So I crafted "a Keyboard Switcher" which is an open-source macOS menu bar application that makes it easier to switch paired Bluetooth input devices between Macs. Instead of manually reconnecting everything, you can simply release devices on one Mac and connect them on the other with just a few clicks.
Some of the features include:

Apple changes Full Disk Access permission in macOS
Apple's macOS has a Full Disk Access permission, designed to allow backup applications full access to, well, the disk, so they can perform their job properly. Apple posted a notice on its website that it's going to further restrict this permission, because some applications were abusing this permission to gain access to users' messages,

Bit disappointing.
Upgraded pkgsrc macOS build host from 14.x to 27.0.1, and MacFUSE to latest.
First run is showing consistently slower builds.
bindfs CPU usage seems higher, but I don't have accurate numbers on that. Also there is still the 2 minute delay to unmount /System.
Maybe next year?
The Mac Studio M5 Ultra can't give a proper Logic Pro X graph, because software wise Logic Pro is limited by 1000 concurrent tracks. 😱😂

“macOS Golden Gate is a buggy mess”
In June 2008 Apple announced Mac OS X Snow Leopard, proudly boasting that it would have "no new features". Instead of piling on new things, Snow Leopard aimed to build on the success of its predecessor, Leopard, opting to focus on under-the-hood performance and stability improvements throughout the system.
18 years later, Apple is taking a similar approach with

In the spirit of advocating for more native Mac Development, HIG topics, etc., I wanted to share (early) my upcoming app: Address Book.
It uses the Contacts API on Mac so it keeps everything in sync with your Contacts across your Apple devices — it’s just a new UI for macOS. One that works.
You’ll notice that this app isn’t trying to be “an experience” but more of a practical tool you can rely on. One that “just works.”
It is unapologetically “Macintosh.” Coming Soon.

There are clearly many reasons why people are switching to Vivaldi. Interestingly, my little survey shows that the top reasons have more to do with our values than particular features.
The #1 reason (77%) is the fact that we do not have built in AI. #2 is that we do not build profiles on our users (67%). #3 is that we are made in Europe. #4 and #5 is that we do not build in Crypto currencies and the built in ad and tracker blocker.
We will continue to listen to our users. We have chosen a different path to our competitors and we continue to try to do the right thing.
Thank you for your support!

I'm happy to report that MacOS 27 Golden Gate seems to run stable 24/7 on my Mac Mini M4 server. However there's not a lot installed on there.
I have decided not to upgrade my production machine YET. There's limited information available about audio plugin compatibility. Moreover Ableton Live doesn't seem to be officially supported yet.
Adobe Lightroom Classic/CS seem to have contrasting user experiences.

I am allowing multiple choices as I know for many of you it is not about one thing. Some of this is thing that we do, but I know for may it is also about things we do not do, such as including AI or Crypto currencies.

Looking forward to today's release o MacOS 27 Golden Gate. I honestly haven't been this excited about a new MacOS update for over a decade and I am considering a day 1 upgrade over my current Mac OS 15.7.9 Sequoia installation.
I have been testing Golden Gate earlier on an old Macbook Air M1 and it felt very polished, efficient. While I hated Tahoe and therefore never upgraded to it, I think Liquid Glass has been improved to the point that I'm ready to embrace it.
