Recently switched to macos for development and I'm really thankful to have found out about Shortcat and Raycast. Combined with Tridactyl plugin on firefox, I can keep my hands on the keyboard for almost every task across the OS.

I use Linux as my main OS for some years now, but use Mac and Windows, mostly because I need to test my software on them, but I have to say: I totally agree. Windows is the only practical desktop OS for most people. Mac is not an OS you can use unless you buy the entire package, and then you have to live with many of its limitations. It absolutely sucks at multitasking (not that most average users care about this one…
Could you elaborate on the difference between Windows and MacOS in the context of multitasking?
If I have vscode in my external monitor, plus two Firefox instances one in internal and one in the external, than in many ways of switching to the browser, both windows come up. That covers my IDE, and I need an extra click/keystroke to bring it back. One example of many.
I've observed many mac users. Most of them are much slower than a windows/Linux user with same level of geekiness. In windows/KDE linux, the window switching is conceptually simple and everyone can learn it fast.

If vim is great why most popular question about vim is "How do I exit Vim?" - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11828270/how-do-i-exit-v...
steep learning curve doesn't imply bad UX, or useless, or not great.
This reminds me of Steve Jobs' email to himself. In 2010 he wrote: I grow little of the food I eat, and of the little I do grow I did not breed or perfect the seeds. I do not make any of my own clothing. I speak a language I did not invent or refine. I did not discover the mathematics I use. I am protected by freedoms and laws I did not conceive of or legislate, and do not enforce or adjudicate. I am moved by music I…
This is probably the most elaborate humblebrag I've ever seen.
Maybe he just wanted to remind himself of these things.

fzf is awesome :) My favorite fzf usage (but not the most often used) is this alias I put in my ~/.gitconfig file frbi = "!f() { git rebase -i $(git log --pretty=oneline --color=always | fzf --ansi | cut -d ' ' -f1)^ ; }; f" So I do: git frbi (which to me means Fzf ReBase Interactive) And then can easily pick what commit I will use as my starting point for doing some rebase work.
Going to use this, thanks! How do I limit it to N number of commits?
EDIT: Probably could use the "--max-count=" option to `git log` which is documented in the man page.

The last line "Sent from my iPad" was quite fitting as a device that he conceptualized :-)

When the iPhone first game out, and was expensive and hard to get, the signature risked coming across as an affluence brag.

For multitasking, this tool has helped me a lot: https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/ . Though I still can't figure out why some apps don't work in split view, the window manager just says "Not available in this split view". Split view has always worked in Windows no matter what the app.
One thing I have found for myself is that the keyboard shortcuts on Mac tend to be more uniform among all the different programs. I've also found Command much easier to use than Ctrl on Windows. I say that as a Windows user, who went to Mac as primary device, and now splitting Windows/Mac roughly 50/50.
The shortcut schemes on Mac makes me a far better multitasker than on Windows (with that one caveat being switching between multiple windows of the same app, which I agree, is counter-productive).

>GNOME is nigh unusable other than as an expensive piece of wall decor. Examples you can expand on?
Lack of customization for one, either I do things the GNOME way or the highway. Screw that, if I wanted that I would be using MacOS and/or iOS instead since Apple does that far better. Form factor dissonance for another. GNOME clearly targets the mobile form factor, and it fails me for all the reasons Metro in Windows 8 failed me because guess what: I'm using a desktop/laptop, not a tablet/phone.
