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!
Monday, April 7, 2025
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!
hehe testing POSSE (this is on my site, but should go across to my socials even whilst I’m on my break) :)
some photos from my walk earlier (~5k)

oh god. gonna be interesting to see how this plays out 😅
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 :/ )
Still not a big fan of the large “2” on the front of the logo, but the new game boxes are cool 😎
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 :/
Twitter/X will start selling inactive usernames
Just a reminder this can’t happen on any decentraslised social (atproto/Nostr etc) - you own your identity, handles and keys!
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.
this is so wrong 😭
WTH?? The new Mariokart game is $80!!
Def gonna wait to get it used.. if I even ever get a switch 2 lol
#Twitter breaking the bird is on BBC iPlayer now! So far seems like it’s a bit different to the US ones; it’s definitely shorter, 74m total.
nice one, Bluesky
gonna update my phone tonight! 👀
it’ll prob cause a bit of a drop in battery life for like 3 days, but oh well, I wanna try out the new features lmao
Apple is trying to catch up to the Studio Ghibli stuff lmao
wow! can’t believe chatgpt is growing this quickly 🤯
the stats might be a bit skewed, but idk??
we added one million users in the last hour.
when will we start seeing ‘find us on atproto ‘irl? lmao
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).
Gonna try use this tool called turdus merula to downgrade my iPhone SE (2016) to iOS 11 👀
reminder! you can use Bluesky on your #AppleWatch with the “Butterfly for Bluesky” app 😀
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!
They did it right (imo) in that they have their own lexicon, but also use Bluesky’s just to show content!
#atproto
got the TestFlight for #Spark!
current status: downloading low-parameter OS AI models to run on my old Dell PC (16GB of RAM and a quad core CPU, but crappy intel integrated graphics!)
gonna use this as a way to run local AI without freaking out my Mac (8GB of RAM is limiting for AI..)
hopefully the fans aren’t too loud 😅
hehe little beach we discovered whilst walking around the back of a different one 🐚🌊

miis with ears. this is SO cursed!
smfh. do we think he’s doing this because Twitter was constantly losing money?

i love how we (Twitter) is too great a force for Elon. he can do whatever tf he wants to Twitter but we’ll always be stronger than him
oops… getting in the way of the camera again!
#cats #photography
another thing Twitter would’ve never done
I don’t know if this is good or bad, and tbh I haven’t read the article, but the headline instantly made me think of iJustine’s video with signing all of those forms for the og iPhone 😭
wait, i need to check the pricing of this gemini 2.5 pro exp model, but if it’s free in the API it’s pretty cool that i have insta access lol. (pretty sure it’s still rolling out for the paid users on gemini’s site!)
imo, Bluesky’s selling of shirts for profit is a small start to showing how they’re going to be making money through ways that align with user choice. this is great.
oh nice! Delta has online multiplayer support in the TestFlight release! (coming next Monday — 31.3.2025)
