  • You can customize the colors & themes. I go with dark mode with dark tones & there is no multicolor things like you're complaining about

    The terminal is pretty vanilla, you can customize it but it looks like any terminal by default

    You can't turn off blur AFAIK, but it's never been distracting to me. It's probably where you get the idea of multicolor things though -- some apps (and by some I mean apple default apps) have a very slight transparency with a strong blur, so if the windows/background behind said app is colorful, it will be somewhat visible through that app

    Edit: You can turn off transparency in accessibility settings

    When I say "can't be turned off" I mean "can't be turned off officially", but as all things with macos there will be some paid & OSS solutions to tweak the behavior of the OS to your needs.

    I like my mac pretty vanilla yet I do use some of those behavior-tweaking apps such as

    • Copyclip
      • clipboard history, free, can be installed outside the app store if you want
    • MiddleTouch
      • paid, allows the use of the fn key + click to perform a scroll click (some apps are barely useable by me without this behavior)
    • Scroll Reverser
      • allows setting different scroll behaviors between mouse & trackpad (default setting has inverted vertical scroll, OK for touchpads, terrible for mouse -- it has no split settings)
    • noTunes
      • prevent the opening of Apple Music app on ▶️ key press (annoying behavior when pausing & starting music play)

    You should also install Brew, the unofficial macos package manager, to install command line utilities and other packages

  • Because that's a history question. "Taiwan" is not a country, it's a province of the Republic of China (ROC), which was the government of China before the communist revolution. They fled to Taiwan but their constitution etc still define them as the Republic Of China, with territorial claims over all of China

    Here is an article specifically on that exact topic

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan_Area

    Edit: The main "Taiwan" wikipedia article also has a map that can be selected under the label "Show map of Taiwan (dark green) with ROC Mainland Area and historical claims (light green)"

  • They're VCs, they're not here for the long run: they'll replace the employees with AI, make record profits for a quarter, and sell their shares and leave before problems make themselves too noticeable to ignore. They don't care about these companies, and especially not about the people working there

  • Well I know iphones are great quality devices & have long lasting support, but if I can't tinker with it then to me it's hardly better than a gilded brick

    By "tinker with it" I mean installing apps like youtube revanced, playing morrowind, having access to a terminal etc
