Didn’t post that much yesterday but we went to the beach again (making the most of the end of the summer) and saw a ton of jellyfish 🪼 again 👀

a quick bio because why not eh?
I’m def gonna do my EPQ project on atproto, but i need to think of a specific question to base it around and i don’t wanna nerd out (i think i need to do a presentation in front of my class at the end & answer any questions about it) 🤔
(Basically it’s a long essay about a topic of your choice)
Sooo close to the #AppleEvent on Monday!
I’m just hoping I do t get (much) work that I need to do so I can actually watch it without stressing 🥲

I only just found out what these embedding LLMs do the other day, and Google just dropped a new 308M param model!
I really like how they’re ...
Currently watching the latest #RevolutionSocial podcast with Taylor Lorenz, and makes me grateful to be posting to my own site (thanks micro.blog!), crossposted to my self-hosted Bluesky account and to my own Nostr relay even if I don’t use Nostr that much.. haha

Not a fan of the new Instagram app. I agree with Dylan in this tweet, imo they’re holding onto the uncertainty of TikTok’s future in the US and trying to make Insta the new TikTok (esp since they launched that Edits app.)
Perfect shoutout for Flashes! A real Instagram alternative built on #atproto!

It’s really strange, one of my new comp sci teachers looks so similar to John Gruber 😭
when you realise that crazy train and hammer to fall use the same guitar riff 👀
My whole feed rn is talking about the new instagram iPad app lol. Hear that, iOS devs?
iOS autocorrect:
We’ll → well
Hell → he’ll
Np → no
JUST WORK
if you ask Microsoft Copilot for your location (even in incognito, signed out and without location permissions) it gives you your location straight back to you 😅
Instagram just launched their iPad app and wow, I love how they make it seem like friends' posts are all you see in your feed… 🫣

First day back was pretty decent. Like my form tutor, decent lessons (just need to keep up in maths) and it’s cool having free periods - even if eventually I’ll need to study in them lol
Let’s gooo
With my #tailscale exit node on, I can steal my school’s WiFi and watch Instagram reels 🔥 
gm - first day of sixth form here we go 😅
Time to probably not be able to sleep for ages… thinking about sixth form😅(gn)
my social media accs are literally just public journals
Turns out Gemini is very good at making visualisations in HTML - so I played around with a tool to visualise atproto and it’s open source on GitHub! Might help with explaining to average/new users? iirc some other similar tool may exist, but I forgot.

It’s pretty annoying that some companies only post “blog post” as Twitter/X articles - Google’s AI ones have done this a few times but it’s literally so bad… it’s locked within Twitter and I think you need to be logged in to even read it.
NOOO my KravaSign cert was revoked… what are the chances that like 2-3 weeks after I buy my first ever one, Apple starts cracking down on these sideloading methods 😭
