I’m not gonna say I want everyone on one app, because that’s gonna inevitably go wrong (look at Twitter)
BUT I just want to be able to follow anyone I want using whichever service + client!

a quick bio because why not eh?
Just came across an Instagram reel of this guy who was playing Sultans of Swing on guitar. It’s SO good but only has 39 likes? (Me being one)
Followed! Instagram needs to boost these small creators more wtf
I think my new favourite form of Instagram-style apps are ones like grain.social - ones where you put photos in little collections rather than individual posts. Also encourages people to look back at older ones imo, not always looking for the latest thing

Just saw a “Love Mondays Again” sign. Did anyone ever love Monday?
Sage green might be my new favourite colour because of the iPhone 17 alone
Helium finally launched in an open beta!
I’ve been using this for about a week now, and it’s been sooo nice. I like using chromium (feels quicker than FF based browsers like Zen), looks nice, and is privacy-respecting. Only complain is it crashes a couple times per day on Linux :( (beta) 
Helium Browser
The web browser made for people, with love. Best privacy by default, unbiased ad-blocking, no bloat and no noise. Fully open source.
What the FUCK Apple?! I had beta updates disabled, I updated my Mac and now I’m on 26.1 beta?! FFS I’m gonna have to somehow downgrade to regular 26… fuck
It’s gonna take years to reinstall Tahoe 26.0 atp 
omg at the bus station rn and it feels so weird with ANC, it felt lonely before I put on music lmaooo
end of AirPosting maybe (let me enjoy the upgrade omg)
As someone who’s always wanted discord’s mute feature irl, AirPods Pro are great with ANC!
Next we need selective muting per voice :p

One thing I’ve noticed with my AirPods Pro 3 is that they don’t hurt my hear after quite a bit of listening g (at least so far).
I think this might be bc of silicon tips (I upgraded from regular AirPods 2). Those made my ears ache after a bit (esp on mid→high volume)
Ok my AirPods seem normal now, nice!!
Anyone know why live translation won’t work?? I’ve downloaded the models but it doesn’t seem to work? It just sends this notification and reads it out SUPER loudly LMAOO 
Upgrade day!
AirPods 2nd gen (got in June 2021) to AirPods Pro 3 (just got today!!)
Excited to use these 👀

Hmmm idk if I’ve just not set them up right but my AirPods Pro 3 noise cancellation don’t seem to work consistently? I have it enabled (not to auto switch) and idk if it does much. Charging them now to get the case & AirPods to 100%. restarted my iPhone too.
OMG my AirPods Pro (3) are here! Unsure if it’s a bug when I first put them in, or if they need to charge, but one kept cutting in and out of transparency mode. They were kinda low % tho (20% or smth). Charging them now!
(But from experience they’re not always right together when I put em in quick)
I’ve seen super mixed reviews on the AirPods Pro 3. I’ve seen 2 people I follow (across X and Mastodon) have faulty units. Pretty nervous to get mine (parents are back in like less than 1hr).
Some ppl have said it’s amazing, others have said it’s worse than the AirPods Pro 2 😅
Ffs.

ah yes, i can’t wait to get my AirPods Pro 3 so I can translate American English into British English!
Just got a Comet invite! Won’t be my main browser bc it looks pretty “clunky”, but I’m curious 👀
Guess I’ll see if I can get it working on Linux on my laptop, otherwise using it on Mac mini 
someone should make a good desktop client for openbubbles/bluebubbles ngl
