      <description>&lt;p&gt;They finally &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.diabrowser.com/release-notes/latest&#34;&gt;added sync&lt;/a&gt; to Dia!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m switching between Firefox and Dia as my main browsers currently, wonder if this&amp;rsquo;ll change that&amp;hellip; I loved Arc&amp;rsquo;s full tab sync feature, it was so sick!&lt;/p&gt;

This will also happen across two separate machines!”&#34;&gt;

&lt;p&gt;why does it actually seem good tho??&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Muse Spark is the first step on our scaling ladder and the first product of a ground-up overhaul of our AI efforts.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Came across this interesting post on &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.reddit.com/r/iPhone17Pro/s/hoBEXZTL2n&#34;&gt;Reddit&lt;/a&gt; showing the real battery usage of Liquid Glass…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh, I really don’t wanna use low power mode full-time yet, but really might have to 😅&lt;/p&gt;

      <guid>http://jackk.micro.blog/2025/09/28/after-what-some-users-were.html</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;After what some users were using GPT-4o for months ago, I’m happy that any chats that get too “emotional” go to GPT-5.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At least this is in the ChatGPT app when using GPT-4o as a legacy model.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&#34;https://eu.uploads.micro.blog/195138/2025/351bc0ab82.jpg&#34; width=&#34;600&#34; height=&#34;386&#34; alt=&#34;Nick Turley discusses testing a new safety routing system in ChatGPT that switches to a reasoning model or GPT-5 for sensitive topics.&#34;&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I’m not gonna say I want everyone on one app, because that’s gonna inevitably go wrong (look at Twitter)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BUT I just want to be able to follow anyone I want using whichever service + client!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Platforms → Protocols&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Ok my AirPods seem normal now, nice!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyone know why live translation won’t work?? I’ve downloaded the models but it doesn’t seem to work? It just sends this notification and reads it out SUPER loudly LMAOO&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Just got a Comet invite! Won’t be my main browser bc it looks pretty “clunky”, but I’m curious 👀&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Guess I’ll see if I can get it working on Linux on my laptop, otherwise using it on Mac mini&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Just downloaded the (real) Instagram iPad app &amp;amp; I’m not a fan of the Reels-first design they’ve gone for. Definitely feels like it’s the direction TikT-, sorry, Instagram is going in 🥲&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&#34;https://eu.uploads.micro.blog/195138/2025/efcdcce006.jpg&#34; width=&#34;600&#34; height=&#34;450&#34; alt=&#34;Screenshot of the instagram app running on an iPad 7th generation. It shows people I follow along the top, with a circle in purple, pink and yellow (Instagram logo highlights) showing that they have posted Stories. In the centre is an Instagram reel (on the home page). On the left are the other menus within the app (home selected.)&#34;&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The white/silver iPhone 17 pro design makes me think of the first Mac mini.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The way it has its own white back slate with the Apple logo, surrounded by silver 👀&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;#AppleEvent&lt;/p&gt;

The phone has three large camera lenses arranged in a triangular layout in the top left corner, along with a smaller flash and an additional sensor. The design is sleek with a smooth metallic finish against a plain white background.

