This has been my only serious complaint about the Mac for 20 years and fixed it with my first vibe Mac app a year ago: https://gitlab.com/spacest/InputLanguageKeeper (no keylogging) Does this app fix Spotlight getting current language instead of system default?

It has many advantages but also serious issues. On the latest Ubuntu, I started downloading a game from the App Store during a background OS update and it locked up so bad I had to run the terminal with a hot key to salvage it. That’s not a real desktop experience.

Interesting, would be nice to see a demo video apart from that unclear GIF

They introduced a limit to 1000 photos, I deleted almost everything, then somehow they didn’t go through with the limitation, only warning me about nearing 1000 photos. Anyone knows what exactly happened?

Refactoring jQuery to vanilla JS was one of my first AI dev experiences a couple of years ago and it was great.

Not sure the App Store field should autofocus. Mac menus draw the frame first, then after a delay we see the items. That is inexcusable

Pixelmator Pro is fantastic. I've forgotten about Photoshop for many years. Just buy it.

Great points and my favourite: The menu now draws a blank frame first, then populates it with items. Sometimes taking up to half a second. Nobody noticed this?

You can’t force it to be always open on desktop and collapsible on mobile. That was a deal breaker for me.

Not sure opening a new tab would be viable, as they are sometimes blocked unless you tap a small permission button. Becomes much more confusing and unfriendly

Interesting. Strangely, no mention of HTML, whose tables can do colspan. Just don’t add CSS
