Apple maakt prachtige producten maar de mythe dat de privacy beter is geborgd bij deze leverancier mag van mij wel van tafel, anders hoor ik graag welke juridische waarborgen er zijn, externe audits van hun infra, data opslag en gegevensbescherming waar ik kennis van kan nemen etc. Overigens zelf Google gebruiker waar de situatie net zo slecht is, maar we moeten wel de feiten blijven benoemen.

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

"...we will introduce additional controls to ensure that users who genuinely wish to grant an app this extraordinary level of access can only do so with very explicit user action. Addressing this is critical. As AI agents become increasingly capable and autonomous, the risks associated with this level of access will grow substantially."
I don't want ANY app to have full acccess to my Mac drive! SECURITY over convenience! Lock it DOWN! Exception: Backup apps. Maybe!

Picking time! 🍎 🍇
I have been so focused on the #poolpond and #greenhouse the past three months that I haven't posted about the fruit trees in a long time!
We also haven't had time to pick our apples from our amazing and very happy Blushing Delight apple tree bought at Walmart of all places!
Did that just now. The apples are huge and beautiful and so tasty!
Our other apple tree, the northern spy, had a much rougher go this year. It was damaged by rutting deer last year and I think that really set it back.
It had a hard time waking up this spring and only set a few flowers and produced just one apple compared to the previous year when it produced a ton like the other tree.
It struggled through the dry summer as much as I could water it.
It has a few new leaves popping out this month and one hopeful bunch of flowers, but I worry about it next year! Fingers crossed it gets through the El Niño winter!
The plum tree in the back is doing great. We got a few plums, should get a lot
more next year. Ill give it a good pruning to decide what direction it grows but it has started well!

#Apple account services may be having some problems.
Tim Cook geht, John Ternus kommt – und laut WiWo-Autor Matthias Hohensee ist der neue Apple-Chef der Typ, der auch als CEO lieber im Großraumbüro sitzen würde. Ein Ingenieur an der Spitze eines Billionen-Konzerns, der Understatement für eine Führungsqualität hält. Ob das in der KI-Ära reicht, muss sich erst noch zeigen.

Apple verspricht bei der Audio Intelligence Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung und rein lokale Verarbeitung – nur lässt sich das laut @… von außen nicht überprüfen, weil Hard- und Software geschlossen bleiben. Und erst kürzlich hat Apple still die eigene Regel „kein KI-Training mit Nutzerdaten" zur Opt-out-Voreinstellung gemacht. #Datenschutz #Apple #KI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyxYEYsNUn4

Das Praktische an der neuen Apple Watch: Sie merkt sich, was man den ganzen Tag über gesagt hat. Das Unpraktische: auch, was alle anderen gesagt haben.

cleaning stuff up around the yard.
Just realized I can leave the hose here for filling up the pool pond. Sort of just integrate it into the overflow it'll get covered by grass and stuff eventually anyway. The one in the front yard for the pandemic pod is almost invisible now

starting Sunday off by cleaning the stream in the #pandemicpond. as it has naturalized one of the things that is both a blessing and a curse is moss!

Wracając do konferencji #Apple to raczej nie pokazało na niej urządzeń dla mnie... poza jednym. Nowe #AirPods5.
Uwielbiam moje AirPods 4, ale szalenie brakuje mi w nich tej możliwości regulacji głośności jak w AirPods Pro 3, które są moim drugim zestawem słuchawkowym.
Tylko czy ta jedna funkcja jest warta wydania kolejnych 699 zł? 🤔

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.

BTW zdaje się, że zostałem deweloperem aplikacji mobilnych na urządzenia #Apple 😅 Zarzekałem się, że nigdy nie zapłacę tej drakońskiej opłaty rocznej w wysokości 429 zł za konto deweloperskie, ale użytkownicy trochę mnie przymusili. Dzisiaj wysłałem moją pierwszą w życiu (w #AppStore) aplikację do procesu #review.
Last #backyardProject post of the weekend. The master builder came over and cut up our last piece of plastic. To use in the doors. He’s working on the doors in his shop.
I moved a huge pile of wood and conbined it with the new scraps and also put a whole bunch in the trailer to go to the dump 🥵
But the last part of the pond that had not been trimmed is now trimmed!

It costs creators in bandwidth/CPU as money, and all of us as climate change. It would take a few hours of engineering time to improve this by (say) orders of magnitude.
That's probably how at least one person out there discovered that Apple has a new CEO lol

first section done!
the bin is about 1/4 full. (I think it holds 40gal?) #poolpond #greenhouse #apple #gardening #bloomscroll #diy #harvest
grapes picked! not a whole lot on the bottom vines as those are just new the past year since we trimmed everything way back when we redid the fence last fall.
Bin is not quite full. Will be plenty for a dozen or more jars of juice!

the deck is cleared! A fair amount on the ground but 🤷♂️ what can ya do :) The bin is about half full! Not quite as
many as last year I think, but that was expected as we trimmed the vine and encouraged it to lengthen over the whole deck this year. A couple of branches have nearly made it to the end! It
should be basically fully
covered next year!
#poolpond #greenhouse #apple #gardening #bloomscroll #diy #harvest
do you do the hard part of a job first, or last. I am a first, kind of guy. So the big ladder is out to get the tall part of the arbour and over the stairs.
The nice thing about the arbour is it is sort of split up into quadrants. Makes it feel like you have are making progress as each one gets cleared!
I need to work on my aim. I also can't eat too many of these grapes, they are So sweet and so juicy that they kind of are too much 😂.
Will make excellent juice tho!! (they are not the right kind for wine, and I don’t trust my skills for that anyway 🍷 🤪)
#poolpond #greenhouse #apple #gardening #bloomscroll #diy #harvest
remember our little arbutus tree? It is not little! It is probably 12ft tall now and I am managing it so it can have a long trunk up beside the fence and then leaf and branch out above it! It is such a beast but so beautiful. I love arbutus trees!!
Today's main chore is to pick all of the grapes. 🍇 Mainly purple concord grapes that I will juice tomorrow! They can't sit picked for more than a day or they start to go bad, especially with how late we are picking them!
And I would be remiss if I did not mention the biggest tree we have! The hazelnut has come through all the disturbance in the backyard really well. It was and is absolutely pakced with nuts. The birds and squirrels and raccoons and humans have all had a go.
I am really looking forward to next year when all of these trees get much less disturbance and much more love and attention! ❤️
never really thought of myself as a gardener, but the pandemic, and my age, has helped that along i guess. :)

General #iOS question that I could ask Google but don’t feel like feeding their AI this morning….
Is there a wholesale way to turn of all notifications and/or app tracking settings on all apps at once?
It would be nice to be able to do this every once in a while so that you can be purposeful/very selective on what is enabled, and what is not.

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.
