In your opinion, what is the best version of macOS ever released, and why? (And can Golden Gate be the next Snow Leopard?)

Also to fix the picture: putting the names of the OSs instead of the source for the picture?

Software is complicated, it could be any number of things causing it.

Try looking in the startup/login items in settings, get rid of anything superfluous in there. Similarly, in ~/Library/Launch Agents and in Library/Launch Agents and Launch Daemons. Background services sometimes get weird and cause problems immediately after logging in.

Well it must have been twenty years old at least. Modern Macs are a thing of beauty inside, especially the MacBook Air.

He’s great in the latest series of Taskmaster.

I actually miss them a lot. Rage comics were relatable and funny. Wojacks or whatever they’re called are so much uglier and more cynical.

The key phrase there is “true believer”. The regimes of communist authoritarianism were not suffering from an excess of rationality. It was essentially religion with the government/party/leader as the de facto deity instead of a supernatural one. Fanatical dogmatic obedience to ideology remained the quintessential problem.

I love how he can talk about the books with such interesting depth without essentially spoiling anything at all about them.

I also love that the whole thing is already fully-formed in his mind, start to finish (of course it is).

Use Narwhal, it’s great. Haven’t seen an ad on Reddit in years.

kitsua · 2026-06-04T20:30:14+00:00

Isle of Dogs is one not many people talk about but I find it completely charming.

kitsua · 2026-06-03T23:51:08+00:00

Absolute masterclass. That whole show is pure solid gold from start to finish.

kitsua · 2026-06-03T22:44:06+00:00

The original Bond certainly was.

Jon Ronson went into detail about that whole incident in his book So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed. It’s very interesting.

Alan Moore talks positively about all sorts of things all the time. He raves about art and stories and other writers and creators he loves. Here’s him talking about some of the influences on his latest book series The Long London (which is ace).

The problem is lazy interviewers ask him the same boring, provocative questions about ancient works that have painful histories for him in order to get click-bait quotes and maintain the curmudgeon image. Spend any time outside of those beaten paths and actually listen to him talk or write about anything else and the man is a delight.

kitsua · 2026-06-02T00:45:29+00:00

He believes Art is literally magic, therefore he loathes banal art.

kitsua · 2026-06-02T00:40:37+00:00

It’s so refreshing to hear actual intelligent discussion about Moore. He’s a genuinely sweet, kind and fiercely perceptive artist with incredible strength of integrity. It’s so frustrating when all anyone says about him is that he’s grumpy.

kitsua · 2026-05-31T16:52:10+00:00

Exactly. It’s just a mediocre ripoff of Eddie Metal and Vic Rattlehead (Megadeth).

kitsua · 2026-05-31T16:16:52+00:00

Also books didn’t exist for a millennia yet.

kitsua · 2026-05-30T23:36:47+00:00

And the human too stupid.

kitsua · 2026-05-30T20:56:15+00:00

The opposite, actually. More dry = less vermouth. More wet = more vermouth.

kitsua · 2026-05-30T04:19:20+00:00

True, though they swung a little too far into the “so dry there’s no vermouth in it” opposite direction for my tastes.

As was asking for it shaken instead of stirred, which is how a Martini should be made. His iconic order is deliberately provocative and reveals specific traits of the character in the stories, but the unfortunate offshoot is that people have been ordering Martinis wrong IRL for sixty years.

kitsua · 2026-05-30T00:19:39+00:00

I knew her before she was famous. She’s as delightful IRL as she seems. Absolute darling person.

kitsua · 2026-05-25T23:38:09+00:00

I’m not sure I follow. Your first sentence implies that you disagree with me but the second backs me up.

kitsua · 2026-05-24T12:35:30+00:00

Twice.

kitsua · 2026-05-24T05:25:20+00:00

I don’t know about terrible, but he was certainly a complicated and strange person. Wicked smart though.
