Apple 2024:
> “We are concerned that there's a great history to photography and how people view photographic content as something they can rely on is indicative of reality. And our products, our phones are used a lot, and it's important to us that we help purvey accurate information, not fantasy.” –Craig Fed
Apple 2026:
> Mawmaw is a punk on a skateboard now! Look, we just invented a new part of your portrait! Booyeah!
So what changed? New slogan? Think Unethical!

Bluesky is in serious trouble.
The future of ATProto is compromised. The ecosystem of the #ATmosphere remains highly dependent on a startup company with no discernable path to profitability, questionable corporate leadership, a grumbling userbase which doesn’t seem to even *like* the parent corp, and declining activity.
Yup…it's time for another Bluesky vibe check.
(also, shoutout to #Mastodon for celebrating its 10th birthday this year! 🥳)

🧟 Dead Internet Theory.
⬜️ Digital Gray Goo.
🐷 The “sloppification” of the #OpenWeb.
It’s a major hazard, but I think we need to be careful not to overstate the issue.
While it’s possible this is now happening on an unprecedented scale and likely to get much worse, I just have to ask a simple question:
Who’s reading any of it? 🤨

Here's the one thing I can tell you which I believe is an undeniable fact: upcoming CEO John Ternus will do what is best for #Apple.
But he just might be able to convince developers & customers of the one thing Cook hasn't been able to for a long time: he's happy to meet you and he cares.
The following is my analysis—based on over 25 years of writing about Apple—of what I think are the most obvious areas of improvement under Ternus' upcoming leadership. By @npub15z3…0xrp

On the latest Vibe Coded #Podcast by @npub15z3…0xrp:
In a phrase I never expected to utter: I wholeheartedly endorse the upcoming Chinese regulations!
Yes, China is preparing to crack down on so-called "digital humans", requiring proper labeling as such as well as forbidding any deepfakes based on real people without their consent.
Many other restrictions are proposed as well, and I go through the details and explain how such regulations are sorely needed here in the U.S.

Slop-Free Software is So Hot Right Now
In this episode of Vibe Coded #Podcast, @npub15z3…0xrp covers the phenomenon of how #OpenSource software projects are either fending off or embracing the onslaught of agentic coding services, and the ways in which the technology is splitting the F/LOSS community asunder.
We just keep thinking, it didn't have to be this way. But here we are! 🤪

Technology will not save us.
Humanism will.
We must grapple with the fact that the early computer industry's dream of a techno-utopia is dead. Instead we’ve arrived at a dystopia and the rise of an evil ideology: techno-fascism.
To combat this, we must look to areas of independent human thought & culture beyond the white noise of tech talk. History, social sciences, philosophy, art, religion, and other traditions of creativity and care.
*To be free, we must resist.* ✊

After ten days of a simple poll where popular alternative search engine DuckDuckGo asked users if they want Yes AI or No AI, the results are in…and they sure don’t look good for the slop machine boosters out there. 😂
In an ordinary technology landscape, any software company not part of the most massive of Big Tech megacorps would look at an outcome like this and have a “come to Jesus” moment.
But alas, this is not an ordinary technology landscape…

Bandcamp read the room.
It is the hero we need in our hour of darkness.
Amidst an onslaught of horrendous slop pretending to be music (Spotify is rife with this garbage), #Bandcamp has come out with a new policy statement which is succinct, unequivocal, and rings like a clarion bell.
The TL;DR: **Slop is Banned.**
“Not permitted.” “Strictly prohibited.”
Truly, music to my ears!

According to @flathub stats for 2025, the marketshare of ARM-based #Linux didn't even crack 2%.
Do you think those low numbers might be due in part to so many people installing and running Linux on older hardware? Or is it because new Linux-compatible ARM hardware is hard to come by? Would love some insight on this!
(Also surprised more people aren't trying out Asahi Linux on Apple Silicon machines…it rocks!)

What the Hell is Going On with Framework’s Socials?
You’ve probably heard of the Framework & fascism(?) debacle by now. Yeah, not great. At least the top brass has been making an attempt to engage with their critics.
But what’s really gnawing at me is the fact that their social media team is *going nuts* on the former birdsite yet has all but abandoned Bluesky & Mastodon.
For real, I counted how many posts the company has made in the last 96 hours on all three sites… 👀

In a town hall meeting last week, a Microsoft employee spoke up and said the company had recently “felt markedly different, colder, more rigid, and lacking in the empathy we have come to value.”
Ya think?! 😂
Look, I once admired CEO Satya Nadella, but when I witness the steps Microsoft is taking to shoehorn “Copilot” into every nook and cranny of everything it produces…I see the actions of a company utterly bereft of quality leadership when it comes to design & UX.

“The whole computer industry wants to forget about the humanist side and just focus on the technology.” –Steve Jobs
The once #Apple CEO gave one of the most engaging & enlightening interviews of his career on Japanese TV in 2001, shortly after unveiling the Titanium PowerBook G4 and many media apps.
Yet finding an accurate and readable transcript of this interview, which often touched on topics of a personal and creative nature, has been all but impossible.
Until now.

