Keyboard shortcuts on Mac are a lot more consistent than windows and Linux actually. On a Mac command + C / V is copy / paste. In Linux sometimes it’s control + c, sometimes it’s control + shift + c.

Red = stop (close)

Yellow = yield (minimize)

Green = go (grow)

Makes sense to me.

My biggest gripe with windows is it will steal your cursor focus from password prompts. And when it surfaces a password prompt, it does not focus it automatically.

I accidentally sent my password in a Teams chat at work because an Auth prompt popped up so I naturally typed my password and hit enter like I would on a Mac.

Hilarious. But bad UX.

I love MacOS and it’s my primary OS and I couldn’t agree with you more on every single one of your points.

They have not had any innovation in desktop UI since 2005.

I have an iMac G5 running Tiger and the desktop environment is almost identical in every way. Except now it doesn’t look pretty like it did in the Aqua days.

Unless you want to use external monitors

I prefer iOS UX wise but I agree with you on keyboards, settings, alarms

Edit: and rotation

Wild take. I use both and iOS (other than settings menu which is absolute garbage) makes much more sensible design decisions than Google. And even Androids good design decisions are just variations on things they took from iOS. OG android was better. Now they’re just trying to be iOS+

Ah yes. Gnome. The beloved Linux distro that does not hold the Linux community back in any way shape or form. They’re doing a good thing by holding wayland development back and keeping us in the 90s forever! Go Gnome!

You mean like when I clicked this article? What an ad filled mess of a website.

I haven’t worked for Apple but you’re definitely correct. Just compare what Jobs said about using a stylus with how happy the company was to announce that you could use Apple Pencil with the iPhone duo. It is self-evident. It’s far from the company Jobs once ran.

The irony of this site having ads that cover 1/3 of my screen on mobile was absolutely lost on the author.

Those are 2 different and often conflicting things.

I don’t speak Dutch but I agree. The Dutch version sounds way better.

Your argument is that Linux has better GPU driver support than Windows? Might want to do a bit of research on that one. You don’t remember Linux flipping Nvidia the bird?

Edit: I also experienced the Nvidia driver update that broke a bunch of things on my (Fedora) server last week.

Fedora updated my Nvidia drivers 3 days ago and it broke my voice assistant. Yeah I fixed it and it can’t happen again but that sort of thing only happens on Linux (and windows probably)

Yeah but the 1% can still accomplish whatever they want. It just may require a bit of code. No big deal if you’re in the 1%. And you get the added benefit of automatic security updates that don’t break critical system components like what happens from time to time in every Linux distro I’ve ever used over the last 20 years.

They have one built in now and have had third party ones for over a decade. I used SizeUp to tile windows in Mac OS in 2013. Now the OS has it built in but I find Rectangle to be superior. And it’s free and much better than any window manager I’ve tried in any Linux Distro.

That sentiment is rampant on this site.

That simply isn’t true. You can disable whatever you want. You just may not be able to do it through the UI. I’ve customized my Mac to never phone home. It’s not hard if you know what you’re doing. It’s even easier if you don’t, and just ask Claude code to do it.

I’ve often wondered the opposite. The number of pieces of software I used to pay for that I was able to replace with software I’ve built using agents is nearing double digits. I wonder how much longer people will need to pay huge software companies instead of just collaborate with a few other folks using AI and build their own better version.

You know your search results are personalized right? If I google something and my girlfriend googles the same thing, on the same network, we get different results.

Did the police gives out keys to my house and give some of them to criminals? Then yes.

I don’t understand your point or why people are upvoting this. I’ve done this between many different models. Did you just discover that a frontier model can read context? I genuinely don’t get your point. I’ve had to have Claude agents pick up codex’s context after it hits one of its “cannot connect” issues way more often than the other way around.

The bus factor makes no sense to you?

Printing money doesn’t create value. It dilutes value.

This reminds me of the “it’s not a pyramid scheme. It’s a reverse funnel system”

Zoom back in

I think it’s safe to venture into science fiction futures at this point. We have AI and government mass surveillance technology. We’re living in science fiction futures.

When money is created, the total amount of money in circulation increases, decreasing the value of each unit of money overall. It’s called inflation.

Don’t talk to anyone. Internalize it and transmute it into something powerful instead.
