I’m actually looking forward to #macOS#Tahoe putting apps in squircle jail, at least for the ones that notoriously ignore macOS design conventions. Just look at how Avid Media Composer sticks out with its oversized icon that eats into the reserved spacing.
And by the way, the product name is Avid Media Composer – why omit the spaces on the Dock icon?
(Thanks, @siracusa for coining the term “squircle jail”!)

A brand new 68k Mac emulator quietly dropped last night!!
“Snow” can emulate the Mac 128k, 512k, Plus, SE, Classic, and II. It supports reading disks from bitstream and flux-floppy images, and offers full execution control and debugging features for the emulated CPU. Written using Rust, it doesn't do any ROM patching or system call interception, instead aiming for accurate hardware-level emulation.

(Edit: I'm not the author - just spotted this on the Emaculation forum and had to share it!)
(Edit #2: Snow's author, Thomas “twvd" has joined the Fediverse now! Give him a follow at @twvd 👋)

So macOS is preventing me from developing my app. The firewall isn't letting Gleam access local IP addresses even though I've allowed local network access for iTerm2 and ping works just fine. This security theatre feature is bullshit and I'm not sure how to reset it. beam.smp isn't shown in the network access permission dialog at all.
…is macOS Tahoe really the first macOS to have a different image for empty folders vs. ones with contents?
Why did this take so long? #macOS

This is our take on Crypto. It has not changed. There is a reason why we have not included Crypto in Vivaldi.
We are very proud of the features we have added, but we also proud of the "features" we have not added.

So far this year we have seen nice growth in many European countries. We have doubled our userbase in Norway and Denmark, to name two.
More and more are looking for alternatives to Big Tech and we are happy to provide that alternative when it comes to browsers. We also provide a mail client, calendar and RSS reader on Windows, Mac and Linux.
If you have already switched to @Vivaldi, please invite your friends.

Brilliant review of Vivaldi in Heise Online. It is in German, but you will see subtitles in English, if you prefer.
For those of you asking why to use Vivaldi, you may well find your answer here.
