Messing about with the 2012 Mac mini again. It runs macOS 12.7.6 Monterey, can’t go any higher that that OS. Consequently I need some way other than Safari to access my numerous social media feeds. On the mac App Store several years ago I found Friendly Social Browser, which is a way of creating individual web apps within the overall structure of Friendly Social. It’s mostly effective except for put.io and Nextdoor. For the former there’s a good app called Apero on the Mac App Store, but Nextdoor is proving difficult.

A bit like people getting lost in IKEA and them selling meatballs…

I always see more people walking into Costco than out of it.

But the meat is cheap, so I don't ask questions.

Plenty of Mastodon app available.

I've not been using my m1 iPad Air much, seems every time I turn it on lately, it needs charging. Most of my iPad use has been on the new iPad mini 7. So, to force myself to use the Air more frequently I have set it up to use the beta version of iPadOS 26. I do like the look of it thus far but there are lots more settings to familiarise myself with.

There’s a bloke on the other side of the city who’s selling an identical Olympus camera on eBay for A$70. Resisting temptation!
My Olympus also came with a genuine copy of Photoshop Elements 1 included.

I have a couple of 10 MP shirt pocket sized cameras, one a Canon, the other a Ricoh. Plus a couple of iPads, two iPhones (one newish, the other old) and iPod Touch, Motorola G75 Android phone, a MiniDV video camera and a Nikon D5100 DSLR. I don’t really need another camera. The dead one has sentimental value, though. It was the first really capable digital camera I ever bought. Oh, there’s also a Pentax MZ-50 SLR that an insurance company bought to replace a stolen Pentax K1000 SLR.
