I don't use the WiFi on campus if I can help it
okay, if I download the ipsw, I need a second MacBook to apply it to mine
There is something very wrong with mine right now

still get a lot of uptake
I bet you anything the missing 2% across the board are people whose auto-updates have failed due to storage space
64 GB devices
Seems highly plausible.
I have experienced this first-hand with devices that werenāt mine
And the storage requirements for 26ās update are huge
I had to clear out some stuff on my 12 mini.
Last time I had to do it manually with a Mac
For that person
Snoooooopy

Hmm
Thatās the bottom option
I prefer that to the row at the top
I think I prefer compact and thatās why I have trouble with Orion
I like this bottom option because when you scroll, everything goes away
Just becomes a little glassy pill at the bottom
So the page content is everything
the muscle memory for handling tabs leapt to the new order at the bottom
Ooh a bug to report
report dem bugs
softwareupdate has the following parameter -d | --download Download Only
Except that this does ādownload and prepareā
Itās the prepare part of the operation that keeps failing on me
and the download gets deleted as a result
so I have to do it again
I might just wait a few more days for the download response to improve
(or plug my personal device into the wired network and get that yummy download speed)
Obsidian is a pretty nice app
oh! https://mrmacintosh.com has a direct link to the installer package
Oh right
Mr. Macintosh serves as a knowledge base for Apple device administrators

Wow an iMessage fraud spam from a hotmail address
nope still failing to prepare the install
it needs to talk to a server somewhere that isnāt quite responding
at least I have it downloaded now
Yeah I may have to get my airpods pro 2 serviced with my applecare. Not only noise cancelling does not work properly, but the microphone itself does not catch any audio
I guess they got dropped too many times
Aw thatās too bad
MacBreak Weekly live soon
Will be good to get an overview of all the changes across the ecosystem
iPhone Mirroring lets you change the aspect ratio now eh
Looking at iOS from yesterdays stuff, iPhones look like fake mock-ups really with the way none of the elements feel like they are part of a cohesive whole
What do you mean?
Like looking at this
The depth and layers and the colour scheme and the way overlays work. It really reflects how modern design doesn't try to keep things consistent anymore
Iām not sure if I can see what you see
I find iOS to be a really cohesive experience
Compared to what I knew previously
Especially Android
As an outsider, none of this looks like it is designed together
(Android is no better)
The whole experience feels very intuitive for me
But you're also used to it now and have the familiarity
Yes 100%
Although I have to say, I adapted immediately from day one
Even though I was a lifelong Android user
So I guess thatās just something that works for me
Dustin is clearly cooler than crb
I always struggled on Android in a way I donāt on iOS which I find quite interesting
I think if it wasnāt so intuitive for me, I wouldnāt have switched
same
Android is also just as bad at this point. Both os are very inconsistent
But for example I do not find iPadOS intuitive or enjoyable
I do not like that tablet experience in any way
itās just a bigger iPhone
It just doesnāt work for me
Unless youāre monkeying about with stage manager
Especially the gestures
The reason why iOS is so good for me is the gesture system and that everything is to hand so effortlessly
same gestures as iOS
mind you, Iām not big on gestures so I donāt notice that much
Iām always fighting my iPad mini
And the bigger (smaller) screen doesnāt do anything for me
And itās awkward to hold
But I know some people love the iPad
I think I want a mini
Cāmon whereās MBW
too busy guzzling the kool aid
Itās interesting because I think of all the Apple Shitā¢
iOS is the one thatās the most joy to use
I like my Macs but I am so-so on macOS
It does everything I want and I do like it
And I like the app ecosystem better than Linux, thatās for sure
And itās marvellously performant and efficient
zoom zoom
But Iām not delighted by macOS
itās definitely gone downhill since they started trying to make it more like iOS
locked down with every app sandboxed
Probably why I like it better now than 6 years ago
Or 10 years ago
Iāve been using it for 16 years⦠I definitely prefer how the OS behaved back then
I donāt want to turn away new features, but a lot have been removed over time
I guess as well I am using older versions of macOS in a vacuum
On old devices in this day and age
my iMac is stuck on older macOS⦠itās way less pretty than todayās and less powerful
but maybe a little more useful for a poweruser like myself
woo
First thing I did was just say āHi Siriā as a thread

