The linked docs cover this in detail.

#24As a web dev, it’s been fun listening to Accidental Tech Podcast where Siracusa has been talking (or ranting) about the ins and outs of developing modern mac apps in Swift and SwiftUI.
The part where he said making a large table in HTML and rendering it with a web view was orders of magnitude faster than using the SwiftUI native platform controls made me bash my head against my desk a couple times. What are we doing here, Apple.
Hacker News loves to hate Electron apps. In my experience ChatGPT on Mac (which I assume is fully native) is nearly impossible to use because I have a lot of large chats in my history but the website works much better and faster. ChatGPT website packed in Electron would've been much better. In fact, I am using a Chrome "PWA App" for ChatGPT now instead of the native app.

#26In earlier episodes of ATP when they were musing on possible names, one listener suggested the frankly amazing "Dupe Nukem". I get that this is a potential IP problem, which is why John didn't use it, but surely Duke Nukem is not a zealously-defended brand in 2025. I think interest in that particular name has been stone dead for a while now.
It's a genius name, but Gearbox owns Duke Nukem. They're not exactly dormant. Duke Nukem as a franchise made over a billion in revenue. In 2023, Zen released a licensed Duke Nukem pinball table, so there is at least some ongoing interest in the franchise.
I probably wouldn't have risked it, either.

brew install fclones

#28In my experience, Macs use up a ridiculous amount of "System" storage for no reason that users can't delete. I've grown tired of family members asking me to help them free up storage that I can't even find. That's the major issue from what I've seen; unless this app prevents apple deliberately eating up 50%+ of the storage space of a machine, this doesn't do much for the people I know.

Steve died.
Edit: Let’s be real here, Tim Cook is keeping the lights on. He isn’t a product guy. They lack leadership and vision at present and are committed to a foolish release cycle based on calendar year not quality of product. These wouldn’t have come to pass had Steve lived till today. Yes its opinion but I doubt its an unpopular one.
So I’ll say it again succinctly, to answer “what happened?”
Steve died.
