jeffgreco··on Meta’s live demo fails; “AI” recording plays before the actor takes the steps
They are boring infomercials now. The live audience used to keep it from feeling too prepackaged.
jeffgreco··on Bluesky Issues Warning to Any Users Celebrating Charlie Kirk Assassination
Kirk: “Joe Biden is a bumbling dementia filled Alzheimer's corrupt tyrant who should honestly be put in prison and/or given the death penalty for his crimes against America.”
jeffgreco··on 14 Killed in anti-government protests in Nepal
Demonstrably false. The press is being actively extorted by the government in an effort to dictate their coverage. Our academic system is being eviscerated by the government in part to undermine dissent against the Israeli war. Corporations are being punished by the government for efforts to develop inclusive workplaces.

Including Threads with Fediverse might have an interesting impact.

I think the premise is folks at Apple don’t have the occasion to be prompted to accept the terms.
jeffgreco··on Liquid Glass – WWDC25 [video]
Agree to disagree I guess - iOS 7’s initial preview wasn’t perfect but not incoherent and illegible to this degree.

If anyone wants to refresh their memory: https://youtu.be/6jBK3Dggkwg

Not to mention way more functionality added to the OS that year than this.

jeffgreco··on Apple's Liquid Glass is prep work for AR interfaces, not just a design refresh
I don’t disagree but the vast majority of apps I use don’t even bother to flirt with trying to recreate Apple UI anymore, and they’re probably right. Unless you are an Apple-only business and appealing to the fanboy, the benefits are minimal.

jeffgreco··on Nintendo delays Switch 2 pre-orders in response to Trump tariffs

That's common for me after three or four years.
jeffgreco··on NASA to launch space observatory that will map 450M galaxies
Not according to the current presidential administration. Impoundment is their stated goal.

Who cares? Industry associations are there for building reputations, they’re there to wield collective power.

Thank you for Shepherd, it’s a tremendous resource for finding something to read.
jeffgreco··on Associated Press Barred from Oval Office for Not Using 'Gulf of America'
Agreed - the replacement of reporters at the Pentagon has been even worse. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2025/02/08/trump-adminis...

Strong FAFO vibes.

jeffgreco··on The young, inexperienced engineers aiding DOGE
There are class action lawsuits being organized on behalf of federal workers against this egregious data breach and let's hope to god they succeed.
jeffgreco··on The young, inexperienced engineers aiding DOGE
No, they are not actually part of the government, authorized by any act of Congress, nor paid by it.