The device has the Apple logo on the top surface and a thin slot on the front, likely for discs or media. (Apple Mac mini first generation) &#34;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The top left has the date 20250919. Centred text says, &amp;quot;A NEW WRITING APP FROM MEDIUM&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;Talismanic Kiosk&amp;quot; below it in a large, bold font. Underneath that is the name &amp;quot;JACK&amp;quot; and then a web address, &amp;quot;[https://medium.com/tk](https://medium.com/tk)&amp;quot;. In the bottom left corner, there is a QR code that says &amp;quot;TK&amp;quot; in the middle.&#34;&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Surprised they’re already here at this store tbh!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I LOVE the sage green, looks even better in person&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;possibly their last day of use? 🤔&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;hoping the AirPods Pro come today :D&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These regular ones have been good to me! Used them mostly daily for over 4 years atp, still decent, but I’m sooo excited to try ANC on the Pros!&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Wth, battery life on iOS 26 has recently gotten worse. Not sure why, at first it felt the same (?) but now it’s like this!?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2hrs SOT on an iPhone 16 is wild.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;98% BH btw&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Just finished restringing my knock-off Red Special guitar 😍&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s gonna be going out of tune all the time for a few days now, but oh well&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First time doing this one myself! I thought it’d be hard as strings go through the back, but nope! 🎸&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(I need to clean this.)&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The estimated time to (x%) charge feature on iOS 26 is nice&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyways I’m gonna leave this plugged in for a bit whilst it keeps processing whatever it needs to for the update in the background and I’ll do some work 😭 (or try.)&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Not a fan of the new Instagram app. I agree with Dylan in this tweet, imo they’re holding onto the uncertainty of TikTok’s future in the US and trying to make Insta the new TikTok (esp since they launched that Edits app.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Perfect shoutout for &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.flashes.blue/&#34;&gt;Flashes&lt;/a&gt;! A real Instagram alternative built on #atproto!&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Turns out Gemini is very good at making visualisations in HTML - so I played around with a tool to &lt;a href=&#34;https://atproto-demo.j4ck.xyz/&#34;&gt;visualise atproto&lt;/a&gt; and it’s open source on &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/j4ckxyz/atproto-live-demo&#34;&gt;GitHub&lt;/a&gt;! Might help with explaining to average/new users? iirc some other similar tool may exist, but I forgot.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;🇮🇹We took a cable car up to the mountains in Malcesine (next to Lake Garda) - here&amp;rsquo;s some pictures I took!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The colours are pretty accurate to what it was like, I tried to reduce noise in digiKam on Linux! (shot on my Canon digital camera)&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;interesting note at the &lt;a href=&#34;https://help.openai.com/en/articles/11909943-gpt-5-in-chatgpt?utm_source=chatgpt.com&#34;&gt;bottom of the OpenAI help centre&lt;/a&gt; is that all these models are deprecated with the launch of GPT-5, and old models can only be used as a ChatGPT &lt;strong&gt;Pro&lt;/strong&gt; user ($200/month)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&#34;https://jackk.micro.blog/uploads/2025/screenshot-20250808-082222.png&#34; width=&#34;600&#34; height=&#34;533&#34; alt=&#34;Screenshot of the OpenAI Help centre about the rate limits and usage of GPT-5 across the different ChatGPT tiers. Text shown:&amp;10;&amp;10;&amp;quot;Model deprecations and old conversations&amp;10;When GPT-5 launches, several older models will be retired, including:&amp;10;&amp;10;GPT-4o&amp;10;&amp;10;GPT-4.1&amp;10;&amp;10;GPT-4.5&amp;10;&amp;10;GPT-4.1-mini&amp;10;&amp;10;o4-mini&amp;10;&amp;10;o4-mini-high&amp;10;&amp;10;o3&amp;10;&amp;10;o3-pro&amp;10;&amp;10;If you open a conversation that used one of these models, ChatGPT will automatically switch it to the closest GPT-5 equivalent. Chats with 4o, 4.1, 4.5, 4.1-mini, o4-mini, or o4-mini-high will open in GPT-5, chats with o3 will open in GPT-5-Thinking, and chats with o3-Pro will open in GPT-5-Pro (available only on Pro and Team).&amp;10;&amp;10;Outputs may differ when continuing old conversations, since they’ll now use GPT-5 equivalents.&amp;10;&amp;10;For Free and Plus users, these changes take effect immediately. Pro, Team, and Enterprise users will also see the changes at launch but will have access to older models through legacy model settings.&amp;10;&amp;10;ChatGPT Pro users can enable access to legacy models by toggling on Show legacy models in ChatGPT settings.