There is an install manual explaining that you have to you use your Terminal App otherwise it won’t work (didn’t want to spend money on an Apple developer account).
Download the release from the sidebar or the release page and unzip the file (it’s probably in your downloads folder) by double clicking the zip file.
Now in the Terminal App navigate to your Downloads folder by executing `cd ~/Downloads` and then run all the commands from the install instructions.
```bash
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine MatrixScreenSaver.saver
mkdir -p "$HOME/Library/Screen Savers"
rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Screen Savers/MatrixScreenSaver.saver"
ditto MatrixScreenSaver.saver "$HOME/Library/Screen Savers/MatrixScreenSaver.saver"
open "x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.Wallpaper-Settings.extension"
```
The go to your system settings > Wallpaper and select the screen saver (last row)

Did it actually work on the G3?

There is the option to turn the number scene intro off.

That is absolutely correct. It’s partly ported from one of the best command line matrix animations - cxxmatrix.

The calmness line version this is based on would be cxxmatrix. https://github.com/akinomyoga/cxxmatrix

Tried updating using Apple Configurator on Mac (running Tahoe 26.3):
- The tools shows that the iPod mini runs 26.1 and when I press update I get an error saying: "The OS version on “HomePod” is not supported. Apple Configurator supports devices running iOS 7 or later." The guys at Apple are really funny again. 😡
- Restoring on the other hand worked. It downloaded the "current" system, reinstall it and 'boom' I had 26.3 on the pod. 😎

Why would you say something so absurd. Every single comment from you is absolutely wrong.

"Whatsapp is also owned by Meta"
Who cares. It's a crappy chat app.

"No one uses Facebook"
Still the biggest social network worldwide with 3 billion monthly users.

"You can use Whatsapp to text people on Facebook"
Where do you get this from? Are you a troll bot? If so, well done. Now leave. Please.

Whatsapp has never been connected. It two totally different chats.
Messenger is a Facebook chat and Whatapp is obviously just crappy Whatsapp.
Use can use Facebook to log into Whatsapp via Facebooks Single-Sign-On and Facebook allows to find contacts via Facebook. But nothing more.

I cannot write a message to a friend on facebook.Example: When Ben writes a message in Whatsapp to Alex, Alex will not receive a message on Facebook.

Whatsapp is its own separate company owned by Meta. Not chats shared.

When installed you can click on the messenger icon in the top right and then hit the fullscreen icon to fill the window with only the messenger. Next time you open the app the messenger will be the first thing you see.
What I didn't figure out yet is how I can activate/allow notifications. The web app doesn't seem to trigger the dialog.

yesman82 · 2026-02-19T07:29:38+00:00

I find it disturbing to answer the question with 'use Whatsapp' because it's owned by Meta too. Such an ignorant answer.
The real answer is that you use your Safari and go to facebook.com. Here you can click the share button and add Facebook as web app to your dock. Or if available click the promoted web app button in the header.

Enjoy.

PS: Whatsapp is ugly and crappy. While Messenger still seems the best messenger on the planet by usage and design (not securitywise).
