apple
I thought Apple went from #iOS whatever to iOS 26 to make it streamline with the years of release but current we’re on 27.2 and 2026 is still going
They should really stop chasing trends and just put some f-ing effort into their hard- & software
Do better #Apple
This is why you should never be kind to a Tech Bro and mock them as much as you can. https://techcrunch.com/2026/09/09/the-hinge-for-apples-new-foldable-phone-was-built-with-ai/ #Apple
Twenty five years ago today I started the #Safari and #WebKit projects at #Apple Computer.
Which means Safari is now old enough to rent itself a car. But let's not speculate about my age.
I'm still sad I can't use Safari on my Windows PC. Alas, I lost the battle to keep it there. But at least WebKit's DNA seeded or influenced most browsers we use today.
And I'm proud of that impact. Along with the wonderful team I built who made it all happen. Here's to another 25, friends.
Cheers. 🥂😊💖

So, check out this useful “Compare Mac Models” page (h/t @gruber). Scroll down to the “Compute” and compare the stats. Go on, do it, I’ll wait. See anything that makes you go WTF?!? I did.
#Apple rejects games of my because they think it's not "original" enough while they do allow crypto malware..
All my apps on iOS are FREE because I don't want Apple to take anymore money besides my 100,- dev fee each year

Tonight's build is likely destructive to any existing books but it's a one time issue because....
*drumroll*
...Bookpulse has iCloud syncing between Macs now!
Widgets too!
I Immediately stopped all subscriptions after reading this. Fuck this. No, you never get to guilt me about ending my subscription. Fuck you to the highest order if you use this as a developer. https://www.macrumors.com/2026/11/04/app-store-subscription-retention/ #Apple
SARCASM. I absolutely love iOS 27 as a blind VoiceOver user. I get fantastic announcements such as. Unspeakable English text. Unspeakable French text. Unrecognizable Chinese symbol. Unrecognizable Japanese symbol. That annoying voiceover image inspector also hasn't been removed and is constantly in the way when I'm trying to perform an action rather than get details of a described image. You can see this most clearly in the Apple podcast app. Go to an episode and swipe through the rotor actions. That incredibly annoying inspect image action get in the way of performing an action on the episode. I checked in the actions settings in the VoiceOver settings and this cannot be removed to the best of my knowledge. If you know how to remove these annoying attempts at interpretation, let me know how to remove them. #Apple #Disability #Blind
I could be tempted to buy a new Mac, would like to upgrade to 16", the nonreflective glass is tempting and the lighter weight a big bonus. The upgrade price would be reasonable, but I need the 4T disk and holy jumping jesus, that almost doubles the price… another good reason to wait for the AI bubble to pop.
The 10th annual Unsplash awards are running until 31st October 🏆
I've got 24 entries in the Architecture category. 22 in Experimental and 2 in Nature.
But most surprisingly, this is one of ten photos the Unsplash community can vote on for Photo of the Year 🎉
No chance of winning, but it looks like it's the only iPhone/mobile shot to make the list (although a couple have no EXIF data).
Enjoy your Friday ☕️☀️
Back in 2024. It all started with weird connections to OVHcloud from Apple Mail with no external sources loaded. Later on, both my hardware security keys failed simultaneously. #apple required a printed invoices of online hardware purchases. 4000 euro loss on hardware alone, all my data AND software. Never looked back for apple hardware, that is. 30 years customer. System 7 adopter. Picture that. I recovered my #steam account. #Windows user now.

We're getting close to launch!
Today's build includes the ability to favorite videos, as well as a totally reworked system for how the library is displayed.
Custom fonts were casualty of this build. They were just too buggy and inconsistent, so maybe someday.
Still some space left in the #Testflight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/8y3B9cp1
My Black & White iPhone Photography Process 🖤🤍
Over the last few months, I’ve tweaked and refined my iPhone photography formats and tools. For black and white, I’ve landed on a process that I’m really rather happy with.
New on the blog 👇🏻

For a long time we have made our selves gradually more and more dependent on Big Tech. This applies when it comes to operating system, to browsers, to various services, to storage and now when it comes to AI.
More and more are realizing this was and is wrong.
You can take the first steps to be independent as a person or company. Obviously, given that you are here, you have already taken some steps. Here are some suggestions:
1. Switch browser... to Vivaldi. :)
2. Switch desktop OS. Personally I have switched to Linux. Currently running Kubuntu, Ubuntu and Zorin on different computers.
3. Switch mail service. Proton and Fastmail are good services, but there are others. Choose one that allows use of a mail client.
4. Switch calendar service. Most mail services also offer a calendar service.
5. Switch office package. Personally I use LibreOffice.
6. Switch Web conferencing software. Personally I use Whereby.
7. Switch search. Startpage, Ecosia, Qwant and DDG are great alternatives.
There are a lot of other great choices. The point is to start taking those steps away from Big Tech and Silicon Valley.

As mentioned before, my employer has banned the Meta "Pervert" Glasses at work. Now they've also banned the new Apple Watch.
Well done!