Damn
Does it also pull info from matrix š¤ prob not ?
No I doubt it
You would have to add support in your app
The app needs to be an intent provider I think
App Intents and all that
I see
Still very cool that have it finally working
So far so good. Lots of bugs of course
But pretty cool
Oh, the screen capture tool has a Siri extension now

I can exceed that on two of my watches

Nothing nice about Pebble watches
I almost kept the pixel watch
the Casio G-SHOCK MRG-B2000SG-1A has gone up in price.
My problem with the pixel watch beyond the battery life is I was worried I'd smash it

Listening to Jen Simmonsā session from WWDC
About WebKit and Safari
She has said multiple times that they have focused a lot on aligning to web standards and furthering them

No Safari 27 beta for macOS 26 just yet
Watched the new Action Retro
I need to download the iso to get those linux user icons
You know, I see some real great features here with the new Siri
Asked for the 10 day forecast for a place in Ontario
Then asked Siri to send that to my wife
And yeah, formatted it and sent it via Messages
Also the updated Podcasts app for tvOS is so much better. Thank the lord
The previous one was horrible
Oh also, video podcasts work so much better

Native alt-text in the system, just there
https://github.com/apple/container/blob/main/docs/container-machine.md
Yup.
They did a weird toolbox.
If this is good enough, maybe my next work machine will be a Mac
Since I don't think we're doing Thinkpads anymore
But that'll be ... probably a few years from now with prices.
Oh cool
This isnāt for me but I could test it
For people like me*
Iāll play with it for sure. I contributed to their discussion on the feature, and they did a weird by naming it āmachineā. To me, machine implies virtualization. But they just created persistent containers, I think. I looked at the PR that added it and it doesnāt appear to do any virtualization isolation. It just talkes to the Container XPC server.
I made something more akin to toolbox: https://github.com/subpop/applebox.
I live in distrobox
Yea. I wanted something that felt more like distrobox.
container machine run is a āmouthfulā to type. I wanted something ergonomic. box enter
Unless my system completely dies, I'll probably have my Thinkpad at least until 2030
Itās almost 2030!
Woohoo
4 more years!!
3.5
But honestly, there is nothing out there that I want that isn't "local AI"
2k, 64gb of ram and a high end intel cpu
It does all the work stuff I could ask for
And plus, China will probably hit the red button and trigger all the systems by then

Hey Dustin, does Terminal.app have any new behaviors? Like always dark mode or split panes?
Let me get my Neo and look
Ok so when you are asking about dark mode
Here is the default
And these are the options
So the window chrome is still light.
Looks like that respects the system settings
Yea, but still no option to force dark appearance.
Yeah
And I see the same tabbing system
Let me see about spilt pane
No, it treats each tab as its own instance so you can use the tiling system
Wow, there are some⦠irregularities
But I canāt reproduce it
And Feedback Assistant isnāt loading
Iāll save that for later
Thanks!
Terminal resizing is, like, per grid
Is that expected?
Yea, it probably resizes per row/column.
You click and drag and itās quite blocky. I see the sizing number represented
Instead of per-pixel.
Yeah
Itās different from the rest
Yeah, ok.
I never noticed that before. Strange
Thatās how it resizes in 26 too.
Maybe Iām not resizing it much
Why would you want to run an app in dark mode while your system is in light?
I know, letās get the Apple Studio team to rewrite Terminal (which Apple never really wanted present anyway) in ProKit
In reply to @doofus:troublemaker.dev
Why would you want to run an app in dark mode while your system is in light?
considering how many CLIs and TUIs expect to be running in a dark terminalā¦
Yeah, it's very annoying
I read a lot of paper copy text⦠thatās dark/coloured on white.
so, you know, I want to see it on screen the way it would look on paper
not that I print anything myself
I need it to be black on white or I have trouble focusing
I prefer terminal content to be light-on-dark.
Iām with crb here. Any light on dark, though. I use Solarized wherever I can
Astigmatism gang š
oh! rstevens (of Diesel Sweeties fame) mentioned Astigmatism
and how *OS 27 adds more features that help him see the screen better
https://mastodon.social/@rstevens/116716476033446325
Oh nice
Oh yeah I also do not enjoy reading white text on black
My wife is a dark mode user
I am not at all
Iām not light sensitive tjouu
Iām not light sensitive though
As someone who is light sensitive I use light mode
I just tried the new passes feature in Wallet on iOS 27
Made one for our local grocery store who requires the app for a Wallet pass
Iāll test it today
So interesting that on my Touch ID-equipped iMac I can authorize a passkey with the Watch
But not on the Neo
I feel like thatās a missing piece of the biometrics that you can have on the Neo via AW
Tpm stuff?
I donāt know. Itās built into the silicon now
It allows me to authenticate quite a lot via the Watch
As a biometric
Maybe this is something they can improve over time. I submitted a feature request for what thatās worth
But if I could unlock passkeys with AW as I do the password vault itself
That would be great
I can also approve purchases, unlock the machine itself
All kinds of things
Feedback Assistant remains down
too much feedback!
Looks like the iMac will get to use the highest end foundation models
32 GB and M4 is more than enough
I ought to leave it on 26 ⦠but then again

