The Agency (Paramount+) was decent. The Bureau, the French original from which The Agency was adapted, is even better. Deutschland 83/86/89 also very good, but less serious than the other two. Berlin Station is a bit more average but elevated by great casting.
The thing that bugs me most about Tahoe is less the design itself and more how broken the implementation is.
E.g. every morning I have to manually scroll the email list in Mail because the toolbar UI fails to automatically switch between light and dark mode.
Thanks! I do usually post announcements for releases that contain anything other than minor bug fixes, but I’ve had several small releases in a row recently so I’ve fallen out of the habit.
Good question! I’m open to it and it’s on my feature request list, but given the number of other feature requests I’ve had since launch, it’s just not something I’ve had the time to properly consider yet. I’ll try to give it some thought once things have settled down a bit.
Thanks!
Aeronaut on macOS 26 Tahoe
Aeronaut on macOS 15 Sequoia
Excited to announce that Aeronaut is now live in the Mac App Store! 🎉
After two years of tinkering, polishing, and obsessing over the little things, it’s finally here!
If you’re looking for a Bluesky app designed and built for macOS, take a look…
apps.apple.com/us/app/aeronau…
Excerpt from App Review Guidelines highlighting rule 2.5.18 which reads in part “display advertising should be limited to your main app binary, and should not be included in extensions, App Clips, widgets, notifications, keyboards, watchOS apps, etc.”
Technically apps that use ads in notifications aren’t even permitted in the App Store in the first place. Unfortunately Apple’s own services team has been violating that rule with impunity for years so it’s effectively a dead letter.
… by requiring account creation would no longer exist and anonymous browsing would be viable even with age verification in place.
Having a free and simple API would also be fairer to indie developers and small businesses who Ofcom currently seems to be pretending don’t exist.
Platforms like Reddit which ordinarily allow anonymous browsing are requiring an account to do age verification. Presumably this is because the commercial verification services charge per verification.
If a govt system were free to use then that financial incentive to minimise age verifications…
Ooo interesting.
Did you… edit your post?
The pricing is also much better than GitHub Actions for macOS machines. It is very noticeable though the gulf in quality between software that Apple makes for “customers” vs. developers. Building a CI solution around a single language is such an opportunity to make it great, and it just isn’t. 5/5
There isn’t even any solution for using Swift Macros beyond disabling the security protections entirely. The code signing at least “just works” and I had no issues with my tests which use a mix of XCTest and Swift Testing, so it’s not all bad. 4/5
And then there’s the lack of support for Swift tooling despite the whole CI system being designed around that one language. Tools like Swift Lint have no integration at all, you’re to install them manually and dig through the logs to see their output. 3/5
The web UI is so hilariously slow that you can often see the DOM nodes loading one by one. It also doesn’t seem to stream the logs in realtime at all, they appear in one go at the end of the build. Compared to GitHub Actions it’s embarrassingly unpolished. 2/5
Having set up Xcode Cloud this week I’m not very impressed. It’s terribly buggy. My third ever build suffered from “an error” that seemingly had nothing to do with my own code. I can’t access build logs in Xcode itself, at first due to a bug supposedly fixed in 2023. 1/5
… prioritizing what “execs will love” over the interests of the users that they are supposed to be designing for. 2/2
I take a dim view of these lawsuits because, despite their protestations to the contrary, Epic, Spotify, et al are concerned with their own desire to keep a greater revenue share and not with the interests of small developers. But something has really gone wrong when Apple’s UX teams are… 1/2
Screenshot of a macOS Dock stack for the Applications folder in which almost every app is listed twice.
What is going on in Cupertino? macOS 15.4 managed to break Mail notifications by leaving the AI categorization features half applied after I pressed the “no thanks” button. Now 15.4.1—supposedly a mere security update—has managed to break something as fundamental as showing the contents of a stack.
“the amount field came pre-populated with 15 zeros, which the person inputting a transaction needed to delete, something that did not happen.”
Good UI matters.
I understand pragmatically wanting to focus on iOS first, but I don’t understand why they didn’t wait a few years to add macOS support rather than shipping it in this woeful state.
Decided to build my onboarding in SwiftUI and I’m just amazed that anyone deemed this acceptable to ship for macOS. No cursor change when hovering a link in a `Text` view or indeed a pressed state when pressing it. No `nextKeyView` support so it’s impossible to tab between text fields…
Extraordinary spinelessness here: blaming the decision on Executive Orders that only apply to federal agencies.
Whatever one thinks of the DEI programs in question I wouldn’t want to invest in a company run by a CEO who’s too much of a coward to take responsibility for her own decisions.
Same thing again: yesterday’s thread by @bsky.app didn’t appear in my feed. The post from 6 days ago did though, so it’s intermittent. This time I tried unfollowing and re-following and sure enough the thread is now there. Maybe the re-follow fixes it for me permanently but there’s definitely a bug.
Can’t abide spending good money on beautifully engineered hardware and then covering it up with a bland case.
Screenshot of the soundtrack for the 2011 film Drive in Tidal. The tracklist starts at number 6.
14 years later and the first five tracks aren’t available on streaming services. Music licensing is really stupid.
Yeah before bothering you I triple checked that: I follow the account, haven’t blocked it, haven’t muted it, and don’t have any mute words. Also, if it were a mute or block I wouldn’t be able to see it in your quote post either, right?
Still a no show >12 hours later so presumably not. I’ve never noticed errant posts before though so if no one else has reported it I guess it’s probably a fluke.
Appreciate your help anyhow!
Is there a known issue with missing posts? I follow the Bluesky account and the post you quoted is missing from my chronological timeline. (Checked the getTimeline response in the Network tab and the post isn’t inside so it’s not filtered out front-end).
