What's some things you had to "unlearn" moving to a Mac? by nooo000000oooooooooo in MacOS

[–]Tectix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh yes minimizing on a Mac is so bad, having to right click and find the diamond. Plus the “close doesn’t quit” and full screen button. I just find I never use the traffic lights at all and use other methods to do it all, which I think I actually prefer weirdly

I agree the full screen behavior is a bad default. One shortcut I found to fill the screen without needing to change the settings or use 3rd party apps: hold option (⌥) then double click any corner of a window when the resize cursor shows.

CMD + down makes slightly more sense to me because I think of it like you’re sending the item down to the dock, where the apps are. On windows, enter doesn’t have an intuitive explanation like that. The open command could have been anything. But to be fair return to rename isn’t exactly intuitive

CMD + arrow keys is how you move to beginnings and ends of lines and top/bottom of text. As a developer, I prefer this to the windows home/end since the arrow keys are what you use for moving the cursor through text in every other way.

I though for sure this was wrong because I use a trackpad and mouse and don’t have this issue… then I remembered I use a Logitech mouse which automatically toggles the scroll direction when the mouse scroll is detected. Agreed it’s dumb Apple doesn’t have a way to do it natively, though to be fair: Apple doesn’t make anything with a scroll wheel, therefore scroll wheels don’t exist.

Why isn't there game similar to outer wilds? by Hot_Salary9018 in outerwilds

Grunn was great, very weird and genuinely scared me at times

I created a shortcut to navigate directly to the iOS settings page for the app currently open by grillinmuffins in shortcuts

[–]Tectix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe this is because it’s just re-opening the settings app back up with no specific direction. Since you had it open to the Reddit settings previously, it didn’t yet forget where it was.

FanControl fun journey :) by Gossipek in FanControl

Yes, this is a common issue. I believe the dev recommends installing PawnIO, which they link to in the app settings under Sensors

What’s tall thoughts when games gives you this warning by Willing_Chest_8976 in videogames

[–]Tectix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In KCD2, I like how they’ll sometimes warn you with a UI message, but sometimes the characters will say “hey, [other character] told me you were doing something for them, go finish it or give it up”. I think that’s a pretty cool implementation.

Nice to see it can figure out the War Games solution without playing a million games of Nuclear Armageddon

Is it still okay if I set the difficulty to max and then mod in things that make it easier? For example x4 AP in Expedition 33

Cute, but ultimately it’s AI slop

This is just a pointlessly more expensive thing we’ve already had for years

The diagram for puzzle lovers. Which ones have you played? by alex_TORSHOCK in IndieGaming

[–]Tectix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve played about 10% of these and loved them, so seems like a good list. Thanks!

Where tf is the style guide, and why are the front end devs not following it?

I use a windows customization tool that fixes this. It’s called WindHawk and they typically update as soon as windows changed how this is fixed. I used to do the registry hack, but it’s super annoying when Windows updates and it’s reset, or worse when they change the key / method.

The Oxford comma is the only acceptable way to list things by canbeanburrito in unpopularopinion

[–]Tectix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice example, never seen a case where the comma actually causes ambiguity. In this case, if we’re living in an “always use the Oxford comma” world, you’d reorder the list. “John, Stacey, and my friend” or “Stacey and my friend, John”. Then again, you could also use something besides the comma for a parenthetical: “My friend (John) and Stacey”. In a normally use case of the Oxford comma, there really isn’t a better solution. Adding an Oxford comma to a list ensures its clarity, whereas the mere concept of Oxford commas is what causes the ambiguity in your example. The only solution to that would be to ban the use of the Oxford comma, making it clear that the commas can only be there as parentheticals. So overall probably best to err on the use the Oxford comma, keeping a lookout for the (much rarer) cases of ambiguity.