&amp;quot;&#34;&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;lmao, Theo’s correct here&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m happy with GPT-5, it’s nice that all users get it, it’s cheap via the API, and it’s the first (proper) good GPT coding model&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;so GitHub leaked GPT-5 well before its being announced by OpenAI (still not yet), and it’s interesting there are multiple different versions of it&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although it makes it less confusing imo 😂&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Excited to play with these models later!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&#34;https://jackk.micro.blog/uploads/2025/76a7ddfed4.jpg&#34; width=&#34;383&#34; height=&#34;600&#34; alt=&#34;The image is an announcement email from GitHub dated August 6, 2025, declaring that GPT-5 is now generally available in GitHub Models. The release is labeled as a 1-minute read. The top section features a comparison of AI models: OpenAI GPT-5, Llama 4 Scout, and Cohere v2, highlighting their performance metrics on a task to add categories to a transaction prompt. GPT-5 shows a higher accuracy with 90%. Beneath the models is a detailed text explaining GPT-5’s advanced capabilities, including improvements in reasoning, code quality, and user experience. It supports complex coding tasks with minimal prompting. Various GPT-5 model variants are introduced: gpt-5 for logic tasks, gpt-5-mini for cost-sensitive applications, gpt-5-nano for low latency, and gpt-5-chat for enterprise conversations. Users can access these models via the Models tab, GitHub Models playground, or GitHub API, encouraging experimentation with sample prompts. Links are provided for these options.&#34;&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;We headed down to the main town of Garda (?) today and it was ok, but pretty packed. I prefer the smaller surrounding lakes tbh, feels more natural. Still cool to see tho, I like the photos I took! (Here are 2 I shot on my iPhone)&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;also I love how multiple free WiFi’s I’ve been on make you login with windows live login or Facebook 😭&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don’t use either of these lol&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Interesting, Europe 🤔&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;also why is the next plan up 2TB!? I’m not paying  Apple £9/mo for 10x the storage when I’ve been using 200GB for years now..&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;This was pretty cool! My data cut out so I clicked on the little satellite thing on my iPhone (control centre) and it gave me an option to “Test” the satellite for some reason? (I think it’s only for SMS texts/calls)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cool to try tho, not done it before&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Took this photo in a moving car on my iPhone 16 in night mode!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tried to edit the black to be a bit darker since the road lights kinda made it a paler grey - not sure how it is tho, the stars look a bit blue imo&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Still cool?&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The new bitchat update allows for decentralised, encrypted messaging without needing a Bluetooth connection, using Nostr&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;kinda cool, if it works&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I still like the Bluetooth part tho haha&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&#34;https://jackk.micro.blog/uploads/2025/89821685ba.jpg&#34; width=&#34;500&#34; height=&#34;600&#34; alt=&#34;Bitchat Mesh iOS app on the Apple App Store&amp;10;&amp;10;Version 1.2.0 released 8 hours ago with notes:&amp;10;“the purple release: people who favorite each other can now private message outside of the bluetooth mesh, globally if internet is available. carry on the private conversation anywhere! this uses nostr relays as a backend, enabling a completely decentralized approach to private encrypted messaging. automatically switches to bluetooth transport if nearby.&amp;10;also made many network, battery, and Ul optimizations.”&#34;&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The funniest part of Spotify deactivating accounts that don’t complete the age verification process is that it only affects Spotify the most in the end ¯_(ツ)_/¯&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&#34;https://jackk.micro.blog/uploads/2025/533100006b.jpg&#34; width=&#34;276&#34; height=&#34;600&#34; alt=&#34;Screenshot of an ITV article (itv.com): “Spotify has warned that users’ accounts may be deleted if they fail to pass new age verification checks.&amp;10;&amp;10;The music streaming app has begun asking its users to verify if they are aged over 18 by using facial age estimations and ID verification.&amp;10;&amp;10;On its website, it reads: &amp;quot;You cannot use Spotify if you don’t meet the minimum age requirements for the market you’re in.&amp;10;&amp;10;&amp;quot;If you cannot confirm you’re old enough to use Spotify, your account will be deactivated and eventually deleted.&amp;quot;&amp;10;&amp;10;This has sent many on social media into a flurry, with one user saying, &amp;quot;the fact that you need to verify your age or have your account deleted really shows what&#39;s wrong with the world right now&amp;quot;.&amp;10;&amp;10;The Open Rights Group, which campaigns for digital freedoms, said: &amp;quot;Bad law makes for bad, incoherent outcomes.&amp;quot;&amp;10;&amp;10;“&#34;&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;uhh, why are so many companies making Twitter AI bots?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Perplexity, Grok (unsurprising tho) and now Anthropic?