I don't think it's quite that bad, but I’m already in the habit of swatting the hands of people who point too closely at things on my laptop screen with their greasy fingers. gtfo

Yup. My 80-year-old father is replacing his Intel iMac with one of these tomorrow. (photo editing, 3D design for printing)

We thought long and hard about a Mac Mini — and not happy about going from 27" to 24" — but a Studio Display doubles the price and he's not willing to take another chance on third-party stuff.

If that screenshot is of the Nova theme, then the Nova theme is very ugly.

I think the problem is the opposite. “MAGA”, both the ideology and the workings of the administration, are largely internally self-contradictory and incoherent.

You might say “okay there’s still some corporate-cons who’ll take my money and do what I ask” but then there’s guys like Miller pulling the strings whose entire purpose is opposed to yours.

This might sound crazy, but maybe getting behind a stable and predictable gov't that has ensured corporate dominance for over a century would have been a smarter strategy? But hey what do I know…

oh, speak of the devil… yeah there's an issue where full screen apps don't show the "stoplight" icons on hover… sometimes it takes several seconds, sometimes (with Slack just now) they never appear.

I've given up on filing radars, feels like talking about your relationship to a housecat.

same… I mean, I wouldn't go so far as to call it unusable, but it was certainly that bad back around beta 2 or 3. Now it's just mostly-there.

There was clearly a fundamental refactor if not complete rewrite in Mission Control, and sadly it’s just not quite done yet.

Otherwise I've found Golden Gate to be an improvement in every way.

> Just in my toilet, I’m supposed to have an app for the seat, an app for the flush and one for the ventilation.

There should be some sort of unofficial rule that if you’re writing something that strains credulity, you should actually link to something that explains it.

I guess my only question is, what does Digital Ocean have to do with any of this?

If the author’s goal is to sever ties with all American companies that he possibly can, I think the post could have been a little more clear about that.

>_< oh my god

I really was not expecting anything like this. Thank you.

When you say “never repair the damage,” do you mean that the practicality of refilling the stores is impossible due to demand requirements, or something else I’m missing?

Lack of a decent RSS client is one of the major things keeping me on an iPad over an e-ink tablet. I wish manufacturers like Remarkable would get serious about having software platforms.

FWIW I use USAA, it’s a quasi-credit-union, and they’ve been great. But they’re also an outlier.
