Somebody would like you to know #spring has arrived in the northern hemisphere (sound on if you can partake).
I replied politely
Here's one for the icons-in-menus haters on macOS Tahoe:
defaults write -g NSMenuEnableActionImages -bool NO
It even preserves the couple of instances you do want icons, like for window zoom/resize
I know it’s kitschy, but who can’t use a little whimsy about now?

Hi, infosec.exchange! I'm Ross, a cybersecurity consultant in Edmonton, Canada. I run nonprofittechsupport.ca — free and pay-what-you-can security services for Canadian nonprofits and municipalities.
Day-to-day: Active Directory assessments, incident response, and investigating employment fraud campaigns (my recent investigations have uncovered some creative scam infrastructure).
Excited to join a community that values security research and open discussion.
