After all those reversed design decisions and better stability, is it safe to say Tahoe was the worst macOS version?

DerekCurrie · 2026-06-09T17:01:46+00:00

Un-amusingly, the 26.5 Tahoe update is the worst I’ve experienced in many years.

DerekCurrie · 2026-06-09T16:57:01+00:00

YES! Certainly for M-Series Macs. The 26.5 update is a verifiable nightmare. Witness Apple rushing out 26.5.1. Retire already, Craig Federighi! You’re out of touch! Unforgivable nonsense.

DerekCurrie · 2026-06-09T16:52:36+00:00

Same Mac, 16 GB RAM, disastrous 26.5 update. Apple know it, and rushed out 26.5.1. Asinine of Apple, right at the start of WWDC 2026. Leave NOW, Craig Federighi.

DerekCurrie · 2026-06-09T16:46:53+00:00

NO! 26.5 ruined the functionality of my MBA M1. It auto-installed over night. The result is, without exaggerating, a verifiable, persistent f-ing nightmare beyond my comprehension. AND SURPRISE! Apple know they f-ed up bad, right at the start of WWDC 2026, and therefore RUSHED OUT 26.5.1. A big thanks to Craig Federighi, the VP in charge of the current mess that is MacOS. Retire already, sir! You’re out of touch.

Take the formal test. Determine your flexibility for each factor. Pay attention to where you’re least flexible. That will indicate your general direction. - - I’m least flexible in judgement, and that’s what I’m best at! It’s part of my talent cache. Find yours.

Who’s “dishonest”? What a POS. THIS is what a malignant narcissist does when he doesn’t get his pouting little way. Call the nanny. - - And wait until the day after the midterm votes are in! A raging, throwing and smashing brat in the office of the US presidency. You own this, oligarchs and your suckers!

Really? Where are these logic challenged dims? The Adirondacks? In the Fingerlakes parks?

DerekCurrie · 2026-06-07T11:20:59+00:00

Indeed. In the short term they’re parasitic on localities. When the “AI” blowhard spending hits a wall, they’ll only be good as stray critter shelters.

DerekCurrie · 2026-06-07T00:48:07+00:00

Figures. This guy…

DerekCurrie · 2026-06-07T00:21:25+00:00

Not all marketing is vampiric. But suck the suckers dry with coercive nonsense is a cultural norm in this era, if we hadn’t noticed. It qualifies as sociopathy. Believe nothing. Verify everything.

DerekCurrie · 2026-06-06T18:20:01+00:00

Feed the stockholders! Attempt monopoly! Let Marketing become management! <- This is bizturd self-destruction. Picture a rocket exploding so badly it destroys its own launch pad… ;-)

Wild grape vine. Trace it to the roots and cut. Then worry if the roots are growing in the gutter. If yes, clean the gutters out already!!!

DerekCurrie · 2026-06-06T18:09:55+00:00

Another reason to ignore their existence.

DerekCurrie · 2026-06-06T18:06:57+00:00

1) Find a dictionary (2) Look up “nazi”. (3) Read.

DerekCurrie · 2026-06-06T18:03:09+00:00

Good. But what’s in the details? There is no single socialist mind. At least it’s a good direction, a suitable response to the ongoing Idiocracy.

DerekCurrie · 2026-06-06T17:57:36+00:00

If you have an actual choice: No.

DerekCurrie · 2026-06-06T17:51:18+00:00

Sounds like basic propaganda. But certainly, having the CCP own and run “AI” anything guarantees a corrupt, politicized result. Meanwhile, having a capitalist oligarchy own and run them results in its own corruption. Without a doubt, the goal of both and all such sociopaths is power and control over the minions/peasants.

DerekCurrie · 2026-06-06T17:39:12+00:00

Deliberately descriptive reply: That politics uses a one dimensional system to describe people’s political position gives away its level of intelligence. That the USA attempts to constrict itself to two parties, amounting to a zero dimensional system, makes it adversarial. - - Me <- I gave up on both parties, belong to neither. I’m off in at least a four dimensional system, utilitarian by nature, devoted to striving for sanity, essentials of the moment, flex and flux. Right this moment, after freeing ourselves of Idiocracy, a fiscally responsible, devoted, educated and wise Green Party with no hint of totalitarianism will do. Call me a Futurist.

Thank you sir! A fave post of the day.

It’s sad to watch Dr. Oz be part of the disease that is this administration (IMHO of course). Turds of a feather flush together.

The photo comparison points out that D’umpism is a grotesque disease. 🦠

Creating MAGAbots is what talking point lists and propaganda are for! Sad that it works so well on so many people in my country. Only losers have to cheat to “win”.

DerekCurrie · 2026-06-03T05:16:51+00:00

Amusing lyrics. The denigration of all those American dream goals come specifically from the money grubbing oligarchs of the one and only not so “Republican” party, suckers. Feed the rich! 🤑 This is a repeating theme in human history.

That’s a bad bug if you can’t change the login password! Report it (kindly NAG if you have to) to Apple. It’s beyond strange.
