Here's one for the icons-in-menus haters on macOS Tahoe:

defaults write -g NSMenuEnableActionImages -bool NO

It even preserves the couple of instances you do want icons, like for window zoom/resize

I just noticed something when I got another #Apple developer email: I don’t trust Apple anymore to teach me how to „build great apps“.

1/4 of the email is about Liquid Glass. In the *best* case they are going to teach me how to make the best out of a fundamentally bad idea. But that‘s already a huge uphill battle, because while doing so all the presenters will have to pretend that it‘s a great idea.

Another 1/4 is about Apple‘s design resources. But we all know how the HIG degraded over the years. And the design resources eg. in the form of Figma files are quite disconnected from what the UI frameworks are doing. And it’s also a bunch of Liquid Glass.

Another 1/4 is about Foundation Models. I get that it’s all the hype. But I *don‘t care*. You are selling this *way* too hard. How about you tell me about Processor Trace? (Ok, I‘m *very* biased here, but it’s a very cool technology)

And the last 1/4 is „Build great apps with #SwiftUI“, which is *exactly* what I‘d want to learn about. Except, over the last years I lost trust that this is possible with SwiftUI. And if it was, why haven‘t you taught us in the last 5 years how to do it? Why should I believe this is more than toy examples this time?

So I completely lost trust that I get anything out of Apple‘s content. 😔

#SwiftLang is such a nice scripting language. The only issue is that you basically always end up having to create a package.

Pro tip for when you do: use the `--type tool` flag

```
swift package init --type tool
```

when creating it. This will give you a nice scaffolding with ArgumentParser and the entry point already set up.

“So under 'hobbies' you have listed ‘programming'?”

“Yes!”

“But I also see it listed here under 'things you despise with all your being'”

“Yes that’s correct”
