I want to try out a new #Mastodon client but it requires that I update my Mac to Tahoe 26. I've been told to wait for the .1 release as things are.... not great.

Curious if I'm being over cautious here. Has anyone installed #Tahoe on their #Mac and it's been "basically reasonable"?

EDIT: Thank you everyone! Seems like I can upgrade "sorta" safely. This was very helpful. Always so thankful for the helpful vibes of the fediverse.

Hmm - installed the Safari update that was in the settings app on my MacOS 15.7 MacBook Pro and now I can’t close tabs by clicking the X on them, nor click and alter the path. I can use Command-W to close just fine.

Odd...

I run Asahi Linux on my mac and I'd really like a vinyl sticker to indicate that - less people think I'm ok with (todays) Apple.

There are two variants on Etsy that are almost there, but I think the aestethics are slightly off.

Does anyone know of something better?

As a reminder, it took took four trips to the Apple Store to complete this "single" repair (they returned the computer without having fixed the problem twice). This doesn't include a further trip mid-repair to figure out what was going on, during which I had a very unpleasant interaction with a manager.

I've attached the repair confirmation for the repair. Enjoy the insanity.

Now the computer won't turn on. I didn't trust the repair when they gave it back to me and it looks like my fears were valid. My only option is to make another Genius Bar appointment. I'm glad I had a horrid Windows laptop just to have SOMETHING to use during this continuing debacle. I think I'll probably buy a slightly better non-Apple laptop and put Linux on it. If you'd told me I'd even think of doing this a month and a half ago, i would have scoffed at you.

Any opinions on MacOS Sonoma v Sequoia? Should I avoid one or prefer the other?

An amazing (and massive) new No Man's Sky update just dropped (for free) - No Man's Sky Voyagers 6.0. A Star Citizen like, liveable new Corvette ship tier has been introduced. You craft it yourself, fly with a friend crew (if you like), explore far and wide.

As mentioned in the deep dive video, it uses new tech simultaneously being developed for both No Man's Sky and the forthcoming Light No Fire.

This is the 49th major update to No Man's Sky across these nine years (total updates so far: 251 -- all free).

My new Cupertino theme for Firefox is now available! It makes Firefox fit in better with macOS Tahoe 26, with a rounded toolbar (using fun background hacks) and some slight transparency effects. Fully open-source as well. #firefox #mac

I have an old #MacMini from circa 2010, but I can't think of anything to do with it.

It doesn't have any USB3 ports and only one Ethernet port, so I can't use it as a router. Its DVD drive doesn't work (probably just dusty, but I don't know how to open it up and clean it), so I can't use it as a DVD player.

What do people do with old #Mac Minis these days?

Is it perhaps possible to run modern macOS in an emulator on it?

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!

A tour of Microsoft's Mac Lab from 2006. Lots of pictures.

As a reminder, Word for the Mac shipped in 1985. Office 2004 was still the current version in 2006, and the final version of Office to be built exclusively for PowerPC

Apple history buffs, enjoy...

One more screenshot of the classic MacOS 8/9 theme under XFce. Honestly, from all the themes I've done, this one I enjoy the most. It's rather convincing because it doesn't use docks or launchers that all modern OSes use, so it feels different.
