You realize OS innovation has ground to a halt when the first feature advertised in a new version is screen savers
it's pretty much for putting a new wallpaper on the yearly hardware iterations so as to differentiate them.

What does "native window snapping" mean?

#53the only thing this update borked for me is the safari kagi plugin
Huh. I'm using it without problems. Any chance you're using multiple Safari profiles (new feature in Sonoma) and it's not enabled in the profile you have active?
ill double check but i mentioned it on the forums and they suggested i use orion

Apple advertises the things that 99% of the people buying their products care about. That doesn't mean that things aren't changing under the hood.
I do wish they had a developer-focused version of these announcements, though. A lot of very interesting stuff usually never gets mentioned officially at all.

One of the last macOS versions had - click the mouse in the lower right corner and notes pop up. That's a new OS feature, really? I mean, I haven't really thought about it, but what's left for desktop OSes these days that they need to produce new releases every year.

I’ve been using Rectangle Pro for more than a year now and it works pretty great. However, I found that I don’t actually use snapping that much (maybe I’m just not used to it). My most used features is actually the move and resize modifier keys, which let me drag/resize a window without having to go through the pain (more or less, depending on the window clutter) of having to move my mouse to that small area where I can do that. Seriously, it’s been such a game changer for me that I wish Apple would make this a built-in feature.

A few years ago, people here were complaining that MacOS was too unstable from all the new features, and that they wish Apple would just do a few feature-less stability releases.
Can't win.
Re: macOS Sonoma is available today
#58I still don't understand why Apple is so bent on coupling application updates together with OS updates. I just want the new changes to Safari and Notes while I don't care about the other changes, why not have Safari be a normal application downloaded from the App Store, like the rest of us pleebs have to do when publishing apps?
No need for a testing matrix (Does version X of app work with version Y of MacOS)?
Not needing to bundle dependencies that you know are provided by your OS environment?
Easy to investigate and fix bugs (You don't need a VM of every MacOS version on your machine)?

Not having to install apps like Rectangle to snap windows into desired areas.

It’s their job to get people to click the upgrade button, so developers can rely on the new advanced libraries, and if the impression they make is “basic maintainance update with some colorful snazz” it is more likely to happen.
I upgraded to the beta version and am having a bug with an app that relies on WebKit so for me I wish I’d waited for the .1.
