@cabel Sorry, I don’t get what you’re running into here. Apple Pay is set to pay with the default card. So, the default card is displayed at the top to let you know which card is about to be charged. If you want to use a different card instead, you tap “Other cards >” right?
@nikitonsky When does Mozilla start adding tabs and buttons to the right side and bottom of the window as well?
@tuomas_h The question will be — has Apple leadership learned their lesson? Or will Liquid Glass be another “butterfly keyboard” that we are stuck with for years because Apple can’t admit when it’s wrong?
@aphexarin @morrick “About as well as it did before” is faint praise, considering things have been going downhill since Bug Sur.
@512pixels “Sale” — Still charging about six times what they are worth.

@Doomscroll In my case, I’m engineer and designer. But I’ve been engineer-only sometimes, and there are some things engineers can control: bugs, performance, latency, and stability. Even an app with a middling design can be better-loved than a well-designed competitor app that crashes, has bugs, is slow, and is otherwise frustrating to actually use despite its better design.

Do those things. Do them as part of everyday practice; do them even when management isn’t asking for them.

As of today, all mentions of Liquid Glass have disappeared from developer.apple.com (the main home page). This may or may not mean anything... but I've been watching for it.

Apple violating basic tenets of the OS for… marketing purposes?

Why must my Applications folder be cursed with identically named apps?

@billgoats I loved CyberDog. I mean, the rest of OpenDoc was kind of a UI mess, but just look at that bookmarks list!
