I’d like to try non-Apple mechanical keyboards because they look cool and they got stylish design but the problem with those third-party keyboards like Lofree is the lack of non-English language support.

Memories
Today is my mother’s 91st birthday. She passed away 18 months ago, but the memories of her remain vivid. This morning, my iPhone suggested a video memory highlighting cherished moments with her, which nearly brought me to tears. Time may have flown by, but my affection for her endures, even though I wasn’t that close to her, not has much as I would have liked. One of my last photos of her. 😔

If I get it well, each iOS 18.1 beta release will be a few days later than each iOS 18.0 betas, provided that iOS 18.1 gets all the fixed and features in iOS 18.0, right? But public betas will be a week later for each iOS 18 branch release? Or iOS 18.1 branch will be devs only? Still with me? 🤪

If I set my iPad to use US English so that Apple Intelligence can do its magic, my iPhone is also set to use the same settings automatically. What?? What is going on here?
I want to use my iPad in full US English for Apple Intelligence testing but leave my iPhone alone so that I can use it in French Canadian is the old Siri stuff. 😳😔😡
-
I believe it could take anywhere from 12 to 18 months for Apple Intelligence to make its way to Canada and support the French Canadian language. (This text was originally written by me than processed by Apple Intelligence to make it more friendly). #appleintelligence

That’s interesting. #ipados181 #appleintelligence 🧐🤨😏

I am installing iPadOS 18.1 beta 1 on my iPad Pro right now because… just for text proofreading1 and summarizing, it’s worth it. Most of my creative hobby happens to be done in English. Also, changing the device region (not the Apple ID region) to US is not a big deal. Finally, I don’t talk too often to Siri on my iPad (which I do in French on my iPhone, though).

Soon: bye bye Grammarly Premium. ↩︎

So iOS 18.1 is a thing, after all. Well, as I live in Canada, I’m not going to set the region to English US on my phone1. I rather wait and see other devs and YouTubers delve into this beta of Apple Intelligence and see how it goes. That should be fun and interesting.
Update: changing the region of the device doesn’t do much except for date formatting, temperature metric and dollars amount formatting. Oh, and if you set one device (iPad) to use one region, the other device (iPhone) will also use the same region. Why?
-
I’m not sure what would be the consequences of doing so, besides the Date, Time and Currency settings being changed. ↩︎

Is today’s world (AI models training, security, etc.), I wonder if site owners are well equipped with robots.txt as the only way to control who’s in and who’s out when it comes to deciding free and massive content consumption on their site.

There will not be an issue of my weekly creative summary newsletter this week, as I have been focused on another project. You can, of course, visit pass issues by visiting this index page! I hope you don’t mind!

I had a bug in one of my IFTTT applets that usually gets each post I share and stores it on Day One. The applet hasn’t run since July 7th, but I only found out today. Sadly, the IFTTT RSS feed service doesn’t keep a pointer of the last successful import. I’m not sure what to do to recover the posts that weren’t saved. 🤔😒

Who is the Micro.blog community manager, again? Thanks.

FYI: Synology Drive Client with macOS Sequoia aren’t going well at all together. Beware.

Jeff Perry on Reddit deal with Google for content access exclusivity in indexing their content: The Enshittification of Search Continues
This could set a precedent for other sites like Hacker News and Pinterest to start searching for the highest bidder to make their content exclusive on another search engine. Eventually other sites might do the same in hopes to thwart the serial scraping of their content for AI models to learn from and make a few bucks in the process. It is just another byproduct of the Enshittification of the web.
Troubling, indeed. Emphasis is mine.
-
Seriously considering closing my Reddit account. It’s not worth it. And their corporate attitude don’t align with my values.

Anyone using macOS Sequoia beta 4 in here? Is it stable enough to install on a secondary Mac? Asking for a friend.

In iOS 18 beta 4, look at user ratings in the App Dtore and the choice Apple made for the star’s gray shades… it’s very hard to spot how many actual stars were given out of the five. Is this on purpose? 👀🧐

It’s 8:45 AM. The joy of running beta software. 😱👀

👋🏻 I’m a little bit late, but hey, here is the newest edition of my weekly creative summary newsletter. The email edition is coming up later today. 😅
