The Google Earth Team: We’re continuing to make Google Earth on web and mobile (Android | iOS) the best place for people to get helpful geospatial insights. While you can continue using the legacy Google Earth Pro desktop app, it will no longer be available for new downloads beginning on June 25, 2027. We encourage […]

Posted on Twitter in the middle of last night, written on iPad. I use twitter these days because it’s where the people are. The distributed ideas, masto, threads, blue-sky, did not gain critical mass as far as I can see. Threads and blue-sky are not distributed. distributab...

Elsewhere: "Threads and Bluesky are not distributed. Distributable is not the same as being distributed. It’s like saying the Mets were able to win the World Series in 1962. In some fashion perhaps in an alternate universe, in reality, not gonna happen."

It's a lot simpler and faster to install new instance of rss.chat. You don't have to create and host your own database, that's now built into the server using SQLite. Full instructions on how to install. If you have questions or issues, we've started a thread on the repo. More about this to come.

Reminder: We have a server for anyone who wants to try RSS.chat.

Google’s Nick Fox on, for some reason, LinkedIn: People also asked if AI in Search would mean that people never click through to websites anymore. Actually, as we’ve shared before, we continue to send billions of clicks to the web every day through Search. And we’ve designed our AI features in Search to connect people […]⌥ Permalink

Joe Rossignol, MacRumors: Apple and Klarna are partnering on a new “Apple Upgrade” program set to launch in the U.S. on Tuesday, July 28, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The program will allow you to finance most iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch models, with a 24-month term for iPhones and Apple Watches and a […]⌥ Permalink

What the EC is dictating to Google is just breathtaking in scope.

When you need a good album to cook to, I highly recommend Dusty in Memphis.

Malcolm Crawford (Mastodon): The open-plan floors make it hard to concentrate. The building is so large that getting from one meeting to the next eats real time out of the day. It’s common for people to run meetings with colleagues over Webex — colleagues on the same campus, sometimes no more than two hundred yards […]

Aleem Shaun: I’ve used Day One for more than a decade. It was an excellent journalling app. Private, minimal, easy to use, with excellent features such as geolocation, weather, ‘On this Day’, and book printing. Features that got out of the way and either worked quietly in the background or appeared only when you summoned […]

Chance Miller: Here are the new monthly prices for Apple Music and Apple One as of today: Apple Music Individual: $11.99 (up from $10.99) Family: $19.99 (up from $16.99) Student: $6.99 (up from $5.99) Apple One Individual: $19.95 (unchanged) Family: $27.95 (up from $25.95) Premier: $39.95 (up from $37.95) The price increases for Apple Music […]

John Gruber (Mastodon, 2): Some of [Cook’s letter] remains true, but has lost some truthiness — and truthiness matters. But some of it is no longer true, period. It’s no longer just “one small part” of Apple’s business that serves advertisers. Here in 2026, search results in the App Store not only show paid ads — frequently for casinos — but […]

Jared Sorge: I know there are options out there like Paddle, FastSpring, and Lemon Squeezy that have worked for many apps like mine over the years. But I also wanted something simple for my users. Not to mention Apple Pay was a must-have. I believe all the services he mentions do support Apple Pay. RevenueCat […]

Bruno Brito (release notes): In Tower 15, we introduced the “Fully Merged” badge and Automatic Branch Management to help you keep your repository tidy. With Tower 17, we’re taking the detection behind that badge to a whole new level. […] Tower now matches your local branches against merged pull requests from your hosting service, such […]

Federico Viticci (Mastodon): The AI frontier from the two big labs (and – we have to be honest with the numbers here – probably SpaceXAI and Meta now, too) is in a completely different league at the moment. I spent my first couple of weeks with Siri AI trying to convince myself that I could […]

Wade Tregaskis: In short: if you have any file in your app (or whatever it is you’re trying to get Apple to sign) that is over 4 GiB, you must use a disk image (DMG) to package it for notarytool, not a zip file. This is because support for files larger than 4 GiB requires […]