As if the horror show of slop machines serving as "companions" for incel bros needing a girlfriend or teenagers stuck indoors for hours on end because helicopter parenting and society is weird like that, you can now worry about the text extruders coming for your grandma or your great-uncle.
Apparently the solution for the elderly suffering from acute loneliness due to neglect is to get them hooked on some tech company's substitute for genuine human interaction. 🫠

Look, I know it's a time-honored tradition for corporate CEOs to say things which mean absolutely nothing due to a desperate attempt to avoid conveying any real truths about anything.
But this might just take the cake.
Behold this unctuous tripe word-vomited out by Recruit Holdings & Indeed CEO Hisayuki “Deko” Idekoba in relation to laying off 1,300 employees in its HR technology segment. (Recruit Holdings is also the parent company of Glassdoor.)

Google Veo 3 Gives Good Demo, Withers Upon Further Scrutiny
😂
It’s the same story, repeated over and over and over again. The models get a little bit more advanced, a little less ridiculous looking. Superficial “at-a-glance” quality goes from terrible to decent over time.
Yet the details never come together. It’s slop. It’s banal, uninspired, and—this is key—only possible due to industrial-scale theft and other ethical shenanigans of the tallest order.

In what may be a mansplaining case study for the ages, the president of Signal Foundation (and notable AI ethics researcher), Meredith Whittaker, was recently on Bluesky reiterating Signal’s promise not to clutter up the beloved secure messaging app with unwanted & insecure AI nonsense; to which she received a series of Reply Guy replies that will truly make you question why we allow men on the Internet:

The macOS Safari way of installing standalone web apps based on *any* web page (also the Vivaldi way, which I use constantly) is undoubtedly the correct way.
I’m testing out iPadOS 26 right now, and yes it’s crashing regularly and glitchy in all sorts of ways. But that’s Developer Beta 1 life, baby. The functionality is definitely awesome, and I’m sure it’ll tighten up even more as we approach later public betas.

Hand Over the Cash, Apple!
The way Apple has been proven in a court of law to view App Store developers with such little regard is an absolute disgrace. If I were an iOS developer, I would be livid.
So what do I think about the fact there’s now a class action lawsuit against Apple which would force Apple to reimburse developers for its ill-gotten gains? I’m all for it.

Always a voice in the world of development & publishing worth paying attention to, @npub12kp…xvml sets his sights on the niche of design & UX where he wonders…um, where the design & UX went.
He muses on the fact he can’t recall any of the people he’s come across who post on Medium, because it all looks and feels the same.

It’s only a matter of time.
I have little confidence the “ATmosphere” will be a thriving ecosystem of millions of users and thousands of services spread across the globe with Bluesky playing only a modest role in the administration of the network.
I don’t see any incentives for this to happen, and the people who are out there promoting what is in reality vaporware may have good intentions but are ultimately doing true decentralized social networking (aka the Fediverse) a grave disservice.

You might hear in major publications reporting such as
“In time, the idea is that many communities will be built on Bluesky, some with their own infrastructure, moderation services, and even client applications”
and
“Eventually, the hope is that Bluesky will be one of many entities that run the infrastructure needed to support the growing number of applications built on the AT Protocol”
In other words, such decentralization is presently an article of faith, rather than a tangible reality.

2025-04-28 06:03:31 UTC

Bluesky has done a great job of advertising that because it's “decentralized”, that means it’s billionaire-proof.
That’s the marketing pitch. Don’t like what Bluesky is doing? You can take your business elsewhere—without losing your followers and your data.
The problem is, that promise has yet to be fulfilled in any way! Which service might a major influencer migrate to?
Such a service doesn’t exist, and I see no evidence any such service will spring up any time soon.

If I could go back in time to my 2005 self, I would say:
“Jared, you’re right about the importance of open content, open platforms, open communication, and open development—and thankfully a whole lotta people in the year 2025 still care deeply about those things!
“But unfortunately, you’re also very wrong. There’s no enlightenment. There’s no utopia. I hope the Jared of 2045 has good news for us, because things are not looking so hot right now when it comes to the future of civil society.”

2025-03-11 05:39:02 UTC

Well that aged poorly.
The good: “Web 2.0 is what the Web should have been all along before an out-of-control VC bubble screwed it up for a few years. The Web is all about open platforms, open communication, & open development.”
The bad: “The democratization of news & information isn’t something to fear, it’s something to embrace. The more people are required to sort the good stuff from the bad, the more they’ll gain the ability to deduce truth from fiction.”
Oof. 😬

Even though Character.AI may fall under the umbrella of “entertainment” and thus is less subject to critical scrutiny perhaps than the major general-purpose chatbot services like ChatGPT and Gemini, there is still reason to be vary of this potentially dangerous and ill-thought-out technology.

