Did Dia remove the suggestions in the new tab bar?
I used to get those little prompts for things to do, but now they’re gone.
Anyone else noticing this, or is it just me?
The new Mississauga LRT train finally moved on its own for the first time after they turned on the power lines above the tracks at the maintenance yard. It’s a big deal because it means the Hazel McCallion Line is getting closer to actually being up and running.
I’ve used Wispr Flow daily, and the quality has clearly dropped compared to a month ago.
Yes, it’s faster now. But I never used Wispr for speed. If I wanted speed, I’d use any other transcription tool. They’re all fast, and I can even run fast transcription on-device. Speed was never my concern.
What made Wispr special was the unprecedented accuracy. First-pass wording and punctuation I didn’t have to fix. That’s the whole reason I paid for it, and that’s what got worse.
I emailed support and got a reply from their AI bot suggesting I narrow my language list and add words to my dictionary. That’s meaningless when the model itself regressed. I attached an image of the useless response I got.
Just revert whatever change pushed the speed/accuracy balance too far. I’ll happily take a little more latency for the accuracy that made this app worth using.
Can we get real answers from the team, not a bot? Anyone else seeing this?
I live in the Toronto suburbs, so I’m not complaining, but I’ve noticed Toronto seems way overrepresented here compared to other cities with great skylines.
Why does r/skyscrapers feel like a Toronto photo gallery lately?
Is it because the city is genuinely booming and adding towers at a crazy pace, or are there just a lot of Ontario photographers posting here?
Every second post feels like it’s either a new condo tower, the CN Tower, or another skyline angle.
What’s the deal?
Toronto’s skyline plays it way too safe. It’s mostly glass and beige boxes, and we could use towers with real character instead of the same uniform look repeated over and over. I want buildings that are bold, distinctive, and a little dramatic. “Evil” is the quick way to say it, like Brooklyn Tower (9 DeKalb), that near-black art-deco spire, but really it’s about having something with a strong identity that makes the skyline ours.
A few spots where something like that could work:
Curious where people think a building with real personality would land best, and whether any local projects already scratch this itch.
For a long time I kept a plain checklist. Crossing off a line never felt like much, so my list kept growing while my motivation dropped. The Notes app had the same issue for me. It held my tasks fine, but it didn’t help me actually move through them.
Since Craft added Kanban in April, I’ve switched to that. Each day I work in my daily note and move tasks across three columns: To Do, In Progress, and Done.
Most of it is just fun to do. I can see what I have coming up, move a card over to start it, and look at what I’ve already done, instead of feeling buried by one long list. The In Progress column helps the most. Dragging a card into it feels like real progress, and that small bit of momentum keeps me going.
For me, moving a card to Done beats crossing off a line. It’s kept me on track better than Notes ever did, at least so far.
Curious if anyone else runs their day this way.
Mistral OCR is arguably the most advanced OCR model out there right now, and yet I can’t find a single Mac app or Raycast extension that connects to it. That seems like a huge miss.
OCR on Mac is still stuck with the same standard built-in option, which is fast, very reliable but super limited. It even handles images, but an extension that skips that and just gives Markdown would also be totally fine.
My current workflow is clunky:
That’s a lot of swiping between tabs for something that should be one shortcut. A simple menu-bar app or Raycast extension that sends a screenshot to Mistral OCR and drops clean Markdown on my clipboard would be incredible. Has anyone built this, or is anyone interested in building it?

On Beta 27 my 3D maps in Toronto dropped to flat 2D, while NYC got a beautiful new 3D look. A few cities seem to be getting the upgrade first, and everywhere else is just a flat map for now.
Apple rebuilt the 3D view in iOS/macOS 27, and the new look is gorgeous, with detailed trees, buildings, and even light reflecting off glass. It runs really smoothly too, even on older phones. But it’s only switched on in some places so far, with a lot of California live and probably a list somewhere for the rest. Here's what the new version looks like.
My question: why is it 2D in most cities right now instead of keeping the old 3D until the new version arrives? And does anyone know which cities are next? Apple hasn’t said. The full rollout is expected this fall.

During the keynote, they announced that the Find My app was getting a complete redesign. This is how it looks in macOS 27. IMO, it’s way better.
In macOS 26, the Liquid Glass navbar had a bit of a notched feel. The active highlight bar really wanted to morph and snap to each individual tab as it moved between them; the bubble would slide from notch to notch.
This new version doesn’t do that, and it feels so much cleaner and it’s no longer magnetic.
More apps are going to get this design, and I kinda love it. It’ll work great in apps where the navigation is on the sidebar.
Interestingly, other Apple apps haven’t been designed to incorporate this yet. What do you guys think?

