I do not want my iPhone to be put together by American hands. If American-made cars are any indication, Americans are NOT GOOD at putting things together. I shouldn’t have to but I’d rather pay a premium than buying something assembled by an American. And this is coming from an American.

Lowkey jealous of folks who started programming as kids and/or had parents/grandparents who were engineers and taught them how to code at a young age.

I didn’t write a line of code until I was 19… in college. 😅

Steve Jobs had the ability to laser-focus on what he thought mattered and make whatever it was just incredible and un-touchable by any competitor… Tim, on the other hand, just chases whatever it is others are doing. https://mastodon.social/@markgurman/114553066836562267

Apple's documentation for a specific technology used to go HARD. Look how wonderful it used to be. This is for Core Animation. Precisely detailed. Beautifully and completely illustrated.

LOL They even went into matrix math! (Last time I did that was like in 2009 when I took Linear Algebra in college).

What happened? Why don't we get this anymore?

Excuse me… what? This might as well have come from The Onion. Putting all the AI stuff aside, this dude is wildly out of touch. Teachers went to teach, not to babysit your “mocoso.” (For lack of a better word.)

And if that’s the case, then we need to start paying educators the way people pay for childcare.

Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will still exist ‘because you still need childcare’

Every night. Right as I climb to bed and get comfy to watch an X-Files or two, she has to lay on me for a good 10-15 minutes… this entire unit of a cat. A whole ass 13 lbs. I guess I should enjoy cuddles with my baby but she suffocates me at the same time. 🥲 #CatsofMastodon

“My passion has been to build an enduring company where people were motivated to make great products. The products, not the profits, were the motivation. Sculley flipped these priorities to where the goal was to make money. It’s a subtle difference, but it ends up meaning everything.”

―Steve Jobs

Sad that this isn’t Tim Cook’s view for Apple…

It’s crazy that the scene with the Tyrannosaur and the river craft/boat from the book for the very first original Jurassic Park made it into the 7th installment of the movie franchise… insaaaaane. This would be hella scary.

Not sure if I could make an iPhone mini as my primary driver phone but I would love to have an iPhone mini as a travel phone along with a 12" MacBook with like an M2 or M3. That would be the ultimate travel duo. 🤩

Imagine a MacBook mini & iPhone 17 mini in Apple's product lineup?! 😮‍💨

The PlayStation 5’s little plastic feet is low key broke-behavior from Sony. Why the fuck this console have cheap-ass feet?

Also pressing the eject disc button pushes the whole console back because there isn’t enough grip on the bottom for the device to sit still.

I’m seeing some Americans post about how if the USA was allowed into #Eurovision, we’d always win.

1. Absolutely the fuck not. It’s not for us to participate in. Can we let other people just have something to themselves without us inserting ourselves uninvited? It wouldn’t be our decision to make either.

2. I would think (and hope) they’d always vote for any other country so we would become the new UK and always leave with 0 pts. They’d tank us on purpose because they wouldn’t want us there.
