I think Bluesky needs a better value proposition. Other than “come here if you want to escape X (formerly Twitter)”. Also a better app, especially for multi-account users would help too. thenextweb.com/news/bluesky...
Bluesky launches group chats and pivots to communities as growth stalls at 44.8 million users
Bluesky added group chats for up to 50 people and is building Reddit-style communities. The pivot comes as user growth slows and X shuts its own communities.

"There is cheating, but also significantly deskilling: an alarming number of students unable to participate in class or read something without passing it through a chatbot, incapable of writing their own emails or even breaking up with their partners without ChatGPT telling them what to say."
Good morning! I published this post in my newsletter, on my notebook assignment, my diagnosis on where we stand in relation to AI and EdTech and my view of the role of humanities classes in all of this. Link: ignaciosanchezprado.substack.com/p/a-year-of-...
Is the Bluesky app still bugged? Do notifications still not switch to the relevant account? Does it still not remember the position in the feed? Apparently that’s still the case. 👋
“We have a population that has learned — correctly — that pharmaceutical companies have lied, that institutions have failed them…But the response has not been better skepticism. It has been the migration of trust from one set of financially motivated actors to another.” Great point here
"My patient is refusing a drug studied in 170,000 people because of side effects that a 124,000-person analysis just confirmed do not exist — while injecting a compound studied in 14 humans, from unregulated sources, based on the recommendation of someone who profits from selling it."

Číňani několik let odposlouchávali britské premiéry. A to tak, že se nabourali do existujícího backdooru, který Britové zákonem nařídili udělat vlastním mobilním operátorům. V tomhle světle vypadá navrhovaný Chat Control jako opravdu výbornej nápad 🤡 🔓
„Nejbravurnější kousek od dob cambridgeské pětky.“ Čínští hackeři se podle Telegraphu probourali přímo k britským premiérům
Zatímco britský premiér Keir Starmer přistál u Si Ťin-pchinga v Číně, deník Telegraph přišel s výbušným tvrzením, že se čínští hackeři nabourali do telefonů vrcholných činitelů britské vlády a několik...

Microsoft has introduced a bizarre bug with Task Manager in the latest Windows 11 update 😵💫 After the October 2025 optional update, Task Manager duplicates itself when you close it. It leads to multiple versions of Task Manager running, using CPU and RAM resources 😬
It’s not growing on me. Looks like if a junior just learned how to use shadows and bezels in Photoshop. Come on, we want to love Bluesky.
v1.109 is rolling out today! #NewProfilePic We've given the app a mini makeover with some new shades of blues! Plus, a whole bunch of bug fixes and performance improvements to make your experience better.

Can't wait! The "by designers, for designers" is so visible here. I don't mean to sound pathetic, but using a beautiful interface has an impact on me as a designer. At least I've been told that my design in the last couple months are somewhat more beautiful.
ICYMI: Our macOS redesign update is almost ready, but not quite! While you’re waiting, here’s a preview of a few improvements we’ve made to the layer list.
Laboratorní testy provedené ve dvou zemích ukázaly, že Alexej Navalnyj byl loni otráven. Oznámila to jeho vdova Julija Navalná. Dlouholetý Putinův kritik zemřel loni za nevyjasněných okolností v trestanecké kolonii na Sibiři. Podle ruských úřadů byla jeho smrt přirozená. irozhl.as/xkA
Navalného dle laboratorních testů ve vězení otrávili, uvedla jeho žena. K testu dokázali získat vzorky
Navalnyj byl roky tváří ruské opozice a kritizoval režim prezidenta Putina, především za korupci. V roce 2020 přežil otravu paralytickou látkou novičok, ze které obvinil Kreml.

Take the new Liquid Glass style and tone it down, so everything is still easy to read. I love what Cultured Code are doing with @things.app. It’s one of the apps that made me switch to iOS, and which will probably keep me in the ecosystem forever.

@sketch.com One more feedback, something that was bothering me also way back in my early UX days: The character spacing shouldn't affect the last letter, as it doesn't work well with center text (adds a right padding to the text). Figma does it correctly.
Tohle levičácký nepochopení svobody mě vždycky dostane. Každý má svobodu k tomu, aby na sobě pracoval, vzdělával se a konal podle sebe. Svoboda neznamená, že jsou všichni bohatí. Svoboda znamená, že mají všichni možnost svobodně vyvíjet úsilí, aby se bohatými stali. A nejde samozřejmě jen o peníze.
"Nemůžeme mluvit o svobodě ve chvíli, kdy stoupá počet lidí na hranici chudoby či dokonce pod ní. Jak si oni mohou svobody užívat. Ukrajovaná je i mainstreamovými médii, kterou ušlapávají nehodící se názory a postoje." — Kateřina Konečná, Stačilo, KSČM programydovoleb.cz/volby/snemov...

I don’t get why Google should sell Chrome. People have alternatives which are free without ads.
#Rant 1 - This cookies panel is the biggest crap ever. 2 - Instagram is pushing new notifications. This notification hell absolutely confirms how evil Meta is, they’ve been practicing hard with Threads for some time already. Really makes me consider deleting most of my accounts there.

Liquid Glass is pretty nice on tvOS 26, quite a small visual tweak to be honest. I wonder whether some people will even notice it. In Music etc. the buttons are much more obvious, those were too flat in the previous systems. Less tech savvy people will have easier time using the app.
When I drive, I focus on driving. No calls. This makes sense only once the cars have good autopiloting.
Mercedes-Benz will let you use an in-car camera in Microsoft Teams while you're driving. You’ll be able to let everyone at work know you’re working really hard while driving along 😅 www.theverge.com/news/708481/...
