RmDebArc_5Just because it’s better than windows doesn’t make it good
PantherinaHad to show a person today how to install Nextcloud. Literally Nextcloud and we couldnt find a way to move to the home folder. Its somewhere in a menu but damn macos is fucking weird, like a toy.
I always thought it was like “the apple unix” or “the better ios which doesnt suck” but actually it seems just as locked down and childish like a toy.
People are used to that?? Damn we are fucked
As Richard Stallman said: Steve Jobs created a cage and made it so shiny that millions of people want to be trapped in it
(From memory so not exact, just search Richard Stallman Apple fanboys are fools)
Semi-Hemi-DemigodMacOS gets much more fluid to use when you memorize the keyboard commands. Command+Shift+G in the Finder brings up a menu where you can type any path you want, including ~
CapeWearingAeroplanecd ~/ && open .
Are you saying you couldn’t get the home folder to open? Or you couldn’t locate the folder?
Isn’t it just the in the shortcut pane, the username with the picture of a house? To you try to open the ‘go’ menu and select ‘home’?
Yes Nextcloud (for some reason) can put itself in the shortcut pane, but for some damn child-proofing reason the home folder is not there??
The Home folder is there, but you just didn’t know how to find it. What you experienced was “not knowing what you’re doing” which just means you needed to learn how to use what you were trying to use.
Nah, its the OS actively hiding stuff. Just like windows and Android forcing you to use their folder structure.
I may be a bit linuxy here, but thats literally what my dad told me, and on Windows it makes more sense, to put everything in the main directory and use CAPITALS for folders only so you see they are yours.
For sure one could argue macos is just different and you can use that top menu, but what are the shortcut buttons there for? Its a decision and it felt veeeery weird. Even though it may be fixable
