Yeah it's no secret, it was just a visual glitch that shouldn't have been visible to the end user. All NS* references can be traced back to NeXTSTEP

I'll grant you that!

I doubt it. That was when starting an audio recording. When starting a video recording, it's off-centre in the other direction, despite the UI being largely the same!

Interesting, someone else said they couldn't reproduce that either, but a quick search when I wrote it confirmed I was not the only one.

On reflection it does sound like I'm implying most things in this post are universal. I, of course, would have no way to verify that. Perhaps I should've taken greater pains to note that YMMV. Thanks for that.

To be fair I think most self-aware Apple fans would agree they're pretentious and hyper fixate on things

Papercuts, that's a neat way of describing them. Thanks for that!

Funnily enough that was one of the things Golden Gate fixed, at least for me on my M1.

Thank you, I'm stealing this

Yeah but the outer bit is still circular!

Oh, hyperbole and a half. It's a useable OS.

- Centring _is_ important! How dare you!

- Same for me now. Wasn't when I used it a few days ago.

- ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

- Very pedantic, I know. But look at some of the other icons close up, lots contain tiny details very few ever see (try the Mail app, the icon of a text file, or the loupe on the old Preview icon). That obsessive attention to detail feels like it's now in the past.

- Yeah could well be Firefox's fault. But it surfaced in Golden Gate, so I included it.

- You can trace anything NS* back to NeXTSTEP

- Not for me!
