- joduplessisScreen settings would be least of the problems with season 5 unfortunately.
- As others have noted here, LiquidGlass by itself isn’t a bad idea.
However, the execution is horrible. Massively inconsistent border radii, a Finder window that reminds me of the Engineers’ ship from Prometheus, laggy performance, illegible fonts due to overlays, and the list goes on. Tahoe is so badly designed that using Windows 11 feels like a breath of fresh air.
Curious if any Apple folk are on HN that could add some insight as to how it happened.
- > We've been calling it the AI kill switch internally. I'm sure it'll ship with a less murderous name, but that's how seriously and absolutely we're taking this.
Honestly, is anybody reading what's getting written anymore? If it gets taken seriously it would ship with an enable-AI button, not the other way round.
- If you're after code quality, then do it by hand. If you simply want to get it working, then continue with an LLM.
- This is 100% needed, I'm sorry to say. Apple's hardware game has never been stronger - but software-wise they seem to be wandering around aimlessly. MacOS26 feels like a huge step back, so I'm hoping some fresh people will be a good thing.
- As a Slack user - this post terrifies me. It sounds like a laundry basket with a bunch of stuff taped into piles with label stickers on them.
- I've started calling it EDD - Executive Driven Development.
Senior stakeholders get into a room, decide they need xyz for the project to really succeed, push this down to managers who in turn try perform miracles with what little development resource they have. Very often they also have an offshore team who is only concerned with prolonging the contract as much as possible, rather than delivering. 2 weeks later senior stakeholders get back into the room...
- Was going to say this too!
- A whole lot of claims made by a company that doesn't specialize in cyber attacks.
- Apple: hold my beer.
- Not to denigrate the content of the article or Linear - because it's a fantastic tool - but easy talking about profitability when you're able to spend a year in private beta, focusing on product. This is like talking about creating your own wealth, but not mentioning you have a trust fund.
- I wiped Win11 from my Ideapad and installed Ubuntu. I love Gnome & it's the closest it'll get to MacOS (am a Mac user mainly). Win11 was absolutely wild though - around every corner was some ad for Office365 or Copilot or some other shit product. You don't own Windows (anymore) - you borrow it.
- > you're trading explicit simplicity for abstraction complexity.
Which is literally the entire reason any framework or abstraction is chosen (most of the time IMO).
- And pubs! I'm not Irish, but it's very comforting going half-way across the world to somewhere like Florence or Hamburg, and going to an Irish pub where everyting feels familiar.
- lol - wouldn't be surprised.
- > “I find it pretty lame that we put our heart and soul into something and then just put it online for free,” Rose says.
How absolutely entitled. Almost 20 years ago I would have killed for a distribution platform as slick as what there is today. Is it a generational thing maybe? I don't know, but just because you create doesn't obligate people to consume.
- > one of the best benefits of Linux > as it’s the most native web platform that most web technologies are developed for
This is a very idealsitic stance. It's not the best for web because web has been refined where users are - MacOS or Windows. I wish it were different.
> And anything beats macOS, even using a brand new Mac feels like molasses sometimes. I would investigate drivers/scaling/hardware acceleration, cross chrome/chromium browsers and Firefox to see if you can narrow down your issue.
Simply not remotely true - try it yourself. The best supported distros (Redhat, Ubuntu, SUSE, etc.) all suffer from the same fragmentation of the Linux ecosystem. In fact not even Windows comes close to MacOS's font rendering (why do you think designers prefer it).
