@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeJust some pictures. I like the new sidebars, but I probably would have dialed things back more. I don’t like Liquid Glass (especially on macOS). If you want a glass-like effect, use old Aqua for inspiration not this hard to read, neomorphic crap.13:02:27
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeThis I don’t like. What’s the point?13:03:00
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeIf they really want floating sidebars, bring back drawers.13:03:17
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodemacOS still supports them. The connection window in Mail has one on the bottom IIRC.13:03:40
@weethet:catgirl.cloudWeetHetI would like for the to commit to either using glass layers OR the old design13:04:34
@weethet:catgirl.cloudWeetHetNow we have glass on top of old design13:04:44

@weethet:catgirl.cloudWeetHetThis is just bad13:06:03
@weethet:catgirl.cloudWeetHetPicture taken directly from the Apple website13:06:27
@weethet:catgirl.cloudWeetHetI personally really liked macOS 26 sidebars, they felt very consistent with the whole layered design13:07:31
@viraptor:tchncs.deviraptor They needed some serious tweaking though. There's been a number of times looking at Finder when I was convinced the layout/app is broken before realising it's just using weird sidebars. They have some way to go there...
Ideally I'd just theme the whole thing myself 😒

@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeMake the toolbar solid and put the old Aqua glass back IMO. This gray on gray design is not good.13:25:25
@khaneliman:matrix.orgAustin Horstmani wasn't excited about any announcment this year, but i did appreciate finally implementing the slider for preference on how much transparency lol13:25:34
@sarahec:matrix.orgSarah ClarkI don't envy the engineers who are trying to untangle the visual mess left by Alan Dye and his people.18:31:39
@winter:catgirl.cloudWinter @alexfmpe @eveeifyeve @debtquity re: the linux builder stuff, i spent an exuberant amount of time looking into this a while ago (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/407513, https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/497056), and i'm pretty sure all of the issues have been ironed out as of late April.

please, please provide any form of reproduction instructions for the issues you're running into, and i'd be happy to look into them. thank you!

@debtquity:matrix.orgdebtquitywould the config suffice?19:48:39
@debtquity:matrix.orgdebtquityi just ended up spinning up vm with orbstack and used that as x86_64-linux and aarm64-linux builder19:50:02
@nasso:matrix.orgnassomacOS 27 will be my first major update since i installed determinate nix and nix-darwin im a little scared22:03:36
@samasaur:matrix.orgsamasaur either one of those should handle the upgrade fine on their own, you shouldn't run into any issues unless you're (one of) the first to do the update AND apple updated a file in /etc 22:07:29
@samasaur:matrix.orgsamasaurand even in that case you just move the offending file out of the way22:08:00

@winter:catgirl.cloudWinteri’d need to see what you were pinning (or tell me if you use channels or flakes or what/give lockfile &c…) but probably22:41:04
