Following my request to close my Adobe Stock account, I finally got my money for selling some of my pictures through Adobe Stock. I made a big 20 US$ directly dropped to my PayPal account. 🙂

Thanks to the recently introduced “one-page” site feature with Micro.blog coupled with a redirect for the root of the site ("/")1, now someone hitting “photos.numericcitizen.me” will end up on my Pixelfed profile page! I find this clever! 😌 More details in this week-end video! 🙂

How often did Apple kill an app from launching on the Mac because it was deemed a bad actor? I think not that many times. Could this be the same on the iPad in the post-iOS 17.4 world? 🤔

Apple, Generative AI and the iPhone Revenues

Numerous applications and services now incorporate AI features. For instance, consider Notion Q&A or Raycast AI. Companies view this as an opportunity to boost revenue by offering these additional features for a fee. However, I recently pondered the possibility that if Apple integrates generative AI into Siri, as rumored for iOS 18, they may not charge for it. This could give Apple a significant advantage, as the revenue from iPhone sales could cover the associated costs. This could become an enormous advantage for Apple.

Introducing the Numeric Citizen Hub, a brand new landing page1. Thanks to the recently introduced “One-page website” feature on Micro.blog, you can now learn about the places I share my creativity right from a single place2. Enjoy.
