“AI Wrote This Email!”
Cool. I’m going to use “AI” to automatically delete any email that says “AI Wrote This Email” going forward. Thanks for the tip.
I wonder if the upcoming macOS game mode will also be a good “podcasting mode” option for podcasters?
Awesome to see moderators at Reddit not just lay down and let the CEO be an idiot.

Watching Shadow Men and wondering how we can trust anyone with anything… ever?
Going for another stupid walk for my stupid mental health. Might need the motivation of a stupid iced coffee halfway through to justify this stupid walk. Meet me at the coffee shop to find out. ☕️
Sad to see that Micro.blog has to disable cross-posting to Twitter, but I understand why. El0n has made it untenable for not-uber rich apps to be able to use the service.
Luckily, there’s Bluesky, Nostr, and other services are still supported.
I forgot to post today, but I did go for a stupid walk. I walked to check out my kid’s band recital. Elementary school band is something special. Luckily I didn’t get vertigo this time from all the different time signatures and keys being played at once.
Incredible to watch Reddit just shit on one of the more popular apps that their own community loves and uses. Imagine looking at what El0n and Twitter did and thinking “Hmm - yes. That seems like a great idea.” 🤦♂️
I saw this headline go by and thought “Yep, that’s my province.” and never read the article. Turns out, as many have pointed out, only 330 people were surveyed with a margin of error of +/- 4 per cent. In a province of over a million. 🫤
One anecdotal sign that Apple+ and MLS is a good partnership, for his birthday my nephew asked for Apple Store gift cards - not to buy apps or games, but to pay for an MLS subscription. And that was before this deal with Messi was announced.
How long until Apple resurrects the original iSight camera to bundle with AppleTV purchases? 😆
This morning was the first time since I started these stupid walks for my stupid mental health that I almost felt like I was looking forward to today’s walk.
I don’t want to jinx it or anything. It’s still stupid.
In all the discussion of Apple’s Vision Pro announcement, it’s clear not enough of you watched Upload on Prime.
Admittedly a privileged perspective (Ben Thompson is a tech writer and podcaster, appears to have a lot of money, etc.), but his vision of Apple Vision is both compelling and sad at the same time.
I’m not saying it is the future for sure or that Apple has it nailed, but if you haven’t experienced a VR headset in your home yet you really don’t know what to expect. My kid has a Quest 2 and it was very weird at first, and has gotten very normal very quickly.
I can’t wait until I don’t have to actually go for stupid walks for my stupid mental health and can just imagine myself walking in Apple VR. In the meantime… 🚶♀️
