I never want ads in the software I use to get things done, so this interview with Nick Turley of OpenAI was reassuring. Between what he said and what Sam Altman has said, their company seems very aware of aligning their business with users’ needs. Something Meta will never be able to get right.

Safari on iOS 26 is bugging me enough — especially the extra taps for tab bar items like closing a tab — that I’m switching over to Kagi’s Orion for a little while. I’ve been meaning to try it.

Jason Snell on how long it’s taken for Apple to bring back the blood oxygen feature:
I’m still surprised that it’s gone this long and this far, but Apple seems to be a company that will leave no legal stone unturned and will fight to the end when it feels it’s in the right.
So true. It feels like increasingly they aren’t right, but I’m on Apple’s side for this one, because it was holding back a legitimate health feature.

I made a change today that seemed right, but something about it was nagging at the back of my head. So before I deployed it, I asked our robot overlords… It correctly pointed out that I had forgotten the old code worked that way for a reason! A snippet from its analysis:
Original behavior likely intentional: archive_site previously only ran prepare_plugins(…, full_themes: false) so “small” plugins could contribute assets/includes, but it avoided full theme overrides and didn’t layer the user’s theme on top of “archive”.

As part of fixing the Mac app on Sequoia, I’ve switched builds over to Xcode Cloud. Gotta admit, it’s better than my old workflow. Maybe one day I’ll automate the appcast RSS feed. (I’ve been editing it by hand since 1.0 shipped in 2017.)

Great news for Apple Watch fans: blood oxygen feature coming back to recent watches. Sounds like they’ve worked around the patent by doing more processing on the iPhone.
