The Apple Vision Pro is a failed dead/dud product
💬 Too many people - who should know better.
🖇️ Such as Wired back in 2023 - which I always rail against if I have a spare moment.
This is why …
🔗 Excellent News - @manton - thank you.
@manton - seeing this makes me think that the whole page that manages ‘sources’ in the world of ‘aggregate’ and ‘syndicate’ could be managed in a much better way. I am probably (again) an edge case - but for me it is a confusing cacophony that I have to recalibrate my brain for every time I go 🔗 here.
If you are thinking about it at all - would be happy to summarise my thoughts for you. No point in doing that if you aren’t 😉.
Been a Sangeet follower for years - but don’t often share his wisdom. Not sure why. BUT - here’s an exception - one of those posts that connects disparate area of personal interest. Enjoy.

💬 Events compound in unfathomable ways.
👁️ OH - wait …. hello ‘me’ 👋🏼
just talking to myself - but confirmed it does. I tried Dave's app earlier - wriging there - routes to my blog - which syndicated to BlueSky - amongst others - and safely arrived. As did a reply from Masto - back in.
Was wondering if RSC was going to behave the same way - and it did - full round trip confirmed. Well 'full' is foing some heavy lifting there - more testing needed - but need to work out first what I am testing for :-)
😂 Talking of the creative application of maps …

This post started over in DaveLand ... got federated to my accounts via Micro.Blog (thanks @manton) to which I replied and now sharing that reply from Ricardo's 'RSC' (Really Simple Conversation) .. the world always was wacky .. it's now getting easier to be wacky .. and potentially generate ECHOES of ECHOES of Echoes of echoes of ech ...
Indeed .. I wonder if this will work the same way❓
Well look at that @dave .. it worked .. taking the same route as you .. just in a different truck … here to Micro.blog to BlueSky … and Mastodon, Threads, Tumblr et al .. thanks to @manton.
LATER THIS MORNING:
Saving for posterity - this what was orgianlly posted and somehow broke because of html and markdown trying to work in the same space.

Yes … despite the proclamation .. logo once again gone. I know why. I know how to fix it. I just need to actually do it!
Following some breadcrumbs.
Jax won’t say anything - so taking a few minutes out to sing her praises.
Last week she was talking with someone who is on their way to ‘new friend’ status when the conversation inevitably arrived at the ‘so - what do you do’ question - and the conversation took off.
A young man (related to new friend) was listening in.
This text received the next day.
Praise doesn’t often come from teenagers, but (name redacted) was loving listening to our conversation and said “I never thought I’d meet someone like her, someone who is switched on but also doing something about it“ 😊
The most telling part of this is that a lot of people who should know better simply do not understand her work - just nod their heads and move on. Why?
- Too hard. (No - it isn’t.)
- Doesn’t apply to me / doesn’t happen here. (Yes it does and yes it does.)
- Assumes wrongly that others are already fixing this.(No - they aren’t.).
**Very proud of Jax and all that she is doing in this tortured world. **
Crucial Track 🎵 August 8, 2026
"Govinda" by Kula Shaker
Apparently they are still going ... who knew? This had my ears at the time - as did [🖇️ the album](https://john.philpin.com/2026/08/08/k-by-kula-shaker.html) - and still does. I can't fail to listen to Govinda and not feel uplifted.
K by Kula Shaker
Released in 1996 in the middle of ‘Brit Pop’ - yet curiously Oasis, Blur and Pulp all did NOT release and album that year. Not sure they fit into the BritPop category - but no less great for it.
