goosing the numbers

In the age of AI, I've started to like the term “expressive” rather than "creative" to describe the arts.

Maybe it's just because “creative” has become so burdened by, idk, corporate ideas.

But I actually think it gets at the heart of what differentiates art made by humans from art made by a model. It’s not just that you’re creating something, it’s not just about the output; it’s that the process itself expresses your humanity, your inner life, your perspective.

Found the last vestige of Aqua in macOS Tahoe 🥲

Most of the time on macOS Tahoe, toolbar buttons float over blurry content that ~flows~ beneath them. But there are some situations (e.g. List View in Finder, searching in Preview) where the toolbar takes on a solid background, and it always feels SO much better to use 🥲
