New comment by cyrc in "Palm OS User Interface Guidelines (2003) [pdf]"

cyrc — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 08:37:59 +0000

For user interface designers. A sincere request to consider these old interfaces like Palm OS, IBM CUA, Mac System 6 for a modern Linux GUI.

The simple black and white interface reduces cognitive load and decision fatigue. Modern UI like skeumorphic, material, drop shadows, 3d interface, aero, glass etc are high cognitive load for some individuals.

A text heavy interface and GUIs that are explicit, not implicit and learnt through discovery is easier for me.

A link to the an article. The picture shows that the IBM CUA works for both terminal and Windows 2.0 type GUI in simple black and white.

It would be great if somebody tried to create an opensource version of Rhapsody DR2 that ran on X86 baremetal.

Would not even need to be binary compatible. Source compatible API would be enough.

Rhapsody DR2 is more like Classic Mac than any current MacOS.

It was because of QuarkXPress and Photoshop. In the same way WordPerfect and Lotus 1-2-3 were dominant for business computers.

Wish someone would try to create native MacOS classic on x86 hardware.

There are so many Unix or Linux ABI compatible kernels like the recent Moss written in rust.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/optimizations-fo...

From the website; Optimizations for windowed games improves gaming on your PC by using a new presentation model for DirectX 10 and DirectX 11 games that appear in a window or in a borderless window.

When these optimizations are used, games that originally use the legacy blt-model presentation can use the newer flip-model presentation instead (if the game is compatible). This results in lower frame latency and lets you use other newer gaming features; for example, Auto HDR, and variable refresh rate (for displays that support it).

It is checked by default. Hope it helps.

Think it can be used for lockstep computing.

Also seems to be a way to bring microkernel benefit to Linux. Isolate system services.

New comment by cyrc in "WWDC25: macOS Tahoe Breaks Decades of Finder History"

cyrc — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 16:04:14 +0000

The old Finder logo is a clever ambiguous image. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambiguous_image

The new Finder logo has so much meaning symbolically for me. It actually has a very ugly meaning to me.

I felt that it is the end of the road for me. My first Mac was a Powermac 7300/200.

btw, nobody ever mentioned that the red close button is next to the minimize button. This is similar to the close button being next to the maximize button on Windows. Just reversed.

On Mac OS classic the close window button is on its own. I really miss Mac OS classic.
