(it’s so buggy since I only just installed the beta on my iPhone 16 from iOS 18 lol.) 
Currently downloading the iOS 26 Public Beta 6. Doing it for real now lol. We’re 2 days away from the RC (Release Candidate)… I’ve been dying to use it on my phone so I might as well give in now lmao. Says “About 13 minutes remaining”, never correct, but we’ll see… Liquid Glass here I come!!
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 👀 
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)

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!

My whole feed rn is talking about the new instagram iPad app lol. Hear that, iOS devs?

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 🔥
