Is this accompanied by a launcher-style text field, or would this be the only way to select an application?<br/><br/>(Of course, the UX aspect of this thing might simply be irrelevant for what you&#39;re working on here, and yet, this thing did catch my designer&#39;s eye. 😉) 2026-08-14T15:55:33Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8vjampz5gpda0rsjykluksgh08x0r9e2fwl65fzwjmx027tqke7szyzrc2el5dpcqjca5fkls0pm8s7uvy5ztrkfvvxanjjtpt36a7qlgks8vyxn This notification has appeared several times on my Mac. All of the affected applications I saw are universal, though, and run on Intel and Apple CPUs. So does this mean that, despite their support for Apple silicon, they will no longer run (or &#34;open,&#34; as it says here…) in upcoming #macOS version? If so, what&#39;s the proper recourse? The notification isn&#39;t very helpful here, alas. And if the applications _will_ run, why show the notification with the Intel reference that doesn&#39;t apply?<br/><br/>#UX<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/116/508/705/966/859/601/original/743c04bbd9741cdb.png"> <br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/116/508/706/033/273/467/original/ce06cbd1ff7f3f8b.png"> <br/> 2026-05-03T04:16:10Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs99d7tevksh4ccjhvl8ep8dk9anew9cvqttpz0r9xffswf4v43gmgzyzrc2el5dpcqjca5fkls0pm8s7uvy5ztrkfvvxanjjtpt36a7qlgka24v8v This is a new one: A telephone text field (for US-formatted numberes) that requires 11, and not 10, digits.
