vincent please don’t gogh

Print edition @theonion.com ads don’t miss

YES

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms). It’s also concerning. 1/

a high armhole allows for freer and more comfortable movement

A little proof of concept I've been working on, it's a version of Bluesky that you can run locally, even on your laptop, that pulls just the data you care about from the firehose, indexes it, and provides you an interface to view and interact with posts.

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

I can’t wait for @t3.gg browser video.

If they had an actual all day battery in this, my god I'd buy it instantly.

This iPhone 17 Air has the best, most beautiful and awesome battery, it will last you all day! — Unrelated but we also designed this cool battery pack to go with it 💀 #Apple

Until now, if you lost or broke your phone, your Signal message history was *gone,* a real challenge for everyone whose most important conversations happen in Signal. So, with careful design and development, we’re rolling out opt-in secure backups. signal.org/blog/introducing-secure-backups

Hey @dansup.bsky.social! I love the iOS app of Pixelfed it became super snappy! One detail though is the black bar at the bottom of posts. Light color photos it looks like a bad crop, dark photos it cannot be seen and it is absent when carousel dots are present. Wouldn’t it be cleaner with no line?

Please, my cat, he very sick.

*Comments turned off* 🙃

I remember when buying domain names was cheap and fun. 🥲

I found the most cursed sculpture in Seoul

Here we go, it started. Can we put some sort of tariffs on UK imports of this kind?

Wait, blood Oxygen for Apple Watch is back?

Could we stop putting LLMs in every single device under the sun and focus on stuff like that instead.

Cleaning after a bite. Perfection.

Tested out some AI design tools, and wow, now I can make rectangles with rounded corners slower AND make Arizona water disappear at the same time.

It is nice to have a computer with some whimsy again. I've ported the esheep app from the 90s to run as a native app on macOS github.com/orta/esheep-...

My life is complete. The excellent @404media.co that I immensely respect used my photo :) www.404media.co/this-company...

@techlore.tech you weren’t sure in your video what LLM @asklumo.proton.me is using. Per their website: “Nemo, OpenHands 32B, OLMO 2 32B, and Mistral Small 3”. proton.me/support/lumo...

We've noticed you ignored the AI blurb at the top of the page. You will now have nowhere to go.

That’s nice, but it will not make up for liquid glass…

- Under promise, over deliver. - You got it boss

I’ve seen Devin AI work. I have to say I’m happy to not be a junior dev.

Happy to report that switching from iOS 26 back to iOS 18.5 actually feels like an upgrade.

@foodnoms.com any consideration for a lifetime subscription?

Thank god

SilicĀnimus v0.0

Watching them slowly recreating Arc with an AI inside.

Lifesum buried privacy settings deep in their menu with everything on by default. I uninstalled and cancelled my subscription. Went instead with @foodnoms.com that looks great and doesn’t sell my data. Which used to be the norm when paying a subscription….

This video made me order a Raspberry Pi 5 to create an Abominable Intelligence Assistant. It looks like Home Assistant might be the easiest route to go with. Hoping to get it to hold conversations, send notification, recognize people/objects, control stuff in the house 🤞 Amazing video!

I lifted a rock on my walk today, and the F1 movie trailer started playing out loud. Crazy times.

Hehe

They call it liquid glass because of how your melted battery feels after a few minutes of use. All wiggly and playful.

Man… Fujifilm is really killing it!

All designers raging about accessibility, when Apple releases an unreadable translucent UI that would get trashed on Behance.

Airport lounges: I think what people crave while traveling is two songs playing simultaneously on bad speakers and a TV always on.

@zen-browser.app new user here 👋 it looks like Zen is using way more resources than Brave on MacOS. Does that sound normal or is there something I should change in my settings?

@davidimel.com I'm curious to hear your thoughts about Arc/Dia move. I just saw the Waveform Podcast but there was one burning question in my head. I see the company's vision, however it doesn't answer what is their offer vs Google having Gemini in Chrome, with a massive team and unlimited money.

The YouTube algorithm is a well oiled machine damn.

Really crossing my fingers for iOS 26, because the Android 16 preview makes iOS feel really outdated and boring.

Is this bad? I feel like this is bad.
