In summary, while without any other insights, I would assume that social.lol and omg.lol are cool, inclusive, indie sites that everybody should support, I know that because the founder/owner is a serial abusive troll, I would never recommend anybody use them. I would further advise steering clear.

@gedeonm What you said earlier about negating retina displays is exactly how I see it. I feel like I’m looking at these new icons on a 1x display.

@danielpunkass Yikes!

@mjtsai Thank you for the link!

@danielsaidi I keep wanting to drag the floating sidebar to the edge of the window.

I spent a significant portion of WWDC week learning what I could about Icon Composer and the new app icon system. I wrote about it here:

@humdrum Thank you, Kevin!

@danwood I’d rather be paid in Monopoly money than Trump crypto.

@agiletortoise My whole house still runs on a Time Capsule. It’s old but it still works well for me.

@Aaronvegh FYI - when you are quoting other posts (like here), the link seems to go to a URL that returns JSON.

@krzyzanowskim When I try a new Mac app, one of the first things I do is check out the Settings window. I check whether it implements a standard Settings window, and whether it animates the resize when switching panes. I find that to be a good indicator of whether the app feels like a good Mac app.

I agree that the new style looks awful. Apple has apparently ignored the complaints about System Settings on Mac.

@bwebster Great, thoughtful post. Also, I am pretty sure DiskWarrior rescued me a few times.

The campaign promise I want: slow news days.

CocoaHeads Boston will meet Thursday, June 12, at 7:00 PM at the NERD Center. Being WWDC week, it should be a particularly interesting meeting.

Please RSVP ASAP (by Monday at the latest) if you are attending (or *might* attend) in-person. We need to give a list of attendees to building security.

@rizzi Congratulations! 🎉

Last night I got to hear Justice Breyer speak in person.
