic dream scenarios this week or just me

It’s only a small thing, but take a couple of minutes today to put your pronouns in your social bios and your email signature.

It won’t matter to the vast majority of people, but it might make a few queer people feel a little safer interacting with you, and the bigots will hate it. Win/win.

@WarnerCrocker It’s kind of heartbreaking that from this point forward, that’s the best case scenario

@WarnerCrocker and that the intolerance outweighs their own interests in far too many cases

What feels even worse than the result of the election is that I just can’t envision what the path is to fix any of the conditions that led to this.

How do you reduce the impact of Fox News? How do you fix an education system broken by design? How do you make someone question their own incuriosity?

My Camera Control hot take is it should forego the light press menu and just swipe horizontally to jump between camera zoom increments

What they’ve built is incredibly impressive, but I think it’s overkill trying to squeeze so much functionality into such a small target

Introducing Croissant 🥐

Social media in 2024 can be a real pain. But I’m happy to d’éclair that Croissant is here to help. It makes cross-posting to Bluesky, Mastodon and Threads feel buttery smooth.

Donut walk, run to the App Store and download it now:

Introducing Croissant on iPhone!

Wait, no. Let’s try that again…

@augieray I think it is that time of year if you have kids going back to school though, right?

@WarnerCrocker 👀
