I was told that I was stupid and simply "didn't get it" when I complained about System Settings. It sucks on the iPhone, it sucks on macOS. You can't find anything, and certainly not the settings you do want to change.
- thaumasiotes 1y ago> You can't find anything, and certainly not the settings you do want to change. Well, come on, that might interfere with other people's desire for you not to change the settings.
- mrweasel 1y agoSome times Apples approach to settings do seem to be best summarized by the old ILL WiLL Press Hunted Toaster video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KyRCQp32p8&t=60s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KyRCQp32p8&t=60s
- progbits 1y agoDon't worry, even if you manage to somehow change it, the next system update is going to randomly change it back. The only thing that makes my work laptop halfway usable is nix-darwin.
- __MatrixMan__ 1y agoAgreed, the surrounding OS has never mattered less. Each time my nix config encroaches a bit deeper into MacOS territory feels like a tiny victory.
- fkyoureadthedoc 1y agoI use it like twice a year and can't say I ever had a thought about the new design vs the old one. When I want to do something I just crack it open and use the search bar. The amount people freak out about stuff like this online is completely unwarranted. In fact it's one step faster because cmd + space > "settings" actually finds it whereas in the past I would do that, get no results, and then remember the correct name.
- int_19h 1y agoThe problem is that their implementation of search can be very difficult to navigate, when it just happens to find some completely unrelated checkbox with similar name on a bunch if pages - it can be hard to figure out which is which.
