What's so pathetic about this redesign of the #macOS drive icons from #Apple isn't that it ditches #Skeuomorphism, it's that it hangs on to skeuomorphism by trying to show a non-euclidian geometry vision of the face of a desktop drive.

Apple lacks the #Courage to go full geometric primitive and make icons that are pure metaphor. Given they're cargo-culting their own graphical history in so many decorative ways, they could have made uncompomised high-fidelity takes on the pre-Aqua icons.

Back in 2013 we worked on many of the macOS system icons for Apple including Automator. Iconfactory was tasked to update Automator, which was created by Dave Brasgalla, along with many others. #macOS #icondesign #app

Hello Liquid Glass. I hope this will become your favorite Apple Music app in near future. Build with SwiftUI (for the haters).

It's still WIP and I hope I can release it with macOS26. ✌🏽

🥳 New Kitten Release

To GNU tar or not to GNU tar?

• Installing Kitten on Linux should no longer display a screenful of gibberish from the tar command.

You see, macOS, being special, includes BSD tar, not GNU tar, and adds a bunch of Mac-specific metadata and extended header keywords to archives that GNU tar on Linux machines then chokes on and regurgitates onto your screen as warnings.

With this release, Kitten’s packaging script expects GNU tar to be available on macOS and uses that instead of BSD tar.

The latest release of Kitten now installs without any warnings on Linux (at least on my Fedora Silverblue box).

Enjoy!

Good heavens, this #macOS 26 "Tahoe" beta is such utter crap, nothing really works.

What a sad year for #Apple.

Instead of creating a nice user interface, turing off the obscene "transparency" generates even more migraine inducing animation #garbage.

Such a sick joke.

macOS 26 should come with a health warning.

Hey Apple, postpone macOS 26 to at least 2028, an start fixing the #bugs.
Even better: Delete all that "smear" crap and start with a clear new interface and hire a couple of designers who know what the word usability actually means.

Need your help #macos #emacs folks 👋

We lost dictation on Emacs v30. I've just submited a patch to hopefully fix it (and hopefully not break something else!).

Could you please give it a try and report back? https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=79070

For those not following #m68kMicroPython development, a lot has been happening rather quickly in the last couple of weeks!

There's enough support for the Toolbox now that I've been able to re-create the #Macstodon splash/loading screen with it - see below.

Big thanks to @stylus for all his hard work developing the port and making this possible!

It's true on #Fediverse it seems that everyone is running some #unix stuff, be it #Linux or #BSD or even #plan9 and alike. In real life people see your screen and ask "hey you're running #MacOS or what?" and you say "oh no it's Linux " and 90% of time they are like "what?say that again??" 😂😂😂

"Recently I had a semi-serious medical issue, and I realized that my medical history (and the medical history of my family members) is a lot more complicated than I realized and distributed across the many healthcare providers I've used over the years. I wanted a single (private) location to store our medical records, and I just couldn't find any software that worked as I'd like: so I built it"
