Sometimes i really love #SwiftUI 🫶🏽
It makes UI stuff funnier than ever.

Text is obviously placeholder and other stuff also not finished. But i like it. (It’s in woofly where you can sort of unlock such cards by using different parts of the app)

Everything here is drawn in SwiftUI.

Mac apps used to be both functional and also very beautiful. That is, until the Flat UI folks got involved and ruined it all with their “Less is More”, elevated-content, Dieter Rams-wannabe bullshit.

Look how gorgeous and usable this app looks. You *actually* want to use it.

Let’s kick off the celebration of Apple’s 50th Anniversary today!!! 🎉🥳🎂

Over the next 50 days, I’m going to showcase one Mac each day from my collection.

This will be fun, let's get started!!! 🧵

Will it work? The tension is unbearable! #marchintosh #Globaltalk

"After months of heated debate and previous attempts to restrict the use of large language models on Wikipedia, on March 20 volunteer editors accepted a new policy that prohibits using them to create articles for the online encyclopedia.

The new policy, which was accepted in an overwhelming 40 to 2 vote among editors, allows editors to use LLMs to suggest basic copyedits to their own writing, which can be incorporated into the article or rewritten after human review if the LLM doesn’t generate entirely new content on its own."

“In recent months, more and more administrative reports centered on LLM-related issues, and editors were being overwhelmed.”

Is there no longer a solution for developers with iOS 18 test devices that still want security updates?

Over 120 respondents made their opinions known - and some of their choices really surprised me!

...and on that note, I added edge-snapping to retroStrip. Why didn't I do that in the first version. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@joe And don’t worry, the USB-C ports are color (mis)matched too.
