I mean, yeah, there’s loads of tech nerds, but it’s the internet so there’s always going to be.

But honestly, the vast majority of the people I follow are just regular folks who like to chat about regular stuff. Like how they use Arch, btw.

I don’t really mind clickbaity headlines, but I’m getting real tired of LIVE headlines, where instead of writing a story they just do Mastodon-style live reactions, like me getting pissed and watching Eurovision.

Yeah, that's odd. As long as an app is in fullscreen you should be able to drag it from screen to screen when Mission Control is active.

As for the double click; Finder will only maximise the height without changing its width, but all the other apps I tried filled the desktop.

I don't know why people would gripe. There's a bunch of different ways to resize windows in macOS. You can fullscreen them into their own virtual desktop, and sure, unless you drag another app alongside then no, that's not compatible with other windows at the same time. Personally, I use fullscreen for apps that I don't need to interact, or that I want to have full focus on. iTunes/Music for example, is kept to the far right of the spaces on my right hand monitor. I know where it is and it's easy to access without taking up space on the desktop.

But you can also make them fill the regular desktop by double clicking the bar at the top of the window. Or you can drag windows to various sides of the screen to resize them, the same way you can with Linux and Windows.

And yeah, there's Stage Manager too, but honestly, I've never really seen the point. Not on a Mac anyway.

I've used apps in fullscreen for as long as it's been possible, and I've honestly never found it confusing at all.

You can move them across displays. Just open Mission Control then drag it from one screen to another. Or drag it to a desktop if you want.

As for maximising; just double click the bar at the top of the window. No extra software needed.

Now that macOS supports window tiling there's a number of ways to lay out app windows. Fuck Stage Manager though. I've never been able to work out the point of it.

Unless I misunderstand, you've been able to do that since around 2011.

And somehow those prices won't really drop when the tarriffs are quietly removed.

I'm looking at you, energy prices.

Which one? Either would lead to remarkably different evenings.

Actually, this is radical.

They haven't yet responded, so I can only assume that they died of how much they hate you. Sorry.

I'll test Linux on a Mac this afternoon and see how it goes, but I'm optimistic it will just work also.

I have Mint running on 2011 and 2014 Mac minis. It's basically flawless. The only trouble you might have is finding the wifi driver, depending on which model you're using. Iirc, the minis were fine, but the 2011 MacBook Pro I put it on was a little more difficult to track down. But ethernet worked right out of the box, so it wasn't a huge deal.

Linux on Apple Silicon is a trickier proposition, but getting less tricky all the time.

Bonjour!

I can't believe that nothing mainly concerning the Ankh Morpork Watch has ever been produced. If nothing else, they could be the source for a great TV show, but so far nothing has ever been made. It's weird.

Are you a Batman villain, threatening to poison Gotham's water supply.

I got an LG OLED a few weeks ago. Hands down the best TV screen I've ever owned.

Fuck knows what the stock OS does because I've only watched Apple TV through it.

Yeah, like several other people on the internet I'm not American, so I have no idea what this is about.

Drugs Are Really Excellent?

One man...

What a pervert.

That's like buying a Ferrari and dropping in a Lada engine.
