Tahoe’s UI is a disaster. Giant buggy controls. Sad to see where macOS has ended up. Apple used to have so much attention to detail in their UI design - now it looks like it’s “anything goes”.

And Canada too.
Pathetic.

>If the subsurface were like an inert container, we could just pump that gas down there, sit back and watch the global temperature stabilize and the glaciers creep back to where they’re supposed to be.
I find it fascinating how some scientists seem so sure about how things are 'supposed to be'. The Earth's climate has never been static. Almost everything present today (temperature, pressure, percentage of each gas in air, etc.) has been higher and lower (sometimes by a lot) in the past.
What makes anyone think that they know the ideal amount of anything? Higher temperatures will certainly cause change, but why does every prediction paint a 'worst case scenario'?
Human accelerated change is the concern.

I long for a modern NeXTStep-like OS. A polished, consistent, solid operating system that is lean, clean and simply focused on getting things done. It should be predictable in every way and never get in your way. None of this SwiftUI bullshit, Animoji, AI or blurry UI. sigh

> I could walk item by item through System Settings and point out many equally inexplicable decisions. Did anyone at Apple really believe a Mac user’s life would be better if common features were buried deep in menus?
I have to agree with this, System Settings seems very inconsistent (design) and has terrible information architecture / organization.
Use it every day and still no idea where anything really is in there. What a shitshow.

Ahh Apple Vision Pro.
I entirely forgot it existed! They still sell that?
Not sure.

Is Bertrand still kickin? Can Apple poach him for a few years to clean house? I miss the days when he was running the software division at Apple.
This might be the main issue with software at Apple getting so much worse. Bertrand knew what he was doing. Apple's (and NeXT's) OS used to be an OS, not a collection of toy apps.

The problem is the materials used. Greedy developers building junk homes and making bank. People in those areas are able to afford fire resistant housing but most of them are being swindled into buying stick homes. The few properly designed homes fared far better. Code needs to be updated and consumers need to be educated.
Swift is turning into a mess and SwiftUI is complete, utter garbage. Tahoe’s UI is unbearable.
The problem is there is no real alternative - Linux is the closest thing (but has its issues).
