Founder of @infinitearmory, following my daydreams…

[jb @jb]

Heard about @RiversidedotFM as a decent podcast host from a friend, signed up, got to the other side of their onboarding flow and got a full block of "We don't support Safari, download Chrome". Excuse me? What year is it? Fuck off.

@flyosity @joshmanders The one that’s worked for me is using both. Build code with one and have the other review it. Have them talk to each other until they agree. Melting pot 10.3 TM

@GarandThumb1 @WeaponOutfitter What’s the keyboard combo for an em dash?

[jb @jb]

@luciascarlet 😍

@DurvidImel @OutofGalaxyy @LeakerApple Andrew tries to confirm again at 14:55 and you say again that it’s just the same as the “original” 26 before they dialed it back… and then mention the outline change. But it really isn’t, it is significantly more transparent (and beautiful) than even the original 26 version.

[jb @jb]

I have just been down the rabbit hole of Mamiya lenses being speed boosted for full frame sensors in order to get full glass coverage and I’m afraid my wallet is going to be crying for the next little while. 🤯

[jb @jb]

It starts about 13:40. At 14:05 you say “It’s not more than before” in response to Andrew asking if people wanted it “more glassy”. But it is *significantly* “more than before”.

But please know I’m just giving you a hard time, I’m not actually/seriously criticizing. There’s just a crowd of us dorky glass fanboys out here who *love* the more transparent option and what an amazing job the designers did with it. It’s this next generation’s version of early OS X Aqua (before they dialed it back in late OS X). And it’s glorious. Just want to see the designers get recognition for it.

[jb @jb]

@OutofGalaxyy @LeakerApple Thank you for calling that out, that was really aggravating when @DurvidImel said that. Like all the designers that put so much time into making it even glassier and he's just like "yah it's the same" lol. Us glass enthusiasts demand a correction! 😂

The new beta Claude Code model switcher

[jb @jb]

Disinformation spread by @DurvidImel on @WVFRM that the "more glass" setting is the same as iOS 26 default (even from v1) was sad. It's definitely not, it's full on glass, it's gorgeous, it's the only right way to use the new OS, and it's MAJOR Aqua nostalgia.🩵

Mike is a smart dude and I love him, this isn’t meant to specifically criticize this one tweet. But reaction Twitter is the worst Twitter. I’m far more interested in the philosophies that drive the reactions… for example:

The conversation around private, American companies creating technology (nuclear, ai, doesn’t matter) that has national security implications is deeply interesting in the context of a republic. The state is going to have opinions. Technologists will have opinions. Where those merge and conflict is a fascinating topic. But instead all we have access to is 280 char hot takes. Nobody has conversations… and I crave them. My mind will always be curious and hungry for this, maybe it’s a curse.

Social media nailed the social part, but the media part still has room to grow.

[Mike Rundle @flyosity]

@nicdunz they're strong-arming Anthropic into letting the U.S. military use Mythos and if they don't get their way, then they can permanently fuck up Anthropic's entire business

[jb @jb]

@GTROOPCOREY It took this long?

[jb @jb]

Yeah someone should check in on the @sketch team and make sure they’re okay. 😬

[Sindre Sorhus @sindresorhus]

LOL. I spent months adding SF Symbols icons to 50+ apps and now Apple decides they don't want icons in menus after all 🤷‍♂️

[Perry E. Metzger @perrymetzger]

I have said this before, but to those of us using AI systems to get lots of work done reliably and quickly, the people who post online about how AIs still hallucinate constantly, about how they can’t write code, etc., seem equivalent to people trying to convince you that the car you drive to work every day doesn’t exist.

You tell them things like “but I drive a car. I paid money for it. I buy gasoline for it. I could not possibly be working twenty miles away from home if I didn’t have the car?” and they reply that you are imagining having a car, or that you’re lying because you work for a car company.

It is as though these people live in a completely different reality.

[jb @jb]

@SPA001 Yes, but updated Xii version. Been seen with dev for a long time now.

[jb @jb]

Now who’s training who. Love it.

[Aaron Cannon @AaronLCannon]

I started talking to my co-founder like Claude

[jb @jb]

@bavedikian @BestBuy @FedEx You have a real shit CC company. The “process” doesn’t take forever. They issue an immediate credit for the amount and then do their investigation on the backend. Get a better bank.

[jb @jb]

@Shpigford Why care though? Legitimately people like to use services like Apple’s hide-my-email and many users that use disposable emails are doing it for the same reason. Why not key off mobile phone number instead? More reliable and plenty of APIs to not allow VOIPs like Google Voice.

Imagine being such an insufferable douche to claim “zero tolerance” on social media for how dad’s vacation with their kids with “cAnT GEt TiME bACk” and then boasting in your profile you do Ironman’s 💀

[Chris Boettcher @chrisboettcher9]

I have zero tolerance for dads who show up on vacation, immediately crack and cold one, and then spend hours observing the fun their kids are having from a chair instead of being a part of it.

You can choose numbness or you can choose to make memories. You don't get the time back.

I would use the F outta this. Even as an iPhone Air user.

[Phil Traut ᯅ @SpatiallyMe]

Will we get a transparent wallpaper option in iOS 19? Probably not, as it would totally drain the battery—but I’ve always wondered what that would look like!

Thanks to the talented Om Chachad, aka @TheOriginaliTE, who helped me build this into a fully functional prototype, we can now take a closer look at our “Glass Wallpaper” concept.

This might be my favourite concept yet. The way the iPhone dynamically adapts to its surroundings, almost like a chameleon, reminds me why I love visionOS so much—it just feels more personal. I’d love to see Apple bring more of this into iOS in the future.
