Ran @siracusa 's Hyperspace utility on a volume that backs up my primary “online" video editing volume.
Reclaimed 1.64TB of space. Took a long while.
Yes it's a spinning drive with APFS. Don't @ me.

After 4–5 years, my MacBook Air M1 16GB has met its match: macOS Tahoe is slow on it. Double screen with 5K external monitor.
Partly a story as old as old operating systems: "visual treats" slow the computer down. Partly: feels bloated. Hopefully some is "new install" settling.
Liquid Glass is nice on iPad and iPhone, but weird on Mac. I sometimes cannot see which Safari window is active as the title bars look so different (depending on Safari window content). Crazy.
Third party apps seem to work quite well, including "background" stuff like Keyboard Maestro etc.
I've now turned on a couple of Accessibility features:
- reduce motion, because I didn't like the "physics" of scrolling in Messages.app
- reduce transparency: after which some performance returns
Enjoying things belonging where they should:
- Journal.app on macOS (and iPadOS).
- folders have colours and symbols
- Spotlight (as Launchbar/Quiksilver/Butler etc) works much better.

What will you be changing with macOS Tahoe on day one?
For me, I’ll be:
1️⃣ Switching to launching some Shortcuts via Spotlight with quick keys
2️⃣ Making a few important folders stand out with custom characters
3️⃣ Splitting Control Center into two actually useful control center menus

I can’t believe how easy it is to switch to @Tutanota and its excellent apps. I’ve been frustrated by how most alternatives to Apple Mail and Apple Calendar fall short. But Tuta Mail and Calendar work so well — including with my own domains. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #email #calendar#ios #macos #apple#EUAlternatives

Is it a good time to install macOS Tahoe or would you wait until the 15th? #macOS
Die Suche nach einem #iOS und/oder #macOS#Developer Job scheint momentan echt aussichtslos. Von daher versuch ich es einfach mal im #Backend.
Also, wenn jemand jemanden kennt, der jemanden kennt, der einen Job als Backend-Entwickler zu vergeben hat, ich bin fuer eine Remote-Festanstellung bereit. #Swift kann ich, #GoLang oder #Rust wuerde ich lernen muessen (und wollen!). Aber bitte kein Java.
Ihr duerft das gerne Teilen. Danke.

Y’all. I did it. I just published my very first macOS app. 🎉
It’s a color contrast checker for accessibility compliance. I designed and built it for myself, but I’m also gifting it to the world.
It’s not in the App Store, but it is signed for safety. And it will let you know when there’s an update.
I’m a little giddy about it. 😊

New #blog post. Let's write a peephole optimizer for #QBE that operates on #AArch64 assembly code. Three years ago, we did this for #AMD64 assembly code. But now that I have Arm machines, we can replicate the effort for another CPU architecture.
