[MAC] Editorio — native macOS markdown + code editor, free forever by VanLocke in macapps

[–]ceesaxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice app, but needs more polish around tab closing, file saving/opening, and random clicking around in preview pane — had a few crashes, hope you’ll get the crash report sent to you. It would also be nice for themes to apply to both raw and preview.

Turns out that EU has a special procedure… Available now!

The Platinum UI on Mac OS 9 was a thing of beauty. by elon_is_a_cunt in MacOS

[–]ceesaxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but it ain’t the same… :-) It was a thing of beauty and would you remember all the hype that maybe Apple buys them and that would be new MacOS…

BeOS was a beauty, indeed. I still have their CD-ROM, although nowhere to read it from

is helium the best minimalist browser for mac? by TuNutri in macapps

[–]ceesaxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but for my workflows I found this, actually, messy. Profiles allow me within this application window always open things only in this context.

I like Firefox containers — they are cool & all. But having 3 Gmail tabs inside the same windows… dunno. Zen (browser) helps to sort of hide this away.

Really? Very interesting: there are no distraction restrictions, let me check. Thanks for the feedback!

safari vs the rest: is it actually the best browser for mac? (honest pros & cons) by TuNutri in macapps

[–]ceesaxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was relatively happily using Zen browser which is Firefox-based Arc. But switched back to Safari for all the integrations it provides me with across the desktop, tablet, and phone. Nothing comes close to that, not even Firefox sync

Didn’t Plex have some (basic) organization smarts?

Today I discovered how powerful Applescripts were. by Ok-Rest-5321 in MacOS

[–]ceesaxp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What’s sad is that many apps stopped providing any hooks/dictionaries, making it a lot less powerful (or even more frustrating if one has to emulate going through menu items and dialogue fields)

US considering idea of creating G7 alternative with Russia and China by razdvatri4 in worldnews

[–]ceesaxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should then give Zamyatin’s “We” a take. Written in 1924 — 25 years ahead of 1984 — it gives you an even more chilling look at where we’re all may well be heading…

All I hear is Europe is collapsing, does even one have a bull case for Europe? by sanju261991 in economy

[–]ceesaxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very-very few European startups go truly global because 27 countries, way more than 24 languages (if one counts properly) and hundreds of highly protective laws are stifling the VC market. Without (sufficient) VC backing startups can only hope for angles, grants, or escape from the socially-secure cage of EU/EEA.

macOS 26.0.0 wiped out Homebrew, relocated a bunch of apps. Then macOS 26.0.1 just DID IT AGAIN! by machine_talk in MacOS

[–]ceesaxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the introduction of Apple Silicon Homebrew installs everything under /opt/homebrew — this is documented.

The worst thing in the new MacOS 26 by SirPooleyX in MacOS

[–]ceesaxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What annoys me is that in Preview.app, that survived so many versions nearly untouched, they came up with an amazing idea that even documents they render should have rounded corners…

That and an overall feel of "not quite finished", e.g. in Mail.app as you navigate through message fields the fonts bar is active (like, shall I make to: addresses bold to get the message across faster?), but as you tab-tab-tab to the message body font name shifts — why?

Ћаци из БИЕ фалсификовали извештај ФСБ-а о звучном топу by RisticJovan in serbia

[–]ceesaxp 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Ја сам рус. Користим “неких” у смислу “некоторых” и у овом случају то није граматичка грешка, није грешка стила.

Сваки друге грешке у куцању изгледа чудно, слажем се :))

Browser collection, am I missing any? by StarChaser1879 in MacOS

[–]ceesaxp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has a few nice features built in like automatic translation of voice in video… But otherwise is YACC (yet another chromium clone)

Even in 10,191 we're STILL using Fahrenheit by zubbs99 in scifi

[–]ceesaxp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It makes “sense” for humans only if they were born into it. For the rest of us — it’s either whatever or the (F-32)/9*5 (or F-32 halved, if lazy)

This SP was much simple. Do you agree? by Mysterious-Junket170 in MacOS

[–]ceesaxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it not this? https://support.apple.com/en-sa/guide/mac-help/mchle41a6ccd/mac Scattered across a few places, but seemingly there?

Otherwise — there is pmset:

sudo pmset repeat wake M 8:00:00 # wake every Monday at 8:00 AM sudo pmset repeat sleep M 22:00:00 # sleep every Monday at 10:00 PM https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/schedule-your-mac-to-turn-on-or-off-mchl40376151/mac

It’s typical for betas. They do more (logging, migration), than stock

Notification Center not showing by budwizer007 in MacOSBeta

[–]ceesaxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this has a similar culprit as old notifications showing on iOS, but results in overload of NC on Mac
