soon we’ll be able to have your dating agent directly communicate with the other person’s dating agent so the AIs can figure everything out, it’ll really take the pressure off the whole process

if you're still dating manually in 2026 you're going to fall behind. there is absolutely no reason to waste time on romance, sex, partnership, etc when it could all be automated. think of all the effort and grief that could be saved. it's a huge burden lifted from humanity

There should be some kind of punishment for apps that use notifications for growth hacking.

i was completely off-guard for this one lmao

Introducing `steve`: a CLI for driving macOS apps. Like playwright for browsers it's drivable by code agents. Tell them to "manually test using steve". → github.com/mikker/steve

It might not have the UI polish of Photomator, but it’s even more powerful (and is a spiritual successor to Aperture): apps.apple.com/it/app/nitro...

Hej! 🇸🇪 We're partnering with Anthropic and Midday for a hackathon in Stockholm on February 6 from 2-8PM. Come tinker, meet other builders, and grab swag. Spots are limited. RSVP → luma.com/n5fkcunu 👾

good morning

No word on what’s happening with Photomator, which is how I’m currently organizing my photos. I’m gonna be pissed if they discontinue it.

It’s somewhat disappointing that Photomator did not make an appearance in Creator Studio. If Apple plans to integrate it into the Photos app I certainly hope they don’t get rid of any of its features in the name of ‘ease of use’. Photography seems to be a huge void in Creator Studio at the moment.

ok but seriously, where’s Aperture?

My entire career spent worrying about government-mandated color contrast requirements, only for Apple to ignore them and make everything illegible anyway with no consequence, really sums up how laws aren't real anymore or whatever

Choosing to just stay on Twitter in spite of *waves hands* everything is certainly a choice, but then auto-publishing your tweets to 11k followers on Bluesky only to never actually come here and engage with them, and instead joking about it with your Twitter friends, is a whole new level of fuck you

I’ve made an updated version of the Alt Text Generator shortcut that gives you the option to input details to correct the model if the accessibility alt text it generated on its first pass had inaccuracies. New download link here: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/0f5f0fed8e314533880d828039eb6216

If I react to the engagement bait, they win – so I… d’oh!

This AI was made with this post

HAHAHAHAHA dude this PR is so fucking LGTM, it makes me wanna merge without looking

The vibes are off (Cloudflare CEO’s corporate MAGAism), but they are right on the specific. Piracy Shield is a dangerous erosion of net neutrality and free speech principles, all just to protect Serie A (Italy’s premier football league).

this PR was created by Claude and got merged into open-slopware, making open-slopware eligible to be on its own list

it clearly needs to be repeated that layoffs are a leadership failure, full stop.

Cue the “AI is killing OSS” takes… I get the sentiment, but as much as we should push back the corporate rhetoric of “AI layoffs”, we should also refrain from using it as a scapegoat, to be consistent.

I wouldn’t go back to it, but it’s indeed a thing of beauty.

americans be like: imagine if our soulless mcmansions were adjacent to each other in the middle of a featureless golf course

Apple has completely lost the plot. Third party devs know far more than Apple’s in-house designers about Desktop design.

New blog post! A close look at Tahoe menu icons https://tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-icons/

claude code is fucking insane i know literally NOTHING about Hegel. ZERO. and it just built me a complete system of German idealism

we called it opencode code because you still gotta open the code and look at it

Posting in all lowercase from mobile is cringe.

It's fascinating to see the changes in one company's logo over the years.

this is a really good feed, much better than discover. i think it also runs on someone’s home computer, which is fun

It’s the last day of the year, so it’s a sort of #caturday, right? It’s my last chance to come out as a #catdad in 2025: Say hi to Theo!

Love that people are working on geo-based apps built on atproto. Plenty of cool possibilities here, and a reminder of why all sorts of new apps should be building on atproto to have instant identity and social layers.

2025 recapped

whoa 🤯

Ironically we undervalue our greatest superpowers exactly because they come so easily to us. So we don’t think it’s impressive, special, or interesting. But it is the fact that it’s so easy for us that makes them superpowers.

Are you ready to read 5,600 lines of c++ code ported to rust per hour? I have the perfect job for you: Do not despair, it is just 100 lines of code per minute.

we’re dead ?

If the EU actually cared about customer protection, they would prioritize making these kind of things illegal, rather than mandating browser selection screens.

We have reached the “begging us to come back” stage of X’s decline

If I hear the word “agentic” one more time, I swear…

It’s clear that folks in Apple Design teams haven’t read the older HIGs for macOS and have little to no historical knowledge of desktop computing. Designers and devs in 2025 LOVE to put a symbol to every single label in their UI it seems. 😒

Fonts are in the news, so I'm going to take the opportunity to port over an old thread: what was typography like in the Soviet Union? Spoiler: they did not just have 1 font everyone had to use. As a matter of fact, there were 39. One of them, you can see here, used to great effect for "Chernobyl."

More like 6-7G amirite?

Automatic transcription should be a mandatory feature in every messaging app.
