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?

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

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”.

We are solely responsible for the concentration of power in the hands of a few large tech companies. As individuals, we granted all that power to these megacorporations, which, at one point, were not yet large corporations. Thinking otherwise is ludicrous. Laws are a band-aid, we, the individual by our own choices must take back that power. We need to undo the last 15 years to some degree of equilibrium.

DeekSeek being open source, some people might wish that open source wasn’t a thing. But it is! 😂 #deepseek

Tim Cook might be the biggest public figure of Apple, but for this publicity stunt for Severance where he is visiting “Lumon Industries” headquarters, I wish it was Craig Federighi, instead. He would have done a better job.

One of my past colleague is now a system administrator of a few IBM Z Series mainframes¹. He is 58 and is the youngest of the team managing this stuff, the other team members are 62 and 72(!). It’s very hard to find people who knows about CICS, IDMS, Ctrl-M, all running on mainframes these days. I started my IT career on an IBM TN3270 connected to a mainframe running MVS. Good memories.