You have an excellent blurb on what Matrix is.
Ohh
So if you have questions, we're good to answer them
yh who found this
What do you mean?
who invented this matrix platform
Ah, well
Without getting into the weeds, it's a protocol developed by the Matrix Foundation
Which was initially designed in a British university for a telecom company
With VoIP in mind
But functionally now it's an open communications platform that wants to sell services and technology to corporations, governments, NGO and such
But we here are simply using it as an alternative to IRC/Discord/Telegram/XMPP/insert thing here
oooooooo
gotcha
finding this site and coming in here felt like traveled to a remote village
Hahaha

This is more like a foreign city. There's groups of people spread out across a huge swath of land

Link Dupont Iām testing out the LazyVStack right now
Actually seems pretty good
Yes, and actually, I have more improvements coming.
It feels more⦠āstableā than the other one now
And fast
I think so too. Thatās why Iām pushing on it.
LazyVStack is capable of rendering a chat timeline. I just have to find all the tweaks to not invalidate entire histories at once.
Lazy but not forgetful
lol, itās lazy in the sense that it isnāt eager.
It doesnāt render a view for every element in its data set; only those that get close to the bounds of the scroll viewport.
My ears perked up during one of those WWDC labs about lazy rendering as well
But now I forget what they said
But there was some all new, ground up profiler
As well. It was in that conversation
Yea. Iāll see when the new 27 APIs pull me into updating the minimal deployment target.
Itās probably going to be the swipe actions.
Hmmm yeah all that is correct
i think this app is so advanced and organized
So far Siri does seem to be pulling accurate data
In search
its so clean
Are you using Element @dodz
yh
On iOS?
no on my pc
Ahhh, ok
If you were on Mac you would also have access to some other fantastic clients
Windows or Linux for your PC?
windows
Ahh ok yeah probably Element is your best chopice
Ahh ok yeah probably Element is your best choice

