TIL 2025.4.15 Today I learned That I was messing things up with a tool called Macup. I was using it to back up my preferences for a few applications to my iCloud folder. Yeah, that’s a small to medium sized “don’t do that” for you. It sounds like a good idea, but it’s also redundant since I use Carbon Copy Cloner to back up my full hard drive to a local SSD. The unexpected results include: Applications not seeing registrations. Applications showing the “What’s New” dialog at every launch. It also messed up my git configuration. So that’s a fun mess to untangle. Also fun? It was causing my Obsidian tool problems with publishing my notes. SO one tool caused a LOT of issues!
