  2. 💾 Ah, the riveting saga of 'Linux #Tidbits and Collecting Pebbles'—a tale of one person's journey through the mythical land of #GNU/Linux, where every pebble collected is a #kernel #recompiled. 🕵️‍♂️ Prepare yourself for a labyrinth of #UNIX #philosophies that somehow still manage to leave you... searching for the point. 🤷‍♂️

  6. Ah, #TidBITS, the fountain of wisdom on all things #Apple, where "thoughtful, detailed coverage" means pondering the existential crisis of a word processor that may or may not exist. 🤔💻 If #Schrödinger were a software developer, he'd surely be proud of introducing more uncertainty into our lives. 🐱‍💻

  26. “When the path forward seems unclear, I believe we can best contribute by modeling the behavior we want to see in the world…. For TidBITS, that means writing clearly and accurately, prioritizing thoughtfulness and depth over speed, acknowledging our mistakes, and engaging with readers on a personal level. It means practicing kindness, decency, and respect whenever possible.” Adam Engst

  27. This is a great article on the latest macOS version of Photos by #TidBITS @adamengst . So many useful hints and tips. New features often sneak up on you if you don’t have a good look every now and then. tidbits.com/2025/04/10/new-org

  28. @tek FWIW if I were to upgrade to #DEVONthink Server it’d be only $255 with my @TidBITS membership, which also scores a heap of other benefits, not the least of which is keeping #TidBITS going strong in its 34th year and beyond: TidBITS.com/membership/benefit

  29. Great post on TidBITS about weather apps and websites. Lots there I had never heard about. Especially love the clean design of the Norwegian Meteorological Institute website yr.no, and it works around the world.

  34. Hi folks,

    Just a quick reminder that August's #Bletchley & #MK #MathsJam is:

    - *tomorrow*: Tuesday 22nd!
    - at Brewhouse and Kitchen in Central Milton Keynes (close to the theatre, *not* to be mixed up with the Midsummer Tap which is very close and has "pub and kitchen" on the sign!).
    - From 7pm

    Bringing yourself is an absolute must, and any #mathematical #ideas, #conundrums, #puzzles, #tidbits, #games, #books, #toys or #tales are encouraged but completely optional.

    If you're able to let me know if you're intending to come I'd appreciate it, otherwise just turn up. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

    See you there,

    Tom

  35. Lets welcome #Tidbits to #Mastodon. Tidbits is a venerable, lasting #technology newsletter.
    They post regularly on issues I'm interested in, including #pruvacy. The latest issue discusses their feelings about the #Twitter debacle.
