paulrickardsAm I the only person that can't remember the cat names or California locales of MacOS releases? Like, just give me a number. Numbers are easy for me to compare.
13 < 26 = True
Sonoma < Tahoe = ??
Alda Vigdís@paulrickards I used to, but I was a fan at the time.
My dad does though and he's much more of an iPhone and home cinema sort of guy.
Tom Greene@paulrickards I am definitely with you. I know I am using v15.7, I don't know or care what its code name is.
root42@paulrickards no. Twenty years ago it was easy to remember, but now… phew. Don’t get me started on Ubuntu code names…
Hugo Mills@root42 @paulrickards At least the Ubuntu ones go in alphabetical order.
Michael@paulrickards 11 < 98 = True ;)
dan 💾@paulrickards The cat names were mostly alright, but bits of California, not a clue
Rockwell Schrock@paulrickards There was a hilarious discussion of this in @atpfm episode 567 at 1:42:00, where they try to recall with the names without cheating. https://atp.fm/567
Mark J. Blair@paulrickards You're not the only one.
Sindarina, Edge Case Detective@paulrickards It's for people like you that they went to yearly release numbers 😄
@paulrickards I don't have that specific problem, as I don't use MacOS, but Debian releases? Yeah, very much so.
Zelda 🎀@paulrickards Californians are so weird about this. The basic idea is in Star Trek Lower Decks as well. I cannot remember any other locale's residents having a similar quirk in their products.
UpLateGeek@paulrickards I’m totally the same, have to google it every time.
Eli the BeardedEvery single name based version. Debian, Mac, etc
Karl Baron@paulrickards I could until there were more than like 6 of them, now I can barely even remember what the latest version is. I wish they at least did an alphabetic thing like Android did
Regionales Retro-Rechenzentrum@kalleboo @paulrickards I wish they would have named or upgraded the first digits of the macOS version number only when significant additions were made. Like, when they added Spotlight. Or Time Machine. Or 64 Bit.
But not for “the app that’s bundled with the OS got some improvements in a special section” …
fergycool@kalleboo @paulrickards I blame Microsoft for Windows 95! OS versioning was all going well until then.
deeje@paulrickards I hate the names
Friedemann Wachsmuth@paulrickards this. Exactly this.
