@nikitonsky@mastodon.online @siracusa@mastodon.social Looks like I’m going to be on Sequoia until maybe the M6 is available.

@nikitonsky Yeah. Software wise it went all to shit. Can’t put my finger on it but I’d say cost cutting for LLM gains

@nikitonsky omg... glad I didn't upgrade yet

@nikitonsky best part: the fastest supercomputer of this time is not so much faster than actual hardware on our desktops. 😌

@hairyvisionary@fosstodon.org 2026-04-27 22:08
@nikitonsky faster on my MB Pro 2021 M1, but it's Liquid Ass slowing stuff down and it really needs to be killed with fire

@nikitonsky This is the difference between treating your software as a key competitive advantage (Jobs era) vs. treating it as a cost center to be minimized (Cook era).

@nikitonsky Yep. I just grabbed an M4 Mac again so I could go back to Sequoia. I can't do anymore Tahoe at this point. This kinds of crap is everywhere in Tahoe.

@nikitonsky @siracusa I’m not a big “What would Steve do?” guy (in part because he implored us not to be), but he would definitely have been the human shield to protect us from Tahoe if that’s what it took. Such a shame. Putting all my faith in Ternus & Lemay for a rapid response to the worst of this nonsense.

@i_o_i@mastodon.social 2026-04-27 23:06
@nikitonsky And people keep asking me why I keep going back to older frameworks (UIKit, Core Data, etc.). You could get real performance while doing amazing things with those frameworks while the modern SwiftUI List slows to a crawl after 100-200 items for mysterious reasons. And that was before Liquid Glass.

@nikitonsky The 2007 Seadragon demo was mind blowing, and it went away and never came back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-8k8GEGZPM

@nikitonsky I’ve the 17 pro iPhone and very frequently I’ll open settings.app and the menu icons will take a second to fill. What the hell.

@Finin@toot.community 2026-04-28 01:20
@nikitonsky try changing your wallpaper or screensaver. Borderline unusable. Hangs forever.

@nikitonsky Resizing the windows of some of the new Tahoe apps (Contacts, Phone, Messages, etc.) is slow and drops frames on my 14” M1 MacBook Pro. Sure, it’s not brand new anymore, but it’s still faster than *every Intel Mac ever made*. Come on!

@nikitonsky @siracusa thank you. I’m sick of people saying Tahoe isn’t bad and “you just have to get used to it”. No it’s bad. As a user, I don’t care what framework is being used or whatever is causing that slow rendering etc. I care about the user experience. Which currently is bad.

@Cykelero@mas.to 2026-04-28 08:08
@nikitonsky For an even stronger effect: open the custom color popover, and *slide* the slider. This creates dozen of color updates, which are queued, and so the preview icons will keep changing colors for *minutes *

@nikitonsky @siracusa Remember when the M1 was out and everything was so fast that we even praised how changing screen resolution was instant, as opposed to the black screen and waiting that was all we had ever known? Now we can’t even change a few icon colours properly.

@nikitonsky I'm all for dunking on Apple but "loading 40 icons is much harder to do than playing 400 videos" is just one of those things that seem crazy from a "normal person perspective" but make perfect sense from the inside

@nikitonsky@mastodon.online I just started re-writing an app in AppKit/UIKit because SwiftUI is just too slow 🥲

@nikitonsky@mastodon.online That's the kind of performance I'd expect from running in a virtual machine with CPU emulation and no GPU acceleration.

@nikitonsky@mastodon.online I regularly marvel at having the fastest phone Apple has ever made and having to wait as Home Screen icons composite. Such a waste.
