Here's how to disable Siri's new floating button in macOS 27

When Siri AI is enabled, macOS 27 adds a contextual "lightweight UI" when you type or select text. The floating button can expand into Ask Siri, Edit with Siri and Writing tools, or other contextual actions.

To disable it, run the following command in the Terminal:

sudo mkdir -p /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain && \
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/WritingTools LightweightUI_macOS -dict Enabled -bool false

and restart your Mac. To restore:

sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/WritingTools LightweightUI_macOS

Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie.

I couldn't feel more validated about deciding to release my Founder's Season Tickets for @ATLUTD

They are not urgently pursuing excellence. Garth's interview only confirms it.

@Fleks27 They could have done a better job with onboarding. Delves are fun, but it took me a few to get the hang of things.

@BlizzardCS DC'd and cannot log back in on any of my computers, gets stuck at the Warband screen with the message "Retrieving character list" and eventually errors out with an unable to connect message.

I only have a couple of hours left of weekend playtime, this is a bummer.

@PitakaGallery Would love all these without the name on the back.

@ron_fournier Not me. You want @pbump

College graduation speeches are often evergreen. They can be given at any time, similar from decade to decade.

Which is why Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker’s “How To Spot An Idiot” at Northwestern’s graduation is so genius.

It is the speech for TODAY

@tarproductions Either

Finished my 60th book of the year this morning.

I just released a really important Apollo update.

This version adds the ability for users with remaining subscription time left to decline an automatic refund. Devs pay refunds out of pocket, and this will be about $250K, so I thank you for any consideration there. ❤️

[Robert Occhialini @bump]

@SirScoots This is an excellent detail. Thank you.

We have been to Walt Disney World several times as a family.

We have decided, this Fall, to do Disneyland.

What do I need to know? I haven't been to Disneyland in a very long time.

Really wish that @Diablo IV ran on the Mac.

[Robert Occhialini @bump]

@noam Really worthwhile read, thanks for sharing.

[Robert Occhialini @bump]

@jw This was a great read, thanks for sharing.

@zenametal I'd do an all inclusive resort in Mexico or Dominican Republic.

[Robert Occhialini @bump]

@Mullenwrites I'd also mention the Submarine Force Museum.
