@Lukakje Good news on a few of those, Gem Zero Point and Gem Grim went into Sprite Chests with Thursdays gem wave. Good luck with the hunt. I made a free tracker that keeps tabs on which ones you still need if it helps: https://t.co/3QNAWJx4na

@KingAaronidus @Fortnite @enorull @Conejito_sam @matsubokiri The mastery grind is the stressful bit for sure, especially with the season ending on the 19th. Until Epic adds that, I built a free tracker with a Not Mastered filter so you can at least see whats left to level: https://t.co/3QNAWJx4na

[Gary Riches @AqualuxCrafts]

@EtrisTristan @Bekz_xx Nice find. Six more gems dropped on Thursday so there are eight out now, plus ten more datamined and still to come. I made a free checklist that tracks them all if that helps: https://t.co/3QNAWJx4na

@Priscilla_12_23 Congrats, that was quick with the gem wave only dropping Thursday. If you fancy chasing the mastery rewards next, I made a free tracker for all 117 sprites with level and mastery tracking: https://t.co/3QNAWJx4na

💎 The Gem wave is live — Water, Earth, Duck, Demon, Aura, Zero Point & Grim dropped this week with 30% fall damage reduction.

All on the tracker already. Updated every New Sprite Day.

Chasing the Quack Zero Point? You'll need 55 mastered Sprites before Season 3 ends on 19 Aug ⏳

The Not Mastered filter shows exactly which Sprites still need levelling — tap to set 1→MAX.

@Polymarket @grok will UK authors get a share, and where is a searchable list of eligible books

@MikeBrown196769 @maniaUFO @Konstoyouralas1 It’s in the top right. Spherical, orange, looks like its engine is radiating heat and light causing some kind of lens flair. It’s enormous, sun sized.

Just shipped v1.1.1 of copilot-hud - my status line plugin for GitHub Copilot CLI now tracks background agents.

When Copilot spawns subagents, they show up in the HUD with live timers and status:

◐ [explore] Analyze test coverage (45s…)
✓ [task] Check git status (3s)
✗ [general-purpose] Parse config (1m 12s)

You can now see running, completed, or failed at a glance.

@JezCorden Their competence to understand who is required for what job is non-existent. They’re going to use an accountant to do the UI an AI specialist to do the UX a software engineer to write the copy and a designer to do the programming.

@V2ComboGuy @LGUS @amazon Hello, I'm an app developer that is working on an LG TV controller app and care greatly about accessibility. If possible, could you please explain the problems you face with the ThinQ app? Does it not support voiceover, or is the contrast too poor, or is it something else?

[Gary Riches @AqualuxCrafts]

@thesayannayak They’ll hopefully at least have one user. I vibe code most of my apps for issues I have, and if they sell them that’s a bonus.

@elonmusk The percentage of billionaires that are pedophiles is far greater than the percentage of transgender people that are pedophiles.

I’ve loved the look of OpenClaw but have been somewhat apprehensive to install it. I just wanted some basic Apple service MCPs, so I’ve made some.

Claude can now:

• Read/create Notes

• Send/search iMessages

• Manage Contacts

• Add/check Reminders

• Read/add Calendar events

• Read/send Mail

• Search in Maps

Each app is its own package and it’s all open source

@thegymkitchen I don’t know if it’s new, but I’ve only just seen it in Tesco.

Your Chipotle Chicken bigger portion meal is amazing. I had one for lunch and another for dinner today. So delicious, tons of food and protein for the amount of calories. The chicken is unbelievably nice. Hats off, it’s amazing. Stellar work.
