@siracusa fired up my G4 mini running 10.3 yesterday and I was instantly reminded of how far Apple has fallen in design. Tahoe’s lack of interface density looks like a Tonka toy in comparison. Interface inflation and bloat is very real.

@geerlingguy crazy question… I’m looking at switching some of my systems to Wayland… but graphical remote access seems to mostly be limited to RDP on Ubuntu. I’m currently using vnc extensively… do you know of a vnc server that works with Wayland, that isn’t wayvnc? (It needs wlroots compositors)
@thomholwerda So, I get that the world is finally moving to Wayland. It will be great to finally leave X11/Xorg behind. I do have one use case though that I've yet to find a proper solution to. Does a VNC server exist that has Hardware Accelerated encoding, that supports a wayland backend? I know wayvnc exists, but it doesn't support kde/gnome since they don't use wlroots.

"…It may be time for a critical reassessment of what Panic is building here. Slowly, gradually, the Playdate has evolved into something more like a large-scale, collaborative, physical version of UFO 50. It’s an alternate history Game Boy with dozens upon dozens of genuinely great games." 👍

Like, who thought this was a good idea? How does one even begin to understand this screen? It simultaneously wastes an incredible amount of space, and is obscenely cluttered. No "hierarchy" is "communicated" by all the overlap, it's just noise. #LiquidAss
