Mac users had, by radically redesigning the Mac to be utterly unlike itself, carelessly discarding decades of thoughtful design, function, and delight without bothering to understand any of it, and lacking adequate resources to replace it with anywhere near the quality and consideration that it once had.<br/><br/>It’s the sad conclusion of macOS’ takeover, under Tim Cook, by people who seem to kinda hate the Mac.<br/><a href="https://mastodon.social/@marioguzman/115124814890741413">https://mastodon.social/@marioguzman/115124814890741413</a> 2025-09-01T06:03:47+02:00
