iChat AV walked so that FaceTime could RUN!

Ooooofff… look at those sweet, sweet animations as people enter or exit a video chat. I miss fun, whimsical Apple!

I can't seem to find this video "Inside Tiger" anywhere online... Has anyone recall seeing it before?

Решил не апгрейдить второй #macmini до leopard, а оставить под tiger. Последняя #MacOSX чисса под #PowerPC, лео уже гибридным был
Ставим #Tigerbrew

A new #blog post appears!

I built a native GCC 14.2.0 for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger PowerPC.

I miss #Skitch for annotating screenshots ("not available in your country"). Any secure alternatives for screenshot annotations? (I can create & paste screenshots via mac shortcuts, but I'd love to have something for quick annotations) https://apps.apple.com/us/app/skitch-snap-mark-up-share/id425955336?mt=12

Mac OS X Aqua vs macOS Big Sur’s “UI.”

For #MARCHintosh I got out my old intel iMac that was given to me like a few years ago to reinstall Leopard

If you're looking for software to create and maintain a copy of your #music files in other formats, be it for storage on #portable devices, #format #compatibility or #streaming, then you might be interested in that piece of #software I wrote :
https://framagit.org/atom/AtOM

It's #GPL, and should run on #Linux (tested on Debian Bookworm and Trixie), #MacOSX (looking for testers), and #WSL (looking for testers).

Accsessing my blog on Safari from a Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. Pretty cool that I can accsess the internet on a now almost 20 year old os. But, I don't know what else to do with a Mac emulator?

it may not have been peak OS X, but it was peak apple box art.

one of the most important mac applications i've had since the powerpc days is telestream's ScreenFlow.... which began its life as a simple screen recording app, and slowly transitioned into a full tilt video editing suite over the next 15+ years. i've paid for a couple of upgrades over the years, just because it's 100x more enjoyable than dealing with final cut pro

screenflow has two cringe-inducing downsides:
- it requires activation (with a serial number)
- telestream breaks compatibility with older versions of OS X every single year and won't support older versions after a period.

they officially quit supporting anything older than v9.0 in 2021, which is tantamount to publicly announcing that v1.0 - v8.0 are now abandonware.

long story short: i spent the night archiving every single release of ScreenFlow from WBM and uploaded them to the mac garden. if you've got anything from OS X 10.5 to 10.14, you now have a working copy of screenflow.

they are uncracked at the moment - but i've contacted a fellow macgarden member who may know how to disable the activation on them.

@jonmsterling AquaUI in Podcast Chapters! Took me until now to realize that I have never used that interface in retina resolution before, and it sure doesn't hurt the look!

(Looked surprisingly good in dark mode as well, I have to say.)

Digging through the hard drives… been looking for the original files for some photos of Mum's previous cat, Tom.

Of course, you find everything you thought you had lost… and things you forgot you ever had.

A collaborative project at QUT, was this whiteboard artwork, the "War of the Operating Systems".

update: thanks to @juniper for tracking down this exceptional resource for getting your old mac back on the road. most importantly, has a nice local proxy to get you TLS 1.3 ("Legacy Mac Proxy")

if you’ve got an old mac that has to remain on an older version of Mac OS X, you’ve probably noticed that all of its SSL based internet connections fail.

it’s due to expired root certificates, which you can update for free here:

just put this 10 year old macbook air back to work as my couch coding machine. it is blazingly fast running 10.9.x (Mavericks) with only 4GB ram and a 1.4ghz i5. for VS Code work it is about as perfect as I could ask for

fwiw: it runs like absolute shit on mojave!

Upgrading to the latest Mac OS X from 10.0 or 9. That platinum theme UI was sooooo crunchy good though!!!

Mmmmm A fresh install of Mac OS X Tiger and a brand new iTunes Library just waiting for music files!

Or your .Mac email messages downloading into Mail.app...

or maybe discovering Spotlight for the first time...

Launching Dashboard for the first time and seeing that oozy acid green LCD on the iTunes Widget for the first time...

1. Clear distinction of the titlebar so the user knows exactly where they can drag the window from.
2. Visual affordance handle to resize the sidebar.
3. The perfect use of bottom bars!!!
4. Sidebar is a single color and not distracting with translucent material behind it.
5. Buttons look like actual, press-able, tactile even buttons.
6. Search bar is clearly a search bar with round endcaps.
7. Color icons!!!
