macOS 26 has to be the most breaking version so far, its problems and intended breaking changes making my app dev life so hard this year. Just to name a few: - Reference Presets no longer allow setting arbitrary SDR nits, making it impossible to natively unlock 1600nits of brightness on MacBook Pros or 2000nits on Studio Display XDR which breaks my Lunar app [0] (this seems to be intended, no idea what hurt Apple tha…

Re: Yellowdot, have you considered setting a LUT to the display that maps the color of the recording dot to black, then setting a LUT to every other window that maps the same color to a nearby similar color? Not a macOS user, but I feel like that might still work.

It could, but there's no possibility to apply a LUT to a realtime framebuffer on macOS. But it would have been a clever solution if it was possible.

Not on new silicon and asahi linux is still pretty damn far from being able to use it seriously. I do appreciate the effort, but I am just saying that it would be a lot better if you know, apple sold the hardware so vendors could build laptops with apple silicon.

Apple literally made step by step instructions for compiling and running your own kernel on Apple silicon. Not sure how you think asahi Linux works otherwise. Sure the drivers are anywhere from bad to non existent but that’s not the same thing as being unable to run your own kernel.

This is news to me, where can I find this? I was under the assumption that most of asahi linux was reverse engineered. It's the reason why they're also stuck on M3?

Edit: I can only find 3rd party resources. The only first party is for older macbooks (intel based)

Classic perfect/good. The choice is not usually “have humans write amazing top notch documentation, or use an LLM”. The choice is usually “have sparse, incomplete, out-of-date documentation… or use an LLM”.

And my claim is that the latter is better.

Gah hopefully the meaning was clear from context, but I just realized I said "latter" when I meant "former". Inconsistent human documentation is better than miles upon miles of AI-slop documentation.

So you're upset an operating system that is called macOS is not in fact Linux. Gotcha.

Yeah, if it was Linux it might actually be usable! I'm not sure how Apple acolytes can say this stuff seriously what with the deluge of complaints and completely broken features and terrible UI their own kind have been posting about it recently. You can't accept that Apple could possibly do wrong?

Remind me which OS we were talking about again? Because it sounds like all of them. OS usage as a team sport is just dumb.

Using LLM is perfect for writing documentation which is something I always had problems with it.

As someone who has dealt with projects with AI-generated documentation... I can't really say I agree. Good documentation is terse, efficiently communicating the essential details. AI output is soooooooo damn verbose. What should've been a paragraph becomes a giant markdown file. I like reading human-written documentation, but AI-slop documentation is so tedious I just bounce right off. Plus, when someone wrote the do…

Probabilistically generated text is light years better than my human generated mess. I know my limits and documentation is one of them.

I agree linux is just as bad, but at least I can fix it! Especially now in the age of AI I have fixed 30-40 issues with KDE that were bothering me and now they're gone.

The reason why I don't upstream is because.. it's AI and half the changes are very opinionated. However, my enjoyment and productivity went up a lot. My KDE is closer to hyprland than anything and I love it.

I have spent a significant amount of time with all 3 OSes and Linux was by far the most functional and least broken. I haven't used Windows since Windows 10, though, but I have used macOS as recently as last year.

Papercuts like this are why I moved away from macOS. I will say, I don't love the use of LLMs to write these bug reports. It's probably fine if reviewed, but at least review for things like "worked on macOS 25", which obviously didn't exist. If that wasn't caught, how sure are you that the rest of the report is accurate? We all want the bugs fixed, but people are going to start throwing out the obviously LLM written…

It’s selection bias; the people who complain are the most visible online. Especially HN.

You don't know that, you could frame any genuine problem with any company as a selection bias.

When you say “You don’t know that”, you expect the people reading your comment to interpret it generously. A good interpretation of your comment is something like, “You’ve provided no reasoning to back up that argument” or “I think it’s unlikely that you have evidence to support your claims”. A bad interpretation of your comment is, “I can answer with certainty whether you have this specific piece of knowledge, and the answer is no.”

I encourage you to apply the same generosity to comments you read.

I for sure see the appeal. Even if macOS desktop were open source, though, I doubt I'd do much about my complaints. For my use cases, I don't want to turn OS maintenance into a hobby, and whatever complaints I might have aren't big enough to go to the trouble to begin with.

Bespoke user land does have its temptations, though. Maybe I'll finally get off my butt and load up a distro on that old 2012 MBP that doesn't get macOS updates anymore.
