This is such an Apple brainwash, like how many apps in background you think has everyone else, my linuxbox has almost none, the rest is just non-linux from third party, unless you only install apps from Apple and like having a subpar experience, everything you install is just from third party on which they have no control on. And killing apps doesn't mean anything for AI, it doesn't run anything useful on 8GB, doesn'…

I'm not sure how comparing a mobile OS like iOS to a linux box is useful. iOS can kill background apps from memory outside the app developers control.

For the first time Apple responded to my bug report through the Feedback Assistant and requested more information, so kind of feel involved in this :) So the bug was about the screen recording permission needed for some apps, Shottr specifically. Despite me allowing screen recording previously macOS Sequoia kept asking me to go into the settings and give the permission. According to Apple, that should have had happen…

That looks a little frustrating. I wonder if there is a way around it?

It's especially frustrating since you always stumble upon it when you have something else in mind, this your flow is broken to re-confirm something you did a month ago.

I'm not aware of a fix, hopefully more people will write a feedback about it.

Window tiling! If you drag a single window to the top does it maximize, and unmaximize when you drag it away? That's been my most wanted feature in macOS since forever (yes I have tried the third party ones). I don't really care about tiling multiple windows, but I've always hated the macOS full screen behavior, and before that the old green button behavior, so an alternative that finally works well (the way Windows…

Windows 7 only had that since 2009... better late than never I suppose!

Didn't the original Windows 1 put all of the windows in tiles?

Genuine q: is cmd–backspace too much? I’m in general pretty satisfied with the Finder keyboard navigation/editing. Especially with “enter” for rename, copy/paste/cut/move and deletion too…

I never understood the enter for rename shortcut. People open (or "execute", which is the general understanding of the action for the "enter" key) files far more than they rename them.

The Mac didn’t have a CLI in the first 16 years or so, so there’s no traditional “execute” meaning for the Enter key. I’d argue that the thought here was that by pressing that key, you’d want to enter a new name for the selected file.

I think it's actually easier on macOS because you can just swap everything if necessary. For some reason I don't understand, iOS does not employ swap, so while it can kill background apps, it can't kill foreground app.

That is true. I'm not sure why iOS doesn't do that while macOS does. Maybe mobile storage isn't performant enough? At least when iOS was originally developed.

I meant more the drag to snap, but good point!

Not sure if MacOS has had that in the past though...

Installing it on my mid-2015 MBP thanks to Open Core Patcher!

Nice that it can still be supported. Couldn't go back to Intel though personally!

I have an M1 Air 8GB and a 2018 MBP 16GB. Performance feels about the same until the Air hits swap, then the old Intel MBP still outperforms the M1 Air.

Thanks to the new API that comes with Sequoia, I developed a new translator app for Menu Bar that doesn’t require internet connection. If you are interested, please have a look: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/offline-translate-translator/i...

what new api?

Most annoying problems so far..

1. Screen-recording permission once every week ?

2. No more sudo spctl —master-disable. Alternative way is bit complicated.

2. No more control+ click to bypass gatekeeper.

3. Why tcutil reset Accessibility not working for a specific app? It works for “All” .

4. Script to convert NSURL node ref url to posix url not working.

5. Normal usb Mouse pointer acceleration is not smooth. May be need to re tweak those again.

Anything else ? Otherwise all good.

I'm not sure how comparing a mobile OS like iOS to a linux box is useful. iOS can kill background apps from memory outside the app developers control.

Because other OSes don't kill OOM apps? Or any app they want? It is only Apple and only possible on mobile? The only thing that apple has, is the inability to have background apps, so that if you want to use third party sync services, like syncthing, you can't and have to stick to apple products, the rest is just like anyone else
