Apple should go back to the large Tahoe toolbar window radius. We've gained absolutely nothing by the unified radius change in Golden Gate, and now the entire OS looks less consistent on a more-relevant axis

This dataviz is just amazing https://visquill.com/gallery/uk-a1
@taylorhadden @stroughtonsmith I would ban YouTube’s recommendation algorithm were it in my power 😀
@taylorhadden @stroughtonsmith anything that recommends social content that is not the content your direct follows post in chronological order
@stroughtonsmith @_inside I'm in exactly the same boat. Cargo-Bot has had 12 million downloads, it's completely free and was released in 2013. Hoping they switch this to a rolling or per-app limit
New Finder feature in macOS 27: you can paste things from your clipboard into the filesystem. Who else has been asking for this one? 😄

Was worth a shot, but it looks awful and broken now anyway 🥲:

defaults write -g NSSplitViewItemSidebarDefaultsToFloatingAppearance -bool YES

I dislike the glassy search field in Golden Gate. Also the pill shaped toolbar items clash with the straight edge of the sidebar

The sidebar still overlaps the content, if they want it edge-to-edge they should go back to allowing the wallpaper to bleed through and have it be the backing layer

Pick Sequoia or Tahoe. They don’t mix

If you’re curious how much changed from 26 to 27 for app icon rendering with Icon Composer, here are a few examples of the difference (in this thread). First of the pair is 26, the second is 27.
The other thing I will greatly miss about the inset sidebar was the way it reflected colours around its edge. So cool
