Update Hell

Software is steadily becoming more dictatorial. It gives us fake choices like one does to a child to trick them into behaving, with a so called dark pattern to make the “right” decision obvious. I’m pretty sure I’ll be going back to Linux soon.

If update prompts spoke the truth:

I don’t mean to particularly pick on Apple, that’s just the template I used.

Christ on a bike, can I do anything?

We’ll harass you until you click the button, It’s our gift to you!

“For now”, you’ll comply eventually.

Peaches?

We’ve had bad luck with peach trees dying in the past, mainly due to us not removing all the buds as they are establishing themselves. One of the dead trees went again, bellow the graft or so we thought. So I removed all the buds this time, but there were so many I missed a few. And well, they turned into small peaches :). They’re delicious, just small. We didn’t think we’d be picking peaches in October.
