• I detest the feeling of discovering that I’ve shared a photo more than once. I yearn for a foolproof method to distinguish between the photos that have been posted and those that haven’t. I’m not always using the same method or same device for posting photos online.

  • With a secret request by the UK government for a backdoor in iCloud, can you imagine if it was to be granted and then later down the line something like what’s happening in the US is taking over the government and institutions happen? It is hard to comprehend what is happening every day these days.

  • I’ve been experiencing crashes in the Mac App Store and iOS App Store in recent times like never before. Right after an app update finishes, the store quit unexpectedly or just by looking at the list of available updates. Surprising.

  • Non-Optimized for the iPad

    Apple told the developers that building an iPad was a matter of clicking a checkbox (more or less). Now, why is Apple Sports, Apple Journal and more recently, Apple Invites are not optimized for the iPad? 🤨🤷🏻‍♂️ read more

  • Quite positive experience with Apple Invites so far. I feel they move the needle and bring a much more enjoyable experience compared to other similar offerings. Nice user interface visual language. It feels new and very Apple. I like it. Is it something that preclude what is coming up with iOS 19?

  • Using ChatGPT to analyze anonymized resumes1 and match them with a set of requirements is quite an impressive experience. I’m mind blown.


    1. It’s mandatory for privacy protection. ↩︎

  • Apparently, the EU get porn apps, but we get Apple Intelligence. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • Now the orange clown put tariffs on hold for 30 days… what an erratic guy… I know he is doing that on purpose because this is the only way he runs his businesses…

  • For once, I’m really proud of him, of us. This is Canada’s Prime Minister of Canada, Mr. Justin Trudeau, announcing retaliatory actions against the White House absurd and unjustified tariffs. The first four minutes entirely reflect who we are. So well said and quite moving, actually. 🇨🇦 💪🏻

  • Finally!

    I’m finally enjoying this moment where I can show the title field while writing a blog post on Micro.blog. read more

  • In my latest edition of The Ephemeral Scrapbook: “Got a keyboard. I took a break because of work. I’m skipping DeepSeek. The iPhone 16 Pro Max vs Samsung Galaxy 25 Ultra. Who wins? Marking the start of a dark era.”

  • As a Canadian who will face unjust tariffs thanks to the small clique of rich and famous people in the White House, I will reconsider each of my subscriptions that originate from the United States, including Apple One. It starts now.

  • I understand that people, particularly my colleagues, are using ChatGPT much more than they are willing to admit, as evidenced by my conversations with a few of them this morning.

  • Where Tapestry and Reeder Fail

    Thought on the morning: I think that apps like Tapestry and Reeder1 are failing at one thing: a single timeline where content converge is enough. It isn’t. I came to realize that the world is complex and requires many angles of content consumption. Another problem is the diversity in feed … read more

  • Great article from Adam Engst comparing Grammarly to Apple Intelligence Writing tools. It’s ironic that a third-party software brings better integration, less friction to the writing experience than Apple’s first-party offering.

  • I think that every single day that I’m working on a Mac I tell myself: “What a joy is this working with this”.

  • An upcoming version of Craft will incorporate an embedded DeepSeek R1 model to enable fully disconnected prompts answering. I’m not aware of other apps which include LLM. Beta is expected this week to a few early birds willing to test. I’m wondering how well will we be able to query our Craft content. It’s a potentially exciting twist.

  • I’d love to be there right now instead of enduring winter.

  • Today, I decided to let go a few writing ideas from my “idea pipeline.” I realized that sometimes, the words we choose not to write are just as significant as the ones we do.

  • In Support of Greg Morris' Micro Social App

    I just realized that my face was on a few screenshots of Micro Social, an app currently being developed by Greg Morris. He shared an article today on his blog where he talks about the timeline feature. That’s cool. What is even cooler is that I decided to support him with a $1 a month … read more
