God, this bubble burst is going to be so brutal

@siracusa I’m sure by now you’ll have received lots of messages like this one, but my reliable way to install macOS betas the last few summers is to get the full installer from MrMacintosh, because contrary to the one from the beta profile, that one lets you choose the installation volume.
I personally go with a separate volume on the main SSD, though it has some risks, but an external drive should work the same way.
IMHO better than the IPSW or installing the old one and then the new one on top

Yeah, bad UIs are never fault of #SwiftUI, which I actually used with satisfaction to build pretty complex interfaces in clients’ apps.

So it was entirely avoidable to make awful things like System Settings or #Xcode 26 new settings pane. https://chaos.social/@dasdom/114709047005711802

my nemesis:

The compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time; try breaking up the expression into distinct sub-expressions

Milla does many, many adorable things.
One I’m particularly fond of, even though it’s not without downsides, is that in summertime **she puts me to bed** in an air-conditioned room immediately after dinner: I’m not allowed to use any tech, it’s sleep time and it must be for the both of us.
So, goodnight! #Husky

This is the same illegible mess in dark mode with a light web page:

This is what Apple think looks good on macOS. (This is simply the top of Safari playing a YouTube video in "Theatre" mode.)

Liquid (gl)ass indeed.

To be clear - this on macOS. Things look better on iOS and iPadOS, for the most part. But I think this theme concept, and execution, is absolutely awful on things you don't "touch". Consolidating the look across utterly different interaction and display models makes no damn sense.

It's like MS making Pocket PC look like Windows...which they did.

This would be better, still not loving the capsules, but at least it doesn’t distract from the star of the show, “your content”… https://mastodon.social/@tuomas_h/114688413473414909

@dnanian Looks like you found the “Electrochromic” mode. Gee so many new things in 26….

@dnanian I guess this is what they mean when they say “focus on your content”. No more pesky interface distractions
