@bigzaphod There are no "small cinemas" in USA? Or hours with less people? Or seat reservations to choose optimal location?

Bad behavior of others is of course always a risk, but big screen and high-fidelity sound was always an enticing factor for me.

It also allows to focus on the movie way better than at home.

Today is Fork's birthday 🎂. It's been 10 years since the first commit. Time flies, but when we look back at our journey, it turns out it hasn't been a short one. Thank you for being with us, for your feature requests and bug reports! ❤️ Looking forward to the next 10 years!🤘

I can't believe why perfectly fine, simple Contacts app was massacred 😵‍💫

All those HUGE avatars makes no sense, they slow everything down to a crawl even n fast devices.

Also Spotlight showing recent messages & photos first instead of actually useful data like contact informations.

ai is genuinely incredible for building tools and prototypes. i use it every day

but there's this weird thing where people who never shipped anything at scale now think the hard part of software is writing the first 200 lines of code

it never was

Omg yes! I can't comprehend why multiple windows somehow seems like something hard to do with Electron, why is that?

Is it because websites are inherently "single page" and that limitation extends to web apps on desktop? 🧐

Over the last few days I shipped 2 major features for http://thecommander.app that would shock the pants off 99% of Electron apps out there:

1. Multiple windows – I just love it. I can keep all sessions in tabs or separate windows and lay out my work on the desktop however I want. #macos #macdev #agentic

2. UI session restoration – this feels so natural. I can close the app and relaunch it at the exact moment where I left off.

Oh, this is so much true! I learned *a lot* this way. Knowledge that for sure helped in the future on real Macs.

I don’t think for example that any „real" Mac users even saw the text-mode boot sequence of OS X, knew what „kext” is or how to troubleshoot various low-level stuff on it.

Granted though, a lot has changed since then.

The MacBook Neo is such an interesting machine that it coaxed a thousand-word-essay out of me: https://samhenri.gold/blog/20260312-this-is-not-the-computer-for-you/

@jordanhipwell Oh yeah, I forgot some default settings that macOS ships with - and some of them are kind of... weird. Like those related to trackpad for example.

But also defaulting Finder to show „All Files" by default for example + many other little things.

@paul Even better and more efficient - a lightweight hypervisor that would "switch" hibernated OS on-the-flight depending on connection.

With modern flash storage that would mean just few seconds to replace the memory with other OS live 🤓
