That's really fantastic! Not just a listing of all Mac OS (and NeXT) versions — they can also be started in the browser. My first system was 6.5. and yours?

Apple's definitive new macOS UI redesign has leaked!

31 years ago, Geir Ivarsøy and I started working on the Opera browser. A year later we founded Opera Software.

At Opera we wrote all our own code from scratch.

In 2011 I left Opera due to disagreement with investors about the direction Opera was heading.

Two years later, I co-founded Vivaldi to build a browser for you.

So I have been building browsers for 31 years. I think I know what it takes to build a browser.

Our Vivaldi team is for the most part in Norway and Iceland with a few people distributed around Europe and a couple of business people in the US.

Vivaldi is available for your computer and your phone, unless you have a very specific setup. Vivaldi might even be available for your car as well.

We go out of our way to provide you with a browser that matches your needs. I hope you like it.

I have a loaner Macbook to aid in troubleshooting some issues one of our fully remote people has been having. He is the only person on the team with a Mac.

Holy shit after not using macOS for a decade I find it nearly unusable now.

For instance by default the only way to view your home folder in finder is through a keyboard shortcut. That’s STUPID.

I just want to figure out this guy’s problems and give this POS right the hell back to IT.

Alright developers, what would you consider to be a reasonably amount of RAM for a new MacBook (Air or Pro) for web development?

I won’t use it for AI stuff, but yes Docker and a few Electron apps.

I want it to last me five years at least.

My initial observation was 32 GB, but that might be overkill.

(I currently use a late 2020 MB Air, M1, 16 GB RAM, which is still pretty OK but showing its age)

Did you know there are 12 applications hidden in a secret folder in the System Library on your Mac?

A nice technical read about why macOS is more reliable and doesn’t need a reinstall. macOS, at least the system volume is immutable and sealed. The article walks through the process of installing and updating macOS itself.

Is this normal behavior on #macOS 15?
I get a Reminders notification.

Step 1: I click on it and the Reminders app is opened. (OK)
Step 2: I mark the item as done (OK)
Step 3: The notification is still visible on the screen. It makes me believe that the reminder was not marked as done. I double check. It was. Notification still visible.

This is very confusing. First, it makes me doubt my actions. Second, it makes me doubt if the application works correctly.

Lecture technique ultra croustillante (dév macOS) : quand la politique s'incruste dans le code.

Cette rétro-ingénierie mythique sur un crack pour l’app macOS Downie montre comment les crackers russes ont ajouté des fonctionnalités anti-debug & pour "corriger" les messages pro-ukrainiens integrés par les devs originaux..

Pas de code malveillant détecté à première vue (pour l’instant), mais clairement des actions/injections ciblées selon la langue du système et un crack qui ouvre la porte à des manipulations potentielles… entre géopolitique et bidouillage

Cracking the Crackers

I thought this was a simple ask. I just wanted a file manager app on #macOS that had an integrated terminal that synced with the folder view above, just like Dolphin in #KDE Plasma.

After I tried the following suggestions, I've given up.

* Commander One
* Spacedrive
* Forklift (v3 and v4)
* Nimble Commander
* muCommander

None of them offer this simple yet super useful feature.

#Marta is the closest I've found, but its file-based configuration is quite limited. It doesn't even have an icon view.

I'm starting to regret my decision to accept my manager's request to switch from Linux to macOS for my work.

Considering options to Big Tech?

May I invite you to try Vivaldi?

How can it possibly be that still, now, in the Year Of Our Lord 2025, #macOS still requires you to configure an email account in the macOS Mail app before you are able to change your default Mail app to a different one? #smdh #ux #fail #Apple

I don't want AI.

I just want modern ports of Dark Castle, Shufflepuck Cafe, Arkanoid and Tetris that I can run on #macOS and #linux.

Another thing I dislike about the "modern" macOS is how it reports available storage. For about a month and a half I've been concerned I was seriously running out of disk space, because Finder windows were reporting less than 25GB available. Fine, fine, I'll archive off a bunch of things I don't need right now, that should free up at least 80GB…

I did that, and the amount of available storage reported in Finder windows increased to…30GB.

The weirdness is because macOS reports considers "purgeable" items to count against available storage. These can be things like log files, software update downloads, swap space, Apple stuff you can re-download later, device backups, document versions, etc. You can see how much storage is purgeable in Disk Utility (if you look carefully), but not in the Finder. Not ANYWHERE in the Finder.

Anyway: turns out updating macOS is one of those times Apple clears out some purgeable stuff. Guess what? Finder now reports I have 280GB free…and Disk Utility says there's still over 180GB that's purgeable.

Think different, indeed.

Just gonna leave this here for a bit:

Beta no more! #macOS #Shortcuts #Automation

this might be a dumb question, but is there a way to only install security updates on #macOS and avoid 15.4 for now?
