The Big Sur icons for Activity Monitor, Console, Preview, and Terminal are square iPads, and they are charming:

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The ones who don’t want their app icons to be rounded squares. Thank you.

The icons are jelly and that’s annoying:

Oh, there’s a portal in the fountain at Apple Park.

The Mac is moving to Apple-made processors for top performance. This is good news.

iOS & iPadOS apps run on the Mac without any changes needed. Catalyst was a short-term thing.

Instead of credits at the end there’s an assurance that Apple took care so nobody would get infected. Sign of the times:

These tiles have a nice look:

Wow:

Also, inconsistent use of articles.

The empty-space-to-the-right issue has been solved. My project illustrations now take up almost the entire screen width. Looks stunning:

I decided to move some emails from one folder to another. Guess what? Mail can’t sync anymore.

This bug was spotted back in January and it is yet to be fixed.

Since January, Twitter has the rights to do whatever it wants to with published content. This is contrary to my world view in which I own and control everything that is a product of my mind.

The blog format doesn’t suit everything I’d like to say, so I started this Telegram channel.

Apple Notes on the Mac is absolutely unresponsive, especially to two-finger clicks. Keep in mind that this software is made in-house...

Elevator operators now have a job again.

FIGMA IS FANTASTIC

The Japanese know what pleasure is: they have Boneless Fish!

Mac bugs keep getting worse and worse. Apple should release another Snow Leopard this year.

Sometimes I want to do an image search with the picture I have in mind.

Just saying: I don’t care about trends. I always act out of my own will.

P. S. I hope these words won’t come back to haunt me.

It always surprises me how Disney makes ugly animals look cute.

Room 104 is the dumbest yet most brilliant show. It proves that any nonsensical artistic idea should be experimented with.

The voice actor impersonating Trump never sounds like Trump, but he does create a metaphor.

In the past few weeks I really fell in love with jasmine tea.

The slogan for the 2020 Eurovision would have been “Open Up”. Hahaha

Using keyboard shortcuts is much quicker than pointing and clicking. Therefore I eliminated toolbars wherever possible.

I design my environment in a way that encourages healthy habits.
