Sure … it’s possible to turn off security. But what I want is a working and secure system that isn’t annoying. macOS today feels as obnoxious as Windows Vista did in 2007. I still weep for everything we’ve lost since Snow Leopard (greatest OS release of all time)
Like yesterday double click title bar to maximize windows mysteriously stopped doing anything on my M4 MBP. Why??? Guess I’ll try a restart and see if it helps…
- exabrial 2y ago> Snow Leopard (greatest OS release of all time) Completely agree. Job's best delivery, ever.
- gjsman-1000 2y agoAh, the myth that it was some super stable release lives on. https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/2023/11/5.html https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/2023/11/5.html
- jitl 2y agoBy release I’m referring to the whole 10.6.x series I have no illusion that 10.6.0 was some perfect bug free dvd. And by everything we’ve lost, I mean how the overall macOS experience degraded from the high snow leopard overall represented: - grid Expose (Mission Control returning to the jumble in Lion… whyyyyy) - persistent grid of virtual desktops - one button access to widgets - Fun, visually distinct and obviously interactive icons/buttons - window title bars and proxy icons - bundled apps like Pages and iPhoto before they were simplified/rewritten/dumbed down - System Preferences (RIP) before they buried display settings and network things - green traffic light maximizes window instead of annoying full screen thing
