    For the first time not only am I not having to fight the urge to jump into the betas, but I am actively considering not upgrading macOS and iOS when the public release comes. 

    iPadOS is a notable exception but there’s so many new features there that I’ll probably wait until there’s confirmation that there aren’t any showstopper bugs in the betas. 
    Funny, as this is first time in several years that I’m thinking of joining the beta program since I’m so excited about trying the new Liquid Glass design and the interface improvements I saw during the keynote.

  • macOS Tahoe gets Liquid Glass visual redesign & major tools updates

    Overall, I really like the language. Sure, there are some things to refine, mainly concerning the translucency of some of the elements, but overall the design seems well thought-out and in service of usability.

    I often thought about Aqua while reading the rumours leading up to the big reveal yesterday, but I wanted to hold out on making any decisions until Apple was able to present its work. It’s easy to see references to other OSs — prior Mac ones or from other platforms —, and that what design is often about. 

    The final judgment will have to be made on how much Apple succeeds in marrying design and usability, but from what was presented yesterday I think Apple has done solid work here.

    And I see my comment immediately got a dislike. God forbid I say something bad about AI. Sorry, not a fan of something that has famously been trained on intellectual theft, something that is horribly environmentally damaging. I know Apple has been trying to do things differently when it comes to that, but AI is so unethical on so many levels as we’ve seen it so far. Which is why I have zero qualms with Apple struggling on putting out their AI products. The only good thing that came out of it is we finally have the base level Macs shipping with 16GB of RAM
    I really dislike it for all of the same reasons. Thank you for sharing!

    I came to write what’s already been said —  AI is probably at this point more of a turn off for most people or at least a reason for caution.

    I’d love a fork of Apple’s OSs devoid of AI.

    Could we just stop with these useless articles — everyone will be better off not constantly seeing articles about a mercurial individual whose only goal in life is to twist everyone’s undies in a bundle for his own ego gratification.
