Instagram is testing the ability to add hashtags to posts without including them in the caption. That would retain the searchability of photos and videos, but without the untidiness you get when the #caption #is #stuffed #full #of #hashtags … Separately, it’s also testing the ability to geofence posts and stories – that is, control the countries in which they will be visible. Both features were spotted by computer science student Jane Manchun Wong, who has made a name for herself digging through apps looking for such trial features....

Messages in iOS 10 even brings about a dedicated iMessage App Store for adding additional functionality such as stickers, animated GIFs and third-party app extensions that run right within the Messages app interface....

The premiere of FX’s Legion is less than two weeks away and despite its less-than-superheroish premise, it seems on track to be a fascinating spin-off of the X-Men franchise. Dan Stevens (Beauty and the Beast) plays David Haller (historically the son of Professor Charles Xavier) and a sometimes superhero, sometimes villain with not just split personalities but split sets of superpowers.

IRC is a simple but powerful protocol for text-based chat....
