Weekend side project – BskyRSS! Generate a pretty feed from anyone's profile. Bluesky has built-in feeds, but they're bare-bones. BskyRSS feeds render links, images, quotes, replies, reposts, and collapse threads into a single entries.

I don’t think Holmes was manipulating Fielder. I’ve met people with the same kind of aloofness / slippery grasp of reality (not to that degree though). Fascinating person, great film.

I’m sure Apple will rethink parts of MacOS when they add touch support. It won’t just be slapped on top of the existing UI. I have a hard time imagining it though, still pretty skeptical.

At graduation, my computer science professor had only one message: just because you can build it, doesn't mean you should. AI is wonderful in so many ways, but it should always sound and act like a robot. I really hope this remains an experiment that never sees the light of day.

Would you even believe me if I told you this was a real campaign text

Damn, Gruber is such a good writer. Now I’m insatiably curious to see if iPadOS adopts any Duo-isms in the next year.

Go to your camera roll, search for “boat”, post one that you like.

why all these apps doin liquid glass suddenly

Doing things because they're cool is reason enough. See: flying cars, landing on the moon, etc.

That Roadster demo has got to be one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen

This is a good thing. HomeView is like Apple Watch – good for quick interactions and glanceable info. Full-fledged apps on the watch were a mistake.

Well there it is

Crazy that the HomeView took inspiration from the Ferrari Luce

As much as I desperately want Bluesky to win, it’s just true that X has the juice.

Unfortunately wife has discovered FSD and I’m never getting my car back.

Reddit has: - made the site slow and clunky - forced users onto the mobile app - killed third party apps - killed its RSS feeds I'm sure the old version of the site isn't long for this world either. Seriously can't wait for Bluesky communities, we need it.

Run your PDS on Cirrus, and your blog on EmDash. Great work @mk.gg, congrats on the launch!

@toni.bsky.team probably time to declare a "code red" and get Bluesky Communities launched ASAP. I'm as blue-pilled and optimistic as it gets, and I deeply respect *everyone* I worked with on the team, but even I'm getting worried about how many chances remain. Feels too slow to win at this pace 🙁

I'm going to be launching something pretty big next week, which just happens to include a new atproto AppView, labeler, blob proxy, lexicons. It will have tens of thousands of users, most of whom won't even know they're using atproto, or have even heard of it.

This is gonna absolutely cook the Contacts app

Super cool. And I don’t think we’ve seen Apple Sillicon optimized for AI yet.

Am I crazy or is there a big opportunity to use Jev for custom Bluesky feeds?

Love reading about these details. This account is a good follow for anyone else into Apple / software design!

We have our first contender!

I'm constantly blown away by the technical achievements from teams at Apple to protect people's privacy and security, especially for important issues such as this. Really interesting read!

@gruber.foo perhaps wishful thinking, but I imagine the design of the Air will make its way into the standard lineup after the Air 2 has run its course. The Air and Duo feel like siblings in a new design which will work its way down. daringfireball.net/linked/2026/...

Remembering 9/11 On this solemn morning 25 years ago a team of us had arrived on a redeye flight in NYC for a Mac press tour. After the horrific attack we stood on the streets and cheered the first responders, paid our respects at the site (as close as allowed), and spent a week together in shock 😢

I need to know, did @joannastern.bsky.social really sit through the entire iPhone presentation with a raw hot dog in fanny pack?

Watching @25YearsAgoLive on Twitter this morning, incredible to step through today's timeline moment by moment x.com/25YearsAgoLive

I’m thinking a companion iPizza, complete with the box opening experience.

First ride. The Cybercab feels like it was stolen from a future, more advanced civilization. My legs got pretty twitchy sitting in the driver’s seat with no pedals to react to traffic! Didn’t expect that!

With the original iPhone came the innovation of iBeer. The iPhone Duo is going to have its iBeer moment, we just don’t know what it is yet.

The future should look like the future

Corrected headline: "Waymo Saves Toddler's Life" I really hope Tesla's rolls out their robotaxis slowly and cautiously like Waymo. They will inevitably face these situations. One bad mistake could sink the entire AV industry. They are such a net good for society, we can’t jeopardize that.

Tim Cook listening in on Ternus’ first team meeting this morning

CEO Tim: Friendly, respects your privacy, would love to scale your company. Board Tim: Political operator, works in the shadows, will steal your girl.
