    RE: mastodon.social/@simonharper/1

    This change is now present in the public 26.4 release. I would guess the assumption is most people have automatic app updates enabled, and never care to manually review release notes.

    I am in the opposite camp. I want to explicitly approve an app before it can update, and indie developers who actually care about their craft put a lot of work into detailed release notes that are always worth reading. ⚙️👨🏻‍💻

                          Why, oh why, does macOS only enable HiDPI mode for certain monitors?

                          I recently bought one of those cheap portable monitors to use when I'm away, and connecting to my MacBook it looks great at native resolution (but it's 2560x1600 so text is too tiny!) and the other resolution is 1280x800 ... which looks good but modern apps assume larger real-estate, so it's not usable.

                          Switching to other mods left a blurry mess ... until, the BetterDisplay app! Which, for the most part, just enables HiDPI mode on your display... and now it looks great at 1600x1000!

                          Why can't i do this without a third-party app?

                                    ~95% of donated computers are "too old" for Windows 11 or macOS. Linux installs on them anyway, adding 10+ years of life to machines and called trash.

                                                      Tahoe update to 26.4. Description of the update begins with introducing 8 new emoji (which is followed by the standard mentioning of security and performance updates). The update weights over 8 GB.
                                                      Bottomline: 8 new emoji in an 8GB update. 1 gig per emoji. I honestly think that should consider how they communicate about their updates.

                                                        If your Apple iOS device is indicating an update to iOS 26.4 then an 18+ age verification will be needed post update.

                                                        If this cannot be completed with your existing Apple account information you will be asked for a credit card or a driving licence as age conformation.

                                                        UK Debit Cards or Passports are not accepted.

                                                        If the verification doesn't work on the first attempt a complete device reboot might be needed to get a successful verification.

I’ve been using a Mac since the 90s and I’ve had an iPhone since the first one came out in 2007. Nothing really all that surprising with this update.

                                                                                                                                            On iOS, push notifications must go through Apple’s servers. This is not something that can be bypassed, as it is part of the operating system’s architecture.

                                                                                                                                            MastoBlaster, like other Fediverse apps, uses a design that maximizes user privacy.

                                                                                                                                            When you log in to your instance, the app and the server exchange the necessary cryptographic keys. The app also communicates to the instance the address of the relay, which is the server responsible for forwarding notifications to Apple.

                                                                                                                                            When a new notification is generated:

                                                                                                                                            1. Your instance encrypts the notification.
                                                                                                                                            2. It sends the encrypted payload to the relay.
                                                                                                                                            3. The relay forwards it to Apple using its own authentication key.
                                                                                                                                            4. Apple delivers it to your device.

                                                                                                                                            The content of the notification is encrypted by your Fediverse server and can only be decrypted by your device.

                                                                                                                                            The relay, which in the case of MastoBlaster is dedicated and hosted on a FreeBSD server, receives only encrypted data. It cannot read the content, does not know which account the notification belongs to, and does not store any information about the notification itself.

                                                                                                                                            Apple knows which relay sent the notification and which device it must be delivered to, but it cannot access the content.

                                                                                                                                            In short, only your instance and your device can read the notification.
