At Vivaldi we continue to make choices that are different from our competitors. We have chosen to not integrate AI or crypto, but instead we integrate a wealth of other features, based on the wishes of our users.

We are a European company with most of the team based in Norway and Iceland, a few around Europe and a couple in the US.

Our servers are based in Iceland.

If you want to get away from Big Tech, maybe give us a try? If you are already using Vivaldi, maybe introduce your friends?

Have a nice day!

is there a macOS application that can do basic audio routing/mixing? e.g., mix these inputs and send the audio to this output, then send this other input to a different output. something like Cantabile (for Windows), if anyone knows that.

at the moment i use Logic to do this, but it's rather overkill for something this basic.

Running out of disk space on your Linux, macOS, BSD, or Unix-like OS? Or perhaps you're hitting the classic disk quota limits set by your sysadmin? Fear not. Run `du -sh * | sort -h` command to get a sorted list of your directory sizes so you can remove or compress unwanted files. Here is another useful shell alias:
```
alias ducks='du -cks -- * | sort -rn | head'

Every year I end up revisiting the fact that #Apple #Photos has absolutely crap exporting and archiving features, so this year I decided to rewrite my #macOS #export scripts in #Swift:

https://github.com/rcarmo/PhotosExport

I'm using the final stretch of the year to set up my new #Linux box. Been out of the game for about 3 years, because my (ironically #FOSS) work requires #macOS (so I just used that as my day-to-day).

Quite amazed how good things have gotten. I have had some issues, but mainly because of my poor choice of hardware.

How “Liquid Glass” working out for you? I’m still afraid to upgrade #macOS and #iOS to their latest versions.

#macOS
once upon a time I bought the M2 MacBook Air
#nix
It is not much more than a year since I began exploring nix (or is it two years, I fool myself)
#DeterminateSystems
It did not take long before I discovered that to use nix on mac requires extra effort, when there inevitably are updates or upgrades. Apple has opinions. The opinionated nix, or more precisely its installer offload that effort.
#NixDarwin
nix-darwin enables system wide nix on macOS
#homebrew
Part reason I began using nix was moving away from Homebrew
#direnv
Exploring nix workflow led me to direnv, a powerfull way to load environments by entering directories. It works really great in tandem with nix. It is the sole homebrew package in my macOS
#asahi #linux
geerlingguy first reminded me of the possibility to install linux on my mac several years ago when the good folks at asahi released asahi linux
#arch #Wayland #Hyprland
Even more years ago I first began hearing the arch buzz, but lately this year buzz on arch using the Hyprland Wayland compositor for a tiled desktop got bumped and
#omarchy
the opinionated linux iteration No. 2 in DHH's series of "omakase" linux, making it easy for everyone to jump from apple to linux
#AsahiAlarm
Asahi has a project going on with fedora, but there is also the Asahi-Alarm based on arch. This is great because the arch project mainly focus on x86-64. Asahi-Alarm makes arch linux for aarch64/arm64 with the overarching project Asahi's focus on mac hardware.

Putting it all together tiredkebab manages scripts for mac based on DHH's omarchy

I then make my own opinions with nix, flakes.nix, and direnv.

Desktop 版 #Vivaldi に来ている機能で、次の安定版 に来るはずの Auto Hide 機能を使うと、 #macOS の でここ数年消すことが出来なくなっていたウインドウ左上の信号ボタン 🔴🟡🟢 を隠すことができるということに気がついて 一時的にデスクトップ版の方もスナップショット をプライマリーブラウザーに指定して試してる。

Auto hide を有効にするとアドレスバー、タブバー、パネル、ステータスバーのそれぞれを Auto hide の対象にするかどうか選択できるんだけど、自分の使い方だとどれもショートカットキーで明示的に出したり隠したりしたいのですべてチェックは外しつつ、 Auto hide そのものの設定だけを有効にすると、添付の1枚目のキャプチャみたいに、タイトルバーだけが Auto hide の対象になり、ウインドウ画面上部にポインターを持っていったときだけ信号 🚥 ボタンが表示されるようになる。
これは自分が結構求めていたやつかもしれない

ちなみに、 Auto hide を有効にするとウインドウの上下左右に 6px のグレーの余白が生まれるんだけど、それは以下の CSS を当てて消した。

