final leg, though I am fairly certain it is on a plane and not _an Eagle_

OK, so I see that large-radius rounded corners are the New Thing on Mac OS

but is there any way that we can have the radii be the same? my focus-deprived brain has been screaming at this corner of my screen for the last 4 minutes
the corner of a Mac OS 26 screen. There are four windows visible, all of which have visibly markedly different corner radii what the actual fuck

ANOTHER SATISFIED CUSTOMER

(cc @hynek)
A mastodon screenshot: Chris says: | gave a talk at #PyConAU (also #PyOhio) about using Python's guardrails to make your code safer. It's a good talk, also features a 5-minute digression about the development of the Armco Crash Barrier. Get into it! To which Hynek replies: @chrisjrn you will be delighted to hear that | almost punched my monitor when you made the **** joke

Just landed back in Sonoma County, and oops I think we just flew over that Mac OS wallpaper 👀

UPDATE 🤩

#homeassistant
A home assistant dashboard shows a "charge now" and a "sync to solar" button; and graphs that show that the house has a kilowatt of power demand; 19A of excess solar capacity, targetting 15A of max current. A graph that shows solar power being generated and EV power consumed. The EV power consumed is tracking the power generated graph, and is keeping approximately 2kW of headroom a graph showing the electric demand of a house; it is showing that the demand is generally tracking between -1.5 and -0.5kW
