🔗 Russell Brand charged with new rape and sexual-assault crimes. - this link is 🍎 News - just sharing because Brand is - and always has been a total douche.

🖇️🔎 Me in a series of posts in 2023

But most importantly 🔗 the BBC earlier this year

The BBC has apologised to staff who felt they could not speak up with concerns about Russell Brand’s behaviour because he was seen as “too influential” and they felt he “would always get his way and therefore they stayed silent”.

But Robin Ince? Fire🔗 the fucker.

All this comes to mind as I watch the emerging BBC/Trump case.

Take Apple News vs iBooks - they’re both reading apps, so why is it necessary to have two separate apps? Because they’re extremely different reading and writing experiences and it doesn’t make sense to lump them into a one-size-fits-all approach.

Nailed it and why I don’t';

  • read
    • pdfs in 🍎 Books
    • saved articles in a browser
  • listen to podcasts
    • in a music app
    • on YouTUBE

BUT anything I highlight, save, make a note on/in ANY of the things I am reading, watching or listening to all ends up in the same place.

Holy Crap

I have been so fed up with the slug that my M4 Mac had become around saving files - removing ‘moonlock’ and ‘clean my mac’, stopping electron files from running - firing up terminal commands as if my life depended on it. NADA.

So with a quick hail mary I jumped on to the 26.2 public beta (with the same joy and spirit as I did when I did something similar with 26.1 - and got no change …)

and yet …

… yet …

Here I am - a man no longer tortured - and what seems to be a massive upgrade in performance that 🍎 never - ever - fessed up to.

Let’s see if it holds.

Trouble shooting two totally different problems on two totally different macs with two totally different user accounts and after constant narrowing down of the issues in those worlds - BOTH come down to the user - login as a different user .. the issue is not there …

  • Problem 1 - MSoft Office crashes and hangs
  • Problem 2 - a stuttering mouse on any browser if going through Bluetooth

FTW 🍎❓

The logo in my email signature in 🍎📧 just stopped rendering earlier this week. Took until today to work out what was wrong - noting that I hadn’t changed anything.

As of this morning … fixed - though no idea why it stopped working to begin with.

🔗📼😂 I know exactly how Kevin feels.

The gods giveth and taketh away.

Overall a fan of the liquid world - BUT (because there always has to be one) - why take away the big, bold volume and brightness indicators? Nothing like fumbling in the dark mid-Netflix to remind you that 🍎 is far from perfect.

This morning’s song on rotate … 🎵🍎🔗 Thankyou Jarvis

I have settings throughout iPhone pointing at UK - not US .. but still I get US spelling recommendations. Just looked at Keyboard - noting it was US — and thought that would fix it - but apparently 🍎 thinks there is only one English language.

Or I am doing something wrong?

I like the idea of categorisation in 🍎 email and the 4 categories make sense to 🗂️ BUT sure would like the ability to add a couple more of my own. #EdgeCaseAgain
