> One of the most annoying things after installing Tahoe for me, that for no good reason an ordinary app would randomly lose its focus. In the midst of my typing.

So its not just me!

I'd imagine only SteamOS on the GabeCube could make this guarantee on Linux

Cook doesn't seem to a have any taste for product design, isn't he a logistics guy?

What’s the best resource for getting a handle on all modern CSS for someone who hasn’t paid attention since flex box

Yes, and he will control CNN just prior to the first midterms runoffs, this is all part of a plan.

That is exactly what is going on. Everyone at WB management knows that the Ellisons want to weaponize CNN before the midterms runoffs start in spring.

They’ll be replaced with cheaper humans in Mexico using those Copilot seats, that’s much more tangible and obvious, no need to wait for genius level AI

LLMs raise the floor for confidence for near/offshoring in the executive class. That’s the actual sell.

Edit: in the context of SWE at least

I made sure to match brand between my TV and sound system for this reason. Also reminds me: you can have wake from sleep with an Xbox controller on PC, but not any other controller, and Windows won’t wake if I turn the TV on and switch to the PC connection; consoles have done this a long time.

* two major platforms on PC and one of em doesn’t sport a Big Picture mode

* the other store does nasty tricks like never terminate a game process completely when you launch their titles through the other platform (very obvious w/ Alan Wake 2)

* other store’s titles doesn’t have this problem if I use Playnite as the TV frontend, but Playnite is a giant security vulnerability waiting to happen cause you need 3rd party plugins to emulate Steam Big Picture

* entire swatches of games that act funny with Steam Input or have incomplete configurations and I don’t feel like figuring that out just to play Backrooms

* Windows window management when using Steam Big Picture w/ controller is bad, b/c lots of desktop things will steal focus (hello Rockstar Games and EA)

* oh yeah, mandatory LAUNCHERS

* Try to play Mass Effect Legendary Edition on a TV with a controller; no really, try

* don’t even get me started on OOTB auto HDR config for almost any random TV with PS5 vs dicking around with the NVIDIA control panel

* the Steam store navigation w/ controller is baaaaad in 2025, many times you won’t be able to move or select certain things.

This is an incomplete list. It actually doesn’t matter whether you have a point-by-point refutation, no non-technical person wants to deal with any of this. They want machine to take care of everything. That’s what an appliance is

This. Zero reason I should have to download Playnite for a unified gaming frontend

Whyis quality dropping like this between Windows and macOS? Is this asking this even just rose-tinted glasses on the past?

Firefox kills my battery on an M4 MBP, it’s astonishing. Chromium and Webkit browsers don’t give me that problem.

Also, FF extensions still don’t support service workers, only background pages

Absolutely

Zellij has interesting ideas, but it has a ways to go. You can arbitrarily rebind the base modes and their actions, but you're F'd if those conflict with a plugin's, which seem to all have hardcoded key binds.

You can't rebind key maps to its session manager plugin, making it a no-go since I bind the same key that the plugin uses to select a directory or something. Thus, I can't create new sessions through it, have to do it from the command line.

It is insane how little is written down, and written down well, in my limited experience in Enterprise, never mind thoroughgoing written communication
