If you hear anyone moaning about the recent #Apple price hike, please make it clear to them that this is *entirely* because of people paying to have ChatGPT lie to them or creating buckets of AI slop for their unfunny Facebook posts.

#Apple brings 8 new #emojis plus some security fixes. Takes 10.17 GB. Will download several hours. This leads nowhere. #Enshittification
And nobody is surprised.

Has anyone been playing around with macOS 27 (“Golden Gate”) Public Beta 2? How is it for quirks, hitches, stability?
I accidentally upgraded* to macOS 26 last night, everything is bubbly and terrible and I hate it, and I'm willing to consider getting on the beta train this time around.
* not so sure about the “up” part

Das iPhone wird teurer. Nicht weil Apple mehr verdienen will — natürlich nicht. Sondern weil KI-Rechenzentren die Speicherchips wegfressen. Tim Cook nennt das „unvermeidlich". Man könnte es auch schlicht Kollateralschaden der KI-Euphorie nennen. @… #Apple

Another day, another annoying #Apple bug. My Apple Watch running 26.5 is unable to clear the notification stack. That's, like, not annoying at all. Not even one bit. I suppose it beats my older Apple Watch with zero apps installed and no media transferred (and a recent complete reset) which keeps saying I need to uninstall applications to install an update. Can I have a nice Linux watch wit…
Today reminder that #Apple macOS Spotlight is a piece of shit.
1. I have disabled & deleted all indexes. Because they are broken.
2. Spotlight still shows some results. How? Where are they coming from?
3. I am fairly sure Spotlight auto-corrupts its own index when encountering some errors.
Last, good luck reporting this issue or getting any help on it.

nice walk down memory lane. I believe my earliest experience with MacOS was System 7.5.3 so a little past the revelation of 7.0 but still far enough back that I remember stuff like Conflict Catcher, using AppleScript for everything, the controversy of Copland and the sad reign of Gil Amelio before Jobs returned.

Okay, schon wild das Apple jetzt den 256GB Base MacMini M4 nicht mehr anbieten. Damit ist der beste non-Laptop Deal nicht mehr ganz so attraktiv.
Oder halt schnell noch im Abverkauf bei den Händlern hamstern. #apple

That made me check my Apple Watch model (couldn't remember). Turns out I have a series 7, bought in 2021. It's 5 years old. I had no idea, I still thought of it as "almost new"

Programmed entirely in #Applesoft #BASIC on a vintage 1979 Apple ][ with 48K of RAM, a computer so old it has no hard drive or mouse and only types in capitals.
You can download the code and run it yourself as well.
Upgrading my 7yo Samsung S10 to an S26, went perfectly first try, everything right in place on the new phone.
Upgrading my wife's iPhone SE to a 17Pro - over an hour of watching it get stuck and start over before finally discovering the BRAND NEW PHONE needed a software update before the transfer could work.
What a pathetic fail, Apple! How many customers are going to be stuck with a trip back to the store?
Wow. Wanted to update the OS on my old iPad Mini running 26.4.2. Pressing the update button brings up the familiar "enter your code" window, but... no keyboard. I tried force quitting Settings and a full reboot, but nope... no way to enter the code to update from this OS. Bravo, #Apple

Plenty of bad and annoying things about Apple and iCloud in particular, but one good experience I've always had is if I buy something on the App Store or a subscription or anything through the Apple Store, and then ask for a refund within a few hours or days, they pretty much always refund it in full within 24 hours of the request.
It makes doing things like trying out a bit of software... realizing I don't like it or it doesn't do what I want... and ‘giving it back' much easier.

Bemerkenswerter Deal: Laut Google-Cloud-Chef Thomas Kurian im Handelsblatt läuft die neue Siri auf einem Gemini-Ableger — inklusive „Private Cloud Compute". Apple, dessen Markenkern Datenschutz ist, vertraut sensible Anfragen ausgerechnet einem direkten Konkurrenten an. Digitale Souveränität sieht eigentlich anders aus. #Handelsblatt

Tumult macOS Plugin Announcement
#mastodon #tumult #zsh
If you're using a Mac, check out https://
github.com/unixorn/tumult.plugin.zsh
It's a collection of scripts I've accumulated over the years that lets you control some of your Mac's behavior from the CLI.
You don't need a ZSH framework to use it - the framework code just adds the repo's bin directory to your $PATH automatically. If you're not using a framework, add it's bin directory to your $PATH.

Die Kinder wissen, dass #Siri dumm ist und beömmeln sich darüber, was für witziger Quatsch passiert, wenn sie Siri was fragen.
Also macht #Apple ja jetzt Gemini überall rein und dann wird das alles in Ordnung kommen.
ODER?
Heute morgen habe ich die Kids beobachtet, wie sie (den Sprachmodus von) chatGPT 5.5 verarscht haben.

Oh now this is the best tech news I have heard for awhile…. Is a Mega-Enron situation about to happen to a bunch of the Magnificient Seven?
“Like Enron, they’re using special purpose vehicles, or off-balance sheet arrangements such as legally distinct subsidiaries, as a way to make their financial reporting look healthier than it actually is — often a glaring sign that something is deeply amiss behind the scenes.”
Also… is this why Apple effectively outsourced its AI, rather than build its own. If so, it could be the smartest tech hedge of the century.

Thinned the 🍏 apples from the blushing delight today. It is doing really well. The tree is healthy and growing.
The northern spy has had a much rougher spring. It was infested with caterpillars until we safer-soaped it three times and so it just never got a good start. It is also in a more challenging location more exposed to the wind and rain. Only had a few blossoms and now no fruit. But it is still alive. I will try to nurse it through the summer and get it to winter. Hopefully next year it has a better go!
But the Blushing Delight is looking great. We should get over a dozen apples again!
