I have had the absolute joy of planning, testing, and helping out on this project.
Genuinely one of my favorite things Jace has worked on to date.

A lot of people really liked the "true highlighting" I used on my personal site. So I turned it into a very customisable package for you.

➡️ Easier way, no need to disable SIP:
sudo defaults write "/Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/GenerativeModels.plist" "EnhancedSiriWaitlist" -dict-add Enabled -bool NO

We’ve achieved glass on the web ✨
Real refractions. Real DOM. And it works everywhere. Yes, even on Safari.

We released Splice! Too used to typing :skull: and annoyed when it doesn't work outside of Discord? Try our app! (We have support for GIFs too if you are into that).

@eiranoirx Ok but I don’t need the whole forge shipped with my kitchen knife tho

Electron hate is one of the most confidently wrong opinions in tech. People say it like they've cracked something open. "Discord is just a website." "VS Code is Chrome with a titlebar." Yeah, and your kitchen knife is just shaped metal. The framing tells you nothing about whether the thing is actually good.
Writing a real cross-platform native app is brutally hard, and not because the logic is complicated. Every platform has different UI conventions, different system APIs, different accessibility models, different font rendering, different input handling. Write a macOS app in Swift and it looks great on macOS and doesn't exist anywhere else. Want Windows? WinUI, WPF, take your pick, each with its own learning curve and its own special set of things that don't quite work right. Linux? Qt or GTK, both of which produce apps that feel slightly wrong on every platform they target, and you're maintaining all of this in parallel, same features across three codebases, three bug trackers, three build pipelines, three sets of platform-specific nonsense to debug Or use Electron with just oneOne codebase.
"Electron uses too much RAM." VS Code idles around 150-300MB on a typical project. Sounds bad until you check what else is open. Chrome with four tabs is using 800MB. Your JetBrains IDE, fully native, compiled to the JVM, is sitting at 1.2GB before you've opened a single file. The native Slack alternative someone built in Qt uses 90MB, sure, but it also hasn't shipped a new feature in two years and the emoji picker breaks on HiDPI and nobody is fixing it. Memory is cheap. The RAM argument is almost always made by people who don't look at what their "good" native apps are actually consuming.
Chromium is good. It is one of the most tested, most optimized pieces of software running on consumer hardware right now. The rendering is fast. V8 is fast. The security model has sandboxed processes and site isolation baked in, which is more than most native apps bother with. Embedding it in a desktop framework is not a betrayal of some pure native ideal. It's using a genuinely good piece of engineering for a job it's good at.
The app is not slop because it runs on Chromium. The app is slop if the team who built it didn't care. Those are different things. Maybe stop confusing them.

Well from all the feedback we’ve gathered, we decided to release the stable version tomorrow. Stay tuned!

@Pirat_Nation every pc gamer has spent at least one evening in that panel pretending they understood anisotropic filtering

NVIDIA has officially retired the GeForce Control Panel after 20 years, ending one of the longest-running software tools in PC gaming.
The company is moving users to the newer NVIDIA App, which combines driver updates, game optimization, DLSS and RTX settings, performance tools, overlays, and display settings into one application.
The old Control Panel will still work for now but is now considered a legacy app and will no longer receive major updates for GeForce users.
For many gamers it has been a familiar part of the Windows experience since the early 2000s.

@daniel_nguyenx I wish they’d improve LazyVGrid’s performance so I can stop raw dogging appkit 🙏
English

I rewrote some of the components from SwiftUI to AppKit and the performance is significantly better. For some operations, it's 3x faster.
But it wasn't the hype-y "SwiftUI is slow, AppKit is fast" headline.
SwiftUI can still be very fast but it does require extra works.
I'll share more soon!

@cheetahbyte will we have to explicitly enter the file search mode or will it show the results in the global search?
