Don't forget the Apple Mouse with the lightning port under the mouse so you can't use it while it charges. It's still the only Apple product with a design that makes me physically cringe.

I also find it awkward and uncomfortable to use, but that might just be me.

I love the Apple mouse. Been using it for 10ish years. But yeh it’s an absolute ball ache when it loses battery and you reallly need a mouse

When I had that Apple mouse, I kept around a separate wired mouse to use when it inevitably ran out of charge while I was in the middle of work. I won't just stop what I am doing just because Apple wants me to not use a mouse with the cord plugged in.

So the power button on the bottom of Mac Mini is fine?

I'm not familiar with the Mac Mini. I didn't know about that.

I was just going to say…the mouse has to go on its back to be charged lmao.

It's in the repo description at the top of the page.

I was never a fan of the skeuomorphic icons (and design in general), personally. I think there's a place for flat design and it isn't all bad, in particular peripheral UI elements, like the top menu bar, dock icons, etc. It is interactive elements that should be the ones to stand out, not everything.

If the homogeny of flat design makes the main interactive elements less salient, then everything designed to look 3D with glossy surfaces and brushed metal outlines does the same, just with noise.

I think there should be a combination of both, which I think is why many find the older interfaces from the 90s and early 2000s much more usable.

That's a long way of saying that I prefer the flat application icons and dock on current macOS. The dock stays in the peripheral and the icons identify the application all while not drawing my attention until I purposefully go to it.

I prefer the older psuedo-photorealistic icon style that macOS used to use because it makes dock icons, sidebar items, etc much easier to quickly distinguish. The icons in modern docks all bearing the same shape and rough set of colors significantly impairs usability.

Funnily enough, these are precisely the elements that are flat in the Windows 9x look. (Windows 9x does not have a "dock" but it does have a quick launch bar and a system tray, and these show flat icons.)

> And whatever happened to Keybase?

They got acquired by Zoom and promptly put Keybase into maintenance mode.

Criticizing any company is permitted, right?

Yes, but becomes uninteresting really quickly.

So click on another story. What everyone else is allowed to read or talk about shouldn’t be held hostage to the personal tastes of a tiny handful of anonymous people.

It's still a draft, so not officially standardized yet.

It's only marked as a draft because there has not been a PR to update the status as it was just approved this morning.