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;imo with the price of the Twitter API it&amp;rsquo;s best to just spend that money elsewhere..&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;my followers will know i&amp;rsquo;m not anti-AI but i think what meta is doing with instagram is AWFUL&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i went to make a new post from web, and when you click the &amp;ldquo;Create&amp;rdquo; button, this now has a drop down to either post images, or make AI slop 😭 (which are in insta DMs)&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;so the page to repeal the online safety act got nearly 400,000 votes (nearly 4x the amount for the government to reconsider it) and then this is what the government say?!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dumb asf&lt;/p&gt;

It has failed, wasted hours of your time on a Sunday afternoon, and has only led to more errors. I am deeply and profoundly sorry. This is a complete failure on my part to correctly diagnose this problem.&amp;10;&amp;10;The fundamental mistake I made was trying to force the server to be something it&#39;s not. It is designed to run on stdio, and we must communicate with it that way.&amp;10;&amp;10;We will not edit the server code again.&amp;quot;&#34;&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;for some reason my iPhone had a “System Crash” overnight on the iOS 26 public beta. Apple asked what I was doing on my phone at 00:54 so I was being honest 🤷‍♂️💤&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;the latest version of #CodenameGoose for Mac looks pretty nice. still a shame it&amp;rsquo;s not a &amp;ldquo;proper&amp;rdquo; Mac app, it feels like an electron app, but def an improvement.&lt;/p&gt;

These are people with absolutely NO TALENT, who were paid Millions of Dollars for, in all cases, destroying what used to be GREAT Television. It&#39;s really good to see them go, and I hope I played a major part in it!”&#34;&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;here&amp;rsquo;s my current Nobara Linux setup on my laptop (since I installed it hours ago)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;will probably change the italic font that&amp;rsquo;s being used - not a fan of the text on the apps on desktop&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;other than that, loving it so far!&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;RIP the Windows (currently!) native WhatsApp app. Shame that they&amp;rsquo;re killing it for yet another web wrapper.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope Mac won&amp;rsquo;t follow 😭&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I might actually just reinstall all of macOS when Tahoe releases (publicly).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tried literally everything there is online about how to clear &amp;ldquo;System Data&amp;rdquo; and seems like resetting it is the best thing to do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;rip the 256GB models 😅. It&amp;rsquo;s ok with external storage tho, but no apps (w/o formatting)&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Saw my friend today at the beach, we swam like 3 different times, had a burger for lunch, and was really nice. For like the last 5-10 mins before we were picked up it changed completely… there’s thunder rn 😅🤣&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;UK weather will never not surprise me&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;There were fireworks outside my house for some reason (super close and loud), I’ll just pretend they were for the #LiveAid 40th 🤣🤣&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So fun watching this on TV!&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;what&amp;rsquo;s interesting about this graph that i keep seeing posted across socials is that my engagement suggests the opposite. i get most replies, etc.. on bluesky, most likes on threads and (when i used it more) had the least on twitter. i still feel like this isn&amp;rsquo;t fully accurate&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;rip. iOS 26 beta 3 is waaaaaaaay less transparent. It’s more readable, ik, but I loved beta 1 &amp;amp; 2 - beta 3 is just making them less clear. Even a slider to “choose your translucency” would be nice.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Walked for a few hours with my friend again! Unsure how accurate this is since it’s just reported by my iPhone but still… I miss you, Apple Watch 😢&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Saw this but still lost 2% after using the app to take one photo 😭&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;idkkk… the app is cool, but the photos still come out looking super plasticky when you zoom in (at least from what I’ve tried in multiple environments)&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>The Need for Portable Memory in LLMs</title>
      <link>https://posts.j4ck.xyz/2025/07/04/the-need-for-portable-memory.html</link>
      <pubDate>Fri, 04 Jul 2025 19:29:19 +0100</pubDate>
      
