Sweet Jeebus, macOS 27 Golden Gate Removes the Dumb Icons from Menu Items
This is my favorite news from all of WWDC this week. I mean that. In a small way I mean it because I so loathe this aspect of MacOS Tahoe. But in a large way I mean it because it’s proof that the rot has been rooted out of Apple’s software design team.

Will It Mythos?
Updated on June 17th, 21st, 22nd, 24th, 26th, and 27th, and July 3rd. See notes below. OK, so Mythos finds really challenging security bugs, right? That’s why it’s cordoned off from the hoi polloi, to protect the world from such a powerful finder of exploits. But, many other LLMs can find bugs. Is Mythos uniquely…

macOS Tahoe windows have different corner radiuses
I’m sometimes late to notice new and terrible things about macOS 26 Tahoe, because I use it only for testing, on a secondary Mac. My main Mac remains on Sequoia, as enforced by Little Snitch .
