Instagram just refreshed its wordmark. That gave me an idea: people already call it โ€œIGโ€, so why not make it a part of the icon? Here's a quick version for fun, with the G doubling as the lens

New in Claude Code: your sessions can now message each other. Instead of having to re-explain yourself in another session, you can now tell Claude to do it. It sends a summary (not your history or files), and the other session picks it up mid-task.

Samsung Fold 8 as an on-the-go agent terminal is pretty compelling. What a delightful form factor.

121,654 $TICO HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE TICO JAR! ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿซ™ From where you might ask? Well we did promise that any amount of TICO tokens we collect from suspended cheaters/multi accounts we will share back to the community - and this is what we just did! Some dormant 15+ months early accounts decided to "wake up". Back then we did not have all the multi-layered systems in place to detect all the different types of fraudulent behaviour. Upon their reactivation, all the alarms went off ๐Ÿง. To turn this into a TICO-Frenzy-Feast ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿค‘, the Activity Points you get per played Room will increase from +0.5 to +1.5, only for this week! For those that are not yet on Funtico, consider this potentially a very nice "welcome bonus" if you engage this week with the platform! Participate/learn more about the TICO JAR ๐Ÿ‘‰funtico.com/tico-jar/how-it-โ€ฆ
๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ A BIG DROP of $TICO might be deployed this week to the TICO JAR! Last week a lot of "hard working" cheaters were busted! Stay tuned for the announcement and have a great week ahead ๐Ÿซก

Infinity Warp Update - Rebalancing Time! ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ”ฅ Truth be told, even the dev himself behind @InfiniWarp could not finish all levels of his own game (lol!), so some rebalancing had to be done! Now you can enjoy more levels, a higher paced progression and unlocking all the different power-ups & boosters much faster! ๐Ÿš€ ๐ŸšจImportant - all the open Rooms have been closed and everyone got refunded, so you can enjoy the new update. Also, the Weekly Tournaments will be featuring the latest changes as well! Play now -> funtico.com/games/infinity-wโ€ฆ Full update log -> rockingames.fr/warpmarked/chโ€ฆ
