Having accepted a suggested MacOS upgrade to 26.5 (Tahoe) I now find that Preview crashes constantly when annotating PDFs. It's happened 4 or 5 times in 15 minutes when reviewing a paper. Is it just me? Or a general problem with this release. Seems like terrible testing if a general problem.

“(Software architecture) reviews are like watching a play about architecture- with interesting characters” @ewolff.com at @amaconf.bsky.social. So true! Particularly the part about interesting characters 😀
