I Could've Rickrolled the Entire FIFA World Cup.

macOS Golden Gate Icon Comparison
Comprehensive for sure. Tahoe's icons look so washed out compared to the crispness of Golden Gate. Fantastic update across the board and I've already updated the icons for Waylist to take advantage of the new settings available in the Icon Composer beta.

★ Jony Ive Shows Me The Most Controversial Ferrari Ever (Ferrari Luce)
I've linked to 35:10 in this video where Jony Ive and Flavio Manzoni talk through the design around Ferrari's Luce. The next 4 minutes are a fantastic conversation around the task in hand when building an EV supercar versus a "regular" supercar.
I found it fascinating and feel like I should clip this and watch it often. If nothing else, I didn't realise there was effectively an exoskeleton around the Luce until I saw the animation around these points.
Also, the interior is just beautiful.

Apple Should Set and Enforce Some Basic Standards for Custom Video Players on tvOS
I'm actually not sure which apps on the Apple TV actually use the default timeline but you do find yourself putting up with the nonsense and the frustration that comes with them deviating from the standard.
Agree with John Gruber here, if your player doesn't match the default player then the app should be rejected. We're talking about million and billion-dollar corporations here, not indie developers.

Countdown Standard
It annoys me when people say they are going to count down but actually count up. It annoys me way more than it should and while I chuckled at this post, it did rile me up!

Let Us Learn to Show Our Friendship for a Man When He Is Alive and Not After He Is Dead
I am finding more space for AI in my development workflow, although I spend a lot of time checking it's homework. I'm less trustworthy of it in other places. I think Sam Altman is at the heart of my distrust of the industry. I won't say anymore, and there are just too many quotes to pull so just go read this commentary by John Gruber.

Photochrom Prints of Rome
Via Kottke.org, these photos of Rome almost look like they're from another world.
Not much has changed around the Spanish Steps, St Peter's Square at the Vatican or with the actual Colosseum but what struck me was the total absence of people.
We visited Rome in October 2023 and it was busy. The quietest place we found ourselves was the Rome Zoo which we only visited because we had time to kill. Otherwise, every location worth visiting required queueing.
I'd love the opportunity to see Rome this quiet during the day.
