@NoContextBrits Man, I heard this tweet

“Coming out of my cave and I’m doing just fine…”

@krzyzanowskim I'm pretty certain it's not random as I'm seeing people get invited whom I sure got in last year.

never got randomly invited to wwdc. not even once for all the years. I start to think it's maybe less random than I thought.

@sindresorhus I thought that this was now allowed, after all their legal disputes world wide. Do Apple honestly think that a potential customer is going to use that link to avoid IAP?

LOL, Apple rejected a bug fix update because my personal website linked from the app has a donate link, which has been there for 34 updates, but sure.

@eternalstorms I'm pretty much convinced that the devs working on Tahoe aren't using Tahoe themselves, such basic things as resizing a window were broken.

I wonder why I’m able to force quit apps that aren’t even running 🤔 🤣 #macos #ui #forcequit #macostahoe

@AngelicaOung It became suspicious as they held him for so long without charging him. It suggested to me, they didn't have any evidence. Now it's out there. All can see. I hope Ko gets to appeal this ruling, and have it over turned. The prosecution should be embarrassed.

@Sam_Ohanaware I’m very frustrated because they make it sound open and shut

A SATISFIED SMILE When is a smile evidence for corruption? Well in Taiwan, under the principle of “free conviction”, the probity of a piece of evidence is decided by the court. That means judges subjectively decide how important or trustworthy a piece of evidence is, although they still have to explain their explanation. TPP founder Ko Wen-je was just sentenced to 13 years for bribery. What was the chief reason for the judgement? “After the meeting, Shen Qingjing left with a satisfied smile and was accompanied by Zhu Yahu. This external reaction already reflects that the outcome of the meeting was favorable to Shen…From this, it can be inferred that a tacit quid pro quo agreement had been formed between official conduct and the transfer of benefits, thereby establishing the criminal intent of agreed bribery.” Would you be happy to be convicted on this level of evidence, anon?

@AngelicaOung @QomQwat Back in Hengchun now, thanks for doing some digging into this.

Wait WHAT? What happened to the five-day thing? I’m going to assume this is Israel.

@AngelicaOung I think this is fake as I can't find anything to corroborate on the BBC or CNN.

@steipete Whoa!

@C0BRABLADE I too wish Apple were different. I see 3 problems; lack of excitement, lack of profitability and lack of marketing opportunities. I don't see a change happening in the foreseeable future, sadly.

@Sam_Ohanaware I wish Apple would do things differently…Makes my wonder how bad things will get once they kill Intel games/apps in macOS 27.

Does anyone like Liquid Glass? mjtsai.com/blog/2025/09/1…

Does anyone like the new macOS icons in Tahoe? mjtsai.com/blog/2025/08/0…

One of the things I appreciate the most about the macOS is Window Restoration, any idea why this would default to off?

@Jeff_Tullin The app still works in OS versions lower than Tahoe, but you should double check things JIC

@Sam_Ohanaware Does this stop the resulting app from running in anything earlier than Tahoe?

@howardnoakley I haven't gotten to beta 4 yet! Thank you for testing this, hopefully this change is unintentional. I guess we'll have to wait till beta 5 to find out.

@Sam_Ohanaware I tested - and b4 remains the same as b3, reporting 26 on older apps, rather than 16. But there's nothing in the release notes to record that change, so maybe it's just another regression?

Another thing I don't like about Tahoe is the version number it returns. It should return 16 for lower SDKs and 26 when using the 26 SDK, just like what Apple did with macOS 11 (returned 10.16 if not using the 11 SDK).

@howardnoakley We'll have to test again when beta 4 drops. Hoping that this is a mistake rather than a deliberate change.

@Sam_Ohanaware Just checked: you're correct. Beta 3 seems a complete rogue release.
