On the Mac, I consume Apple Music via music.apple.com. Lighter. Faster. Better design. Trustable. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Another item added to my wish list… 👀

Comet, Dia: these AI-focused browsers aren’t clicking with me. I tried many times. I prefer to use a native client like ChatGPT, which will surf for me when needed.

Accenture’s layoffs of over 11,000 employees are attributed to a lack of AI-skilled workers, prompting questions about the true motivations behind the job cuts. Continue reading →

What a wonderful weekend in Montreal. The weather is ideal—just the kind that makes fall my favorite season.

I have a one-day holiday vacation on Thursday, right in the middle of the week, and I still have no plans. 🤨 Weather should be perfect, though. 🍁🍂🚲👀

Here’s another edition (Craft edition) of the world-famous Ephemeral Scrapbook newsletter. It’s also published as a free newsletter on Ghost. Maintaining this newsletter is quite fun and forces me to explore more than I would if I weren’t authoring it. My publishing cadence is also quite consistent. I wish more people knew about it and would subscribe… but hey, that’s the life of any blogger.

Is ChatGPT enshitification about to begin? It certainly looks like it. Fuck.

I created this diagram in MindNote Next today for a video about Craft and tags usage. There is a “Focus Mode” where the UI disappears, allowing us to focus on the content, as shown in this screenshot. There is one big problem with this: the “Focus Mode” status button at the top. It is highly distracting to me; I can’t focus. 😳

If the US government actually shuts down, does this include the shutdown of the white house and everyone in it? Asking for a friend. 🍊

How many ways can you write that the iPhone 17 is an improvement compared to last year’s iPhone 16? 🤨

Today, I decided to add Screen Studio to my digital toolbox. Some form of video editing is tedious and much less intuitive in ScreenFlow, and I think Screen Studio really shines here. Using this type of quick animation helps focus on what matters most.

I have a deep feeling that AI and Apple Intelligence are consuming a significant amount of development resources at Apple, which could explain why this year’s releases are so buggy.

In the article “Why Everybody Is Losing Money On AI,” Edward Zitron discusses the unsustainable financial model of generative AI companies, highlighting that they are consistently unprofitable due to high operational costs and escalating expenses associated with model inference.

In other words, AI is a money pit.

A four-day Microsoft course highlights the increasing reliance on Copilot, suggesting a future where instructors may be replaced by AI tools. Continue reading →

It’s been two weeks (if not three) since Apple released iOS/iPadOS/macOS 26 are out… and still no iWork update. 👀 It must be hard to implement Liquid Glass… even for Apple.

I’m concluding that without an external screen, multitasking on the iPad is best experienced with Stage Manager. It’s a more controlled experience (hence requiring less management). With an external monitor, then going all in with windowing is the way to go. That’s my conclusion anyway.

With flexibility comes mandatory management. That’s the case with iPadOS multitasking. Ideally, management should be kept at the minimum. That’s not the case with the current state of iPadOS windowing system. It. Is. So. Cumbersome. It. Is. A. Regression.

I think that, from what I observed and experienced since Apple OS 26 releases, some apps inherently lend themselves better at Apple’s Liquid Glass adoption because of dev abilities but also because of the very nature of the app. Craft and Reeder are good examples. There are a few others.

The latest ludicrous bug found, this time on iPadOS 26.1 beta1. That is really one of its kind. 🥴
