#372Countless person-years of engineering effort, and Spotlight is still mostly useless. All I want is to hit Command-F to quickly search the filenames in the current folder (not start a sluggish scan of my entire hard disk). There used to be workarounds for this, but then they removed "Find by Name..." from Finder just to make our lives harder. Does anyone know a workable alternative?

wow - how is this not the default? It's always the behavior that I expect to happen, and I'm pretty much always surprised and disappointed when it does a global search instead.
> how is this not the default? This is just speculation, but based on a conversation with my partner, there are two types of computer users. The first group makes use of hierarchical storage, consistent naming conventions, and other organizational tricks to give them a rough idea of where any file might be. The second group has never heard the term "file systems" and just stores everything with an arbitrary name in w…

#374How about fixing the damn MIDI server which is crashing since Yosemite?
Seriously, another big update feels like a pack of minor changes which could fit in a small patch, marketed as "whole new level with groundbreaking capabilities"

Because on newer Macs, it’s rewriting the whole OS partition with a new firmware image, much like iOS and IPSW files. Windows, on the other hand, generally does incremental upgrades.
That can't be the whole story. If we assume the drive can write 500MB/s (conservative), and an OS install takes up 50GB of space (conservative), it should take less than 2 minutes to write the partition. Where does the other 58 minutes go?
Other 58 minutes is collecting telemetry

Look up dotfiles on GitHub - for example https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/blob/main/.macos
Oh, my! # Trackpad: enable tap to click for this user and for the login screen # Trackpad: map bottom right corner to right-click # Disable “natural” (Lion-style) scrolling
ha-ha imagine dragging things with two fingers PRESSED INTO TRACKPAD instead of beautiful (yet hidden deeply in settings) three-finger drag
this is old-lenovo-hacker style

#377I'm surprised they released this. I try to participate in every macOS beta I can. This is by far the most unstable release I've experienced. - Settings app has a lot of weird bugs and performance issues. After a restart I have to wait a few minutes before the Settings app actually functions. Overall the Settings app has felt like a step back in terms of UX and performance - Lots of weird issues with Docker (might be…
I just upgraded my Mac and holy cow, is the new System Settings app buggy... and it's also fixed-width for whatever reason. Also, it seems to think - for a few moments after every restart - that my Wifi connection is to a hidden network, when it actually isn't. Welp.
System Preferences was always fixed-width; it's Windows's Settings app that's not.

I don't understand why it is not avaliable for iPad. Usually, I am using my macbook lid closed and I have an iPad in my desk. It would be very good to use its camera and mics for video calls.
Lot of pixels languishing under that lid there...
I hate to look at dramatically different sized screens simultaneously. So sorry cute little pixels.

#379I’m usually excited about macOS releases but this one is an underwhelming update and don’t see any reason to update any time soon. Stage manager seems like a half measure to introduce better window management in macOS and it doesn’t help that it doesn’t support a keyboard only workflow, from what I can tell from the demos. Coming from i3wm, I found Yabai to be an excellent keyboard-first window manager. I do wish som…
Wouldn't it be awesome if Apple added window-snapping, and i3wm-like keyboard support? They'd leapfrog every other OS in an area where they've been behind for a while, and gain tons of praise from power users. There's so much low-hanging power-user-fruits that Apple's bizzarely not picking, like uBlock Origin support in Safari, better window management, and a Homebrew-like package manager.

My previous experience with Windows (~3 years ago) was that every single update took ~2 hours to complete, and they were asking to update weekly. I used to game weekly with my friends, and because of the above problem, I would have to turn on my computer the night before and start the update so I would be able to reliably play a game the following day - otherwise, there was an extremely good chance that they would st…
I heard Apex runs pretty good on Linux via Proton
