Right, but this is something that has never existed despite it being a fairly obvious interaction gesture.

Mario Kart DS.

Shit’s a masterpiece.

Oh fork! This was the Bad Place all along!

The Apple TV remote is rechargeable, though not backlit.

They were trying to be cunty, and in that they were a success.

MS does this with ALL their forums, and it’s cunty.

But what if OP works at the hotdog fleshlight factory?

I’ve lived in one rented house that wasn’t entirely magnolia, and that was when I rented my nan’s house to help pay towards her nursing home costs.

Other than that: yep, fucking magnolia.

Brilliantly, not all magnolia is equal. Scratched the wall in my current house, so went out and got a tester of Dulux magnolia to patch it up. It’s a slightly lighter shade 😐

I’d ride the CHUNGUS 3000.

He also said the Cybertruck is “what Bladerunner would drive”.

he doesn’t actually know a fucking thing about sci-fi.

I’ve also just realised that the BetterTouchTool method doesn’t translate over Universal Control. So my Mac mini’s trackpad can’t activate the BTT shortcut on my MacBook, and vice versa.

Yeah, I know column view is an option, I’m just wondering why - for a company as focused on trackpad manipulation as Apple - they never brought that to Finder. And since my original post I’ve noticed that swiping doesn’t work in Settings either.

It just seems like a bizarre omission.

For future reference, Pixelmator is a great app for what you want to achieve, though it does cost more than simply using Freeform.

I bought it years ago, but the iOS and iPadOS versions are still updated. The macOS version of Pixelmator Classic I have has been deprecated in favour of Pixelmator Pro, but my older version still works.

It’s telling that my piracy of music all but disappeared when Apple Music came along. (Almost) Everything I want to hear is right there on my phone. I don’t have to switch between different services to find artists.

Now, whether such enormous consolidation of the record companies, allowing that kind of setup, is a good thing is another discussion…

Yeah, I’ve thought about this too.

Apple update their OSs annually now because the shareholders demand constant evolution, meaning the devs have to constantly be on top of changes to the OS. And it’s fucking exhausting how badly it affects us all.

Alright, check out Muscles Georg over here, with all his muscles!

At which point he becomes a Republican.

This puts me in mind of Arkell vs. Pressdram.

Relevant XKCD

I had a similar experience with the TV show, Broadchurch.

I lived in one of the towns where it was filmed. The church, two of the main characters’ houses, the newspaper office, the high street, and the mechanic garage in the second season were all filmed in Clevedon, near Bristol. I lived about 100m from the church while they were filming it.

Watching the show, they’d walk down a familiar road, turn a corner, and suddenly they’d be on a beach in Dorset, 70 miles away. It was always jarring.

Great show though.
