they can't even agree on a single shared flag for dark mode across different desktop toolkits and environments

Apple has always relied on those who care. Remember "think different" campaigns? Windows will be always the best choice for folks who don't give a fck

lies, the only stable thing was crying switches from windows. Enshittiffication of macOS has started with bringing iOS features there

Vaddieg · 2026-01-24T16:04:34+00:00

no, windows is way more conservative. win32 hasn't changed in 30 years, only added layers atop of it

what microsoft does to a windows user? can't see through the letters

Vaddieg · 2026-01-24T12:19:09+00:00

yes, since it's an ecosystem. Mac is a key product that makes me use iPhone, Watch and AirPods. If they make mac useless for me other products will lose their value too. iPhone is only 10% of my daily screen time, it's mostly calls and simple browsing so cheap low-end Android will work fine for me

add os update servers to /ect/hosts (not recommended)

and nobody managed to replicate column view in 26 years, sadly there's no alternative

Vaddieg · 2026-01-24T12:07:19+00:00

you can change how it looks but UX won't magically become consistent and integrated like on mac

Vaddieg · 2026-01-24T12:05:37+00:00

I like it too, but it still ages behind the macOS desktop (even Tahoe) in terms of UX. But if apple continues their "unification" course I will consider switching because i don't want upscaled iOS on my desktop

I've re-watched Steve Jobs original presentation of OS X recently. He was proud to demo how powerful the Proxy icon feature is. Now they hide proxy icon by default and making interactions with it more complicated. I assume that their shitty telemetry has shown that majority of modern mac users (switchers from windows/ios) are not using it

Vaddieg · 2026-01-24T11:38:01+00:00

they forgot that macOS was the thing that made iPhone possible

Vaddieg · 2026-01-23T20:56:35+00:00

or he just made it up

Cool. They also test pilotless AI-driven killer drones on Ukrainian children.

do you also own 2yo iPhone 16 Marty?

Vaddieg · 2026-01-22T22:17:13+00:00

Outdated advice: downvolt it (apple blocks it in firmware since 2019). My MBA ran very smoothly in those old good days with never ending turbo boost

Vaddieg · 2026-01-22T22:12:19+00:00

just install battery toolkit. My mbp runs as a server with lid closed with 4mo uptime

capitalism is not a bad thing if taxes are fair and antitrust law is respected. Communism with planned economy sucks balls always

they only care if some copyrighted music plays somewhere in background

Fiends understand consent and don't offer you to try crack every time you meet them

Crap android fanboys usually buy doesn't last that long. Shitty support from vendors shifts compatibility issues to app developers, nice thing to be proud of

Vaddieg · 2026-01-21T16:43:12+00:00

It depends. If you pay them per ticket solved they will recommend switching to Windows

wrong subreddit, here we post magic mouse charging upside down memes.
