@jarrod I’m liking the album so far! It has more immediate appeal than Poets, and some true bangers. 😉 Hard to imagine something more in my wheelhouse than folklore and evermore though.

@manton Looks great! Thanks!

@ChrisLawley Mine is missing too… Haven’t tried all the steps you did, but I couldn’t find the option either.

@manton It ends great too. The final song might be my favorite!

@bapsi let’s hope so!

@mathyousee Woohoo!

@jarrod A final quote, the conclusion that I agree with wholeheartedly:

Highlighted text in an article discussing operating systems and design consistency. The highlighted portion reads: “Quite simply, not only is it not ready, I am concerned about what it implies about Apple’s standards.” The article critiques MacOS and iOS visual changes, expressing hope for future cohesion but current dissatisfaction.

@jarrod The appleOS idea lives on:

A screenshot of text discussing Apple’s decision to unify iOS 26 and macOS 26 with a consistent visual interface. It questions the rationale behind using the same version number for different operating systems and mentions a dedicated “operating system” section on Apple’s website. The author speculates on the possibility of unifying under an “Apple OS” branding, noting Apple’s approach to consistent user experience across devices.

@jarrod And the sidebar/window control madness:

Image of a text discussing window controls in applications. It explains that the sidebar appears in a floating state, reflecting ambient colors, making it look translucent. The sidebar reflects surrounding colors even with “Reduce Transparency” enabled. Window controls within the sidebar appear to affect the sidebar rather than the application window. This design allows content to be displayed underneath the floating sidebar. The text highlights how this is seen in the Music app and questions the purpose of placing content under the sidebar.

@jarrod More on the fallacy of focusing on content as the end-all:

> Even if I bought that argument, I do not understand why it makes sense to make an application’s tools visually recede. While I am sometimes merely viewing a document, I am very often trying to do something to it. I want the most common actions I can take to be immediately obvious. For longtime Mac users, the structure of most apps has not changed and one can rely on muscle memory in familiar apps. But that is more like an excuse for why this redesign is not as bad as it could be, not justification for why it is an improvement.

@caseyliss yikes 😬

@Kalena Also audiobooks 😁

@Kalena Truth!

@amerpie I s’pose, for me, it depends on the discussion that teachers facilitate around the book. I read ‘Atlas Shrugged’, and liked it, but it didn’t (I hope) turn me into an inconsiderate monster, and I can easily point out its flaws.

@matt_birchler Whoa!

@joshuagrady Equal party infuriating and sad to see his decline over the years. Or perhaps his unveiling.

@manton I like the sound of that feature! I wonder if it has any implementations for the copywritten material in books getting sucked into their model for training.

@alpower If you’re ever up this way, hit me up!

@gregmorris 😴 You earned it

@gregmorris Congrats my man, you did it!! 🙌 Now rest that injury! 😝

@matt_birchler CHARTS! Someone alert Chartman, @jsnell

@jsonbecker I often have lots of windows open on my desktop, but if I need to focus on a couple in particular, or more data back and forth between them, I’m very comfortable with going into a full screen split-view. And when I’m home, plugging into a larger monitor is just so good these days.

@tylerknowsnothing Maybe someday 🤞

@jsonbecker Meanwhile, I love everything about my 13” M4 MacBook Air…except I think it’s a little too big. I pine for the power of Apple silicon, in the frame of the 12” MacBook.

@agiletortoise yikes!
