ugh this is one of the things that drives me most insane in #macOSTahoe. Basic desktop-isms are just so broken. I fear that more and more folks who don't understand the history of the desktop are running the show at Apple. I hope I am wrong but then what explains this mess?
Look how beautifully this plus button gets centered…

I'm sorry, but this is the sorta crap behavior I'd expect from cross-platform web based shit apps -- not "native" Apple apps... ugh.

Gone are the days where you could easily distinguish file types by icons. Why have them anymore?
Tip: Squint and lean in and you might see the difference!

what even is this shadow? #macOSTahoe
It's like #macOSTahoe is just trolling me at this point lol
#LiquidGlass ...😒 The contrast of notifications is now so low that I can hardly distinguish them from the apps underneath. When I first saw this, I thought my #VSCode had gotten a new #Fantastical integration.
This is #Mac OS Panther, released in 2004. Its UI has many things wrong with it (and is not pretty). But what it does well is a strong and obvious distinction between controls and data. Buttons and borders are clearly defined. Icons are immediately recognizable, even zoomed out and tiny like in this picture. No transparency or blending. Scroll state always obvious through visible bars.
What this adds up to is reduced cognitive load when using the interface. Everything is plain, you can find a thing immediately. This is a stark contrast to #macOSTahoe and the many poor decisions in that UI.
I know how @siracusa loves how Apple found ways to minimize the color differences so we can't see buttons and such, so I made this wee video just for him (but you can watch it too if you like.)
Now that #macOSTahoe has been out for a while (I'm mostly fine with it), have people played with https://github.com/apple/container? It has 21k stars and has apparently seen steady development, yet nobody seems to be talking about it.
Is it… viable as a replacement for #Docker or #Orbstack? Has someone made a simple Mac GUI app to manage containers with it? (Or maybe I can use Orbstack for that?)
How about performance?

holy shit, it *is* real! Probably the only new post #macOSTahoe icon I do like!

All throughout the beta of #macOSTahoe, the Mac App Store app doesn't show me updates. I have to use Latest.app to update my Mac App Store purchases. I was hope it would only be a beta issue but it seems to affect the RC as well. Anyone else seeing this?
Edit: And no, Command + R or the Reload menu item doesn’t help or work either.
I’ve also tried rebooting and signing out/in Mac App Store.
