Something I just learned this morning about Micro.blog:

Do cross the streams! Bluesky starter packs now available to follow within Micro.blog. Here’s one in Micro.blog on the web with people who post about books. No batch follow yet, but a fun way to discover new users. An experiment that we’ll refine. You can search for a Bluesky pack URL to open it.

Starter Packs are great to quickly browse and see who might be interesting to follow… but following the whole starter pack is a no-go for me. The way I understand it is that you are following all the pack members in one hop. I prefer to pick and choose.

As reported from MacRumors: A new button for camera-related functionality coming to the iPhone 17 Pro? Will they fix or improve the Camera Control? I hope they work on that, too, just like when the iterated on the haptic engine in the early days of the iPhone.

Two apps. Tapestry on the left, a beta that supports Liquid Glass. Micro.blog on the right, still not supporting Liquid Glass. Look at the elements spacing and content areas. This is the future that awaits us.

OneNote, an app made by Microsoft, running on Windows 11, an OS made by Microsoft, doesn’t support text selection by double clicking on a word and dragging across, word-by-word. It’s 2025, for god’s sake. But we have AI everywhere, there’s that. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I wonder if Apple has a “disable Liquid Glass” kill switch at their disposal just in case things turn awful before September launch so they can get more time refining or scrapping Liquid Glass altogether until next year? What would be left in os26 then?

I’ve been trying Claude AI recently and beyond the answers I get to my prompts, I really like the output style, much more than OpenAI. By order of preference, it goes like this: Claude, Perplexity then OpenAI.
