This was NOT on my bingo card for what I expected to be in our next game: an audio clip of me singing like a pirate

NEVER

Swapped coffee with @strasser.bsky.social, made my first cup of C•Sol and this morning, it’s delicious!

Now drinking my first ever cup from home roasted beans from @pbobak.bsky.social, tastes amazing too!

Thanks coffee buddies 🫶

My current library (not including already frozen beans!)

Bags of coffee from Neighbourhood in Liverpool, Kapow in Leeds, C-Sol in Austria, Square Mile in London, St Martins in Leicester, and a sample of hand roasted beans in a tin.

Just got back from @swiftleeds.co.uk, it was fantastic! My first non-game conference, and my first small conference - it had a great, friendly, welcoming vibe. GDC is always fun but it’s also MASSIVE and by comparison impersonal and super commercial.

Leeds is a beautiful and vibrant town!

A beautiful arcade in Leeds (arcade as jn “indoor street” not as in “video games”)

I look forward to being replaced with the new and improved model!

My younger son holding up a drawing with “I want to be a game developer when I grow up” with a drawing of Mario.

No idea where he gets these silly juvenile ideas.

The thing about this is, is this is how born-rich people *already* do it - whether it's making art, or starting a business, or whatever they successfully do. They already know it works.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Incredible work chaps 💪 💪 💪

(I can’t imagine ever trusting such a small model for actual writing suggestions though!)

I shocked myself by using it for the first time the other day! I used it for some simple but otherwise laborious text formatting and layout in Apple Notes and it actually worked well.

Joseph Humfrey @joe.inkle.co · 9d

I'd love to be able to piggy back off the Notes database to create an app for something with a more tailored UX but that at its core is human-readable text and media.

Either way, it would be possible to fallback to a default presentation if you uninstall the app or extension.

Joseph Humfrey @joe.inkle.co · 9d

For example, imagine the ability add basic formulas to tables to sum up columns, or an extension to run mini inline python/JavaScript scripts to make a mini Jupyter Notebook.

Joseph Humfrey @joe.inkle.co · 9d

I wish Apple would make it possible to make extensions and add API access for the Notes app.

It would make it possible to create functionality like Math Notes without necessarily needing to make the core Notes functionality any more complicated than it needs to be.

@strasser.bsky.social you up for a coffee swap at Swift Leeds? I can bring a bag from my excellent local roaster 😀

Spatial scenes on iOS 26 are super impressive in general and have been near perfect in my experience. Great fun on a lock screen!

So I was curious to see how it would interpret a full frame photo of a painting. Valiant attempt but not great 😅

Joseph Humfrey @joe.inkle.co · 20d

This is insanely impressive. Unfortunately the camera and battery are dealbreakers for me, but the Air seems amazing.
