@gruber did you see that Tim Cook was at the White House last night (the day of the killing) to spend time with Trump and watch a private screening of Melania?
@gruber Enjoyed your article! Every interaction I’ve had in the Apple Store recently has included a (clearly forced) question about if I’ve used Apple Intelligence, visual intelligence, Image Playground, etc. I always want to remark that it’s just not good enough to be pushed this hard. I brought my MacBook in recently for a slight lid re-alignment, and it was brought back to me with new damage and an improperly seated bottom plate. The only thing said to me was, “have you tried Writing Tools?”

What to know about Threads

There’s been a lot of speculation around what Threads will be and what it means for Mastodon. We’ve put together some of the most common questions and our responses based on what was launched today.

Mastodon Blog

The funniest thing about threads so far is that anyone who has been in software for a while can immediately see what happened here: they reduced scope to launch an early milestone.

There's a lot that feels very incomplete. Basic functionality missing, no web UI. The "threads" icon on web just switches between dark mode and light mode.

It's very obvious that this is unpolished, alpha-level stuff that got launched. No AP support, that's "coming soon".

They wanted to eat Musk's lunch big time.

I have a feeling you're gonna like my new book, ✨FEELINGS✨
