Ben Thompson can ask and answer this about Apple Vision Pro much better than I, go read it!

What exactly is this useful for? Who has room for another device in their life, particularly one that costs $3,499?

Apple Vision is incredibly compelling, first as a product, and second as far as potential use cases. What it says about society, though, is a bit more pessimistic.

Now you can actually wear the reality distortion field right on your face.

Do you use Mastodon? Do you have a WordPress site? Starting today, you can use the Jetpack plugin to automatically publish your posts to your Mastodon account.

When writing new posts or editing existing posts in the WordPress editor, you have the option to automatically share that post (alongside with some text and an image) with your Fediverse followers.

Give it a try and let us know what you think! We'll continue to iterate on the feature in the next few weeks, and would be happy with any feedback you may have. :)

Note: we've developed the feature with Mastodon in mind, but we know there are dozens of microblogging tools allowing you to post to the Fediverse today. Our integration already works with some of those tools out of the box, but not all. We're definitely aiming to support other aspects of the Fediverse in the future.

And another note: maybe you'd rather have your site become its own ActivityPub actor? That's possible, too! You can install the ActivityPub plugin, and each author on your site will have their own ActivityPub account, where each one of their new posts will be pushed.

@codinghorror exactly my thoughts last night. Meaning: in 20 years we will be at iPhone 1 days? Remember: no apps, no copy-paste.
Hope it'll go faster this time!

Ok looks like it's getting worse before it may get better again! This one is a surprise so quickly after the Binance case yesterday, at least to me.

I'm excited about the possibilities Apple mentioned for the Vision Pro mixed reality headset. It's getting us closer to the Cyberspace imagined by William Gibson et.al! https://www.apple.com/apple-vision-pro/

Imagine a world where many more billions of people live and work with a lot less personal space than we have today. No space for a desk for everyone. And we collaborate globally, no longer in offices. We need new personal communication, creation, consumation devices.

40 years of Wargames! And most of the topics are still current affairs: passwords, nuclear, computer simulations - and the question of how much decision power should be left to the computer (Chat GPT, anyone?)

Not even sure I've seen WarGames! Sneakers was my first hacker movie, and Tron also left a good impression

Ich habe die letzten Nächte damit verbracht, mich durch nahezu alle 1,3 Milliarden deutschsprachige Tweets der letzten zwei Jahre zu wühlen, weil @janboehm wissen wollte, wie sich Twitter verändert hat.

@mschories und ich haben zeigen können, dass die Gruppe aus vorwiegend rechten Accounts immer lauter wird, während die meisten restlichen Gruppen schrumpfen und weniger twittern.

Wie wir das gemacht haben und die Ergebnisse findet ihr auf https://vogel.rip . #vogelrip

Falls das noch nicht reicht, werds ich nächste Woche auf der #rp23 bei meinem Vortrag #AbschiedVonTwitter weitere Einblicke geben.
