Remember before the Vision Pro was released there were rumours about using Siri to develop apps for VisionOS. Given how well generative AI can be at programming and all the chatter about Apple’s AI efforts this year, I wonder if we’ll see something around that at this year’s #WWDC. 05-05

Looking forward to the time when I have to explain to my in-laws that in order to install that app that they want on their iPhone they’ll have to download and sign up for the Facebook App Store, oh, but not that Facebook App Store, that’s a fake one. But this is all good and better because it’s more open now and you have more choice. Yes, you’ll have to give your credit card information to the Facebook App Store before you can download that free app. 01-26

Some things I think Apple’s new Journal app needs: macOS and iPadOS support - the iPhone is fine for short, quick entries, but I want to be able to use a keyboard for those longer entries. Weather information - I like capturing the weather with my entires, temperature, conditions, they just add a bit to the memory. Export capabilities - Some way of getting the entries out of the app. Even something as basic as save to PDF would be enough for me. 12-18

Remember when Google’s motto was don’t be evil? Now their latest initiatives are to slurp up as much data as possible to train their generative AI, track the websites their users visit to package up and provide to advertisers, and allow websites to refuse to load content if they don’t like something running on the user’s computer. 09-13

Bought #BaldursGate3 on MacOS assuming it was coming out Sep 6. When I found out it wasn’t coming out until later in Sep I decided I’d wait to play until the full game was released. Well, today I decided to just play around in the character creator, then I started playing the starting mission, and man, I just wish the full game was released for Mac already! 09-08