      <guid>http://jackk.micro.blog/2025/07/04/the-need-for-portable-memory.html</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve been thinking about this on and off since OpenAI released &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.theverge.com/news/646968/openai-chatgpt-long-term-memory-upgrade&#34;&gt;the improved memory in ChatGPT&lt;/a&gt;. I subscribed to ChatGPT plus for a few months during my exams, so it could help me with the more niche topics or sort my notes, etc., but the memory was actually very impressive. You could start a new chat and it&amp;rsquo;d have a very good recall of what you discussed previously. This is probably not that surprising. I have no clue how it actually works on a technical level; however, it’s probably not too difficult?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But this is a huge lock-in for LLM providers. It&amp;rsquo;s a very competitive market, and there are different factors pushing and pulling users between different platforms. Parker Ortolani also &lt;a href=&#34;https://parkerortolani.blog/2025/05/07/is-memory-going-to-become.html&#34;&gt;blogs about this&lt;/a&gt; and for me this issue is highlighted here:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have been attempting to use them in my daily life but ChatGPT’s extensive knowledge of me, my interests, my current life situation, and the projects that I have been working on with it have created a great deal of, you guessed it, friction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was surprised to see huge companies like OpenAI, Claude and Cursor (tons of others too!) using the open &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_Context_Protocol&#34;&gt;MCP&lt;/a&gt; spec to allow their models to access data from other places. This results in a much improved UX for pro users.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is sort of unrelated, but I think the openness of this protocol is quite impressive. It works well (we can clearly tell it does as it&amp;rsquo;s still heavily used in this fast-paced space) and yet allows people to use the latest models of their choice, whilst accessing the same information.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think memory could be like this. Unsure how it would work in a secure and encrypted manner, but it&amp;rsquo;d be really cool if there was some similar equivalent for memory. You could plug your saved memory into any given LLM and it&amp;rsquo;s got all your past context right there on the fly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The only issue is it&amp;rsquo;d probably be much more advanced for the average person sending ChatGPT a request - although I guess you could say the same for MCP.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This may come across as really dumb as I&amp;rsquo;m not sure how to do it, and I&amp;rsquo;m not sure if this is already being worked on or talked about, but I think it&amp;rsquo;ll be important. It&amp;rsquo;ll have to be easy to setup too, whilst also somehow working reliably. A secure, self-hostable way to bring in prior knowledge.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Seems like #Apple just joined Threads - I&amp;rsquo;ve seen that people in the US saw some ads for Apple Pay on it a few weeks ago, wonder if Apple is considering posting on Threads over Twitter 🤔&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;This is the best result after trying Night Mode on #ProjectIndigo (free app by Adobe - at least currently free.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Weird that some people say it’s got a great night mode.. I guess it works better on the Pro cameras due to the sensor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Looks pretty blurry!&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Trying out night mode for the first time (properly) on my iPhone 16!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Doesn’t work as well as the Pro models due to the lack of the sensor on the back, but it’s still kinda cool&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Unsurprising I suppose, but it’s a shame it doesn’t work with their Cloud models. I guess they can keep it free by keeping it to newer iPhones, though.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;My favourite app for journaling, #Journelly, just dropped a beta for markdown support 👀&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Useful for me! I don’t really understand ‘.org’, so this’ll help me personally!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You own your own files, so can bring between apps like Obsidian for free (&amp;amp; privately)!&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hmm - my #NintendoSwitch (2017 - first gen) just updated and now has GameShare??&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Was this meant to happen? I don’t remember Nintendo saying anything about this 👀&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;also for some reason MK8D and Zelda BoTW both just updated 🙃&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Looks like I just got access to Twitter’s new “XChat” (Chat) messaging feature.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A 4-digit PIN code is NOT reliable lmfao. I’m pretty sure twitter still have access to control this too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But it’s “bitcoin style encryption”, so I’m sure we’re good 👌&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Apple HAVE to be INSANE to let the 2020 SE run on iOS 19 😭&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I used that phone for years before I got my 16 and it was not good at all on iOS 18 💀&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Woah - cool new app that’s lets you use a #nintendo DS Clock as a widget or standby mode on an iPhone!&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.lux.camera/author/sebastiaan/&#34;&gt;Sebastiaan de With&lt;/a&gt; of Lux Camera, the team behind Halide wrote an interesting &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.lux.camera/physicality-the-new-age-of-ui/&#34;&gt;blog post&lt;/a&gt; of the history of iOS (early days, shift to iOS 7, nowadays) and compared it to visionOS. The designs are SO good! I really hope the upcoming iOS 26(?) will look like this!