In all reality, you can put Mac applications anywhere. There’s even a dedicated applications folder in your home folder. It’s just a really old legacy thing.

Literally the reason why I use apple products is because their UI is the only one which is consistent, looks the best, and performs the best. MacOS/iOS pings the GPU to draw animations with a higher priority than other tasks which makes it a smoother experience overall.
I strongly believe that the flat and dull UI design of windows and Android looks cheap, tacky, and out of place on the highest end devices. Glassy UI design is the pinnacle of UI design because it looks the best, gives a sense of layering that’s lost with an opaque UI, and puts the powerful GPUs in modern devices to work which ties into a sense of value for money when you buy the higher end devices.
If Apple rebranded themselves to be a flat UI like Windows did from 7 to 8, I’d literally sell my apple ecosystem on the spot. I however don’t see that happening because my bet is that they converge with VisionOS in which glassy design is a critical UI design choice that enables VR and AR to be as seamless as it can be.
I have kept an eye on the android ecosystem and think I’ll switch over eventually if Samsung adopts a glassy UI that permeates ALL of the UI and not just the notification shade/homescreen icon drawer/edge panels. However though, since Samsung doesn’t have Linux software, you have to use Windows’s myphone app alongside Dex applications on windows to get the continuity features I get in the apple ecosystem. As a sidebar, the removal of Samsung notes as a universal windows app (Only Samsung laptops can officially run Samsung notes) left a particularly bad taste in my mouth for android because I feel like that sort of thing could happen with anything I rely on within the ecosystem.
As a note about the windows ecosystem: it’s incredibly slow, android apps are being removed from Windows in 2025 (which would make me rely on Dex for any continuity at all). Windows applications are generally coded poorly, are not uniform because there’s a lack of CoreUI frameworks to build an application off of, and it just looks awful with the mix of XP settings icons and Windows 11 icons all smudged together for legacy reasons. Windows 12 needs to completely overhaul its UI and android continuity for me to even consider using it. As it stands now, I would switch to Linux because I could have a glassy desktop theme, but the continuity features just aren’t there on Linux with android.
Affinity Photo is also really really good. I’d imagine it’s high profile and will have good support in wine.
Disturbed’s cover of the sound of silence is profoundly better than the original; I highly suggest you check it out

I switched to Bitwarden after 1Password moved to electron and booted selfhosters off the app and into their sub model. Jesus Christ is the current Bitwarden UI bad. It’s easily the worst looking application on my phone that isn’t a banking app; I’ve had zero issues with the functionality though.
The Tegra processor in the switch was like 2 years old when the switch was released. How much you wanna bet they release the Switch 2 with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (at best) in 2025 and call it a day? They know that emulating the Switch with that hardware will be possible right out of the gate on day 1 with current technology.
All the more reason to put your windows personal folder and /home folders on a separate partition. Windows IIRC doesn’t enforce you storing applications in a particular location, so just make your OS install small (you can resize it later).
I do a job where my hands are potentially full and I cannot touch my phone for extended periods of time. I use the assistant for as much as it will let me…
I’ll have a joint for you this afternoon 😌 congrats from Sonora
here in the US in my situation it boils down to my parents/grandparents not being able to understand the difference between any texting application. I’m fine using SMS/iMessage because I know everyone has it. I’d say the vast majority of non-technologically savvy people I know are incapable or unsure how to use the basic functions of their phone (very few people I know in this category use their phone for anything else but calls, texts, and the web browser; everything else is just unused for either lack of understanding or lack of interest).
As much as I would hate it, I’d consider strategically voting against her, definitely in a primary election, for sure in a general election just to get rid of her. Fuck her.
KDE Connect is something I keep my eye on and check in every once in a while: Is there a dedicated page tracking updates specifically to KDE Connect? I’m really very much looking forward to a time where it is feature compete with Android compared to Apple’s continuity platform. I would absolutely love to move to Android+Linux as my daily drivers, but I feel like I’m giving up on too much by leaving the Apple ecosystem.
Does Connect use BTLE?
Could you guys implement an auto tethering option between phone/PC?
How instant are notifications synced? Do notifications disappear on one side or the other when viewed on one or the other platform?
Maybe implement a “link to KDE” notification toggle to mirror the “link to windows” functionality of Android?
I was like 5: I typed in yahoo.com, searched “pop” because it was the only word I could think of at that moment.
Earliest interesting thing: I played the old flash game where you get X-ray glasses and you look at people’s junk when I was like 6.
on T-Mobile USA: I preordered my iPhone 15; the QR eSIM and automated SIM transfer system was completely down and I had to spend 30 minutes to an hour on the phone with customer service to swap over my physical SIM to an eSIM I could type (IIRC) into my new phone.
NH even lets you register to vote at the polling place. (Your ballot is provisional until you prove residency)
It really confuses me why people would want to play a competitive video game that is balanced around profit. Riot openly admits to buffing and nerfing based on skin sales and champion releases.
They’ve been doing this here in southern AZ since I became a member like 5 years ago lol
Niagra falls is a one-way trip into the Great Lakes, although it does look like there are other passages through that area for fish.
there’s really no such thing
