  • MacOS is the worst Operating System

  • One of the most annoying things for me on Windows is when I close a Word file and want to open another one, if the one I closed is the last window then the entire program needs to restart which is very slow. On a Mac this never happens.

    A) on windows that does not have to happen, that is a choice by the office developers. If they want they can instead close a window but still have a service running in the system tray that can bring them back up instantly. Famously stuff like Steam and Discord work like this ootb.

    B) the alternative, is that on MacOS you either:

    • close the last window, and accidentally leave an application running that chewing up memory for no reason
    • think you're on the last window and go to explicitly close the application using Command Q, only to find out you still had another window open behind it or on another monitor that you needed, because MacOS provides no logical way of finding windows.

  • I feel like you can say the same about virtually any Windows laptop that cost the same as a MacBook Pro in the past 10 years.

    I will give credit to their hardware, the M chips are very solid and they were smart to go in-house / ARM, they always use good mics and webcams, and their current microled screens are pretty great.

    I just hate their software so fucking much. If I could get a good deal on a modern second hand MacBook I'd jump and put a better OS on it, but I can't bring myself to buy their hardware full cost given all of their business practices at the moment.

  • macOS has the unique ability to be good for newbies and power users (thanks to its unix underpinnings,) but falls short for people who have just enough computer knowledge to be dangerous (such as yourself.

    Bruh, I'm a professional software developer.

    I'm not complaining because I can't figure out how to use it, I'm complaining because I use it as fast as anyone can and it irritates me that it slows me down compared to using Windows or most Linux distros.

  • Yes, I use this all the time out of necessity but it's still hogwash.

    1. Mission Control is ok for selecting windows on a a single desktop as long as you have less then 6 open, it starts falling apart after that, and for some reason, no matter what, it makes the icons for full screen apps so small it's impossible to tell which particular mostly white web page is which.
    2. Ctrl + Arrow Key - switches between only true Full Screen applications, forcing you to use Full Screen, instead of just maximizing. Want to know which windows are coming up next in the list? Too bad, use mission control.
    3. CMD + tab - switches between your last used applications, it does not switch between windows.

    On Windows:

    1. you have a taskbar at the bottom where all running windows are neatly tucked away under each application, each with a preview.
    2. With Alt + Tab you go through a list of last used windows, not applications. With a three finger swipe left or right, you can switch between them with a single gesture. You can configure this list to be all windows, or just the ones on that monitor. Their previews are always a predictable and visible size.
    3. you have virtual desktops where you can put your entire window arrangement across multiple monitors away, and start a completely fresh workspace for a different task.

  • I use both BetterSnapTool and DockDoor, and on a literal daily basis, I still find myself maddeningly frustrated by how difficult Apple makes it to find a specific application window.

  • Ontario government recycles oil sands propaganda for Ring of Fire mining development

  • What I was saying is that it is not a binary choice between pushing damaging projects here or accepting damaging projects elsewhere, but instead wherever possible we should be doing what we can to mitigate and limit the environmental and social impacts of extraction, insofar as there are things we need to extract.

    I mean, yes but there are always tradeoffs and time is a massive factor. If doing everything we can to mitigate local environmental damage means a process that delays the mining of minerals needed for mass-electrification and slows it down, then we'll end up doing more overall environmental damage as we continue to burn fossil fuels.

  • I didn't say anything about poor labour practices, but we do have to accept some environmental degradation.

    There is literally no practical way to keep this many people alive without some environmental degradation.

  • No we cannot.

    We literally need those minerals to build things like solar panels and electrical infrastructure that will let us transition away from fossil fuels.

    There is no perfectly clean energy source, and we need energy to keep humans alive, healthy, and happy.

  • Lmfao, bruh, you're comparing looking at the sky and seeing what colour it is, to wasting your time on social media watching random outrage posts about video games like everyone sees the same rage bait that you do.

    Go outside and touch grass, then cite your source dumbass.

  • I am generally extremely pro workers right and pro environmental protection, but environmentalists really need look at the situation practically and holistically.

    This article seems to suggest that it's impossible to mine ethically, and while I get that it causes inherent damage and destruction, the alternatives will cause more damage and destruction, just not here.

    The sad reality of bill 5 is that environmental laws have been used to block infrastructure projects numerous times. And while local environmental concerns are obviously valid, in the real world that we live in, it is not obviously 'more ethical' to let them block the project so that it instead gets built in say Peru, or doesn't get built at all and we keep using fossil fuel infrastructure.

  • Because these articles don't know what they're talking about, and like to run around screaming the sky is falling.

    Many data centers built today use closed loop, or immersion cooling, that do not waste water.
