@marcoarment it’s not the easiest thing to demo in a screen recording but you can drag the address bar capsule. Swipe up for all tabs or swipe left and right to move between them

If you visit CERN today they’re giving away neutrinos, free of charge

I’m seeing a lot of “WWDC was announced!”

And not a lot of “Don’t come to the US because it’s incredibly unsafe for anyone who’s non-white or queer”

And absolutely zero “we understand the difficulties faced by developers overseas so we’re hosting events around the world so everyone can take part”

I am intensely curious to know how Apple is going to handle all this for WWDC

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 🥳

https://apps.apple.com/ie/app/croissant-cross-posting/id6670288979

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
