  • I’ve used MacOS for about 20 years, and it’s a shit show. But…

    Where are your files?

    They are in my user folder, same as every other OS. I can see them all in Finder. Root is hidden, but that’s options “tick box to display disks”.

    What is happening at full screen

    So what you would consider maximise is “move to new dedicated virtual desktop”, but you can also cmd+click maximise, drag to the top to traditional maximise or left/right for half screen.

    I will say macs are great when you get used it, especially if you use keyboard shortcuts.

    I’d say the opposite. How do I move this window to the next desktop using shortcut keys? You have to display desktops and then drag or to the desktop you want. No real shortcut for a basic feature.

    Emoji picker also seems to be broken, so when adding something on a chat I have to navigate with keyboard because clicking on the emoji I want works about 50% of the time, they rest of the time it just closes the window.





  • If the driver is no longer using a dedicated piece of encoding hardware thats shit, but using the Vulkan logic then surely the quality would be essentially guaranteed by it being Vulkan conformant?

    The hardware wouldn’t support b-frames in this scenario, and wouldn’t matter because your just using the standard matrixes to encode the stream and if it didn’t work then surely games would also be broken.

    Or am I incorrect. Is this just standardising the API in Vulkan and it gets forwarded to the same video encoding driver? Could we not have Mesa doing a better job? 😒








  • All of Windows is malware. By default you have adverts in your start menu, you have pop ups (which is not the same thing as Windows Update, pop ups are a service provided by Explorer) which maliciously install unwanted web browsers.

    You can’t support Trump and then claim that only a small part of his following is due to racist bigots.

    You can’t support AI and claim that only a small part of it damages the atmosphere.

    You can’t support Windows and claim that only part of it is malware.

    Windows 100% enables and supports this nefarious behaviour. It’s the abusive spouse trapping you before beating the shit out of you for your own good.