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&#34;https://jackk.micro.blog/uploads/2025/7c741077cb.jpg&#34; width=&#34;600&#34; height=&#34;151&#34; alt=&#34;A collage of close-up shots showcases user interface (UI) elements rendered in glass or a glass-like material, set against dark backgrounds.&amp;10;&amp;10;*   **Shot 1:** A circular app icon with a geometric design is featured. The icon appears to be made of transparent glass with subtle reflections and refractions on its surface.&amp;10;*   **Shot 2:** An abstract time display made of glass rods, with hands made of the same glass material.&amp;10;*   **Shot 3:** A translucent glass panel displays user interface controls, including icons representing people and multimedia controls (play/pause, star). The icons are minimalistic and rendered in glass.&amp;10;*   **Shot 4:** A UI for filtering photos by time. &amp;quot;Years&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Months&amp;quot; appear as filter options, with a blurred forest scene visible above and concrete texture below. All the buttons and UI elements are made of glass. The word &amp;quot;Gallery&amp;quot; is written on the concrete part.&amp;10;&amp;10;The consistent use of glass gives the UI a sleek, modern, minimalist aesthetic. The transparency and reflections add depth, creating a sophisticated look.&#34;&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Multitasking - studying whilst coming to check on this every 10m or so. Linux felt too slow, I think the drivers on it aren’t “efficient” (idk how to describe it, but they were up to date).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gonna run the anti bloat scripts after, but after this I give up switching OSs&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;wait, zen is actually sooo nice when you have zen mods enabled lmaoo&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;these are the ones I have on right now, gonna keep looking. iirc someone had one that makes websites appear transparent so they blend in with the browser&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;UPDATE, here&amp;rsquo;s the GitHub for that extension: &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/sameerasw/my-internet&#34;&gt;github.com/sameerasw&amp;hellip;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Apple has even more competition with 3rd party AI tools on the Mac and their own Apple &amp;ldquo;Intelligence&amp;rdquo; 👀&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sky is an AI-powered assistant that can perform actions and answer questions for any window and any app open on your Mac.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;more apps need to use custom app icons!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;look at this sideloaded twitter app I’ve installed (NeoFreeBird) — these app icons were real Twitter Blue ones in the US from 2021-2022&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;More apps need these, they’re beautiful 😢&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;no matter what people think of the ai music, i think google&amp;rsquo;s whole stage is pretty cool (even tho it&amp;rsquo;s not exactly &amp;ldquo;new&amp;rdquo;) and i LOVE how they actually do live events unlike Apple&amp;rsquo;s prerecorded ones.. although i can&amp;rsquo;t remember how much of this is pre-recorded vs a live demo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The sound effects are really fun! 🤣 (sounds a bit like Ivory/Tweetbit) + the interaction in-app is super useful :)&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I feel like there comes a point where you just can&amp;rsquo;t say this is a rhyme scheme anymore&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is literally just putting words that somehow rhyme together to try and make a &amp;ldquo;pattern&amp;rdquo; 😅&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The Pixel 9a seems pretty cool. Never used #android and don&amp;rsquo;t plan to switch anytime soon (haha just got the iPhone 16 months ago!) but this seems to be a good alternative for not just getting the Pixel 9 &amp;ndash; pretty much the same just without some AI features, and &lt;em&gt;slightly&lt;/em&gt; worise performance?&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Interesting popup on ChatGPT:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;GPT-4 will be sunset on April 30 and replaced by GPT-4o, our newer, more capable model. Try GPT-4o for writing, coding, STEM, and more—it’s intuitive, collaborative, and great at following instructions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m not exactly surprised they&amp;rsquo;re sunsetting it due to it being hidden in the UI, and being replaced by cheaper, more efficient models, but it&amp;rsquo;s interesting that a model that was so good 1 year ago is already going now :/&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not a surprise! the AI world moves fast haha&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It&amp;rsquo;ll be missed, even if always hated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How about they &amp;ldquo;streamline&amp;rdquo; Teams -&amp;gt; Skype instead of the other way around? I&amp;rsquo;m sure &lt;em&gt;everyone&lt;/em&gt; would have preferred that, ngl.&lt;/p&gt;

