@luana@wetdry.worldI need feedback from someone who's on iPad on whatever is the latest iOS 26 version: Did they bring back Split View to Fullscreen mode?
(I'm on iOS 18.0 since I use Split View and Slide Over)
I know they brought Slide Over back, but what about Split View? It's fucking dumb they removed it but I'm not updating without being sure lmao

@gadgetboy@gadgetboy.socialAre you like me and avoiding MacOS 26 Tahoe and iOS 26 like the plague?
Opt-in to the beta programs for each of the previous version in Settings > General. Your Mac and iPhone/iPad will stop asking you to upgrade to the latest versions and you'll automatically receive security updates for Sequoia and iOS 18, respectively. You're welcome.

@ellie@ellieayla.netI regularly drag my feet on some upgrades, but this is getting a bit ridiculous. I'm using an iPhone 13 Mini because my tiny hands can't hold the giant phablets. And iOS 18.7.2, because I hate the AI junk crammed into everything and don't want nauseating translucent UI effects. But there's a lot of security bugs lately that might demand something to change. Uggghh.
I wish portable pocket computers were less capable and had more battery life.

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caWow, so 1Password has increased its already expensive services. I have only used it for work/volunteer related stuff. I've been using Apple's Keychain and now Passwords App for years.
If you're on a Mac/iOS system and want to switch, 9to5 has a good run down on how to export your 1Password database and bring it into Passwords.
if you've never used a Password Manager, you really really should.

@digitalnaiv@mastodon.social„Komfort“ nennt Bastian Gruber das Apple-Ökosystem – und zerlegt es als strukturelle Abhängigkeit: alles hängt an der Apple-ID. Sein Gegenentwurf: Self-Hosting.

@leftsidestory@mstdn.social @nohillside@smnn.chThe 8 GB RAM might very well be the biggest downside of the Neo. But then, with current RAM prices, it also keeps the machine affordable.

@al3x@hachyderm.ioSpotlight on my #macos #Tahoe keeps crashing because it encounters some issue inside its index. A central piece of software crashes continuously at its own fault. Great exemple of resiliency in #Apple software.
Fear not. It’s not the only example. @… has a post with reports about Time Machine. That other central piece of macOS software.
Even if these issues are affecting a small number of customers, they reveal a critical lack of quality in the software Apple ships. Unfortunately with very few exceptions, Apple bloggers are afraid to report these issues knowing how vengeful Apple is and they’ll lose access to anything they built over years.

@compfu@mograph.socialFor the past years the #Apple app store landing page has constantly been an ad for some mobile game about kings and clans that only existed to get people to pay for in-app purchases.
Now, whenever I open the app store on my phone it's always AI crap: "Learn with ChatGPT". "Do more with Gemini".
@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caIs Apple going Adobe?
Say it isn't so!
Update:
It looks like they have gone to subscription model to access the “Pro” apps (FCP, Motion, Logic, Mainstage, Compressor, Pixelmator)
But the original “iWork" apps are still free. Pages, Keynote, Numbers (and by extension iMovie though it is not included in the "Creator Studio” presumably because it ships with every Mac)
That said... and yes... this is how they get you… the annual subscription for everything is "only” $180/yr or $18/mo plus Family Sharing privleges.
That goes down to $40/yr and $4/mo if you do the Educational license, but no family provisions.

@rasterweb@mastodon.socialI cleaned up the old Apple keyboard (removed all keys, removed all crumbs, reassembled) and first, I’m surprised how much larger it is than the newer version…
Second, it’s so mushy. I can’t use it, it feels terrible to type on!
I’m going to try a Kisnt KN85 this week and we’ll see how that feels.

@al3x@hachyderm.ioGuess what? Folder Automation using Shortcuts in Tahoe sounds amazing.
Indeed, the moment I wanted to do something really useful it stopped working. No errors. No logs. No feedback.
Does it sound like #Apple software quality? Yes, it does.
@digitalnaiv@mastodon.socialDie nächste Siri-Generation basiert auf Googles Gemini-Technologie, läuft aber laut Apple in der eigenen Private-Cloud-Infrastruktur. Apple verspricht: keine Datenweitergabe an Google, trotzdem große KI-Power. Ob das Vertrauen schafft oder nur gut klingt, bleibt offen.

@bici@mastodon.social @al3x@hachyderm.ioIf #Apple does not know how to implement push-based sync (aka automatic sync), which is obvious by now that they do not, at least the apps should provide a “Sync now" action.
I am staring at Journal app on the #macOS #Tahoe and it does not want to sync the latest entry from the iPhone even if that entry was created over 1 hour ago.
@rasterweb@mastodon.socialI'm really liking MacDown 3000 for editing and viewing Markdown files on macOS. Especially the ability to customize the style sheets.
#macOS
@aral@mastodon.ar.alI’ve turned off automatic updates on my Mac to ensure I don’t run into the same bullshit with the automatic iOS 26 update on the phone and I suggest you do the same.
Keep the security updates toggle on, though.
First time I’ve had to take such action in about two decades of owning a Mac.

You don't need a ZSH framework to use it - the framework code just adds the repo's bin directory to your PATH automatically

There is no official information on this.
There are a few SO /SE posts about sometimes working, mostly not, old URLs
@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caI just made a cool shortcut in Apple’s shortcut app on iPad!
When tapped on the Home Screen on an iPad or iPhone or an Apple Watch, it will message two people immediately.
Then it gives a choice of calling an ambulance (911) or not.
There is an “are you sure” before actually calling 911.
If no ambulance is required it sends a message just telling the people help is needed.
If it does call the ambulance it texts the people that too.
…. I have been playing with Apple scripting since old MacOS days. love that it lives on and just gets more powerful with all the apps that we can tap into now.
So easy! And doing things that can truly improve, even save, lives. This is what computers should do.

@al3x@hachyderm.ioI hope all #Apple bloggers to praise able for the incredible innovation they are showing by having “one of the 2 USB-C ports limited to USB 2.0" in a 2026 laptop selling for $600.
@al3x@hachyderm.ioI need help deciding between
- Evernote
- Keep It
- EagleFiler
It's a very difficult decision to make.
1. I’ve been using and paid for Evernote for years. It is available on all platforms. I am most probably using just a fraction of its features.
2. Keep It: seems to be an #Apple-centric solution. It’s still subscription based and doesn't save me very much compared to Evernote.
3. EagleFiler is #macOS only. Pay-and-own model (love it!)
@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caGod I hate how much the 'recent' folder in Apple macOS has screwed up people's knowledge of where files are stored.
Most beginning to intermediate computer users have no idea where their files are, how to find them, or how to organize them.
Also, automatically forcing people to save onto the Cloud rather than their computers in a way that automatically limits their storage capacity and degrades their user experience is wrong.
