I've tried some clones for mac os, but they all missed some important (at least to me) functions. Like typing not going to the command line editor, or not having a command line at all.
So it's midnight commander from macports for most complex file operations for me.
Anyone who thinks finder is the worst file browser hasn't used Windows for 25+ years. Explorer can't even search files on the hard drive of the computer it's running on.
Explorer has its thumbnail processor on the same thread as the UI so if you have a lot of pictures in a directory it'll just hang indefinitely. Sometimes if you have too many files it won't display any at all.
If explorer crashes, it's the same process as your desktop and taskbar, so that disappears too.
I’ve never really understood the love for Explorer in any of its iterations. It was just alright at its best in the Win7 era and somewhere between mediocre and bad in other eras.
I think peak Explorer was like back in Windows 98. Snappy and easy to use. With Windows 7 it became a mess with the ribbon thing. On Windows 11 it got even worse, it's slow.
It's interesting but also annoying because localized versions of macOS don't have the same shortcuts, or at least I cannot make them work. The main problem is that some special characters such as / are in a different key and they also require modifier keys to type them.
Insufficient sun exposure is responsible for approximately 340,000 deaths annually in the United States and 480,000 deaths annually in Europe, while non-melanoma skin cancers account for 63,700 deaths worldwide. Skin cancer only occurs due to excessive exposure combined with a weakened immune system, which is really rare.
You're more likely to die in a traffic accident or from insufficient sun exposure than to ever develop skin cancer.
Australia. We have the highest rates of skin cancer in the world due to high UV levels.
“Skin cancer causes more deaths than transport accidents every year in Australia.”
I can’t leave the house for more than like five minutes for big chunks for at least half the year without having to smother myself in sunscreen so for large parts of the year I just don’t go outside during like 9AM-6PM.
I fell asleep once in the car with the window open by mistake, I was out for like 45 minutes. A decade later that arm is still an entirely different color to my other one. Wild, one of the worst burns I’ve ever had.
edit
And to think, that’s die from a skin cancer, not merely develop it. So it actually blows that claim out of the water for Australia by a way larger margin than I initially thought.
2 out of 3 Australians will develop skin cancer in their lifetime.
Yeah, one of the things I loved about Europe was being able to go outside on a lark without worrying that if I wasn’t watching my watch that I’d burn to an absolute crisp. I miss that :/
CodeWeavers are actually making wine, not just some "emulator". They then distribute this along with some QOL tools as a commercial product called CrossOver.
Huewoblfan is not taken! Noiewoidc is free. XIONqlic – totally available, can mean a range of things! Ciohupoij – a bit of asian flavour but still a valid free name.
JSON5 allows comments, it's been around since 2012. That said, JSON is not meant for humans / manual editing, and deciding to use it for configuration files was a mistake.
Thinking that a new, least sucking data format won’t be used for configuration was a bigger mistake. Like, yeah, I will exchange all my data in JSON now, but store configs in a good old XMLNS XSLT DTMF?
Store configs in the program if you can. Store in INI, TOML, or something similarly simple for humans if you must. Never use anything that requires matching syntax as the default (closing tags and matched brackets being the two main ones).
JSON is already strictly worse than XML though as it doesn’t support comments and multi-line strings in a sane way.
Thanks, but I tend to ignore this. Every time you, as a direct end-user, provide feedback on format or software, someone appears with a whole philosophy around why you shouldn't be like that and what you should do instead. And sometimes there's no "why" part even.
But I really don't need philosophy. I know what I want, and I want json with $subj, //comments and optional key quoting. Feels like some people just love making inconvenient things standard and/or teaching others how to live. (I mean the idea "json is not for X" here, not your comment)
EU should have just banned all collection. You give an inch and the parasites take a mile.
If given an active choice nobody* would ever go "yes I want you to sell my data to your 1,414 carefully selected partners". Maybe they want personalisation when they sign up for an account, but you ask them that at signup time, not the first time they land on your page.
