I am in literal hell. The AI fatigue is real. Is this why we can’t buy memory?
#Starbucks really out doing the most… and for what…? the smooth brains who can’t order a damn coffee?
I miss Launchpad on macOS. Not because I necessarily thought it was better than the "Apps" thing we have now but because it was pretty refined in how it transitioned in/out.
The “Apps" thing now seems to transition in and then load each icon one by one. So sometimes I am waiting for all icons to appear before I can visually find the app I want to open.
Subsequent launches will have all icons appear together but after like 1.5s.
It just feels overall slower when it should be a quick launcher.

Some apparition of Jobs needs to come back and yell at the HI team with “what the fuck are you thinking?”

I remember when I used to be excited what wonderful new interactions would come out of HI at Apple.
Now I’m always bracing, mentally preparing myself with “oh what did you fuck up now?”
Dark mode in Music on iPadOS 26.4. What are we even doing here?
Especially notice the supremely legible text and buttons at the top and bottom of the sidebar.
Many things in Apple’s new UI design language get bigger when you interact with them, and I just find it so odd. It’s relatively harmless (though annoying) with things like sidebars, but there are some elements where this actively interferes with what you’re trying to do.
As an example, in the Music app, the your current position in the seek bar is different when mouse button is up vs. when it’s down.
The player bar in Music is in general one of the grossest UI I’ve seen on the Mac recently.
Am I using Objective-C, KVO, and Bindings in Cocoa tonight like a dinosaur…?
Yes, Yes I am.
