💾 Ah, the riveting saga of 'Linux #Tidbits and Collecting Pebbles'—a tale of one person's journey through the mythical land of #GNU/Linux, where every pebble collected is a #kernel #recompiled. 🕵️‍♂️ Prepare yourself for a labyrinth of #UNIX #philosophies that somehow still manage to leave you... searching for the point. 🤷‍♂️

Ah, #TidBITS, the fountain of wisdom on all things #Apple, where "thoughtful, detailed coverage" means pondering the existential crisis of a word processor that may or may not exist. 🤔💻 If #Schrödinger were a software developer, he'd surely be proud of introducing more uncertainty into our lives. 🐱‍💻

Nisus Writer: Schrödinger’s Word Processor - TidBITS

The powerful word processor hasn’t seen an update in nearly a year, it has disappeared from the Mac App Store, and support responses have been slow or nonexistent for some time. There is writing on the wall, and it’s not looking good.

How To Turn Liquid Glass Into A Solid Interface from TidBITS

How To Turn Liquid Glass Into A Solid Interface is a post from Adam Angst at TidBITS might be worth bookmarking or hanging onto in some form or fashion, at least for a while.

It’s comprehensive in that the post covers what you would need to do to make changes for macOS 26, iOS 26, watchOS 26, and tvOS 26. I say for “a while” because I anticipate Liquid Glass won’t be an issue for some as time rolls on, but there are those who would just rather not use it. Either way, it’s a good reference document to have.

I’ve already posted some of my early thoughts on Liquid Glass and I’ll be posting more as time goes on. My initial views haven’t changed much. Liquid Glass isn’t really to my taste, but I’ll let in it hang around to see how it evolves throughout the year. Frankly, at this point I think Apple has bigger fish to fry in fixing these OS 26 versions.

You can also find more of my writings on a variety of topics on Medium at this link, including in the publications Ellemeno and Rome. I can also be found on social media under my name as above.

🤔🎨 Transforming liquid glass into a "solid interface" is apparently a thing now, because who doesn't want to turn their iPhone into an avant-garde art piece? 🖼️🍏 This #TidBITS article is as clear as mud, or perhaps liquid glass - either way, it's a slippery read. 💡📱

Attended a masterclass in computer backup strategies this morning with Adam Engst of TidBITS in which he ended it with a delightful, Gilbert and Sullivan themed song, I am the very model of a modern backup strategy.

Why TidBITS Will No Longer Post to X/Twitter or Facebook - TidBITS

In keeping with our desire to model the behavior we want to see in the world, we have stopped posting TidBITS to X/Twitter and Facebook in protest against the harm they cause to civil society. Many other channels remain available, including Bluesky and Mastodon.