what if make a new room to discuss about geopolitics?
u guys come?
I think there may already be something preexisting for you to join
no there arenot
Nice opportunity for you to make it I suppose then š
would u come
No, not my cup of tea
why
Iām not interested in a matrix room about geopolitics
what r u interested in
Local politics
canadian politics?
And this room topic
i see
u can come anyway
No thank you :)
No thank you š
https://appleinsider.com/articles/26/06/09/macos-golden-gate-menus-revert-to-having-no-icons-by-each-item-as-it-should-be
Aw yeah they took the icons awayyy
Itās configurable now, i thought.
Outrage!
Itās off by default
Because so many dullards wore their fingers down blogging about it
haha
Let me see if itās enableable
Hm I donāt see any toggles to enable it
I asked nuSiri about some vague thing in a Messages chat. When a friend sent me a hard drive last
It found it quickly, told me when and then told me when I reported receiving it
And then I asked it for something he replied a minute prior and it found that immediately
Pretty compelling actually
ok
Ah no, itās not appropriate to do so
ok
Thanks for asking though
wdym
I appreciate you asking first
ok
Thank you!
Oh Feedback Assistant is working again. I can submit that goofy bug
how should i find people for my space
Yes, ask away
You can make connections during your time here and try to draft people in who might be a good fit
Itās tough to run a new room on matrix for a while
Until it grows a bit
But the first few months can be pretty quiet
Oooh, dual camera for FaceTime on 27
can i make money by running a room in here
No
Thereās no monetization and itās also not part of the culture
really
Which is for free and open communications
matrix is focused around data ownership, sovereignty, openness and so on
so there is no benefit of running it
The benefit is the community one builds
that would depend entirely on the rules put up by whomever is running your home server
community doesnt pay my bills tho
my job pays my bills
my one too
the community feeds my social needs; not financial.
anyway, everybody is free to feel what they want about rooms or spaces
Itās unhealthy to treat all interactions from a transactional perspective
very much so
Telegram would be a better platform for that though, youāll definitely find that there
make sense
So there are platforms which serve that culture
Starts with T
Or L?
or D
gotcha i can understand the motto here
that's the motto of this particular room
may you find luck in discovering others
https://developer.apple.com/tap-to-pay/tap-to-share/
Oooh
This is super cool
yhhh
u guys use this for only educational purposes
thats why its not popular so far
this room is for discussing Apple products and non-Apple in comparison to what Apple provides
its like a place, that can find pure data
i see
Thereās a wide variety of topics
Spread out across the large ecosystem
we're happy with our popularity, thank you very much
The challenge is discovery
um not saying that as a insult, dont take it like dat
I didn't
good
Weāve been together for 4 years in this room, 7 in others
And itās a very nice community
Being more popular is not a benefit
yh
its all about quality
https://petapixel.com/2026/06/10/apples-raw-processing-is-finally-evolving-after-a-decade-and-its-a-big-deal/
Oh thatās an interesting session
To check out
https://www.phoronix.com/news/macOS-27-Beta-Breaks-Asahi
Oh it seems to know itās from Relay
In reply to @nisbet:matrix.org
What say you crb
Wait you mean a beta 1 breaks things?
(alphas may break things, betas shouldn't)
oh, that RAW article shows very nice things
But itās a developer beta and not public beta in this context
Which is designed exactly for that purpose, IMO
Linux Kernel boot support on M3 getting closer, too
Also Phoronix is the worst isnāt it
I donāt even dare read the comments
Ah I tested nuSiriās screenshot feature
Took an image of Munich and picked a random building with the select tool
And yeah, nailed it
Wife confirmed itās correct
Maybe Iāll try something from her village in Look Around and see if it gets it
Oh interesting, couldnāt exactly peg the hall from my wifeās village in Bavaria but it did get the region/Landkreis exactly right
Oooh AAPL rebounded already
Post-WWDC slump
I picked up a little bit and itās already in the green. Go Apple Ternus!
I wonder if nusiri will be able to search the logs in all the various apps
WWDC isn't over yet
I think thereās actually some foundation models that specifically are for app improvements
maybe "Post-WWDC-Keynote"
Or rather, some tools using those models
That allow you to troubleshoot
Oh Link Dupont I banned that account from this room
The username alone is sketchyh
The username alone is sketchy
Ok. But. What account?
That Gwynne
Oh.
The profile photo looks AI-fake.
Oh interesting, the username changed
It contained āmailto gwynneshotwell12312@hotmail.comā initially
