just importing my (personal) insta account to my micro.blog to have all my images on my site and came across this photo from when we went to #Bristol ~2 yrs ago!

A suspension bridge spans over a river gorge under a bright sun with a clear sky.

The Pixel 9a seems pretty cool. Never used #android and don’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 – pretty much the same just without some AI features, and slightly worise performance?

A smartphone with a light blue color is displayed from three angles: back, side, and front, showing its camera, buttons, and screen.

went for a walk with my friend again, was fun 👌 better than studying haha

Interesting popup on ChatGPT:

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.

I’m not exactly surprised they’re sunsetting it due to it being hidden in the UI, and being replaced by cheaper, more efficient models, but it’s interesting that a model that was so good 1 year ago is already going now :/

Not a surprise! the AI world moves fast haha

A notification about the sunsetting of GPT-4 is displayed, mentioning its replacement by GPT-4.0.

Apple EarPods acquired 😎

idk why i like the wired earbuds look lmao (I’ll still prob use AirPods with my phone, this is more for laptop).

A person is holding a box of Apple EarPods with the headphone plug.

Just got this email from Microsoft about the shutting down of Skype :(

It’ll be missed, even if always hated.

How about they “streamline” Teams -> Skype instead of the other way around? I’m sure everyone would have preferred that, ngl.

Tapestry Connector for Twitter!

Update: You can find the code for this on GitHub (feel free to fork!): github.com/j4ckxyz/T…

I’ve been reading my news on Tapestry more for the past ~2 days since I’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!

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!

Not sure if there’s meant to be some “official” way to share these connectors, but I’ll be sharing the code and latest release on GitHub. You can go to the “Releases” 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!

From testing on an active account (ok Elon being addicted to Twitter can be useful apparently) it doesn’t seem to show ALL Tweets, nor does it seem to show as SOON as it’s been Tweeted, but it’s a good start for now, at least until someone smarter might make a better one.

Screenshot of the Tapestry application running on macOS showing a “Twitter” feed with Tweets from my account (@jglypt), LibertyBus, Aridan, and others.

hehe testing POSSE (this is on my site, but should go across to my socials even whilst I’m on my break) :)
