Re: Siri narrating text messages, @atpfm @siracusa @caseyliss @marcoarment, the absolute best – most annoying/hilarious – of this has got to be announcing when a friend sends their Wordle score.

“Debbie said, ‘yellow square emoji, yellow square emoji, green square emoji, yellow square emoji…’”

Welcome, Stitcher users!

I started Overcast ten years ago in large part because I was afraid of Stitcher taking over the market with its proprietary walled garden (which was even more walled at the time, and was gaining significant traction).

I wanted to ensure that the open world of podcasting survived and thrived, even when faced with strong proprietary threats.

The names and players have changed since then, and the battle continues, but open podcasting remains dominant and healthy today.

@matt yep. @siracusa said something to this extent recently. Even the base M1 is plenty enough power for so much of the customer base.
@marcoarment no major issues so far for me. *salutes* Major Issues.
@matt oof. What a great album. No skips.
@9to5Mac N ow I just need to be able to make this my Siri voice. I heard self-talk is important.

So on board for Apple Vision Pro...

... until they announced price.

Very clear they aren't interested in any normal people having this.

Even normal people who are willing to pay twice what something is worth to get it (iPhone, iPad, Mac, AirPods, etc.)

Looking at this pricing model, the next AirPods pro should be $1,500. Next iPhone should be about $5,000, and Next iPad Pro should be about that much as well.

Oh well.

1. Laurie Cardoza-Moore has promoted conspiracy theories about 9/11

She defended to plot to kidnap the Governor of Michigan

Now Tennessee House Speaker @[email protected] has appointed her to a board charged with creating the state's social studies standards

This isn't a joke

Finally giving @ivory a try! Loving it so far. Definitely feels more like when Twitter was great.
