Mopping out Laszlo’s masturbatorium.

I always undo my laces before taking off my trainers.

No matter how tired I am, I always take a few seconds to untie my laces, because if I don’t I’ll wear through the heels and then I’ll need new trainers.

Everyone knows that vampires live in a detached single family home on Staten Island.

Truly the land of the free, lads.

They’d be better off delivering a warm turd through your open window.

I wonder if MAS can work through Mint, even if just to download the installer?

Might try it later.

My old cat Benji was the sweetest boy. We had him for his nine last years before he died at almost 17.

One of the things he’d do was sit on my chest, purring like a lunatic at bedtime. I’d read my book while he got as close to my face as he could, damn near drooling he was so happy. We called that Belly Time, and it was a genuine high point of my day.

We’ve had our current cats for two years, and neither of them have any interest in doing that. It’s been four years since we lost Benji, but I still miss it almost every night.

I mean, yeah, there’s loads of tech nerds, but it’s the internet so there’s always going to be.

But honestly, the vast majority of the people I follow are just regular folks who like to chat about regular stuff. Like how they use Arch, btw.

I don’t really mind clickbaity headlines, but I’m getting real tired of LIVE headlines, where instead of writing a story they just do Mastodon-style live reactions, like me getting pissed and watching Eurovision.

This is kinda like a thing my wife and I do. She’ll play a game and if she loves it, she’ll ask if I want to play it too so she can watch.

I’m currently playing South of Midnight and it’s wonderful.

Yeah, that’s odd. As long as an app is in fullscreen you should be able to drag it from screen to screen when Mission Control is active.

As for the double click; Finder will only maximise the height without changing its width, but all the other apps I tried filled the desktop.

I don’t know why people would gripe. There’s a bunch of different ways to resize windows in macOS. You can fullscreen them into their own virtual desktop, and sure, unless you drag another app alongside then no, that’s not compatible with other windows at the same time. Personally, I use fullscreen for apps that I don’t need to interact, or that I want to have full focus on. iTunes/Music for example, is kept to the far right of the spaces on my right hand monitor. I know where it is and it’s easy to access without taking up space on the desktop.

But you can also make them fill the regular desktop by double clicking the bar at the top of the window. Or you can drag windows to various sides of the screen to resize them, the same way you can with Linux and Windows.

And yeah, there’s Stage Manager too, but honestly, I’ve never really seen the point. Not on a Mac anyway.

I’ve used apps in fullscreen for as long as it’s been possible, and I’ve honestly never found it confusing at all.

You can move them across displays. Just open Mission Control then drag it from one screen to another. Or drag it to a desktop if you want.

As for maximising; just double click the bar at the top of the window. No extra software needed.

Now that macOS supports window tiling there’s a number of ways to lay out app windows. Fuck Stage Manager though. I’ve never been able to work out the point of it.

My 2014 Mac mini server is running Mint. All in all it’s a really nice setup.

Oh, and a 2011 mini that I use to give induction presentations at work.

Unless I misunderstand, you’ve been able to do that since around 2011.

So he is. It’s been a long day…

What’s especially dumb about this is that Tom is an excellent writer. Villager is wonderful.

Christ, that’s astonishing.

It’s an M2 Air, so it does. Runs very well on it, in fact. But as it currently doesn’t support external displays it’s a little limiting. Other than that, it’s a decent experience. But ultimately macOS is still somewhat more polished.
