OH WHAT

My Apple Mac AI + @ivory (?) just summarized my post criticizing Apple’s AI.

I CRITICIZE THIS UNAPPROVED SUMMATION OF MY CRITICISM

#mac #apple

A notification says from Ivory says “Chris Alemany Apple Intelligence post criticizes Apple’s shift towards image creation tools.”
#apple #mac @Ivory by Tapbots

ughh... Apple Intelligence is here.

I also remember text to speech being super cool back in the MacOS 8 days.

I am not convinced we've really advanced that far contrary to what some want to say.

And we have definitely pitched the whole "Apple is about the Creative People" out the window in favour of "Image Creation Tools -- based on the unpaid work of millions -- are here.”

#mac #apple

A picture of a information window that popped up after completion of the update. It announces apple intelligence.
A picture of a not notification on the top right corner of my screen says image creation tools are here. Genmoji and image playground are now available for your Mac. With a little multicoloured square icon on the left side.

Have you seen Callsheet? It’s an iOS app for movie and tv information. It’s a better version of IMDB. I finally took the time to review it. It’s awesome! Why did I wait so long? Nicely done @caseyliss !!

Developers, please be careful when installing Homebrew. Google is serving sponsored links to a Homebrew site clone that has a cURL command to malware. The URL for this site is one letter different than the official site.


Note: Google allows the ad sponsors to specify an URL that will be displayed on the ad (original brew.sh here), but the click takes you to the malware domain brewe.sh.

#Apple #HomeBrew #Google #MacOS

Fake website "brewe[.]sh" which looks just like the original but distributes malware

Navazuji na včerejší tip.

Tady je porovnání iPhone a různých odnoží Androidu. Většina lidí má "Android" - distribuci plnou šmírovátek od Google obohacenou o bloatware výrobce, který nejen že šmíruje po svém, ale často zavléká bezpečnostní chyby, zabírá místo v úložišti i RAM.

V GrapheneOS mimo jiné vůbec není položka "Reklama" s Mobile Advertising ID.

Still wishing we could see them in physical stores worldwide, with versions at affordable prices even if those may be slower. It's a bit sad to support something I know I can't get, although the initiative is a lifesaver and a much needed thing: In a normal world #Purism / #Librem should explode to the popularity of #Apple devices, especially among those that us who understand the harm and danger to ourselves perpetrated under the hoax of safety by the powerful.

"Bier’s first hit app, TBH, was marketed to teenagers and...it 'requested address book access before actually being able to use the app'. [...] Bier’s reputation for success is built on this growth hacking technique, so I understand why he is upset."

"Apple’s solution is imperfect. But if it stops the Biers of the world from building apps which ingest wholesale the contact lists of teenagers, I find it difficult to object."

For some reason, I rarely advertised the fact that my music is also available on #Apple #Music (as well as on other streaming outlets).
The following tune was recorded with a few outstanding musicians, including @FreakyFwoof, Jason Castingway and others.
Plz follow and spread the word, if you like. Thank you!

#apple #Disabled #AppleVis

Apple gave us a great, #accessible graphing calculator on #iOS and #iPadOS in the form of math notes. Given, for example a quadratic function: y=2x^2 +x +1 it generates a graph which sounds like this. While such simple quadratic equations can be used only in schools I see huge potential in making math more accessible to the #blind. As a math nerd and someone who almost failed a year at school due to accessibility, I am really happy and grateful to #apple for making this accessible to us.

This is gross, and further confirms Apple’s transition from innovation to rent-seeking, but there is a good solution: Stop having an app. Patreon would work just fine as a web site, no?

A Brief tour of the End, an accessible fiction podcast directory.
This is a brief tour of The End database, for fiction podcasts, with Apple's screen reader on iOS. I walk through some pages of the website that show how clean markup can make a website very easy to navigate for everyone, not just screen reader users.

The End | Binge-Ready Fiction Podcasts & Audio Fiction Directory

The only listener-focused fiction podcast directory with over 1,500 binge-ready fiction podcasts, audio dramas, and other audio fiction. All shows listed have reached a season finale or the series conclusion, so you can binge-listen with confidence.

I honestly wish the audio games forum was shutting down instead of @AppleVis but on a more serious note, I'd love the site to be given to the community or archived in some way because this is blindness history and there is no other comparable repository of accessible apps for iOS. Can someone, anyone, talk to David and the team and preserve the apps databases, at least? Give the website to the community, don't just shut it down completely because there's a lot of community value. Shut down the forums, but at least keep the repositories and blog posts alive for as long as the domain and host will last. applevis.com/blog/end-era-mess… #Apple #Blind #Accessibility

The End of an Era: A Message From the Founder as We Announce the Closure of AppleVis | AppleVis

Dear AppleVis Community, It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that after careful consideration I have made the difficult decision to step down from my responsibilities with AppleVis.

#Accessibility #apple #blind @AppleVis

Despite all my experience, I am sometimes tempted to give certain #software vendors a second chance.

And I was curious to see what the new #AppleMaps could do. Unfortunately, my trial only lasted a few seconds, because neither one of my operating systems nor the browser I use for my daily work are supported.

And so I can say: negative prejudices confirmed, I don't need something like this.

»Firma verschleudert 3,6 Milliarden Standorte von Menschen in Deutschland«. Seit Jahren erwähne ich in fast jedem Artikel, in dem es um Tracking und Android-Apps geht, dass die Google Advertising-ID ein personenbeziehbares Datum ist. Dies wurde nun erneut eindrucksvoll bewiesen. 👇

It’s time to start using a privacy focused browser! 👩🏻‍💻🔐

The EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) is forcing Apple to give users a default browser choice.

Which default browser did you pick and why? 💻
