Bluesky backlash misses the point

techcrunch.com Sarah Perez 2026-03-20 05:27:19

Bluesky is missing an opportunity to explain to people that its network is more than just its own Bluesky social app. In recent weeks, a number of headlines and posts have surfaced questioning whether Bluesky’s growth is declining, if the network has become too much of a left-leaning echo chamber, or if its users lack a sense of humor, among other charges. Investor Mark Cuban, who even financially backed Skylight, a video app built on Bluesky’s underlying protocol, AT Proto, complained this we

Instagram adds real-time Spotify song sharing to Notes, teases grid reordering

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-20 13:11:45

Instagram is introducing a new way to share your music taste through Notes, the temporary status updates that appear above inboxes in DMs. Starting today, users can display the Spotify tracks they’re currently listening to in real time. Unlike the existing music sharing features, this update continuously reflects the current song, showing both the title and artist. It builds on Instagram’s integration with Spotify, which began last November with the introduction of an “add to Spotify” button.

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-20 21:02:37

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Meta AI users are accidentally sharing personal chats to a public Discover feed. Some users seem to think that the Share button saves chats privately. The publicly shared chats include confessions, medical info, and legal dilemmas. If you’ve ever shared something personal with Meta’s AI assistant, you might want to double-check who saw it.

Apple is salvaging Image Playground with a boost from ChatGPT

When Apple unveiled Image Playground last year, the company touted it as a quick and easy way to generate personalized, original images with the help of Apple Intelligence. Upon launch, the app was met with skepticism, as some users were disappointed by its limitations and low-quality results. For example, one Reddit user was surprised to find that Image Playground kept generating an image of a hand with six fingers when prompted to create an “up close image of a hand.” In another instance, a u