Quick note: nobody’s paying me for this, and the developer doesn’t know I’m posting it. Just a user sharing thoughts.
I’ve been using Clicky, made by the same person behind FreeWrite. It’s another AI app, but more useful than most because it works with your screen. Instead of just giving you text to read, it has a cursor that points at the right spot and shows you what to do.
To be fair, it takes a bit longer to respond after it looks at your screen, as seen in the video. But the app is only a month old, and as AI models get faster, that should improve.
There’s a free plan, but I used it up in about two hours, so I paid for pro at around $20 a month.
A few uses stood out:
They all share one problem. Hard software is rough at the start, and when you’re new, just knowing where to look next wears you out. An app that teaches you how to use other apps sounds funny, but I think it could be really handy.
Anyone here used it for teaching or training? Curious if it holds up.
I saw a video about a new TTC system for reporting bad behavior on transit, and I wanted to share it here.
The original had a few issues, so I cleaned it up before posting. The audio only played in the right channel, so I balanced it across both. There were no captions, so I added subtitles with proper punctuation. The audio was also peaking and distorting in spots, so I fixed that too.
I think a system like this could be useful if it actually works reliably. Not as a way to monitor people for the sake of it, but as a simple nudge to treat each other better on shared transit. That’s the part I like about it.
Anyway, hope some of you find it helpful.
The YMCA at City Centre Dr and Confederation Pkwy is being replaced by a five-tower condo development. The Y is already moving into Square One, so the land is being sold off. I’m sure that’s tough for people who’ve been going there for years.
I think it could be good for the area, but only if the units are actually livable. A 750 sq ft minimum would be reasonable. Anything smaller and you’re just stacking shoeboxes. It also might not happen anytime soon, since the condo market is slow and immigration numbers have been cut.
Design-wise, I think the current plan looks pretty generic. I put together an alternative that keeps the same density but has a warmer style with more detail at street level. That’s the second image attached.
For background:
Pretty cool to see the platform canopies going up on Robert Speck Parkway for the Hazel LRT. Perhaps an opening date before 2030 isn't wishful thinking.
I am curious how they’ll manage to build the downtown loop while still keeping the line running. From what I’ve seen, construction on that stretch has been moving along, but fitting in a full loop through the City Centre area seems like it’ll be tricky with everything else going on around there.
Saw this posted on X, so I thought I’d share it here. x.com/_NickMorrison/status/2064453494464033244
If you’re trying to install Golden Gate and getting the error that says "please check your internet connection," your internet is probably fine. The real issue is that SIP (System Integrity Protection) is turned off on your Mac.
Here’s how to fix it:
csrutil enable and hit Enter.If you ever disabled SIP for things like kernel extensions or system tweaks, that’s probably what’s blocking the install. macOS doesn’t actually tell you that, it just shows a misleading network error. Ran into this myself and it took a bit to figure out, so hopefully this saves someone some time.
I asked Dia to help me build a presentation and it outputted a really professional slide deck. 18 pages with clean typography, data visualizations, timelines, and a consistent layout, with the ability to request edits for specific parts.
If you haven’t tried asking Dia to make a presentation yet, you should. The quality is a step above what I’ve gotten from other tools.
Mississauga is asking for feedback this month on two big community builds:
Both have surveys open now (June 2026). Glad the City is being proactive here. Downtown density will double in 15 years, and Cooksville is getting an LRT stop, so the timing is right.
What I think these builds should include that most older Mississauga libraries don’t have:
For design language, I’d love to see them follow what Hazel McCallion Central Library did after its renovation:
Oakville’s New Central Library (opening 2030) is another good reference point. They’re building it around the creek with outdoor patios, flexible community space, and a Creation Zone.
Give your feedback here:
What do you look forward to the libraries including
The Scarborough Busway opens this September on the old Line 3 right-of-way, running north-south alongside the GO Stouffville line. But once the Scarborough Subway Extension opens around 2030, what should happen to this corridor?
Keep it for buses: Scarborough lacks north-south rapid transit for now. Perhaps permanently keeping this as a dedicated, grade-separated bus corridor is too valuable to abandon. There could be potential to be integrated in express routes or feed the new subway stations, way faster than buses on Midland or Birchmount.
Emergency/maintenance road only: The subway will handle the heavy demand. Save on operating costs and maybe convert part of it to a multi-use trail, emergency vehicles only, or just GO maintenance vehicles?
What’s your take?
I’ve been trying to follow the Bill 212 appeal and I’m curious what people think a favorable ruling would actually mean in practice.
The original decision was pretty clear. The government’s own experts said removing bike lanes on Bloor, University, and Yonge wouldn’t reduce congestion, and the court found the only evidence the government provided was from a consulting firm who quoted induced demand would make negligible difference to travel times.. But the province instead passed new bills to go further and block any new bike lanes that involve road reconfigurations.
So even if the appeal court agrees with the original ruling, I’m not sure what changes on the ground. Would the city be able to start building new protected lanes again, or does the 2025 law just replace what was struck down? From what I can tell, someone would probably need to challenge the new law separately, but I could be wrong.
I guess what I’m really asking is whether a win here actually opens the door for new infrastructure, or if the province has already moved the goalposts.