Thatās why I instantly banned
So weird
Iāll leave it for now. No harmful content has arrived yet.
Oh I remember seeing that.
I can see a whole bunch of very thoughtful and intuitive features in nuSiri already
Iām glad theyāre actually shipping what they promised
they got burned hard from their previous round of announcing before ready
Ok, letās try that
Bit weird but that was fast
And honestly that was asking a lot
Oh, itās true
Oh, thatās true, too
Iād like to get a second timezone on my menu bar without having to install an app
I guess I can work with the world clock widget for now
Wait. This is Siri updates from your cameras? Itās like ācat camā
I see nothing wrong with this
I love it.
now do dog translation ābark bark bark barkā = āsome malign person is near my houseā
I canāt wait to get notified every time a rabbit or a deer come and eat something from my wifeās garden.
My old dog: bark bark bark bark meant āthe trash cans are invading the street againā
āa leaf moved dangerously!!11oneoneā
granted itās mostly āperson is walking down the sidewalk across the streetā or āa person is walking a dog!!!ā
Iām probably going to get a bottom-up blind setup that triggers on barking
Yeah, HomeKit Secure Video got more powers, including condensed summaries and more detail for events
Thatās going to be hilarious.
My camera is too potato I think to analyze faces
But thatās an existing power
Itās been expanded
So ābob put a bowl of oranges on the table"
So āBob put a bowl of oranges on the table"
Home & HomePod
Faster AirPlay connections to HomePod
Improved connectivity for Thread home accessories
Faster smart home accessory updates
Faster HomeKit accessory pairing
More reliable HomeKit camera storage
Waiting for this one
Maybe itās available now
No
https://9to5google.com/2026/06/10/android-17-qpr1-beta-4-pixel/ I can roleplay being Dustin!!
Yay
I love that youāre now as bad as me with developer betas on your main phone
It helps that I barely use my phone
Yeah thatās how I get away with it
Welcome @shadowtrooper:matrix.org:
On Windows Weekly today, Paul Thurrott described his experiences vibe-coding a Markdown app in Xcode
He gave it a prompt, left for dinner and came back and it was done
Apparently took 12 minutes
And a fully-featured Swift app
He does not code much, he does not know Swift
He is a Windows guy
Hm. Ain't seeing any option to leave comments
Ah, there we go
I asked a question!
Go me
https://github.com/insidegui/VirtualBuddy/releases/tag/2.2-b1
Ooo
Ooh my question got upvoted
https://youtu.be/xqz0j21oc-U
The Vision Pro Siri interaction is so much fun
The curved windows look great, too
Just using āAsk Siriā on the image
I should put in feedback for a light mode for this interaction
No body
No body
Yeah! It looks pretty ... fine
I do like my iPhone, but Iām seriously tempted. I will, however, be patient and see where they go and how much they change Android. Iām not keen on the changes planned for 17. Weāll see. Who knows, maybe the world will disintegrate before I have to decide š¤Ŗ
Morning
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0sFafYm59Q
4:30 AM wakeup for me, yikes
Airport chauffeuring
Oh, what were the changes in 17? A lot of them seemed really minor like the last few versions
https://newsroom-deezer.com/2026/06/check-ai-generated-music-in-playlists-with-deezer-detector/
In November 2025, Deezer commissioned the worldās first survey focused on perceptions and attitudes towards AI-generated music. The survey was carried out by Ipsos with a total of 9000 people in 8 countries, US, Canada, Brazil, UK, France, Netherlands, Germany and Japan.
97% couldnāt tell the difference between fully AI-generated music and human-made music in a blind test with two AI songs and one real song
No, I donāt believe that for a second
But Iām sure the parameters of the survey were very tightly controlled
Probably it was that lofi style music wallpaper
Huh.
So much of music is pattern and mathematical. I bet computers can create lots of music.
Oh yeah absolutely but the stuff that can be āAI generatedā today is just not good
It sounds like shit, mostly. Especially vocals
Oh, I wouldnāt expect good vocals.
Everything sounds compressed and swimmy
Even the best models available now
I think it wonāt be long before muzak is a done deal with generative models though
Yea, that seems plausible.
So for example: https://suno.com/s/DkZRFXIGdsUCYv2i
This is one of the frontier models at the moment
https://suno.com/s/DkZRFXIGdsUCYv2i
https://suno.com/s/7ZCU2mIMXeCI355p
It is pretty amazing technology though
These lyrics are hilarious.
need to find the setting to change screenshot and recording destination
Desktop is a stupid destination
Itās in the screenshot utility settings.
The little deskbar thingy
youāre hallucigenating
no, I see what you mean
actually have to trigger a screen shot to get to the settings
While I do hulloocigenate, I know things.
Get out of my head, Doof!

