📡✨ Downfall

Perhaps it's not only Apple's software quality that suffers, but Adobe's and Microsoft's as well? I'm seeing neglected stuff in apps like Outlook, Excel, Acrobat Reader, very simple paper cuts that never get attention and never get a fix. Everyone is busy chasing the next big thing, apparently. And with AI, things won't improve; they might get worse, faster. 

📡✨ Questions

Why do I think that **Apple Journal** appears to be an app designed for testing new APIs at Apple? Additionally, why do all recent first-party apps look similar? Is Apple trying to simplify app design because... design is now a thing of the past and nobody really care, even at Apple?

📡✨ Forgetting

This morning, I happened to come across an article in my Craft documents that I had written about generative artificial intelligence but never published. As I reread it, I wondered if it was complete or if it was unfinished work. I went to check my website, and no, I had never published it. I made a note to rework and improve it, because I think it’s still relevant today.

I can say the same thing about Scribble.pages. I sometimes forget about its existence. 


Funny enough, this isn’t the first time I’ve forgotten things like that. I feel like a squirrel that forgets half the time where it buried its nuts.

🕖 Now — Updated Morning Routine

For the past few weeks, I have a new morning routine to take the pulse of what is happening in the field of the Internet and technology. I systematically check the following sites, in this order:

  1. Micro.blog timeline where Micro.blog, Bluesky and Mastodon users posts are converged in a single timeline.
  2. Digg (still in beta but still worth it because the community there is rather motivated to share great links)
  3. Hacker News
  4. Techmeme
  5. The Register
  6. Inoreader for the rest through a plethora of RSS feeds from news sites. 

The next step will be to ask ChatGPT agent to create a summary report of those news sources in a morning. I'm not sure if this is something that is possible, yet.

📡✨ Stupidity

These emerging AI bot companions are the product of a stupid motivation by Zuck and Musk: trying to keep humans disconnected from each other so they can hook them up with AI bots. 🤮 Think of this as "social network 3.0". This is beyond ridiculous, dangerous and should be prohibited.

Be creative
