It's pretty sad that Apple's app review doesn't include checking to make sure an app isn't impersonating an existing popular app. Especially for crypto/financial apps!

I've used Linux on desktops/laptops intermittently since the year 2000, but I've been using mostly MacOS in recent years. With Apple not inspiring confidence lately, I wanted to try using Linux as a daily OS again. So I installed Fedora on a laptop last month. After installation I noticed that the colors on my OLED display were very oversaturated. After some frustrating attempts to get ICC profiles working, I was dismayed to read this:

Sounds like Wayland color management is... almost done? But the lack of a complete implementation didn't stop my distro from making Wayland the default. So now I'm left having to choose between using the cool new Wayland compositors and having accurate colors in my photo editing apps :(

The procession of screenshots showing the Pages toolbar changing over the years is incriminating. For years the UI has been sliding in the direction of being simpler and (arguably) prettier, at the cost of being harder to understand and use. But all of the designs through Big Sur seem to at least be usable, even if they were making compromises to UX for the sake of clean-looking design.

And then you get to Tahoe and both the UX and visual design completely fall apart. The separation between chrome and content is literally blurred, and the visual hierarchy is unclear. (Are the buttons on the right part attached to the top toolbar or the sidebar? There's no way to tell!) It doesn't look clean, it's just a mess.

The Adobe DNG standard for raw camera images is based on TIFF as well. DNG is used in lots of places, including the raw capture support built into all modern iOS and Android smartphones.

I’ve been using both TIFF and DNG this very week in my work (https://filmlabapp.com), so I was happy to read this post and learn about Steve Carlsen aka Mr. TIFF, whose work we’re still building on 39 years later.
