I used to love Apple Mail but it was precisely this bug that made me move permanently to Thunderbird. It's hard for me to fathom a bug so severe that it caused data loss on an IMAP server , but Apple created said bug and put it into production . Thunderbird has the nice advantage of working on both MacOS and Linux with the same UI. It's not quite as nice as Apple Mail's classic UI (which is no longer available -- see…

Also ran into serious issues with Apple Mail, and started building a new product: https://marcoapp.io

I can't seem to select any text on your website so had to go screenshot, then select. But:

> All your devices, synced

> Mac, Windows, iOS, Android-stay in sync across all platforms.

Does this mean email passes through a server like Spark[1]?

> AMD Strix Halo chips Do you happen to know any laptop that has a) equivalent screen quality (retina resolution), b) keyboard, c) trackpad but with full Linux support where all hardware pheripherals just work?

The ThinkPad X1 series usually have great linux support and you can option them with 2.8k@120Hz OLED panels, which at 14" lands between the Air and the 14" Pro in terms of PPI. I have a couple generations old X1 Yoga and all of the hardware worked out of the box with Manjaro and Debian, including the touchscreen and active stylus. People usually buy them for the keyboards and trackpoint, but imo the touchpad is still…

I have a Gen 12 X1 and I'm very happy with it; huge step up over my previous Dell XPS, and all the hardware works great on the latest kernel.

Every new version of MacOS exhibits four phenomena: 1. Old bugs are not fixed. 2. New bugs are introduced, and I have to spend hours online figuring out workarounds. 3. Old features I depended on are removed, and I have to spend hours online figuring out how to replace them. 4. New features I don't need are added and they get in my way, and I have to spend hours online figuring out how to disable them. My workflow pr…

If apple didnt win in hardware theyd be gone.

These extreme rounded corners are super triggering my desktop OCD

Text on frosted glass over other text is really hard to read

We need an option to turn these “improvements” off

FWIW my system does feel more snappy and the improvements to Spotlight are nice

To be honest I just installed last night and the only significant change I notice are the round corners. And now the email app have a progress indicator. Other than that is just windows vista visuals, but not as shit as windows vista.

But it's bad, because the new rounded style with floating buttons doesn't match the traditional UI toolkit and it shows. They've messed up the whole layout where windows have a title bar and then a sidebar, etc. Now the side rail is on top, and all the toolbar buttons float, but you're still supposed to know you can drag on the title bar, but there are no visual signifiers (affordances). It's harder to visually parse…

Ok, the clipping of the end of the scroll bar is really terrible.

Just thinking out loud. Maybe some people took remote working really seriously and just delegated their work to amateurs online while they traveled the world. Just saying. There’s no other explanation to how bad this is.

This is incompetence on display. Hundreds of people were involved in this from concept, to implementation, to testing. And they all thought this was okay.

I'm pretty sure my previous manager was involved, this smells like his bullshit.

I have been running the beta from the beginning and they have improved quite a bit, but I am actually shocked they didn't delay Mac OS 26, because the design is so rough around the edges. Some of the larger aesthetic changes, such as the menu bar and the dock look good, but there is so much more that looks objectively awful. 1. the way window UI elements float in bubbles on the top over a white background is horrible…

I cannot believe the current state of affairs where me doing a Spotlight search for "drivers license" when I'm looking for a photograph of my drivers license to upload, that instead of finding it I'm now presented with a list of links to listen to, watch, or find out about the song Drivers License by Olivia Rodrigo. Why? Why!? Who is this helping? I'm fine with telling my computer that I am 42 years old and male and…

You just spent far more time ranting about what Spotlight can index, than it would have taken to open the configuration and turn off the sources you do not want.

Cue "discovery" rant.

Defaults are chosen carefully, but they cannot meet every user's preferences. So, periodically spend a few minutes exploring the enormous software package that is your OS, and be happier for it.

I find this vastly more rewarding than complaining on the Interwebs. YMMV.

the same for me (e.g. yabai didn't work anylonger properly with latest update). But for the past 2 months (or so), I couldn't be happier with Omarchy. It's a Linux build that comes with all the Mac specifications out of the box and is set up as a tiling window manager, which is what I used on macOS. But no more bugs, and it just works. Plus I can tweak my own OS, if I need to change something. In case of interest, I…

Can you say a little more about the "fan always running"? Can it be attended to?

I was able to fix the fan always running issue by changing the fan mode for both my Asus laptop and old macbook pro; I am using silent mode or equivalent and that seems to be fine. there are policy files for throttle_thermal_policy/fan_boost_mode, and you can use a systemd service to set to whatever is your preferred mode.

Can you post screenshots of what you mean? I see grossly rounded corners in some apps, but I don't see the other stuff like gaps in window corners for full screen apps. I may have some config bit flipped that has disabled those. Yeah, the new corner radius is ugly but by and large, it's not much different than before, from what I see so far.

https://imgur.com/a/jLPM9oV this is what I'm seeing with Safari, WhatsApp and Chrome all maximized but with various radius on each corner.

This issue is with app developers not using native libraries, not Apple.
