I have been using Mac since 2018 daily on my day job and I still get confused by the symbols. I wish there was some system option to always display them as words or abbreviations (CMD etc) instead.

But I did get used to the navigation and basic shortcuts after a while. Using the terminal/keyboard/IDE shortcuts (which I can set up myself) for most of the work helps a lot.

Finder is still terrible though.

Synthwave name is more likely to be related various "wave" genres, like Darkwave or Coldwave.

Only 1500 euro.

I would not be suprise if it was cheaper to find and refurb a vintage Walkman.

I'm very not much for anti-intelleciualism, but this reads terribly. Maybe being used to this kind of metaphor rich language comes with the territory, which I'm unfamiliar with.

It's common enough that they are sold as an accessory. Search for "metal bullet belt".

Usually Poland ends up worse off, but I would like to let you know that the Magnum ice-cream quality is much superior in Poland compared to the UK.

Currently it's mostly referred to as "polonez", with that exact spelling. It's one of those loan words that got it's spelling changed in Polish.

Russia would be a terrible ally, and most of Europe is not going to bother even entertaining the idea.

Any front desks, if they have a computer it will be a desktop.

Any cubicle farms, like call centres.

University labs, Hospitals.

I think the percentage of desktops would be higher for PCs just due to the number of offices outfitted with computers

I should have paid more attention to the menu bar. Show Path Bar helps with my needs.

For sorting I want it to sort like File Explorer or Dophin. So folders on top (sorted by name), then files (sorted by name). It works if I change Settings > Advanced > Keep folders on top.

Thanks for the tips. The defaults command worked well for my needs.

- Awkward sorting by name (mixing folders and files), unless you change the default

- Does not snap files to a grid by default on icon view, leaving some folders looking like a mess

- Not possible to figure out what's the exact path of the open folder - I just want a full path in the header/title bar. Or let me copy the full path without having to open "get info"

I unironically like working on legacy projects. It's good to know it stood the test of time and my efforts spent on it won't be wasted, because it is unlikely to be dropped.

Of course this assumes there is a way to introduce improvements at all. Just keeping the lights on isn't as satisfying.
