I like it. Debacle isn't the word you're looking for. "Some loud people on the internet don't like it and the user base has largely been ambivalent towards it. In reality, it's rough around the edges and needs some

Don't be rude. I did read TFA, hence my comments. You didn't understand my comment, did you? Whether it disabling SIP, enabling root (see the bit about Linux and Posix in my previous comment), enabling case sensitivity in APFS (do

You’re confusing operating mode with operating system. SIP/SSV don’t create a different macOS, they restrict mutation and introspection. They don’t change the POSIX surface, the SUS semantics, or the kernel interfaces being certified.

The Windows 7 vs 8 analogy doesn’t support your argument, it undermines it. Windows 8 wasn’t disliked because it was “modern”, it was disliked because it broke core interaction models in a way that actively obstructed use. macOS Tahoe hasn’

It really hasn't. The hyperbole here has been though.

Howard Oakley has been writting about macOS internals for a long time, and 99% of the time, his essays and articles are excellent. This is not one of them. Don't be put off by this one article - the site is a goldmine.

The people that certify it say that you are wrong. What you think and what actually is are two entirely different things in this case. The fact remains that, according to the OpenGroup (and they are the one that matter here), macOS 26 is

It is. Add we all have off days. Perhaps Howard has had one here. I mean, he is defining what type of OS it is by how it's configuted. Which is just wierd.

Blender is an interesting case. It's seeing wider adoption in studios generally - an Oscar win has helped and the recent Blender Conference had talks from Framestores vizdev[1] and Paramounts in-house teams[2]. Blender 5.0 is around th

Not that OS9 was better - there are thing that I miss, such as drag and drop control panels and system extensions. My point is that people have been complaining about the newer versions of Mac operating systems since there were numbered upg

Tedious tasks, like retopologising, UV unwrapping and rigging would be great examples of where AI in tools like Maya and Blender could be really useful.

What makes my opinion you any less valid than your opinions ? Classic arrogant troll behaviour. I merely pointed out that you are exaggerating. Like I said, you want everything to work like it does with your favourite platform, and if it d

How? Support for RAW formats is reasonably complete. I can hop between different editors without much, if any, hassle at all. Since getting my first DSLR in the early 00's, I have used (in no order) Photos, Bibble, Lightroom, Aperture,

"The unix philosophy is a philosophy, not a dogma" Shame that it is dogmatically followed by a very loud but vocal minority.

It seems to me that it has actually been harmful to F/LOSS in the longer term. Where before, there were companies that were contributing to and using F/LOSS, GPLv3 put a stop to that virtually overnight. Now we see comments like &

You could also say the same of the Linux kernel too. After all, they have chosen, for 20 years, to not go with GPLv3…

Not defending anyone here, and I don’t disagree that the commercial products are hugely expensive, but it’s better now than it was at the turn of the century. Licenses cost in the tens of thousands per seat , rendering software was similar