```css
.auto-hide {
--_gutter-size: 0;
grid-template-columns: var(--_gutter-size) [content] 1fr var(--_gutter-size);
grid-template-rows: var(--_gutter-size) [content] 1fr var(--_gutter-size);
& > :is(.top, .bottom, .left, .right) {
display: none;
}
}
```

I've had exactly the same experience! Migrated from #MacOS to #Ubuntu #Linux over the summer. #Firefox was the default browser. In my case FF had/has a huge memory leak that was left to fester for over a month. Looked around and switched to the #Vivaldi browser thinking I'd lose #uBlock--but (pleasant surprise!) there was no limitation on that or any other plug-in I have. 🙂

So far (less than a month) I'm very impressed and happy with Vivaldi. Recommended! 👍

@Vivaldi

The focus for us at @Vivaldi has always been to do what our users want us to do. So we have spent time on things like:

- Work spaces and tab stacks
- Tab tiling
- Mouse gestures
- Customizable keyboard shortcuts
- Tracker and ad blocker
- Panels and Web panels
- Cross platform, encrypted sync function
- Advanced bookmarking function with speed dials
- Customizable dashboard
- Massive customization options in general.
- Notes functionality

We have also added stuff like this in our desktop browser

- Mail client
. Calendar
- Feed reader
- Proton VPN integration

Not everyone uses everything we make, but that is also the point. The fact that we listen to special requests is IMHO a feature and not a bug. We value power users as well.

On the other hand, we have stayed away from certain things. Things like:

- Blockchain / Crypto currencies
- AI

You can find us on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android and iOS. You can even find us in many cars running Android Automotive.

We are not the largest browser company in the world, but we are dedicated and we are growing. More and more are giving us a try. Have you?

Celluloid: A Virtual Camera App for macOS

I’ve had a Logitech C920 webcam for years. It’s a solid camera, but I’ve always hated its color grading — it pushes everything red, making me look perpetually sunburned on video calls.

Zoom has a “Touch up my appearance” filter that helped a bit, but most of my calls happen in Google Meet, which doesn’t have anything comparable. I wanted a solution that worked across all my video apps — set it once and forget it.

So I built one.

Introducing Celluloid – Camera Filters

Celluloid is a macOS menu bar app that creates a virtual camera with real-time filters and color adjustments. Select “Celluloid Camera” in any video app — Zoom, Google Meet, FaceTime, Microsoft Teams, OBS — and your enhanced video just works.

Features include:

• Film-inspired filters — Black Mist (dreamy diffusion), Halation (vintage highlight bloom), Gate Weave (film projector movement), plus classics like Noir and Chrome
• Color controls — Brightness, contrast, saturation, exposure, color temperature, and sharpness
• Built-in LUTs — Professional color grades ready to use, including one specifically tuned to fix the Logitech C920’s color issues
• Battery friendly — The camera only activates when an app is actually using it
• Privacy focused — All processing happens locally on your Mac. No data collected or transmitted.

How It Works

Celluloid uses Apple’s CMIOExtension framework to register a virtual camera device with macOS. The main app captures video from your physical webcam, applies filters using Core Image and custom Metal shaders, then sends the processed frames to the camera extension via CoreMediaIO sink streams.

The technical journey was interesting — I tried several IPC approaches (file-based sharing, CFPreferences, shared memory) before landing on sink streams, which turned out to be the correct approach for CMIOExtensions running in their restricted sandbox.

Some technical highlights:

• SwiftUI for the interface
• AVFoundation for camera capture
• Metal-backed CIContext for GPU-accelerated filter processing
• Custom Metal shaders for the Black Mist diffusion effect
• CVPixelBufferPool for efficient buffer reuse
• Darwin notifications for IPC between the app and extension

Get It

Celluloid – Camera Filters is available now on the Mac App Store.

The code is open source on GitHub.

If you’ve ever wished you could look a little better on video calls without buying studio lighting, give it a try. And if you have ideas for new filters or LUTs, I’d love to hear them.

Hey Apple engineers, I’ve now got a sysdiagnose that should capture this serious excessive CPU usage issue with Pages, corespotlightd, fileproviderd, com.apple.CloudDocs.iCloudDriveFileProvider, tccd, etc that occurs when shared Pages documents stored on iCloud Drive are left open in the background.

FB21369001

It is happening again today and is starting to become very annoying, because it kills battery life.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@mjtsai/115652127312295924

I'm definitely having this issue.

Today I noticed my MacBook Pro was warm to the touch and had used 30% of its battery in an hour, which never happens. Looking in Activity Monitor there was constant high CPU usage in fileproviderd caused by Pages being open in the background with a shared document that's in iCloud Drive.

Seems like a very serious bug.

長いこと デスクトップでは

* 下部のステータスバーにアドレスバーの機能をマージ
* アドレスバーは下部に配置&基本非表示（メールの時だけ表示される）

という設定にしてたけど、
タブバーもアドレスバーも上部にない状態だと、

* デフォルトでは #macOS デフォルトのウインドウに表示されるタイトルバーが表示されてしまう
* それを #CSS で隠したとしても左上の信号ボタン 🔴🟡🟢 だけは消せない

という状態になっちゃうので、

* 左サイドに置いたタブバーの上部に 🔴🟡🟢 を表示するためのスペースを空ける
* 左サイドにタブバーがない時（自分はタブバーをけっこうな頻度で隠す）は Web ページ領域に 🔴🟡🟢 が重なることを許容する

と言う工夫・妥協が必要だったので、思いきって逆にステータスバーを非表示にして、上部に表示したアドレスバーにステータスバーの機能もマージする、という感じにしてみた。

こうすることで

* 基本的にはアドレスバーは非表示にすることはないので 🔴🟡🟢 がWeb ページとかに重なることが少なくなる

ので、不自然な見え方になるケースが減るのではないかという仮説を検証していく生活にこれから入っていく。

#macOS developers: is there a way to get a *raw*, unprocessed video stream for just getting the pixels out of a camera? No Center Stage, no Reactions, no background replacement, and no interaction from the user to allow enabling any of that. Like if I wanted to set up a telescope for astrophotography, weather monitoring, security surveillance, or literally any use case which isn't "pointing the camera at my face for a video call". Is AVFoundation too high-level for this?

Mac Tip:

You can even change its color.

Tried using a Mac and apparently you cannot run third party apps at all anymore. The spctl trick doesn’t work anymore and leads to this.

I like how the os is killing the process (SIGKILL) and then tries to pain this as an error in the app.

Why can’t both Microsoft and Apple just let me use my computer? I feel like I’m going insane.

@nixCraftnixCraft 🐧 🤷 with MS Windows you have to buy a new soundcard or another machine, notebook /laptop in those sitiuations.

And the older your hardware gets, the more likely it will no longer run on Windows or macOS, support will expire, and updates will be missing. With Linux, the opposite is true.

there's always something

TLDR: I believe, UX needs to be a required hard-skill for all working in tech. All of us building products have to learn to empathize with non-techie-people using our products. And just like with any kind of inclusivity issue: we must include the not-so-savvy people in the process of developing and testing products.
