bichonnages··on macOS Golden Gate Is a Buggy Mess
There are so many new bugs…

Safari Developer Tools freezes the app.

Even though I’ve disabled the Siri AI tools, they still show up everywhere for some reason.

The main menu bar sometimes gets darker.

Apple Mail keeps formatting my emails in ways I don’t like (bullet lists, etc.).

Apple Mail Smart Mailboxes are broken if you have multiple Macs.

The list goes on…

In the meantime, I deleted the virtual machine and the Claude application. I simply created a web app through Safari. It works very well.

Is this a problem that exists only with headphones? I have the impression that the speakers on my brand-new Macbook Pro M3 tend to drift to the left, or at least not to be centered.

I wish there was a dedicated distraction-free OS. I would just install it on my old MacBook Air.

A word processor and a basic file system (with possibly a link to Dropbox or something). That's it.

That would be amazing.

Lots of dev rely on this plugin in order to make Wordpress much better for their clients (fill the forms and tada!). Hopefully they will keep it that way!
bichonnages··on Study shows how taking short breaks may help our brains learn new skills
I wonder what are the best ways to take breaks when you're on the computer for 7 hours or more a day without losing your concentration when you have to go back to the screen (NB: I often have several client projects to manage in the same day, my brain goes crazy)

bichonnages··on Moving Away from Gmail
In my case, they have always replied to my emails. I think it would be much better if they were actively using their twitter account in order to keep us informed.

I've been using Migadu for a year now. Multiple aliases, works well. Only problem so far: a service interruption of a few hours "due to the COVID-19 situation" apparently. I haven't lost any e-mails but, to be honest, since I'm paying, I don't know if I'll accept a second interruption for a service I'm paying for.
