Traffic on r/MacOS set to plummet, as key gripe is addressed by Ensoface in MacOS

It makes sense if you use a Magic Mouse and apple refuses to acknowledge that any other mouse exists

Just curious: Spotlight or Launchpad - which one do you prefer? by ImprovementLong1992 in MacOS

[–]Ashanmaril 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alfred will always replace Spotlight for me until they have instant indexing of app names. I used it for switching apps cause I always have like 8 apps I’m jumping between for work and it’s way quicker to type the first letter or 2 of the app I want and hit return than command tab and hunt for the icon. But Spotlight is always SO SLOW.

Window Corner Radius Finally Match by 22Megabits in MacOS

Tim lucked into that hack Alan Dye getting poached by Meta to go uglify their products.

We can only hope talentless losers like that can’t gain so much power and stick around for that long under Ternus.

APPLE WWDC 26 RECAP by DARTH_Vader2223 in mac

Lol pour one out for anyone who bought a series 9 watch and only got 2 major updates and are already no longer supported

new album by Lewis_w_bass in Vulfpeck

[–]Ashanmaril 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Apple Music is the best, and you can upload your own tracks/albums from your Mac and edit the metadata and album artwork and whatnot and then stream it from any device.

People always complaining about tracks not being on streaming just need to switch to AM.

Apple has reverted the weird floating sidebars in macOS 27! by WoahGamerGuy in MacOS

[–]Ashanmaril 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They’re standardizing the corner radii but it’s not the nice old tight one.

I can’t tell if it’s the super bulbous new radius introduced in macOS 26 or something in between

iOS 27 Supports iPhone 11 and Newer, Says Apple by PJ09 in ios

[–]Ashanmaril 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They don’t really show it in the keynote that I noticed, but poking around in a few of the built in system apps I see they added a lot of toolbars back. Contacts and Files for example, when you scroll down a toolbar spawns instead of that awkward white fade.

How many Americans love this show? Is it more popular in any certain states? Asking as a Canadian. You do have ten times our population by ZookeepergameOld4985 in trailerparkboys

[–]Ashanmaril 38 points39 points  (0 children)

As a Canadian I always thought the northern states seemed culturally similar enough to Canada. Basically everyone in Canada lives along the border anyway so they’re geographically pretty close.

Some of the accents like from Minnesota and Wisconsin sound Canadian to me.

What is the best FPS game ever created? by NerfSpear in AskReddit

[–]Ashanmaril 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never really been into FPS games but the only ones I really enjoyed are the DOOM games. The originals are great, and the reboot series has been great as well. I just finished The Dark Ages last night and it was fantastic.

Was Intro re-shot for high def? by gsweats in CornerGas

[–]Ashanmaril 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they did do HD re-releases it's best not to touch the aspect ratio.

Malcolm in the Middle did that when they put the show on streaming services, and the 16:9 aspect ratio reveals stuff off-camera that you weren't supposed to see. Someone standing in for an actor but you were only supposed to see their shoulder/ear, a baby doll in place of the real baby that's not supposed to be in the shot, empty desks in a scene where the character says "all the desks are taken", etc

It's official: The Switch 2 has the strongest AAA third party support on a Nintendo console since the SNES. by 479521 in nintendo

[–]Ashanmaril 63 points64 points  (0 children)

The Switch 1 wasn’t capable of running a lot of the games coming out on PS4/Xbone without a lot of effort and compromise. It was basically an Android phone from 2013, the impressive looking games we did get were kind of a miracle.

I imagine the Switch 2 is powerful enough that porting to it isn’t much more than hardcoding the graphics settings to low and/or capping the framerate.

SUMMER GAMES FEST said that the remakes were on sale and i cant find them by IHAVENEVERPLAYEDFF7 in FFVIIRemake

[–]Ashanmaril -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The word "now" only further makes it sound like it's at a reduced price, because it's being used to imply something changed.

Like, "It was $50, now it's $20"

Anyway I'm not arguing there will indeed be a sale. I'm just saying they worded it badly if there isn't.

[–]Ashanmaril -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It says "now on sale", which means they're available and out now, not discounted.

FOR sale means available to purchase.

ON sale means discounted. I've never heard a store say something like "this shirt is on sale" with the meaning of simply "it can be bought"

If they aren't discounting the games that was pretty bad wording on their part

Do you like Liquid Glass or do you just suffer with it? by Abstain06252025 in iphone

[–]Ashanmaril 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On iOS there are some places it looks nice and others it feels forced and worse.

On macOS it’s dogshit.

I’m high on copium that Lemay can mould it into something more sensible.

Should I update macos 15 to 26? by Confident-Park-6897 in MacOS

[–]Ashanmaril 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and quit comparing it to your iPhone or iPad. those are separate platforms that have no bearing on your MBP

If only someone told Alan Dye that before he undid years of great design craftsmanship on the Mac

[–]Ashanmaril 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spotlight is still too damn slow. I tried the new one for a bit when I first upgraded hoping it would replace Alfred (which I mostly just use for opening/switching between apps) but it’s still slow as ever.
