I’m surprised that the new Movies section here on Micro.blog didn’t end up in a revamped Discovery section. To me, it’s seems like a good fit.

As reported by 9to5Mac, AltStore is to support Fediverse with its own Mastodon instance:

AltStore is embracing ActivityPub and the fediverse, with its own Mastodon server, allowing developers and users to have a more direct channel of communication and interaction.

This is, among other things, what we are missing with Apple’s tight control on its App Store.

I agree with Eric Schwarz, yep, it’s utterly curious:

Curiously, I am surprised that the iWork suite, as well as GarageBand, Pixelmator Pro, and other Apple apps have not been updated—it’s a really weird thing when Cupertino’s own have been sent to squircle jail.

I’m juggling with two options to make Liquid Glass bearable: Reduce Transparency and Display Borders. The latter is a newly discovered option. Moreover, beta 2 of iOS 26.1 seems to include tweaks to Liquid Glass effects and transparency. I’m hoping some YouTubers will highlight those tweaks, if I’m not mistaken.

For a few reasons, I’m tempted to subscribe to… The Verge. This would be the first such case of subscribing to a news site. I kind of like the site design and content; there is a community vibe if commenters are any indication. However, even as a subscriber, I may still receive ads served to me. 😑 Anyone subscribing to The Verge here? Thoughts?

What a beautiful day it is. I had an 11 KM hike today. We touched 30 °C, which is astonishing for October 5th. I mean, this is autumn, guys!
