Which bug fixes were so important, they had to push a 0.1 update? Anybody know? I'm used to living with the .0 bugs until the .1 arrives after weeks or months, this must have been urgent! #Apple #macOS

I've got to admit, my way of dealing with enshittification is to learn not to care. If I cared as much today about some products and brands as I did a decade ago, I'd be very unhappy. Loyalty to a brand or an employer is short-sighted. Loyalty should always be towards values and people.

My hammer went rogue and started smashing people's heads in! There was nothing I could do. I tried to stop it, but my arm kept swinging it at people. It isn't my fault! It is the hammer's. This is very dangerous. Someone should regulate hammers. (This is a post about AI safety and liability.)

happy harvest moon, squad

it is a view out over rolling hills at dusk with a blue and purple sky, a full moon shining golden, and a small smattering of clouds

it is a closeup of a rock face in the golden light of the sunset, and in the background the landscape disappears off towards a distance hazy horizon. the full moon floats off in the sky, surrounded by sparse but fluffy pink clouds

it is a landscape showing a rough rocky escarpment picked out in golden light. behind it, reddish heathers cover the hillside off into the distance where a farther escarpment pokes up into the sky. in the far background, fields, rolling hills, a blue sky, a few clouds drifting about level with the highest point of the rocks

a bright sunset flares behind the silhouette of a cairn

I used to use a #Mac because of the software, despite the hardware. Now I use one because of the hardware, despite the software. OK, I want a UNIX or Linux system and Windows is NOT AN OPTION, so my choices are limited, but if @valvesoftware.com shipped an ARM laptop with #steamOS… I'd be tempted.

OK, macOS 27 looks much better than 26, but hell is it buggy! It's like #Apple used #AI for everything with no human intelligence involved at all!?! - Exposé is a mess - Music gets louder when playing an audio iMessage

Ok, I was just wondering: Why would you use a CMS to build a website if you're building one for yourself as an indie dev/designer using AI? This is purely hypothetical, my stuff is hand-crafted and runs on Kirby, but I am curious.

Does anybody know why @figma.com runs in the background after quitting it by hitting cmd+q? I've not needed it much recently, and it feels a bit creepy not knowing what it does while I don't use it. #Figma #infosec

At least in the circles I follow, there's been so much about educators leaving the space because of the various impacts of AI, but everyone is sick of the state of things. Push enough talent away, and bad things are going to happen. youtu.be/1aW7P3ZAUYw

I didn't know #Dailymotion was still around, but it just popped up in a search result. Curiosity made me click the link, and damn is that website terrible! It feels like a first-semester college project done by someone who has their first try at vibe coding but absolutely no motivation.

I haven't used #Apple Spotlight ever since installing Tiny Start about half a year ago. And this new setting in macOS 27 just grabbed my attention. Is this a way to opt-in to see ads in #Spotlight?!? Does anybody know? Maybe John Gruber or @snazzylabs.com ?

Features are more important than functionality in marketing. Functionality is more important than features in user-retention. Do you want to grow your user base and risk user churn, or keep it and risk being outgrown by the competition? Or do you have the resources to do both?

Indigo 1.3.2 is available now! It's got two great new features and a bunch of improvements and bug fixes Magic Hashtags let you pair hashtags across services, just like Magic Mentions Compact Link Previews are… smaller than the big link previews, I think that's self explanatory.

Today is the last day at my current employer. It was the first time in my life I decided to quit before I had a new opportunity, it is the first time in my life it took less than 24 hours to find a new opportunity.

#iPhoneDuo 2027 might be enough to make me sell my iPad, MacBook Pro, and iPhone 16e, and go for a MacStudio plus Duo setup. But not this year.

I'm actually liking the fixed #LiquidGlass on iPhone. I'm not running the beta on my Mac, can't judge that.

The #iPhoneDuo looks much more useful and better than I expected. Way out of my budget and I'm not buying a 1st-gen hardware product, but I like it!

The #AppleReferenceImage technology is very interesting to me! Besides adding the legally required #waterMark to #AI generated or modified images, having a proven original and a way to prove a picture is a photo is super important! Great to see this being developed!

Sherlocking those AI note taking gadgets like Pocket is interesting. I never liked those, but I see how someone might want to use those features. #AppleWatch

I really like the improved manual controls of the #iPhone camera! And the variable aperture shutter moves iPhone photography to the next level. I wonder when it'll be good enough for me to feel like replacing my Fuji. Maybe in another three years?

Today, Apple will announce a lot of shiny new things you'll want to buy. Don't do it! - Never buy a first gen product. - Never make up your mind to buy the same day you watch a keynote. Ok bye 👋

Human computer interaction is fascinating. I think it's why many people love the scenes in Star Trek with Spock in them. Tell Spock/Siri to "remind me at 7", and he/it will wake you up next morning at 7 a.m, 12 hours after you wanted to be reminded. #HCI is so much more than pretty #UI -s!

I'm learning that sometimes, scaling down when you think you already have scaled down, is surprisingly difficult. I had to take a step back, and go do other things, for four months, to see clearly and figure out what other unnecessary things were surrounding my in my digital life.

I am convinced that the #macOS Dock is best positioned at the right edge of the desktop. The displays of Macs are wide, not tall, which means the bottom edge is out of the question. Vertical space is too precious! The right edge is just next to the files on the desktop, as opposed to the left edge.

Morgen wird der vielleicht gefährlichste Tag der #Hitzewelle: 31°C bei Regen. Das wird eine sehr hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit bei über 30°C, was bedeutet, dass der menschliche Körper sich nicht durch schwitzen kühlen kann. Ihr könnt abkühlen indem ihr kalt duscht/badet & die Füße in kaltes Wasser stellt.

PSA don't buy an #iPhone with less than 12 GB of memory. It keeps closing apps while you use them, because it runs out of memory.
