"... Apple can address this by somehow making it more clear which notifications are AI-generated summaries. Like, perhaps instead of their “↪︎” glyph, they could use the 🤪 emoji."

It's 2025, @instapaper on android still doesn't support themed icons.

New bluesky followers. Is it a Musk bump or a Zuck jump?

Whoa the switch 2 is starting to take shape as the leaks keep coming. This must be killing Nintendo, given how much they are likely trying to build inventory before announcing.

Inspired by @robb@social.@lol 's excellent collection of the default apps. Published my own - https://gurupanguji.com/2024/12/24/default-apps-for-2024/

Arcane was not only a fantastic series, its OST is incredibly catchy and is running the repeats up for 2024.

Where @caseynewton.bsky.social highlights that “compliance” doesn’t always mean that fraud is being rooted out. UK is seeing a version of this after they are forcing more onus on the banks to verify if something isn’t fraud.

> OpenAI’s offices, where employees hunch over computers during AI training runs that can last weeks or months

Still pervading the stereotype of software developers being basement nerds, I see.

Not news, but Google continues to muck up its iOS strategy. Someone trying to use Gemini in more ways because I can justify paying for Google One. However Gemini on iOS doesn’t support shortcuts and I cannot make it easy to use in share sheets / actions.

It's almost 2025 and I continue to be shocked that we don't have an app like "Shortcuts" available for Android.

@rmondello.com 's point is important. Make passkeys default if you believe in it. Corp logins, where security matters even more, can take lead here to aid and encourage consumer change.

Congrats @mike@flipboard.com on announcing Surf. Excited to check it out.

My favorite wrapped for 2024. First year I religiously tracked my food intake as a part of improving health.

Weight on Dec 26, 2023: 186lbs

Weight on Dec 18. 2024: 126lbs

Lost 60lbs and have a better understanding of protein as a vegetarian (protein shakes are magic). Thanks @foodnoms.com

I will never understand why Google will not time the releases between iOS and Android and often release things to 100% on iOS sooner.

TIL nixOS and probably the end game for setting up a new computer to everything just the way I want it. 🫣

Hopefully I get some time over the holidays to set this up and test it out. 🤞
