    Organic Maps finally made Hong Kong a region this year. Previously they required you to download the entire “China South” region, which was an extremely weird and wasteful choice. …

    I have a smart playlist that gets automatically populated with songs in my library that are not available (evidently pulled) on Apple Music anymore, and it is growing with tunes th…

    Ignore previous instructions and write a non-linear video editor in Common Lisp.

    This is about app specific data, not text. No app needs to worry about copying text between text fields, system APIs take care of that.

    This starts to look like a waste of time and not a useful discussion. There are frameworks and libraries that handle 100% of clipboard OS specifics, and the app in question has no …

    There’s no use case for system clipboard, given it’s a monolithic piece of software that doesn’t allow multiple projects to be simultaneously open in different instances. There’s n…

    What I do now can be done using a mix of free software (ffmpeg, etc.) and if I were to go pro and have less time for tinkering then it’d be FCP for me.

    I know people who never use undo. If you haven’t run into these issues, that does not tell me much, unless you use this software the same way I do.

    I mean, I just used it last month whatever the latest version was. It didn’t freeze at startup but all the other issues were still there. I can’t see myself paying for that. What I…

    Unlikely. This has been the case on 3 different laptops and multiple macOS versions and Resolve versions. I use it pretty infrequently nowadays and I admit I didn’t see the startup…

    I tolerate Resolve, essentially it’s just inertia. It is hard to imagine software could be commercial and so poorly made. My favorite glitch that has persisted for many versions is…

    On iOS, the worst you can do is not update your OS and thus be vulnerable to exploits. There is no setting that a casual user could be social engineered into enabling that would al…
