macOS 26's Cut Corners

It's really not a big issue: the pointer changes to a resize arrow when you're in the right place, so it's pretty clear when you've got it right.

As much as I'm enjoying all these articles about bad MacOS UI design.. people really be refusing to upgrade over this? I'm sitting here on Tahoe happily resizing windows all day (the cursor change lets you know you're grabbing the correct part).

I’m very glad I decided to keep my MacBook Pro on the previous version, but it’s irritating that I now seem to need to turn on ‘Beta Releases’ to get any other update but 26.x. And if you click ‘Other Updates’ (where the Safari update is, if you want to update that without restarting the computer) it tries to trick you by also selecting Tahoe by default.

That’s the kind of behaviour I’d grown used to from Microsoft over the last decade but something I’d thought Apple was still above until the last little while…

The illustration with the breakfast plate is a really good example.

Is „Dyehoe“ in the title a typo? Otherwise I don’t get it
