So, any comments on the followers of morons like Fuentes and Tate who are in their teens and 20s? Oh, guess they’re totally not a bunch of dumbasses. Super smart rational people just doing some looksmaxxing.

Seems kind of drastic. In my experience, most people who have a problem with MacOS are simply not devoting enough effort to learning to use it. I was used to switching between Windows and every single desktop environment and window manager imaginable for Linux so using a Mac has never been remotely difficult or stressful for me. It’s a hell of a lot more familiar than Windows given that it has a real terminal.

Finder? I don’t really have a problem with it. I feel like it’s just as full featured as what you get on Lennox or windows.

Not quite. They’ve tried to adapt some iOS stuff to Mac now that iOS is by farther bigger operating system, but Max are at the core Unix, and you can access everything. You have a zsh shell and can do whatever you want with it. For instance if you get sick of the music app opening, just go remove the x flag from the executable. Can’t do that on an iPad. It’s really quite a capable desktop operating system and after using Linux for 15 years, I decided that I was tired of spending six days a year trying to configure my sound card and I’ve been pretty happy with a MacBook.

I spent about a decade and a half using solely Linux, and one thing I really appreciate is that if a particular distro or upgrade had some behavior I didn’t like, I could just switch to a different desktop or window manager. I went back and forth between gnome, windowmaker, KDE, LXDE and so on many times.

The scroll thing is annoying. I like the “natural” scroll on a touchpad but not a mouse also.

The multi desktop is the same as on Windows and Linux… I don’t use it on any system. I like how MacOS handles fullscreen apps better than either of those.

You can disable the startup sound very easily: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102230

I have only used mirroring to external monitor and not extending a desktop, so I don’t know. As far as maximization I personally hate windows expanding when I move them to the top of the screen. It’s rarely what I want so I turn it off. If I want to maximize it, I hit the green button.

You uninstall Apps by dragging their folder from the Applications folder to the trash can.

Closing the window and leaving the application running is how MacOS has worked forever for some Steve Jobs reason. I am used to hitting Cmd-Q.

The folder stuff can be weird. The way the Desktop icons work is one of the worst aspects, thigh they kind of fixed that (using expanding smart folders or whatever used to be chaos if they had a lot of items in them).

You can check the usage of a Volume from right clicking it in Finder and choosing Get Info. Or just df -h

In what ways does it aggressively get in your way?

Arizona doesn’t use DST at all

Sure, but that is such a long time ago. The relevant thing is liberals vs. conservatives. In the 1850s Republicans were the liberal party. It’s funny how now they try to claim credit for Lincoln and it’s uh okay, so who is it that displays confederate flags now? Democrats?

I get confused, but what I prefer based on living far north is for evenings to be longer. It seems wrong to me when winter approaches and the sun starts going down around 6-7, then bam, the time change happens and the sun starts going down at 5. It’s the exact opposite of what I’d prefer. I guess people active in the early morning like it. Ultimately I just think it’s dumb to change the clocks. We should just pick one or the other.

This would be about the only good thing Republicans have done ever if they pass this. Hope they don’t let states opt out. When I lived up north by Canada, the logic was “you don’t want kids having to walk to/from school when it’s dark!!” Okay, so… wow, did you know they could change school hours.

Oh my, let’s get dramatic here.

Yes, that’s right. I believe that the concept of fresh air helping people in a closed room is not novel. In fact, many people are aware of co2.

But back in real life where we’re not angsty dweebs who confront people about minor comments online, I was really just making fun of corporate management culture. Hope that helps your understanding.

I think that when people say they need fresh air, they are likely to be thinking that. Many people in a closed room for a time makes the air “stuffy”. People may not realize it is CO2 on an explicit intellectual level, but realize it on another level.

What about “I’m opening a window / going outside for some fresh air”?

Management bros discover ventilation. Amazing. Here’s your $160,000 consulting fee

Yes, I read that about three times. What is it exactly that makes his writings “rap lyrics“?

It wouldn’t be the first time a defendant’s writings were used against them. What is the indication that it was about them being ‘rap’? They were apparently in the form of free style poetry, not recorded or otherwise set to music.

So by “rap lyrics”, they mean stuff he wrote himself?
