I’m opening 50 TestFlight spots for Iris, a new photo and video library app for Mac. It works with your existing libraries, whether they’re in Apple Photos or folders of images stored locally or on external drives.

Feedback very much appreciated.

Watching Fedi and the world react to the US president go absolutely unhinged in public, threatening war crimes as his cognitive grip disintegrates before our eyes, watching the horror and the outrage…there is something I want to tell you from Minneapolis.
And I’m not sure how, and I’m not sure if I can, but I want to try. People are always thanking us and calling us heroes and asking us for some kind of…something, anything we can offer in the face of the authoritarian march, and well, here it is, here is something, if I can figure out how to say it.

I have had no success with little USB-A to USB-C adapters and two old USB CD/DVD drives on my M2 MacBook Air or a brother's M3(?) Air: they just sit making a little chunk sound and flashing the LED.
It's weird because the drives work fine when connected through an old Satechi multi-port adapter or a UGREEN multi-port adaptor; neither have separate power. (My brother tried a different multi-port adapter which did not work.) And the small fob adapters work with a 2016 Pro and an M4 mini.
I'm at 45°N with a short growing season.
Those further south can potentially have multiple crops in rotation year-round, while I mostly can only have one crop a year for any given garden area.
The numbers will differ for different places, but this sort of calculation illustrates the difference between gardening and farming.
Someone was asking how much garden to plant to feed three people. Let's do some calculations.
In my most productive year, I grew ½ gallons of dry beans on a 10 ft long trellis. A half gallon of dry beans weighs roughly 3.5 lbs.
You need roughly 60 lbs of dry beans per person to live off of for a year. From my garden efficacy numbers, that 60 lbs could be produced on 171.43 ft of trellis. For three people, that comes to 514.29 feet of trellis.
