I’ve been charging everything only wirelessly for 2 years. and the “killed battery” has remained a horror story from the Internet.

❗️the main thing: you should definitely not save on charging and cables.

Tried XChat. Here’s my honest take.
No calls. No video. No custom backgrounds.
Can’t even do what iMessage does by default.
Right now it’s not a messenger.
It’s just DMs with a new icon.
WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage - all built around communication first.
XChat feels like a feature someone shipped to hit a deadline.
Maybe v2 fixes this.
But right now? It’s a chat box inside a social network.
Nothing more.
Am I wrong or did anyone else expect more?

While everyone is yoking for cool wallpapers on the iPhone from Apple, Apple gives the tools for us to create them ourselves - the iPhone.

I have been using only my photos for wallpapers for more than 5 years and not only on the iPhone.

It’s hard to get an audience in X

What is better to leave one AI subscription?

This is exactly the pattern.
«Privacy-respecting» solution gets hacked.
So the fix is… less privacy.

The EU keeps solving security problems by removing freedoms instead of fixing architecture.
GDPR was supposed to protect users.
Age verification collects more data than it protects.

What’s next?
Regulation that sounds like protection
but works like surveillance.

The road to a digital prison is paved with good intentions.

METRO is one of my favorite franchises as well as STALKER.

I’m looking forward to the new story.

Out of office. My trusted assistant is in charge now. Please address all questions (and tuna treats) to him.

You’ve made a great point about architecture👌
However, I’m more worried about something simpler:
Many teams that release AI-powered features aren’t really considering governance.
They’re just following the crowd.
AI is a tool, and a really powerful one.
The issue is that we’ve stopped asking, «Should we use it here?» and started asking, «How do we add it everywhere?»
Get to know the tool and use it where it truly makes a difference.
Don’t just add it because it sounds good in a press release.

[Sergio Carter @hellosergio]

Most “AI-powered” features are just liability wrapped in a press release.
You’re not adding intelligence.
You’re adding a new attack surface, a hallucination risk, and a vendor dependency.
Ship the feature. Skip the AI wrapper. Choose wisely.

Gemini app available on macOS
So far, the best design among AI agents.

Protecting your data in 2026 is a choice nobody wants to make:
Self-host everything and become your own security team.
Or trust a corporation and hope they never get breached.
There’s no safe option.
Only the risk you’re more comfortable with.
Which one are you?
