@MKBHD There should be a slider from snowflake to engineer. Engineer setting would be total efficiency no superfluous animations and visual effects. Snowflake setting for those who prefer futilities over everything else.

Excellent addition — the Liquid Glass slider in macOS Golden Gate finally lets users dial in the right balance of clarity and depth. Subtle UI controls like this reduce cognitive load and support deeper focus, which matters a lot when working with AI agents or complex learning interfaces. How are you thinking about applying similar customization principles in your own tools?

@MKBHD What pisses me off is that’s not even fully clear like early Liquid Glass beta that I loved.

@MKBHD Apple finally listening to the people 😂🔥 Liquid Glass looked stunning in demos but fully clear was rough in daily use. A slider is the perfect compromise👏 Golden Gate is shaping up nicely 👀 #MacOS #Apple

@MKBHD If advancements in technology is focused on “how it looks” instead of “what difference does it make” it is not considered progress. Technology should not fashion. It should be utility.
