Anyone figured out some magic defaults write command on #macOS #Tahoe #tahoe26 that can reduce the ridiculous large corner radius?

So, is there a MacOS extension that distributes apps across desktops? I have a habit of opening everything on one desktop and it's always a mess lol.

Is it possible on #macOS to send audio from #VLC to #HomePods?
I seem to be able to do this in Safari on Youtube player. But I don't think that's relevant in any way.

Liquid Glass rhymes with kiss Trump’s ass… coincidence? 🤔

My Mac desktop is a nice complicated dark-ish rain-forest scene. This is not playing well with Liquid Glass.
Looking for a way to make the Dock non-transparent so I can actually see the little black dots that tell me whether something is running…
The transparent menu bar is change for the sake of change. Feaugh.

My macOS laptop has felt... less than responsive of late.
I'm thinking about hitting the restore-to-factory-defaults type button and using Time Machine to bring stuff back.
I haven't done this procedure in probably 5-10 years.
Any hiccups or pitfalls I should know about?

Unfortunately CrossOver Preview seems to have gotten rid of the "Display Settings" sidebar on the right which let you simulate different display geometries than what wine auto-detected, which was very helpful for on-the-go #Steam gaming on #macOS on my MBP since rarely does it detect proper 16:10 or 16:9.
I used this, for example, with #BluePrince to ensure the left and right sides of the display were not cropped.
As an odd, but very workable, alternative solution - if you get the free edition of BetterDisplay and have it create a Virtual Display of the aspect ratio you want and then enable it, you can go into Settings -> Displays and configure your built-in display as a mirror for the virtual display.
The net result will be that it forces your only real display to conform to match the mirrored alternative geometry. Doesn't seem to be too much of a performance impact so far, but I haven't tried it with any super intense games either yet.

I don't know how #MacOS can be so popular with #developers given how actively hostile it is to being able to generate core dumps or attach #debuggers. I guess most people are using it to shell t…

What's wrong with this #macOS launch plist?

What are the bets that I can update #macOS on my external disk to #Tahoe while the internal disk is still on #Sequoia?

Why does anyone use #icecubesapp on #macOS?
I don't get it?
Your Mastodon-Instance doesn't have a web-ui?

My internal HD is 1TB. and I am using 600gb of it. When I setup my 2TB external SSD drive as a TimeMachine I received a warning that it wasn't enough space! Why! #macOS

Das man bei MacOS jetzt bei jedem Neustart von Neuem das Verbinden von USB-Geräten zulassen muss, macht den Nutzen des ClamShell-Modus ziemlich zunichte. 🙄
Zumindest, wenn man kabelgebundene, mechanische Tastaturen verwendet.

Also... why can't I make the Applications window bigger?! Why is it stuck at that stupid size?!
So many stupid design decisions.
Stupid Tahoe.

The MacBookPro disaster is complete, more or less.
The problem: after installing macos 26.0.1 the MBP failed to reboot successfully. It kept going to the apple logo and the progress bar stopped, and eventually the mac went to Recovery Mode.
Tried:
1. re-install macos Tahoe - no luck.
2. reset NVRAM
3. reset SMC
4. re-install from Time Machine backup on NAS. Took 44 hours.

Fingerprint option for login missing most of the time after installing #MacOS 15.7.1 (24G231). Regular search and Apple support useless.
Perplexity:
The fingerprint login option missing most of the time after installing macOS 15.7.1 is a widely reported issue, especially with MacBook Pro. Many users note that the Touch ID option either does not appear at login or takes a significant dela…

When I'm on the road and set up Airplay from my Mac on the random “smart” TV in the hotel/Airbnb/etc, about half the time my browsers lose the ability to play video. Searching the Internet turns up many similar problems, but not this one. Happens all the time. This just a well-known fail?

“#macOS #Tahoe is a great update for Mac productivity, the best in many years.”
If you upgraded to Tahoe, is this how you find it?

With my new job, #Linux wasn't an option, so I needed to get used to #MacOS for work.
Many things were weird especially shortcuts or lack thereof.
But now things run smoothly, especially since I discovered

The smart thing will be to NOT upgrade to macOS 26 next Monday and wait for .1 or even .2 instead. #apple #macos #tahoe #quality

Welp - trying to work out how to build a #Linux #kernel under a #MacOS shell is sending me down a bit of a rabbit hole.
