In macOS Tahoe beta1 Finder, some app icons exhibit gray inset (Things icon for example in this screenshot). Weird. Speaking of the Finder, things feels janky in beta1.

I’m curious about people’s appreciation level of Apple Liquid Glass by age group. Younger people probably don’t care or like it because it’s flashy but as they will get older they might change their mind because of the lack of readability. And by then Apple will probably be back with a more opaque design. 🤭

The size of the OS install on iPadOS 26 was 2x bigger than on M2 MacBook Air. Surprising. Update: it’s about 2 GB less.

Since I have two Macs (M4 Mac mini + M2 MacBook Air), I think I’m going to install macOS Tahoe on my MBA just to kick the tires and see how good or bad things are… I hope it’s better than on my iPad.

My days of using Notion for work are counted. I started using Notion in 2023, but I realize that I should have started well before that. Sadly, I won’t be allowed to use such “non-standard” tool at my next job. The standard is: Microsoft 365 + Confluence. 🥴

I’m officially starting a new job in less than two weeks. As I clean up my belongings at my current employer, I’m amazed by how much content I’ve gathered and created over the past seven years. Most of it, about 80%, is now worthless.

While the iPadOS 26 beta 1 is very buggy, after watching this video, I’m very tempted to install macOS Tahoe beta1 on my M2 MacBook Air. Would love to get feedback about stability compared to iPadOS.

Liquid Glass current state in beta1 is challenging the definition of content readability. I’m seriously hoping that this will improve before final release later this fall.
-
Well, iPadOS 26 beta 1 is rather buggy and feels more unfinished than expected.
-
Apple is so careful about accessibility in general, I find it surprising that they come out with something like Liquid Glass which seems to break many usability rules like legibility. 👀😵💫

A lot of developers might be pissed off by Apple and not willing to invest the required resources to adopt the new UI… but I want to make it clear to all developers: I’ll reconsider my app usage based on those who don’t adopt the new UI. Nothing is permanent in this world. #wwdc25

One quick and important question about the upcoming UI redesign: will Apple reinvent the … beachball on the Mac? Or is it already « glassy » enough? #wwdc25

Sadly, I’ll be on the road tomorrow during the WWDC Keynote. I’ll probably put the event stream on my phone and listen to the audio only while driving. My colleague will learn how passionate someone can be about Apple. 🤭

HyperCard was such a novelty when it launched. It was something so “out of this place”. I spent so many hours with HyperCard, trying to find use cases for it, just so I could experience the stack metaphor. Thanks Bill. RIP.

Listening to the Vergecast right now and oh boy, Apple is losing the mind share of so many people right now… developers (been lioke this for a few years now), tech pundits (for what it’s worth) and… ordinary users (partially, thanks to AI stuff).

Wow, MacRumors is posting a new article for each individual leak, coming from today’s rather lengthy Gurman report about next week’s announcements. I mean, come on, guys! Do a single write up and we’re ok with it!

Due to some important professional changes, I canceled my Fantastical subscription. It’s a great app that I would recommend anytime, but my current situation no longer justifies the expense. I’ll share more info about all this soon.

I’m not a gamer. I’m not the typical guy who freaks about Nintendo. I don’t see that changing anytime soon. Kind of tired of those posts about the DS2. 🙄

Physicality: the new age of UI
Overall, one can imagine a rounding and softening of the interface through translucent materials looking pretty great.
There are many thoughtful ideas in this post and I hope Apple will come up with something similar.

According to Gruber, with some extrapolation, The Mac could be the one to lose the most with this upcoming Apple UI design unification:
The last thing MacOS needs is more transparency/translucency than it already has.
