686·22 days agoI hate the multi desktop stuff.
Drag a window to top of screen and it doesn’t snap full screen fast enough or consistantly.
Doesn’t like to display 1 window across 2 screens.
Sometimes a window will shoot off to the side past the visible desktop for god knows what reason.
You can’t nativly set up the mouse scroll to work in reverse direction to the touch pad.
I’m still not sure how to uninstall things.
When my headphone cable is plugged in and I turn on the Mac it insists to make the boot sound though the speakers as an advertizment to the world that there is a Mac around.
If I click x on a browser or app, it doesnt actually shut the program, it just minimizes it.
I can’t easily see the size of hard drives/folders and how much space is left available.
Files are just scattered willy nilly in a folder instead of snapped to a grid unless I set that folders defaults…per folder?! Instead of across the whole OS
They are my personal top of mind gripes.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Would it be considered trespassing when my psycho landlord closes my bedroom window from the outside?
9·29 days agoIf they are coming over in announced thats against ’ quiet comfort’ theyre not allowed to do that already. Closing the window is cherry on the cake

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Would it be considered trespassing when my psycho landlord closes my bedroom window from the outside?
15·29 days agoIn Australia that issue would fall under ‘quiet comfort’. I don’t think they’d be allowed to do that.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Framework says it's selling more Linux laptops than Windows as new Laptop 13 Pro sells out first 7 batches
12·3 months agoWhen I was looking for laptops regular laptops came out cheaper. I couldn’t justify the cost of a framework at the time.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•According to an MIT study, relying on ChatGPT for stuff like essays and creativity leads to cognitive atrophy and such. What should I do when writing stories without ChatGPT and other AI chatbots?
6·4 months agoRead the book storyworthy by Matthew dicks. Set up a framework for a 3 act structure or heroes journey. Fill in the framework to find your story everything else is gravy. I do this professionally. The steps are simple. But the inward searching of your soul, that’s the hard part.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do first time movie writers ensure someone along the way won't get ripped off? Like say Jay in the mail room sees your scripts and develops it himself, what recourse is there against mail clerk?
51·4 months agoBe honored its worth stealing. And be happy you didnt have to put up the cash to test the market. Also, your first movie won’t be your best work. There is another in you. When you write the 2nd one use the lawsuit to pay for its creation and it will market itself with the drama.

Technology@lemmy.world•Copyright Industry Continues Its Efforts To Ban VPNsEnglish
11·4 months agoYeah it’s outdated. But should the worldwide license cost the same as the licence just for lithuania? What if you were a small upstart just trying to do something online for your local community? Or a school hosting licenced media for study purposes.
While you are right there are theoretically no borders on the internet. They can be built, Netflix US or Netflix AUS for instance are geo blocking so they can pay smaller licences. And that is their right just as much as it is for a school which is fenced with a .edu login. At least in copyright laws current iteration. Who should be responsible for an outside actor getting access?
Fun to think about.

Technology@lemmy.world•Copyright Industry Continues Its Efforts To Ban VPNsEnglish
1·4 months agoNa coz you own the media outright. But streaming a show from a country on Netflix that you are not in, is against the licences terms. I don’t think you would be liable. Its more a Netflix problem providing media to someone who theyre not licenced to share it with.
Edit: I’m thinking offline physical copys not online serviced games.

Technology@lemmy.world•Copyright Industry Continues Its Efforts To Ban VPNsEnglish
5·4 months agoLicences for media are country specific. So vpns allow you to circumvent that. I don’t beleive it’s piracy. But it’s…something.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some simple changes you made to your life or some workflow that has improved your life a lot?
10·5 months agoWhen a workflow is bottlenecked I write it down in a list of things to solve in the future and continue with the rest of the work. And one regular schedule I make appointments with myself to solve bottlenecks and streamline things. Its really powerful. Instead of getting distracted during the day. Stay in flow, sort it later.
I use logseq for my notes.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Under the most ideal circumstances, how 'clean' is drinkable tap water by the time it reaches our taps?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How does internet advertising work? Where is all the money coming from? More...
11·7 months agoAds are actually pretty incredible. If no one knows your brand, all it takes is money to tell em. It’s like a short cut compared to having a good product and word of mouth.
Its essentially like a cold call, but you know the audience is at least generally interested in your topic because of targeting. All that data that is being taken and sold from you, is being sold to avertizers.
Pay Google for getting on search on Google and youtube.
Pay meta to get ads on Insta and Facebook.
If you spend $500 to sell a $3000 product, it’s a no brainer. Ita basically printing money when it works. So yeah, companies are paying when the results match. But also when they are testing the waters to see if its worth it to them.
