Since 2010
Everyone should watch the first hour of this, including and especially those holding elected positions. They should be made to take a little break from arguing about shit that doesn’t help humanity progress to watch it, and then they should be asked if they already knew all of the content, and if not, why not. And if they did already know it all, they should be made to explain what the problem is in making it happen.
We just have to want to.
Some musings about an incredibly privileged problem to have: from 25 February 2026, as a dual national I must:
…travel to the UK using either:
- a valid UK passport or Irish passport
- any other valid passport with a certificate of entitlement
I only found out about this change by stumbling upon some articles on ABC News’ website.
So if I want to enter the UK from next month I’ll either have to renew my British passport, which is an expensive pain in the arse when you’re not actually in the UK. Or get a certificate of entitlement which I assume is also an expensive pain in the arse, and is attached to my Australian passport so would have to be renewed alongside that as well.
Or I renounce my British citizenship. That option also costs money which adds a little stab. But I left the UK 16 years ago and won’t be returning as a resident, and the UK obviously isn’t bothered about me keeping my citizenship. So yeah, maybe?
As an aside, good grief things like this push my buttons. If the UK has the ability to prevent me from entering the country using my Australian passport because they know who I am and they know I’m a British citizen, then they know who I am and they know I’m a British citizen!
Why doesn’t my brain always understand this very simple concept? 😞
This is very much my kind of sass!
The bugs are real. The math is not. All estimates are made up. Your frustration, however, is valid.
This weekend’s bug, for anyone playing along: after a reboot macOS 26.2 changed the resolution of my external monitor. The same monitor that was plugged in before and during the reboot. The same monitor that has been plugged in for months.
Bugs I’ve encountered in macOS Tahoe 26.2 since my last list:
I had a “Privacy Warning…” item in the Wi-Fi menu in my status bar (something to do with private Wi-Fi address) but clicking on it did nothing. The text changed colour on mouse down/up, but I was never taken to the “…”.
The clipboard history feature added to Spotlight turns itself on following a reboot. I use Pastebot so I don’t want this and I don’t need it, but it won’t stay turned off.
Speaking of Pastebot, when I choose to clear it’s clipboard history it throws up a dialogue asking for confirmation which has “Cancel” and “Clear” buttons, neither of which can be clicked. I have to use the keyboard. I can move the dialogue and select text in the dialogue, but not interact with the buttons using the mouse. I can’t imagine this has anything to do with Pastebot - surely it’s just using standard macOS APIs?
These are all inconsequential issues, but I haven’t had to go looking for them - they’re right there in plain view. They are also all new in Tahoe, and Apple has an infinite amount of money and access to resources I can’t even imagine. So what is the problem here?