Framework is not Apple, nor does it pretend to be—and obviously Nirav Patel, CEO of Framework, is not trying to channel some sort of half-baked Jobsian impression.
But as I watched the Framework launch event earlier today, I was struck by how much I missed this adrenal rush of seeing a company really go for it and try industrial design that’s new and different—something with that intangible *aha!* factor.

Turns Out the “Killer App” of AI—Summarizing Things—Is, Um, Really Bad at Summarizing Things
The BBC conducted research where journalists asked some of the top AI chatbots to provide answers to questions related to timely topics which had been covered by BBC news stories, and the responses were—well let’s just say truth doesn’t really play a role here.
BBC News CEO Deborah Turness has this to say:

According to #Pixelfed founder & lead developer Daniel Supernault, a number of new & improved moderation features will be rolling out later this month for the open source #fediverse photosharing platform.
As is typical for any fast-growing social network—especially one with a distinct ActivityPub-powered visual flavor—users have been vocal about the need for advanced content moderation and the ability to enforce safety rules (contrasted with its commercial competition).

Chilling news out of the UK that #Apple is being pressured to provide backdoor government access to encrypted data stored in iCloud should be ringing the loudest of alarm bells for all who believe in the rights of digital freedom, security, and privacy.
Look, I’ve been plenty critical of Apple but I am 100% on their side with this. Unfortunately it sounds like their options are limited in the near term, unless they’re willing to play chicken with the UK’s legal system.

The #Mastodon -> #Fediverse -> #Linux pipeline is real. 😅
But there's more to it than that. Apple as a company, and especially as a corporation managed by CEO Timothy D. Cook, has forgotten its core values—values which drew me to Apple all the way back in 2001.

Shoutout to @HilliTech for his reporting on AppleInsider about the Gulf of Mexico and why Apple Maps won't be (and shouldn’t be!) renaming it.
“The Gulf of Mexico has been called as much for over 400 years. The name comes from Aztec origins since those were the people that resided in the region when the Americas were colonized.”
And we have global deliberative bodies like the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEN) to agree on shared maps:

Several exciting 25th anniversaries are coming up for fans of Mac OS X and those early days of the Jobsian Mac renaissance. One such anniversary is the unveiling 25 years ago of Aqua, the "lickable" 3D interface which would go on to revolutionize how user interfaces are created and rendered in modern operating systems.
As part of Aqua, the Dock was demonstrated—a combination taskbar & launcher which was based in part on the Dock in NeXTSTEP.

Top-Down vs. Bottom-Up in Social Network Decentralized Architecture
There’s been a truly fascinating back-and-forth technical conversation between Christine Lemmer-Webber, one of the authors of ActivityPub, and Bryan Newbold, a core engineer at Bluesky.

Did Mozilla Finally Get the Hint?
We had raked Mozilla over the coals for its shockingly poor marketing job on its sites. Not only was the messaging all over the place, it was challenging to find even a satisfactory mention of their core product—y’know, the one we all think of: Firefox.
Well…
It appears Mozilla had known they were falling down hard in this department and recently unveiled a completely redesigned Web site, branding, logo—the whole nine yards. Better?

We did it people.
We federated.
Or so we thought.
For you see, it's not enough to have just one “fediverse”. We must have more!
But seriously, there's a growing risk “fediverse” is devolving into a term without meaning, more “vibes” than anything technically descriptive. If true, perhaps it's time to find other ways of communicating with the public. Because if the “ATmosphere” is too “a fediverse”, then everything and nothing is.

Our in-depth review of the @npub19rt…adh9 web browser is here, featuring a conversation with @npub1duh…4el7 about its many customization features for power users and promoting the open social web.
We also delve into how Vivaldi approaches sensitive questions around open source and the commercial nature of their product, as well as how it fits into the Web browser marketplace. Will it appeal to enough of the right people?
Tested on macOS, Fedora GNOME Linux, iOS, and iPadOS.

The original Segway PT self-balancing scooter, codenamed "Ginger" and called simply "IT" online, was a very hyped product at the dawn of the millennium—fueled by reports that Steve Jobs himself had declared that in the future, “cities would be designed around the device” and the invention would prove to be “as significant as the personal computer.”
Well, here we are two decades later, and clearly none of that came to pass.
*Or did it?* 🤔

Ah, I remember 1998 like it was yesterday.
Windows 98!
Bondi Blue iMac!
The “Cuban Missile Crisis” 😏
You’ve Got Mail!
But we’re not here to reminisce. We’re here to consider why the so-called “AI Revolution” of today is not like the Internet Revolution of 26 years ago.

Could it be we’re about to see the first redesign of the Mac mini in a long time?
We’re mere days away from #Apple’s “October event” (if the rumors hold true) where the next generation of some portion of the #Mac lineup is typically announced. Some folks may be keen to hear about M4-powered MacBook Pros, iMacs, or updated USB-C peripherals. But far and away my most anticipated Mac product launch of the year is what will grab my attention—that is, a much mini-er mini.
