I've been using macOS/X since Panther.
It's always felt ultra compressed - perfect in form.

I've been aware of sloppy stuff since Catalina.

For example, you can see your trusted devices on iCloud.com and it lists all devices and their Apple Pay cards. On id.apple.com, the cards are missing from the Macs, not from the iDevices. On System Preferences, the same.


It's getting messy, even look at this stylistic disparity in the same config Window in macOS:







* Want / Wish
* a 30 day period / 30 days to




This might seem minor, and it is, but this is the type of slop that's been slowly creeping in.

Memory leak fixes please.

Hope this addresses some of the outstanding issues.

Yeah like the Apple Music app sucking ('https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/can-we-talk-about-how-apple-music-is-a-mess-on-monterey.2335508/').

Maybe this one will finally fix the USB bugs
