Reproducing the whole image because the news - that we all know - is buried.
What on earth happened between 2024 and 2025 in America for goodness sake.
I read this over on Gaping Void and thought wait - there’s a much older - more famous story - so I found it for you - so you didn’t have to.
🔗 Why GM Will Give You Gemini But Not CarPlay
If GM goes through with this abandonment of CarPlay, I don’t see how they’ll continue to sell any vehicles to rental agencies. I would never rent a car without CarPlay, and I would never consider signing up for a GM cloud service just to drive a rental car. Complete dealbreakers.
💯- well maybe 95 - either way it smells like a short term thinking decision.
David Merfield at Blot Rocks
.. there I said it. So happy with my new 🔗 Blot powered Obsidian Wiki - now in the menu of my 🖇️ Public Journal
What David Merfield built is very impressive and the Obsidian integration is stunning.
My wiki is based on the Forty template with extended CSS and functionality like 🔗 this page all built in collaboration with Claude.
Looking to now add an image gallery
Have I taken away a programmers job? No - without Claude I just wouldn’t have done it.
Next job moving a raft of material out of various archives and folders into the Obsidian vault.

… and of course the totally unbiased thinking and behaviour of Messrs Musk and Sacks will absolutely guarantee a fair and balanced view.
Should I house my new Structured Thought wiki at wiki.philpin.com - or leave it at 🔗 notes.philpin.com?
Filed under important questions that have no right answer.
The logo in my email signature in 🍎📧 just stopped rendering earlier this week. Took until today to work out what was wrong - noting that I hadn’t changed anything.
As of this morning … fixed - though no idea why it stopped working to begin with.
🔗📼😂 I know exactly how Kevin feels.
It’s all about attention to detail … FFS‼️
🔗 Safari 26 Bug Turns Routine Browsing into a Memory Nightmare
.. I have been suffering from this - and I THINK this is the problem.
I originally THOUGHT I had narrowed it down to TextExpander since every time I closed TextExpander the problem seemed to right itself. Escalated to TextExpander - who told me how to do a clean install - which I did - but it didn’t fix the problem - because of course Text Expander isn’t an Electron app.
Props and big kudos to ‘Christa’ at Text Expander for the response time and help. 🙏🏼
Later: TURNS OUT NEVER WAS A TEXTEXPANDER ISSUE - all coincidence.
This morning I gave Claude a list of all my Mac apps - and it tells me that these are the electron ones …
- ChatGPT
- Obsidian
- Signal
- Microsoft Teams (the only part of Microsoft allowed on my Mac)
- Dropbox
- Slack
So I think ChatGPT and Slack are my likely biggest culprits.
