Dismal Manor Gang#ATPFM critters opened this weeks podcast with a shoutout to Pride. A nice tag line “be who you want to be, love the one you want to love”
2026 Pride theme is “Pride for all” Straight folk too, Respect and compassion are for all.
ReidApple decided to summarize yesterdays transactions in French 🤷

Hm… I’m skepticalFrom #atpfm I heard that Claude Code's terminal app actually renders some weird html thing, and I'm reminded every time I copy-paste from a prompt into a plain text editor.
It's usually fine, but now I discover that I can't type an ñ in it (which is in my name). In fact, it doesn't accept any accented characters either. I hate to assume it's because of white anglo myopia, but
Apple Intelligence feature request:
Don’t select 10 photos every time I’m speed scrolling through a photo selection dialog.

My suspicion is that too many things are stove-piped at Infinite Loop — that teams are not collaborating and that the login process needs a rethink.
Over in Linux World, the init system insures that system services launch in dependency order. The newest init system lets you describe the prerequisites in the daemon start up specification.
MacOS login is getting as complex as system startup with all the user-land daemons that run in the title bar. BarTender, SideBar, TimeMachine, Ark, … #atpfm
ATPFM boffins carried on at length about changes to the file system since Time Machine was originally developed (like a file system change and added metadata).
In the current era, I'm using Time Machine, Ark, and BackBlaze Home for off-site.
The recurring gripe here is the usual -- that too much happens as a logged-in user and login item launch order.
Ark is starting before the SMB shares are mounted. I'm forever finding Ark streams to the shares stalled waiting for share mounts.

The other #atpfm topic that caught my ear was Time Machine. Apparently, it is getting old and needs a review.
"The main job of my computer is backing up my computer”
Amen!
Like the boys in the band, I have photos, a growing Roon library of purchased music, and tax records to preserve. And old copies of TurboTax.
I’m using Time Machine, Ark, and Backblaze home edition for some redundancy.
And the spool volumes are on TrueNAS Mini OpenZFS folumes.

Interesting. Went to link my F1TV and AppleTV accounts. To my surprise, found that my AppleTV subscription had lapsed. They only offered me the monthly sub. I had to hop over to my Subscriptions settings and re-subscribe to AppleTV to get the annual option.
Regardless, the new system is cheaper than the AppleTV+F1TV options I was paying for separately. FOR NOW.