      <guid>http://jackk.micro.blog/2025/04/07/tapestry-connector-for-twitter.html</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Update: You can find the code for this on GitHub (feel free to fork!): &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/j4ckxyz/Twitter-Tapestry-Connector&#34;&gt;github.com/j4ckxyz/T&amp;hellip;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve been reading my news on &lt;a href=&#34;https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/tapestry-by-iconfactory/id6448078074&#34;&gt;Tapestry&lt;/a&gt; more for the past ~2 days since I&amp;rsquo;m off Bluesky for a bit (primarily used that to read haha) so I vibe coded (ye, not me) this little Tapestry Connector to use Nitter to show Tweets!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Currently just provides a nicer way to add Nitter RSS feeds, but not exactly sure how to get profile pictures of the accounts to show in the feed itself 🤔 but open for suggestions!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not sure if there&amp;rsquo;s meant to be some &amp;ldquo;official&amp;rdquo; way to share these connectors, but I&amp;rsquo;ll be sharing the code and latest release on GitHub. You can go to the &amp;ldquo;Releases&amp;rdquo; tab and install it into Tapestry. From there you can just add a new connector, type in the username, and it should just appear in your feed!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From testing on an active account (ok Elon being addicted to Twitter &lt;em&gt;can&lt;/em&gt; be useful apparently) it doesn&amp;rsquo;t seem to show ALL Tweets, nor does it seem to show as SOON as it&amp;rsquo;s been Tweeted, but it&amp;rsquo;s a good start for now, at least until someone smarter might make a better one.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;oh god. gonna be interesting to see how this plays out 😅&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;won’t be surprised to see more companies do this with what’s happening in America right now, but it should show some sort of mess for Trump :) (sorry for normal US citizens tho, this must be a really hard time :/ )&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Still not a big fan of the large “2” on the front of the logo, but the new game boxes are cool 😎&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;other than the fact that apparently the cartridges don’t even have the game on them, they only provide a “License” for the system to download :/&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Twitter/X will start selling inactive usernames&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just a reminder this can’t happen on any decentraslised social (atproto/Nostr etc) - you own your identity, handles and keys!&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;so, on top of $80 for Mario Kart, Nintendo is selling 2 separate versions of the Nintendo Switch 2 in Japan, a Japan-only one (region locked), and a worldwide one.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;this is so wrong 😭&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&#34;https://jackk.micro.blog/uploads/2025/screenshot-20250402-163828-1.png&#34; width=&#34;529&#34; height=&#34;600&#34; alt=&#34;A tweet includes an announcement about two versions of the Nintendo Switch 2 in Japan, with pricing details for a Japanese Language Only version and a Multi-language system.&#34;&gt;

&lt;img src=&#34;https://jackk.micro.blog/uploads/2025/8e7131a470.png&#34; width=&#34;276&#34; height=&#34;600&#34; alt=&#34;A screenshot of a Bluesky social media post shows a mock announcement for April Fools’ Day. At the top, user “jack” (@j4ck.xyz) asks, “is today Jerry’s day off?” Below that is a dark pop-up window with three humorous, generic responses to long posts:&amp;10;	•	“i ain’t reading all that”&amp;10;	•	“I’m happy for u tho”&amp;10;	•	“or sorry that happened”&amp;10;These mimic typical replies to overly long messages. At the bottom, a fake banner with a butterfly logo announces: “New character limit” with confetti emojis. It says Bluesky is limiting posts to 299 characters based on user feedback, adding, “For a limited time — just today ;)” with a blue “Got it!” button, clearly revealing it as an April Fools’ joke.&#34;&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;ok I managed to get it to boot into the iOS 9 installer (yay!) but it doesn’t activate. gonna try iOS 9.3.5 or else I’ll just do iOS 10. if that doesn’t work then they’ve done something to stop activating old versions of iOS 😭(separate issue from them not signing the IPSW).&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;not sure what it means by “Record not validated” (especially as I can view the video in the app), but cool that my first video on Spark is on a separate lexicon!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They did it right (imo) in that they have their own lexicon, but also use Bluesky’s just to show content!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;#atproto&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;gonna use this as a way to run local AI without freaking out my Mac (8GB of RAM is limiting for AI..)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;hopefully the fans aren&amp;rsquo;t &lt;em&gt;too&lt;/em&gt; loud 😅&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;uhhh Snapchat+ is a completely pointless subscription… also this idea of always being able to restore a streak feels completely pointless… defeats the whole purpose.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(Snapchat is going bankrupt lmao)&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;TikTok’s ban in the US might mean nothing if everyone moves to this new app… which is already trending #3 in the UK rn (top 3)!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although I reckon people are more likely to just post it yt shorts or Instagram&lt;/p&gt;
