<p>Oh not really, but the article just reads like it’s from an observing putting of view, without tangibles.<p>The killer thing was remote control, but that’s here in Claude now. In my opinion claw has to reason to exist anymore.<p>I tried it, didn’t like it. It gave me the ick with the communication channel.</p>

<p>Words and writings (law) only have power because of violence (the monopoly of it)<p>So yes, in essence, it seems like violence is the answer.<p>When (perceived) justice is gone, the monopoly crumbles because the system is not working.<p>And this perception can have many causes</p>

<p>Sure.<p>But the proper api call to make is selecting a picture. Not access to the photo library.  That is an api design flaw, and simply a bad / obsolete implementation by the app developer.<p>The complaint of the OP is that he can still open a file which is in the downloads folder. But that’s not what the user is doing.<p>There’s no reason to give folder access at all. (Except for file sorting apps etc).<p>The only “reason” would be that it’s more difficult for developers to atomically overwrite a file in the same locations.  
And quite frankly, they should (and perhaps already do) have api calls for exactly that.
I think this is why many apps request access sometimes.</p>

<p>You “feed” it the document.<p>Same way you select a picture on iOS. It is your deliberate decision and intent to open the document with that application.<p>That is totally different from the application having permission to scan and view anything in for example the downloads folder</p>

<p>You will still run into shit when one application instance is used in two spaces<p>Finder, chromes, etc. it will cause automatic switching.<p>Also, cmd-tab doesn’t have a filtered mode for the active space<p>Cmd-~ actually works better when using stage manager, because it goed through all active windows across all apps</p>

<p>This is exactly my thought as well.<p>Soo many things either work buggy, laggy, inconsistent, or don’t work at all<p>Filling bugs doesn’t help. And I don’t think anyone is inventive to fix bugs.  Resolving sure. But closing WONTFIX or NEEDSINFO is also a resolution.<p>Most of what I do is chrome +Linux terminals and vscode anyway<p>And the only reason I’m on Mac is because of hardware, encryption, and ease of backup/restore/wipe, and the power struggle of Linux distros. freeBSD is not really an option</p>

<p>Ahh good question. I had to think a while before I understood what you meant. Let me check when I can.<p>Nice catch.<p>edit:  you are right. The binary version will result in a different argv[0]. Not sure what'd the best solution would be. Hardcoding doesn't make sense, as symlinks also change argv[0], so overriding is not the way to go.</p>
