Yeah. JPEG-XL is a really good replacement but it seems like it's getting nowhere. It's been years and the adoption is still quite underground.

HEIC is an amazing format. I don't know why more companies don't use it.

Nautilus is a very barebones file manager. I really love Dolphin compared to it, it can be made simple or complicated depending on your needs.

The tools for the most part. One doesn't have to hack the system in order to make it POSIX-compliant. Mac doesn't make a better developer of course, but it's better than having Windows.

I just gave you real examples of how they're so inconsistent and difficult on Mac. Linux uses Ctrl for most things, you don't even need to lift the finger up away from Ctrl for most shortcuts. Super key is only used for OS shortcu

> One stupid thing is paste doesn’t work in the terminal… seriously? Why can’t I ctrl-v after ctrl-c from web browser? Going from Mac to Linux, I felt that the shortcuts in Mac were worse. On Linux, you don't have to reach for a tot

Telegram regularly takes down such channels too but their mistake? They underestimated the moderation team size and move at a slower pace than other trillion dollar corpos.
