(Note, this is the start of my Medium friendly posts, so away go the bulleted and numbered lists which it doesn’t support at all and up with headings and subheadings. Hat tip to Blog2social for a nice plugin that cross posts). Creating a Go environment: Github Well another month, so…

OK, I don’t know why this is a bug, but it definitely exists as an edge case. I’ve been slowly importing my photo library to iCloud, if you take say 4,000 images (I know I have a lot of them!), then it will take MacOS Photos about a week to…
