Why should an iTerm user switch to ghostty? What do they gain by moving away from a highly mature, feature rich, native offering?

I've found for me what helps me do such things is actually writing, but writing about what I read. It forces me to not gloss over or skip anything. Like a form of recital. "This function takes a pointer called blah and uses it to

I know a dude who runs his business off of FileMaker and even does work for his customers building them FileMaker stuff. He loves it. I should probably give it a shot.

Sure, but I get my OS upgrades from the System Settings app now, what was stopping me from doing that in the early 2010s? And yes, the Mac App Store was brand new, what better way to boost engagement than to move a fairly standard and typic

I was a Mac admin when they pushed the change to move Updates into the Mac App Store and I hated it then. It didn't even make sense from an ill-advised "must match iOS" way, since OS updates happened in Settings.app on that p

I can sympathize a bit with YouTube trying to boost engagement to increase ad views, like, love it or hate it, thats the game they have to play hosting and serving petabytes of video. But all of that shit should disappear the moment I sta

I should write a tool that converts help output to troff, even if the result wouldn't be as detailed and nice to read as a good man page it would save me the frustration of having to stab at "will i get usage docs with a -h, a --h

On every app but the System Settings app since it is so busted it takes 5 or 6 clicks before it focuses.

Lmfao yeah so much worse than the OS you have to run massive Powershell scripts from the internet to turn off all the telemetry, OneDrive, and other various degrees of bullshit. Install Rectangle or anything macOS Sequoia or newer and move

It's more the former. I'm assuming though that Background Security updates are basically the same thing as "Rapid Security Responses" was, which on the Mac I can recall being used once , 13.3.1(a) released the same day

Uhhh, what? No it isn't. Having a sharp knife is safer than a dull one. Having a massive heavy steel box that weighs thousands of kilos that can accelerate that quick, that you can operate in public with little to no useful training

If it can charge as fast as filling up a tank, who cares? There are already large battery swapping schemes in China with thousands of stations. Even if we don't get to 5-100 charging at 5C+ there's nothing stopping this from not b