Heh. Iāve had that.

You DON'T know things then!!!!
Youāre hallucinating again.
No, I'm answering emails. Its worse.

Ooh
Hmm, still no HomePod 27 beta. Usually itās 24 hours after tvOS
Is there anything new with homepodOS 27?
Because it is basically just tvOS. Or shared architecture
Mostly dealing with Thread 1.4 and AirPlay improvements
And I think some connectivity. It was a small list
Ah so basically nothing interesting
Well, infrastructure stuff
Like all the rest of the OSā, really
Which is very interesting I think
True yeah but I was ex'
Expecting something big like the new battery icon in ios
You want a new battery icon for HomePod mini?
This ^^^
I wanted new icons
idfk how they could do it, but I want it
Heheh
I haven't interacted with iOS 27 much but I feel like there wasn't much new. I was expecting more
Wasn't there like 300+ changes??
Maybe idk I don't have my iPhone on me
the whole liquid glass changes felt needed but not that big of a deal to me. I never cared about it, its influence on android is cool but I feel like it should just been an acesability thing that they should have added from the start but completely forgot
the whole "basically removing" it and making it frosted again
After looking it up, it is just AI stuff
Like I said, infrastructure changes
No body
All of my devices are noticeably faster
On dev beta 1
Which is astounding
Performance improvements and ai stuff
I took my phone off the charger at 4:15 this morning
And I used it to navigate and play a YouTube video in the background
And Iām at 62% at 11:30
Thatās actually incredible
I feel like the photos AI feature was demonstrated terribly from the one video I saw with that bird
So far I find all the Siri AI tools are working very well
I think for the average user, the world knowledge stuff will be really valuable
And all the āwhat did I say to so-and-soā has worked extremely well for me
I asked it yesterday about a hard drive a friend sent to me and within a few seconds it found the messages, told me when and what he said and when I reported receiving it
I still need to interact with it more
And then in real time as we were talking about sending a new drive
It also identified that heās going to send me another one soon
A message from a minute ago
So itās also real time. Pretty compelling
Hereās the Reframe feature in real time

Looks like itās about 30s for each feature
Give or take
Thatās on M4/32 GB
Welcome Jeremy Arena
Hey Dustin, How is it going?
A-ok
I think given how long itās taking, it seems like itās on-device. I should pull it up with macmon and see what itās leaning on
Actually it doesnāt seem like it
Maybe itās just going to PCC for all that stuff
Well, my Android phone will come in handy for the next few months
My Service BC app is now rendered inert on the beta
oops
It was expected. Honestly, itās why I have this Android device
And just to keep one around
OOOH
One UI 8.5
Prepare for dollar store Liquid Glass!

https://brew.sh/2026/06/11/homebrew-6.0.0/
amusing that theyāre announcing it today⦠I got this version a couple weeks ago already
Back ... To the Future!!
helo
i watched all three of the parts
Its a great series of films
ontario for the win
We still don't have an app for our services but I also don't know what services wed have
lol
Yeah, the Service BC setup is very, very good
well- what would you have on it
Can use it to authenticate all sorts of services. Crown insurance corp., CRA, health services, health records, licensing
hello @vest:mozilla.org and Dustin
Basically itās just like a digital ID but itās done in a very responsible and secure way
hello hello
i see
I don't really interact with much of that lmao
Itās a way of authenticating you are you to the gubbermint
One UI update sure taking its sweet time
i got interac for that
What version
yep
8.5
what phone?
A16 5G
Welcome!
Feel free to ask matrix-related questions here
ah, I got mine a few weeks ago, when did It say it was released for ya
Just this week I think
I checked last week or the week before
huh
yeah mine came out a few days after it said it would
They stagger
ye
There we are!
again why apples way of updating is so much better
Prepare to be underwhelmed
hm?
Ooh I get an animation
yeeee
First thing is slinging the āDiscover Feed"
?
Yep, everythingās just a little bit lamer
oh you were installing it
yeah there isn't much with it but the whole customization of the control panel is fun
dunno what else was new
Sucks as usual. Samsungās software is just the worst
The device itself is really quite ok
i won't deny that
hardware good, software bad
i would love a z flip with googles pixel software
only thing that I think Samsung does good is... Uhm...
probably something
i suck at sideloading apps on ios.
there's no easy way to do it, don't worry nobody is good at it
thanks
Besides the alternative app store zones, itās really futile to sideload and jailbreak iPhones anyway
Like shovelling snow in a blizzard
true
Best just to get an Android device (for now)
yes, i agree, i did jailbreak a iPhone 7 though before.
since its still iOS 15.
Yeh just best to get android if you reallt want sideloafing shit
"Sideloading" the word of the enemy
Sideloafing
DTNS is live discussing Apple Shitā¢
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhphLYsjfOg
got the beta on ipad and iphone btw
its sooo good holy shit
my iphone 13 got like 30% faster and some weird bugs with the camera got fixed
Yeah, good sign for this release
? Sideloadly? Can't be more easy than that I would say?

I hope itās just a temporary bug. I use that all the time.
Yeah, double click isnāt working
Iāll report it
Remind me so I am clear with the report. It shows the open apps/latest apps in a list, right?
