Hey We had a long night and just woke up don't spoil it for Us

🔴 Watching WW keynote, SOTU, & sessions now! Prepare for more-spammy posts

The last time macOS got a redesign, bunches of people were upset because they thought Apple was trying to make Mac more like iPad.
that was back when they only had Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

This will be the first time they give the same redesign to all their current platforms all at once… can’t wait to see if folks still have the same complaint lol

Fucking finally 😭😭😭

Oh this is gonna be so silly

Oh 👀

ChatGPT in Apple's image generator, and an API for any app to use the generator...

I am currently at the point where they're announcing the phone app on Mac… If they don’t also announce that the next Mac laptops are getting their cellular chip that they launched earlier this year… What the fuck are they even doing?

‼️ big news for the iPad Files app!!

Okay this is really fucking cool...

I'm gonna have a lot of fun with this

Oh shit they actually let you use any LLM in Xcode 26 👀

What really gets me about some recent exposures like this is the level of developer involvement that has to come with them.

I used to work at FB over a decade ago. While the *company* made questionable choices, I feel like everyone I worked with would have absolutely balked at being told to track people using the dirtiest tricks they could find. Engineers generally set their own goals within the framework of a team.

This isn't "Oh, we were neglectful in not filtering false posts" or "Our algorithms ruined the world by making people utterly incapable of focusing" or anything else that can at all be explained by negligence rather than intent. This is just pure evil by a handful of my former colleagues
