I don’t like these two “disconnected” visual elements: the menu bar from the dropdown menu. The highlighted portion of the menu bar and the menu itself. There, I said it. On a positive note: on recent MacBook Air like mine, I love the rounded screen corners.

Every single day, I read a new post by Pixelfed about upcoming features, additions or redesign. The list is too long to write here (and to build!). All apps are in beta. It’s a maturing platform / service for sure, but man, ship it already, stop the talk!

Call for comments: those with a recent MacBook with a notch, what utility are you using to make it “disappear”? TopNotch doesn’t work on the latest macOS release for me. I’m unsure if this is because it conflicts with another utility (like Bartender).

Running beta5 of Sonoma on my soon-to-be returned MacBook Air. I’m not so sure this thing is quite ready yet. I’ll wait a few more betas before installing Sonoma on my new MacBook Air.

On Apple's Migration Assistant

Ok, can we agree that Apple’s Migration Assistant is magical? 🤯 After the new Mac got updated, it was required to match the version of the source Mac. It took about 45 minutes to transfer 375GB of data (with a peak speed of 650MB/s over Thunderbolt 4 cable), and boom. Of course, I had all those required permissions to be set again. But, wow, writing this on my brand new 15-inch MacBook Air this morning. It was my first experience with this process of getting a new Mac set up. I already feel at home on this machine.
