This can't be the intended "downloading" animation in Tahoe's TV.app…
@marcoarment new updates are literally rolling out now 😂
@Onlydole @marcoarment more like wobbling out
@marcoarment Now if it's what the animation jumps to if the download suddenly stalls, that would be cool...
@marcoarment It's not vibe-coding, it's hula-hooping! yeeeee!
@marcoarment This makes me wish for an Eddy-Cue-doing-the-hulahoop gif.
@marcoarment I watched for like 4 minutes desperately waiting for the arrow to poke through that little slot
@marcoarment @marioguzman don’t think this follows HIG…
@marcoarment IIRC it’s actually been like that for years
@marcoarment in my best @caseyliss impression: “we’re bringing whimsy back, baby!”

@marcoarment I see nothing wrong! Ship it!

(…please don’t, Apple)

@marcoarment

i kind of like it

they should make it larger, disorienting, and perhaps nausea inducing

please ignore me

@benroyce @marcoarment

Perhaps they will come out with an immersive version for VisionOS.

(But seriously immersive content guys, you have your Ursa Cine Immersive camera by now…where the roller coaster footage? It might not create dizziness ,given viewers can see the coming path.)

@marcoarment 😂 It will take years to undo all the UI/UX damage, but I hope they at least try at some point.
@marcoarment if you keep watching it eventually the arrow will touch the corner
@marcoarment I thought my Mastodon client was broken.
@marcoarment Why not spin the whole window while we’re at it!

@marcoarment What is "Tahoe"?

Never mind. I think it must be the nickname of presumably the current version of macOS, which is always a mystery thanks to those stupid nicknames.

@marcoarment Surprized to see it not wobble over the window frame.
@marcoarment
" move fast and break things..."
@marcoarment I just hope that the arrow could escape from that hole.
@marcoarment “surprise and delight”: I’m neither surprised nor delighted. Fail.
@marcoarment “Can’t innovate anymore, my ass!”
@marcoarment talk about reinventing the wheel huh?
@marcoarment It's getting out of the way of your content.
@marcoarment It’s just RTFL‘ing 🤣
@marcoarment Feels like a real glass 🍸
@ChrisLawley a) I want to rewatch cgpgrey’s Trouble with Tumbles again.
B) my mind screamed: WHAT’S IN THE BOX!!! (That looks like Se7en to me.)
@marcoarment Try flipping it from VHF to UHF and back again.

@marcoarment ‘Hey what if we made it like a hula hoop?’

‘Done’

@marcoarment

Those bemoaning the ‘lack of whimsy’ in Apple Operating systems— be careful what you ask for.

@marcoarment I asked ChatGPT to make a downloading/spinning animation once and it made exactly this. *Exactly* this.
@marcoarment that’s what happens when you go 3rd party and don’t pony up for the real Mac Pro wheels
