Signed this @change.org petition to #SavePhysicalGames. Feeling inspired after hearing @dark1x.bsky.social's coverage on @digitalfoundry.bsky.social#SavePhysicalGames Sony must course correct. We are moving too quickly towards an all digital future without careful consideration for implications around ownership.

@hilli.tech Please tell William Gallagher we need him over here on Bluesky.

@viticci.macstories.net Hi Federico. Huge fan of your work. I listen to your podcasts every week. Would you mind following me back? I have something I want to DM you about Siri AI and would love your thoughts on it. Hope you've been well.

In a nutshell.

Nothing says “dying civilization” like gladiator fights at the capitol for the emperor’s amusement.

I don't want to jinx it, but does #Apple's iOS 27 Developer Beta 1 seem unusually stable for an initial beta release? Remarkable.

@soapboxsoftware.bsky.social Curious. Would it be possible to add a 'crosslike' feature? I want to be able to tap 'like' on a crosspost, and have my respective Bluesky and Mastodon accounts like each post simultaneously. Apologies in advance if this already exists and I'm using the app wrong.

Brilliant! @news.abc.net.au is now on Bluesky. Instant follow.

I love this. As a secondary school Head of Department, I see this happening. Students are demanding authenticity. Flaws and all. They’re becoming exceptional at detecting slop. The imperfect will become the perfect.

#Farrer is a total seismic shift. One Nation winning its first lower house seat after 76 years of Coalition dominance is a massive warning to Labor. Make no mistake. This is a protest vote from the regions and fed-up youth who feel abandoned by the majors. We are entering a concerning era... #AusPol

ABC + @caseybriggs.com + by-election data = Saturday night sorted. Watching #Farrer closely tonight. It’s the canary in the coal mine for One Nation’s momentum. A win would be a historic first for them in the lower house, and a huge warning for the major parties. Let’s see what transpires. #AusPol

May the 4th be with you. Excited for a new #StarWars movie at the cinema this month!

@davemark.com I wonder if this ‘dark cherry’ is close enough to the rumoured ‘deep purple’ Jim’s been hoping for on an upcoming iPhone. www.macrumors.com/2026/04/20/i...

Saw #Hoppers today with the family. A great Pixar film. So many funny/heartwarming moments, and with an important message around respecting nature. Recommended!

@marcoarment.bsky.social Congrats on Overcast’s transcripts. Curious if you’re considering video. Can’t recall if you discussed on ATP. I’m enjoying switching between audio and video on Apple’s Podcasts app for shows like Primary Technology & MacBreak Weekly. So many tech podcasts have video now.

@stephenrobles.com Any plans for Mac Power Users to include video on the Apple Podcasts feed? Primary Technology has completely sold me on being able to quickly switch between video and audio. I need all my podcasts to be like this!

Billie’s great, but “Golden” was THE song of 2025.

@filmgirl.bsky.social Yes. Yes. Yes! So happy you’ll be joining the MacBreak Weekly crew. Incredible news. The premier Apple podcast is only going to get stronger.

This is haunting... It's the oldest piece of music for which we have both the words and the notes. A song to the Hurrian goddess Nikkal, it was written on clay tablets around 3500 years ago, and was discovered in the 1950s in the ruins of the ancient city of Ugarit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8tf...

A beautifully written letter. Australia’s arts sector should strive to be a meritocracy - not censored by lobbyists with deep pockets. #auspol www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

Spot-on analysis from @shelly.brisbin.net on the new MacBreak Weekly. Absolute mic drop moment. Loving her grounded focus on affordability and user experience. I hope @leolaporte.me has considered bringing her on board full-time to fill Alex’s spot. youtu.be/gldpOrhovP8?...

Is it just me, or has the third-party adoption rate of Apple’s Liquid Glass design been surprisingly slow? I expected more apps to have updated their UI by now. Maybe it’s just not going to happen.

New Podcast Episode: MacBreak Weekly: A Sad Farewell Into the Cupertino Mists with @leolaporte.me, @alexlindsay.bsky.social, @ihnatko.bsky.social, @snell.zone

@alexlindsay.bsky.social I’m conflicted. Elated for you, but also in mourning! You’ve been a regular voice in my life and a household name for fifteen years. Thank you. No more sugar water. Change the world! @leolaporte.me, @snell.zone & @ihnatko.bsky.social must be experiencing all the feelings.

“Trump-class battleships?” 🤣🤣 Trump’s narcissism reaches new heights of comedy.

@hilli.tech I just finished watching the movie “Crimson Tide” again. After hearing you talk on your podcast about serving, I would love to hear you review this film! I bet there’s so much to pick apart.

She’s done some work and served us well. Here’s to many more kilometres. Thank you Mazda.

I’m not sure the extent to which our social media ban for kids is functioning in Australia, but by goodness I hope our young ones aren’t seeing footage from Bondi. Just horrible. I feel completely sick.

Had a great night with @brisdram.bsky.social hearing @wmarybeard.bsky.social speak in Brisbane. She drove home for me how reflecting on the ancient world can help us make greater sense of the world we live in. She’s a treasure. Thank you, Mary. From an inspired Ancient History teacher right here.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

The legendary Kerry O'Brien was asked by @lintonbesser.bsky.social's Media Watch what he would have asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, had he interviewed him, rather than the sycophantic Sky News. These were his questions: #auspol

It’s surprising that Australia’s national broadcaster still isn’t on Bluesky. I rely on #ABC. Would love to see them join the platform.

@myke.social Your LinkedIn post on Leo Laporte & Twit.tv was great. Just heard David Smith on @Gruber.foo’s podcast say his website ‘PodSearch’ features transcripts of “all the best” Apple podcasts. Where’s MacBreak Weekly?! Sadly, the Apple podcast world feels like high school ‘cool group’ cliques.

@davemark.com Hi, Dave. Wondering if @jimdal1.bsky.social is Jim’s official Bluesky account. Was exciting to hear him say he was tweeting about Apple again, and although I don’t have an interest in joining back up to Twitter, hoping he might start posting here too. Loved the latest TDR ep as usual!

Hearing continual speculation on the ABC that the Liberals and Nationals might end their coalition and go separate ways. Is there any serious indication this might actually happen? #AusPol

Adam Bandt is in serious strife. With 64% of the vote counted, Labor’s Sara Witty leads by 2,899. Postal votes — likely to favour Liberals — would funnel even more preferences to Labor. Albanese might pull off the staggering: toppling two party leaders in one election

Yes, Australia! We’ve chosen hope, optimism, and fairness. Nailed it. Proud to see my electorate (Bonner) vote Labor in again after fifteen years. #AusPol

Some words from my political hero, Don Dunstan, ahead of tomorrow's Australian federal election. #democracysausage #auspol #ausvotes

The chickens are coming home to roost. Apple’s complacency, and neglect of the developer community are indefensible. Those who follow the company closely have been ringing alarm bells for years. Between the #Apple Intelligence fraud and their treatment of developers, it’s time for new leadership.

Disgusted by the booing during the Indigenous Welcome to Country at Melbourne’s ANZAC dawn service. Australia can be ugly at times. Can’t imagine what it must have felt like for Uncle Mark Brown.

How come Tim Cook gave a public apology for the #Apple Maps debacle, but hasn’t for Apple Intelligence? This has been far more egregious in my opinion.

@leolaporte.me @ihnatko.bsky.social @snell.zone Hello MacBreak Weekly legends! I wish I could tag Alex here. Could one of you show him this screenshot from Disney’s new “Light and Magic” Season 2 trailer? Could we be looking at a photo of Alex’s Mac from when he worked on Padme’s ship in Star Wars?
