Lowered_lifted, in I moved from Windows to macOS for work — and I never want to go back
@Lowered_lifted@lemmy.world avatar

This article is ridiculous because it doesn’t mention why these differences exist at all. Like for example Macs don’t have window snapping because Microsoft patented that feature back in the Windows Vista days. & Batch file renaming is a Unix thing. I have always liked Exposé and hot corners and also mission control, but many windows users hate it. It’s entirely subjective and not at all rational. I guess that’s the point of an opinion piece but it really lacks the context that would have made this article informative, just a little research would have been cool.

minorninth,

I agree with your point that the list was completely arbitrary. Actually they didn’t mention any of my favorite things about the macOS UI vs Windows.

The only thing I don’t understand about your comment is this:

Batch file renaming is a Unix thing.

macOS is based on Unix, sure - but what does that have to do with the macOS Finder’s built-in file rename UI?

Windows PowerShell is just as powerful as Unix if you want do do command-line renaming.

Oh yeah my point is that it’s not a Mac thing, there is no advantage that MacOS has re:file operations that Linux doesn’t, and yes windows has an equivalent too.

9point6,

You might want to do a bit of clean up in this thread, you’ve accidentally posted this quite a few times

Thanks

Parallels means I do both interchangeably and it works great

makunamatata, in “Time to say goodbye”

Zapzap goes too?

rambaroo, in Report: Apple working on new external display for Macs that can double as a smart home display in low-power mode

Sounds like a good way to waste electricity

sourweasel, in I moved from Windows to macOS for work — and I never want to go back

I much prefer MacOS over windows due to the spotlight search. The only thing I wish was added is a detailed audio interface. It’s frustrating having to go to a app to turn it up or down.

2xsaiko, in Anyone out there using the Game Port Tool Kit on CodeWeavers with the CXPatcher?
@2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I’ve yet to try it out. Currently I use wine-crossover from Homebrew.

sadreality, in Moving data from iCloud may need to be made easier, by EU law

Ohh no, commie wants to steal my data and my wife!

aeternum,

your comment history is a wild ride. sometimes you're sane, and other times you're batshit insane. Crazy.

sadreality,

I appreciate genuine fed back!

Some of it is heavy sarcasm such as here, otherwise likely genuine loonie bin grade content, no doubt 🫢

2xsaiko, in Problem creating new iCloud Mail
@2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Might be something that you need to try later. Or contact support if it persists. I would try myself since I also don’t have an iCloud mail but it says you can’t change it once you create one and I don’t need it so I’d rather not.

I tried it on 3 different days before I posted this and tested it again today, so it seems trying later won’t help. Contacting support might be a good idea. Will do that when I find the time.

OneeChan, in Lemmy apps on iOS

Nice didn’t know thunder was also on ios

pieplot, in Lemmy apps on iOS

It’s a but disappointing to still not have any app on the AppStore. I know it’s a long process, but we should take advantage from the current momentum, which won’t last.

Psychlops,

I agree. Wefwef seems to be working okay, but an actual app would definitely be better

the Memmy dev submitted to Apple for review. should be there “soon”.

Silviecat44,

Amazing!

FrickAndMortar, in Trying out these apps is actually fun. Takes me back to the days I was searching for the perfect Reddit app

I’ve tried mlem, memmy and wefwef so far, I like wefwef for its similarities to Apollo

ZeroKuma, in Lemmy apps on iOS

Are all these apps adding upvote/downvote systems? Cause I noticed lemmy on safari didn’t have voting but memmy and wefwef did.

thisisdee,

Lemmy on Safari should have upvote & downvote

magicmuggle, in Lemmy apps on iOS

Memmy and mlem TestFlight links are the same

thisisdee,

That should have been fixed earlier. But I am having issues with Lemmy creating and editing posts/comments so maybe it didn’t go through properly. Can you please try reloading the page?

magicmuggle,

It was fixed btw, just had to reload my app and find the page and viola! Sorted! Cheers.

thisisdee,

Great, thanks for confirming!
