I don't believe you. You have never, EVER, NOT ONCE run a terminal command to change an option on MacOS? I just refuse to believe anyone on HN hasn't altered preferences in the terminal on MacOS.

Not with anything near the frequency of Windows. The last such thing I remember doing is restarting the locate indexing service with launchctl. I do lots of things in the command line, of course, but not so much to configure MacOS itself.

I haven't edited a .plist in years, but nor have I fiddled with the Windows registry in years. Honestly think both OSes ship with sane defaults these days.
