If you need to read just one: 37 Execs are bullshit 99.9% of the time but there is a reason why you hire them: you are fucked

RC data by @toppare iOS26 88% subs/rev iOS18 10%
late to the party but I had a look at our data for paid subscribers who opened the app during the last 90 days and iOS26 share is ~88%. iOS18 is not that small, still worth supporting for most folks

Most people say app reviwers are too tough. I wish they were much tougher (but also more specific, sure)
This probably wouldn’t have passed review without Remote Config

It's 2026 and both a liter of crude oil and a liter of refined gasoline are still below $1. Hopefully this changes soon and not by 20%

before tax obviously, which is my point. If the market enable such absurd low pricing, hard tax is the solution. Not like the soft ones enforced currently

No mentions so far of SKAN or AAK in the #WWDC Privacy and Security Group Lab session. Both of my questions around Private Relay general availability and Apple’s updated stance on probabilistic attribution were dismissed, which likely means no major changes are coming this time around. I'll share the detailed notes after the meeting.

The era of "all you can eat AI" is ending Interesting patterns developing on both sides... -subs/credits/wait monetization schemes, with white, grey, black, rainbow and hooli practices -what tasks, from which model, prompt skills & break limits, what not to run at all

The same mechanical turks who enabled a lot of today's model at their own expense might get a little revenge after all. Unexpected turn of event! As of anyone still completing captchas, don't. Yikes

Reprezentacja Haiti na oficjalnych koszulkach w których zagra na Mistrzostwach Świata umieściła POLSKĄ FLAGĘ! To nie błąd projektanta ani przypadek – to wyjątkowy gest pełen szacunku, który porusza serce każdego Polaka. W 1802 roku Napoleon wysłał kilka tysięcy żołnierzy z Polskich Legionów na San Domingo (obecne Haiti), żeby zdławić tamtejsze powstanie niewolników. Polacy jednak wybrali inną drogę. Zamiast walczyć przeciwko walczącym o wolność, wielu z nich przeszło na stronę powstańców i stanęło do walki ramię w ramię z Haitańczykami przeciwko wojskom francuskim. Po zwycięstwie rewolucji i ogłoszeniu niepodległości w 1804 roku, pierwszy przywódca Haiti – Jean-Jacques Dessalines – oddał Polakom wielki hołd. Przyznał im pełne obywatelstwo, a w konstytucji nazwał ich „Białymi Murzynami Europy”. Były to słowa najwyższego uznania i braterstwa w tamtych czasach. Część polskich żołnierzy (ok. 400–500) została na wyspie na stałe, głównie w regionie Cazale, gdzie ich potomkowie mieszkają do dzisiaj. Dziś, ponad dwieście lat później, pamięć o polskiej odwadze i solidarności wciąż żyje na Haiti. Kiedy ich piłkarze wychodzą na murawę, niosą na piersi symbol naszej wspólnej historii – historii walki o wolność, która nie zna granic ani koloru skóry.
