At this point LLMs are like sex. Seeing it everywhere without explicit consent of users makes me feel super gross like I'm supposed to be into something I don't want or need because it makes people feel special without thinking they need to earn any trust.

But then in extremely specific contexts, I'm like well this is just the bees knees. ๐Ÿ๐Ÿฆฟ

I do this all the time with podcasts and Apple News audio stories. I would disable media scrubbing from the Lock Screen so fast if that was an option.

There are people who swear to me they haven't noticed Twitter's quality deteriorate since Musk took over but for the last few weeks any time I'm linked to a post it opens like this, and if I background the app 4/5 times it just disappears. Do people just not notice things like this or is it cope?

@mergesort even when itโ€™s working โ€œproperlyโ€, the UI design is bad.

That thing where you needed to scan some tax documents that came via mail, the old scanning app you used didn't work anymore, the ones in the App Store all seemed annoying and scammy, and 6 hours later you are no more ready to file your taxes than you were this morning, but you do have your own scanning app that does just what you want it to do.

Does anyone use DropBox Paper for team collaboration and whatnot? (Or something like it?)

@bigzaphod Microsoft Loop has worked well so far. I donโ€™t get to make purchasing decisions, so had to use what was available to me. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ Notion definitely offers more features but would have been overkill for what we needed anyway.

My resolution is to start using the action button on my iPhone more. Going to take the time and make a shortcut that opens different apps depending on my focus mode.

12/26-1/1 is underrated. Everything up through 12/25 is a stressful mess, and that first week of January is always a bummer. But this little window lets you enjoy those pain in the ass decorations, not have any major family commitments, and you get to say โ€œHappy New Yearโ€ which is a real crowd pleaser

@YourPalMichael@me.dm avatar

@joesteel getting to say โ€œsee you next yearโ€ is the reason for the season

The next time I offer to go to Brandon Town Center to pick something up I want whoever is closest to me to roundhouse kick me.

Thank you.

@joesteel my version of that request also extends across the road to Regency Square.

We just want to say thank you so much to MacStories and their readers/members who provided such an honorable award. It definitely came as a shock! Also thanks to all of our customers who stuck with us through this tough year. We have a lot of great things coming up in the pipeline and wanted to share a quick teaser image of what's coming soon.

We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Photo of an iPhone showing a preview of the upcoming Explore tab coming soon to Ivory.

@ivory Congrats! Tapbots apps have helped me over many years to stay connected with the things I care about. Thank you for sticking to that work and doing it so fantastically! ๐Ÿ˜

Moving into a new home Dec 1 โ€” which means some new purchases for us: we finally bought our dream rug and... a robot vacuum?

I remain deeply skeptical, but convinced by @snazzyq's gift guide which showcased a high-end Roborock one without a camera on board. We're gonna give it a shot. Maybe our baby can ride it like some sort of mini-car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQpANfiaU-s

@sdw my partner and I agree the self-emptying Shark she bought last year is the best purchase either of us has made our entire lives
