Pour nouel on peut aussi offrir un peu de temps pour prolonger la durée d'utilisation d'un ordinateur #macosx de mi-2011 dont le fabriquant #apple ne propose plus de mise à jour, et en fait par volonté commerciale un appareil obsolète, alors qu'il va pouvoir fonctionner encore quelques dizaines d'années avec un système #logiciellibre comme #elementaryos

Un ordinateur Apple iMac 21 pouces de mi 2011, l'écran affiche la mire d'installation de elementaryos, un système logiciel libre, un disque dur externe orange sous l'écran, le tout posé sur une table en bois.

Wie der NeXT-Kauf Steve Jobs zurück zu Apple brachte
Am 20. Dezember 1996 kaufte Apple die Computerfirma NeXT, die Steve Jobs nach seinem Abschied aus Cupertino gegründet hatte. Der Deal brachte nicht nur neue Software, sondern auch Jobs selbst zurück zu Apple.

And the award for the BEST Aqua ever made... goes to... *drum roll*

@tuomas_h

Yes, he made this Aqua button. So lickable! :D

Mmmmmm baby UI with beautiful design and drawers... #MacOSX #Aqua #macOS #iTunes

I miss the diversity of layouts in old Mac app design... like leaning more on bottom bars and bottom toolbars like iWeb, iCal, & (OG) iTunes. Or a more Shoebox/Bento style of layout like old iMovie. These all had wonderful structure than would lean on their unique purpose rather than using a standard template meant for all. It was nice.

The Anatomy of a macOS App

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://eclecticlight.co/2025/12/04/the-anatomy-of-a-macos-app/

<p>Programs running in windowing environments, <em>applications</em> as we used to know them, have more complicated requirements than those run from a command line. Rather than embed all the resources they require for windows, menus and the rest in a single file, Mac OS broke new ground by putting those into resources stored in the app’s resource fork.</p>

<p>This is QuarkXPress version 4.11 from around 2000, with its resources displayed in the resource editor ResEdit. Executable code was also stored in CODE resources, and every file contained type and creator information to support the illusions created by the Finder.</p>
<h4>Mac OS X</h4>
<p>When Mac OS X was designed, it switched to the bundle structure inherited from NeXTSTEP. Instead of this multitude of resources, apps consisted of a hierarchy of directories containing files of executable code, and those with what had in Mac OS been supporting resources. Those app bundles came to adopt a standard form, shown below.</p>

this new #MacOSX Liquid Glass interface is 👎 - bummer there is no way to easily revert to the previous version.

Of all the hilarious weird usability things I've seen, "pairing this Bluetooth mouse to a Mac pops up the keyboard recognizer workflow because the mouse has a single "WINDOWS" button in the middle of it" is definitely in the top half.

Collabora a donc sorti une déclinaison de LibreOffice qui semble particulièrement belle. C'ets bien, parce que WPS Office n'est pas une réussite totale. https://www.collaboraonline.com/fr/collabora-office/ #office #alternatives #linux #macosx #windows #opensource #freeware #software

@laydros @mos_8502 @vkc It's funny, I've come from #macOS (née OS X, née Mac OS X) to #OpenBSD for desktop use and it feels like I've gone back to #MacOSX 10.6 #SnowLeopard era of stability, simplicity, and compatibility. These days, #Linux feels like it has climbed in compatibility, performance, and #UI polish, while macOS feels like its slipped back down to meet #Windows, and they're all in a weird mediocre spot of overcomplexity that has lost sight of good UI/UX.

ok, en fait, mise semble bien plus évolutif que vfox. Donc je vais utiliser ça pour installer maven, java et autres, et on verra jusqu'où ça m'emmène. https://mise.jdx.dev/getting-started.html#activate-mise #java #maven #version #install #automatisation #commandline #windows #linux #macosx #opensource

Je sais qu'il y a plein d'alternatives à sdkman, mais au moins celle-ci semble compatible Windows et Linux https://github.com/version-fox/vfox #windows #linux #macosx #install #automatisation #jdk #npm #opensource #software #commandline

Tech garbage #apple #macosx edition:

In Mac OS X Tahoe (and probably Sequoia), the OS downloads between 14G and 40G of these stupid aerial flyover videos. I never asked for this bullshit. I deleted the files and they came back.

Any way to permanently disable this crap?
