Enabled Apple's "Intelligence"/AI feature, used it for an hour, then turned it off. That was two weeks ago, and since then, my system has been a mess. Starting #Pages or #TextEdit (and many other apps) caused #corespotlightd to spike to 180% CPU usage, freezing everything. Finally fixed it by deleting a folder in ~/Library... now it's running smoothly again. @Apple, what's going on?! 🤔

I'm slow to upgrade #MacOS, preferring to stay about one rev behind to minimize churn, and avoid new bugs when updating my various tools & workflows.

The #MacOSVentura upgrade just before Xmas, was smooth except for the most basic tool: #Apple's #TextEdit app. It's been terrible!

My notes are #PlainText first, #Markdown second. They're highly portable between platforms, apps, and devices. #macos and #ios are my weapons of choice, but they'd look and work the same on #android and #Windows.

They aren't #Obsidian notes, or #Logseq / #iaWriter / #tangent / #TextEdit / #Nota / #AnyType / #Taio / #TaskPaper / #vsCode notes, though I can use any of those apps as a lens to view and work with them.

They're wild, and free. This is their theme song:
