  1. The apps without icons seem so scammy. I know that’s probably not true, but that’s the vibe I get. Why do #indiedevs do it better than the big guys?

  2. @siracusa At the very least, if you can *only* have popup buttons that “hug" the title of the selected item, at least lower the compression resistance on the label so it truncates. This is NOT how you build UI. Look how the label will go into its own row if it doesn't fit vertically.

  4. Hmm, looks like either #macOS #SystemSettings' Storage screen can't add or it can't find all applications...

    It says there are 509.26 GB of applications, but when I added up the claimed sizes from the same screen, it was only 312.04 GB 🤔

    Thus, (at least) one of two things is wrong — either the displayed total is nearly 200 GB too large, or there are applications not in the list or with the wrong size in the list.

  6. Multiple displays on a Mac sucks

    So many people I've worked with have used multiple displays - typically a matched pair side-by-side - and sworn by them. It's always mystified me, to be honest.

    I've attempted the multi-display lifestyle a few times over the last thirty years. At first as a bourgeois indulgence, back when even having a single 17" display was considered luxurious1, let-alone two displays. Just because I could. Then sporadically over the years in more practical attempts to expand my screen real estate.

  7. It might come as a surprise, but people don’t interact with controls they can’t see.

    The fact that you don’t show cursor in a text field doesn’t help either.

  9. I find it strange that #macOS #Ventura #SystemSettings defaults to the Appearance tab. I guess it’s the most backwards compatible option, but General, User Info, or even About would be more logical and useful. #Apple

  10. @atpfm

    Time for me to add to the the pile-on for#MacOS #SystemSettings.

    If I want to stop my headless Mac mini server from needing a strong "WAKE-UP" prompt (connecting by ssh, for example, can do it, pinging or a WOL broadcast don't), it appears that I need to disable the "Prevent automatic sleeping when the display is off".

    Is this in "Energy Saver"? No. It's helpfully hidden in the Advanced section of Displays. It'll take a day or so of testing before I'm convinced it is now working.

  11. Honestly, I see a bug like this and my only thought is, yeah, it be like that sometimes. #macOS #SystemSettings
