It’s hard to justify #macOS #Tahoe icons

Another good example how

The icons in the menu entries on #macOS Tahoe are confusing and distracting. This article explains it in detail. https://tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-icons/

There's a Mail piece with a headline that seems like people are angry at the development work on Jony Ive's home, as though he's about to drop a giant translucent Bondi Blue structure in the neighbourhood.
But the quotes are like:
> 'Initially people were worried because it is a big project and they thought it was bound to disrupt the community but they have been perfect.'

The house iPhone built: Apple icon Sir Jony Ive under fire for turning his £17million listed Cotswolds mansion into a 'James Bond lair'
When it comes to Grand Designs, Sir Jony Ive's transformation of his Cotswolds mansion is possibly the grandest of them all with work due to take three years.

Waiting for AsahiLinux to support Thunderbolt on Apple M1. It's listed in the docs as WIP. Folks will probably get it working eventually, we just don't know when. Isn't that an annoying thing to (remember to) check on occasionally?
The AsahiLinux docs are built from markdown files in a GitHub repo. Which exposes an Atom feed of commits affecting each file. So a feed reader can occasionally check #github #atom #rss #commits

Since it looks like it might be a while until the Steam Machines are released, due to market bullshit around AI malinvestment and the subsequent price of RAM, I gave up waiting and Installed Jellyfin on a temporary machine.
Jellyfin is pretty nice. I like the sync-play feature so the machines in the kitchen and bedroom and studio can all be playing the same thing. Walking between rooms and detecting which is slightly ahead, makes me smile. Watching a TV show as I cook and being able to wonder around the flat viewing uninterupted.
A bit flakey with video though. Sync failure means they all pause sometimes. Might just be the wifi signal strength I guess.
Ripped all the old archive folders of DVDs and CDs. DVDs have a quite high failure rate after fifteen years in a cupboard eh? CDs faired better.
Expect I'll buy charity shop DVDs more now. Though also expecting half of 'em won't work.
I'm listening to music a bit more now I have a one button shuffle that triggers everywhere in the flat.
I set up a ytdl-sub to copy a few youtube playlists into the TV shows folders. Keeping like the last month's worth. Some shows, like the Dust sci-fi channel say, work really well as being part of the synced TV system instead.
Also made it slurp up all my old youtube videos into a folder too, so yet another local copy of everything I made, in there with all the other ripped shows.
I have spent far too long this month fussing with directory structures and tweeking icon images and things to make it look all pretty. Enjoy that sort of thing though.

If only I had known this earlier, I might have been more enthusiastic about GenAI. 🫣
"Microsoft is paying influencers to say Copilot isn’t awful garbage that makes work miserable by, e.g., “posting an Instagram video about fun things to do with Microsoft Copilot.” [CNBC]
Microsoft and Google are spending $400,000–$600,000 per influencer."

So now that Meet.Coop isn't working (they shut down the @… instance and don't seem to be able to bring it back) wondering if anyone knows of another #privacy or #cooperative

So I was pretty enthusiastic about #DNS4EU at first.
Then I've discovered it blocklisted some random pastebin. Well, it happens. I mean, pastebins frequently get into trouble because of people pasting random shit. So I've filed an unblock request. I've suddenly got a mail to confirm registration in some random company's system — I suspect it was related to DNS4EU, but no clear indication. I've ignored it.
Then they've blocklisted my mail provider, for no apparent reason. It's still blocked. I've switched to the "unfiltered" version to be able to access my mail again.
Today I've gotten a mail via my backup MX. My main MX is up. My educated guess is that sysadmins using DNS4EU now get my mail redirected to their "site blocked" server. Isn't that great?
PS. Maybe if more people filed unblock requests for "poczta.ftdl.pl", it would help. It's a non-profit e-mail provider.

Must be kind of challenging to write such an article without mentioning that #Apple offers exactly that for a few years now …
