Lovely writing! And I think the understanding that one can and should modify their tools to their needs is rather rare and should be appreciated.

- thaumasiotes 6mo agoWhen I had a MacBook, I was quickly compelled to do something about the fact that its sharp edges scraped things, most notably scraping off the surface of my fingernails. But the obvious way to handle that problem is to put it in a case. For example: https://www.itslaut.com/products/crystal-x-case-for-macbook-series https://www.itslaut.com/products/crystal-x-case-for-macbook-... I wasn't thrilled with a product design that required a case to protect the rest of the world from the product, but it obviously makes more sense than trying to file the MacBook yourself.
- simonbw 6mo agoI have thought about filing/sanding my MacBook forever and getting a case to solve the problem never even occurred to me. I feel a little silly now because it does seem obvious, but also to me just filing it down sounds like less work than picking out a case.
- kzrdude 6mo agoPresumably the understanding on the forum is greater when it comes to software tools. And I would usually say: don't be your computer's tool! :)
- tonyedgecombe 6mo agoWhen it comes to software I've moved in the opposite direction. I want to customise my system as little as possible.
