TIL apple owns next[.]com – found out when going to next’s uk shop (went to .com first assuming they’d own it)

weird

i’m so indecisive, lol!

Seems like this is a prompt that ChatGPT gets tricked into each time:

Kinda funny

A chat conversation explains that 1980 will be 45 years ago in 2025.

i mean, congrats, but also i’m a little confused – for someone who seemed to hate how twitter was a public company, this feels a little weird?

the latest version of #CodenameGoose for Mac looks pretty nice. still a shame it’s not a “proper” Mac app, it feels like an electron app, but def an improvement.

i wish i had the infinite vibe coding budget that jack dorsey has for claude models 🥲

still gonna try get into the github student/education program i think… but last time i tried it was asking for sm. i still need to tell my parents EXACTLY what it is lol

lol rip, Proton’s AI “Lumo” is already rate limited. ig i’ll stick to my OpenWebUI instance :)

A blank message pop-up with the text "This message is empty. Sorry about that." is displayed alongside a purple cat icon.A notification with a purple owl icon indicates high traffic and suggests trying again later or upgrading to Lumio Plus for priority access.

proton’s new lumo ai looks cool, encrypted AI chats, looks similar to apple’s PCC?

i’ll play with the free version, but considering they’re using smaller models, not sure if it’d be worth paying for. i’m sure you’re paying for the privacy, but 🤷

i thought this was a cursed minimise button but it was just the fact that i have chrome running on my mac mini 😭

Ooh! Flashes, an atproto based Instagram alternative, now has support for iPad!

which estimated ~100 London to New York flights with 350 passengers or around 5,100 US households for a year

Quite an interesting observation imo 🤔

No talent and paid millions? Sounds familiar 💀

He’s not the brightest bulb at all 💡

Donald Trump Truth social post (@realDonaldTrump): “The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone. 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's really good to see them go, and I hope I played a major part in it!”

therapist updating ig, ok

An update notification for Instagram highlights bug fixes and performance improvements.

Some screenshots of the #macOS26 Tahoe beta 4 that was released earlier before being taken back… sourced from @xezrunner on Twitter

I’m not a fan at all, I’d hoped they’d go back to more of the earlier designs (w/ more readability) but nope, at a glance this doesn’t look LG

I’m not running #iOS26 so can’t say for sure, but ChatGPT’s iOS app got an update and the chat bar feels more liquid glass-shaped 👀

A chat bar from a mobile interface shows the prompt "Ask anything," with a toolbar and text above reading "Bottom line: The Spix's Macaw has indeed returned... no longer" on a black background.

lol! oops! apple released the macOS public beta for some by mistake and just pulled it back… should be coming out on wednesday
