- iammattmurphyI one of the reasons I love macOS: it is if you hold option.
- lol that’s the smallest image I’ve ever seen Looks like a cool game though, I enjoy a roguelike
- The server appears to be down right now too :/
- > macOS
This is the most counter-intuitive, user-unfriendly, confusing piece of software that I’ve used in my life.
Insane hyperbole in my opinion. Most of his complaints are that of a power user, and because it’s missing something he liked from Gnome. Fair enough I guess, the stuff he talks about does sound nice.
Later on in the article:
> The macOS itself isn’t all that bad.
- I’m immediately reminded of John Siracusa’s rant about Wikipedia on his old Hypercritical podcast. This is a lengthy rebuttal from (presumably) a Wikipedia lover that includes a link and timestamp to the original podcast segment [0]
I agree, verifiability makes sense, and truth can’t really be claimed without verification, and so it’s a confusing argument to say: truth should be above verifiability; but I must admit: I find it very strange that some people have information about them on their Wikipedia pages that they’re not able to correct despite _being the person_ because one can only cite a source.
The problem of circular citations exists as well, where an article is cited which itself only cites another article, and it might loop back on itself.

- When it doubt, always use nautical terminology
- Sorry I meant in Canada
- Speed?
- Even though I never use cash, I’m really not a fan of coins, so I wish we did have $1 bills.
- Absolutely. One thing you absolutely can’t say about Duolingo is that it’s ugly. Not very clunky either.
- That's not really fair; Apple's in a sticky wicket when it comes to the Chinese government, and they're not the only ones.
The Chinese government are debatably inhuman. They've literally censored the word "censorship." (Then they censored what people used euphemistically for censorship--"harmonious.") It's funny from the outside but also a miserable state of affairs in 2024.
- That makes me appreciate that in Vancouver we have Weatherhood, which is free to use.
