The @mackinac.social public beta for iOS is now available in TestFlight. I’ll have Android very soon, just a couple more things I need to fix. https://testflight.apple.com/join/jDdGrMBk

I can’t stand all the AI flyers I see everywhere. They all look unoriginal and low-effort.

Great win for the Lions!

I think I’m slowly starting to want an iPhone Duo now.

we're bringing more of the Atmosphere into the app soon. bsky team is cookin!

Who’s all getting the iPhone Duo? What are you most excited about?

These new South Park episodes 😂🤣

Patiently waiting for the Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake release…

Just because it's AI doesn't mean it's slop.

This is fun!

A new version of the Mackinac native app is now available in TestFlight for iOS! This update brings custom verifications and AppView switching to the mobile app. https://testflight.apple.com/join/jDdGrMBk

Stoked for this Ocarina of Time remake! https://youtu.be/8v8eDMh1o3g?is=K-s_uHcaEMY7ShQ7

Feels like summer again in Michigan.

I’ve also been testing a bunch of other things on iOS. The biggest thing is push notifications.

I think the latest build of @mackinac.social native app might be ready for Android! Going to do a little more testing, but I think I’ll have it ready in the next couple of days.

Not every app needs short vertical videos

Fire night 🔥

I’m not sure how anyone watched that Senate debate and walked away thinking Mike Rogers won. Sometimes it’s ok to admit your candidate took an L.

It’s pretty obvious why Mike Rogers skipped the first debate. He probably should’ve skipped the second one too. 

Started watching this Senate debate from last night and oof not good for Mike Rogers.

I’m not calling it “Super Intelligence”

I may have solved some of the issues I was running into on Android with the @mackinac.social native app. Need to test the latest build for a couple days to see.

Bridgy Fed now officially supports Mastodon quote posts! If you see a post bridged from the Atmosphere on the Fediverse, you can quote it using your Mastodon account. Small note: this will work for posts starting this week - older posts are not supported. Happy quoting!

There’s one last crash issue I need to track down this weekend and then Android should be ready for public beta.

We’ve made a few changes to Articles. First, Articles now live in their own tab on the main navigation. The articles screen also has a new view for larger screens. We’ve also moved publications on profiles into their own tab.

I feel like tech companies are highly overestimating how much the average person wants an “AI device”.

I keep seeing people post about how they burn through their extra Claude usage and I'm just wondering how tf do they have extra usage?

"Abdul hates football" has to be one of the most desperate Mike Rogers ads I've seen so far...

If there's one company i'm definitely not trusting with a personal agent it's definitely Meta.

Another Saturday, another Michigan game. Go Blue! #MichiganFootball

Politicians pushing for an “AI kill switch” don’t realize how much the genie is already out of the bottle.

I’ve been hitting the limits on my Max Claude plan way more in the last couple of weeks than I ever have. Nothing crazy has changed in my workflow either.

Always a good time at The Big House! #GoBlue

Go Blue!

Tailgating in the rain. Go Blue!

Rough game for the Lions…

Let’s go Lions! #DetroitLions

The most delicious feed on the Social Web #PizzaSky 🍕

I mean, I feel like it often tells me things that, when I dig into it, aren’t entirely true. This isn’t really surprising.

When I first started using iOS 27, I had to retrain my brain that Siri is actually useful.

Lions football is back!

I’ve been using iOS 27 for a bit now. Siri is much better in this version, but still not as capable as other AIs.

This is the interview Trump’s FCC doesn’t want you to see. We’re not just going up against the most corrupt politician in Texas. We’re going up against this entire corrupt system.

With the launch of iPhone Duo is it a weird time to launch an app? I think @mackinac.social will adapt well to the screen based on some of the developer docs.

I will say that transition when you open the iPhone Duo is kinda cool.

Surprise! The Hunter Biden meme coin crashed. https://youtu.be/u7AesFaTEVk?is=6GRI9cDqoiW6FQLR

Did Apple really only announce a Pro and Duo iPhone? No base-level iPhone?

Still not a fan of foldable phones.
