Woo-hoo! Found a bug in #macOS 26 (Tahoe) Mail.app with TLS 1.3: if you set up your IMAP server to only speak TLS 1.3 then Mail on macOS 26 just hangs whereas it works fine on iOS 26…

​

There is an (old) discussion from 2022 which was replied to by an idiot saying "Apple says it does, so it must be true."¹ ​

The fact that exactly the same Dovecot server works fine with TLS 1.3 enforced against iOS 26 w/ Mail but does not against macOS 26 Tahoe w/ Mail is pretty damning to me...

Just finished a look into the brand new @elementary OS 8.1!

Is the move to Wayland by default (Secure Session) ready for prime time? Yes, yes it is. I walk through the installer, test out the new workspace switcher in the dock, and check out the new monitor and other apps.

If you are looking for a polished, Ubuntu 24.04 based experience, this release has a lot of polish to show off. Great for new users!

Every year I end up revisiting the fact that #Apple #Photos has absolutely crap exporting and archiving features, so this year I decided to rewrite my #macOS #export scripts in #Swift:

In Finder’s column view, a quick way to resize columns to exactly fit the width of the widest file name is to double-click on the two tiny vertical lines at the bottom of the column. But in 26.2, I’m finding that there is a translucent dark scrollbar covering the double line, so if I double-click where I see the lines, it just moves the scrollbar around.

It happens in folders with a lot of items. Anybody else seeing this, and better yet, know how to fix it?

@cdfinder @dasdom #macOS also doesn’t maintain a windows position on which display it is and stifle them around to different displayed. Doesn’t even need the system to sleep, display sleep is enough for that.

And when the system sleeps it will even dick up the arrangement of my displays regularly.

Mind you that this is happening on macOS #Ventura 14.x.

@dasdom

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

#macOS is much too lazy to even remember the positions of volume icons on the Desktop when it goes to sleep, much less window positions or sizes.

I am honestly working on a freeware tool that will remember and restore these, as #Apple is obviously totally unable to write a few lines of simple code...

Such a painful #BugFest

The focus for us at @Vivaldi has always been to do what our users want us to do. So we have spent time on things like:

- Work spaces and tab stacks
- Tab tiling
- Mouse gestures
- Customizable keyboard shortcuts
- Tracker and ad blocker
- Panels and Web panels
- Cross platform, encrypted sync function
- Advanced bookmarking function with speed dials
- Customizable dashboard
- Massive customization options in general.
- Notes functionality

We have also added stuff like this in our desktop browser

- Mail client
. Calendar
- Feed reader
- Proton VPN integration

Not everyone uses everything we make, but that is also the point. The fact that we listen to special requests is IMHO a feature and not a bug. We value power users as well.

On the other hand, we have stayed away from certain things. Things like:

- Blockchain / Crypto currencies
- AI

You can find us on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android and iOS. You can even find us in many cars running Android Automotive.

We are not the largest browser company in the world, but we are dedicated and we are growing. More and more are giving us a try. Have you?

Has anyone seen anything like this? #macos #homebrew

Additional curse: only fails in a jenkins agent, manually is fine.

Why is Big Tech so afraid of AI regulation?

Big Tech continues to push for no AI regulation and it is having an impact. They want us to forget the damage done by the lack of regulation of user profiling. Instead they argue that regulating user profiling and AI would be a disaster. Clearly they are having some success with this strategy.

Hopefully regulators will fight back, but in the meantime, you have a choice when it comes to OS and browsers. Choose the one that does not force AI on you.

No és que #Safari funcioni malament però els usuaris europeus de #iOS no podem gaudir d'un navegador amb motor diferent de #WebKit perquè #Apple obliga als desenvolupadors a publicar una versió diferent per la UE si volen utilitzar motor propi.
A #macOS no tenim restriccions, per exemple #Vivaldi utilitza el motor #Blink (Chromium).
