Great recommendations! The Unarchiver is godsent! :D

For some reason after reading this (because I’m very new to Lemmy), your post made me feel like that squiggly thing / slime inside the box that wanted freedom, then the moment it takes a step outside, got punched back in and now is happily being inside the box, even if its cramped.

I think it was a meme too.

Yeah, but I do feel that way (after taking a look there)

Huh, I already got VLC, but no harm in trying out IINA.

Homebrew is … ridiculously good. I mean sure, I’m not a terminal guy and the last time anything remotely terminal I’ve touched was probably MS Dos era as a kid (and that is OLD) but the more I get into homebrew the more I appreciate its goodness. Sure it takes some time to rewire my brain to read through all the data on the screen, but it is very straightforward, and whatever pops is whatever pops (basically no need to reinterpret or guess the problem), and I like homebrew as possibly one stop to do anything and everything. And update --all LOL, that is MASSIVE.

thanks again! :D

You’re all kind folks and I hope to pay it forward / play it forward!

Hey there. Thanks for the response. Yeah I have Raycast, (I think I posted before) and I kind of like it. I’ll also grab the AppCleaner and UninstallPKG.

I have used Wipr before on my iPadPro, I’ll definitely add that to my MacBook safari. Noir seems nice, I do face that problem. I just added Peek and I’m glad to see that you recommend it too. Thanks again!

Hi there!

Oh right, VLC. Yeah I forgot about this good old servant. I’ve used parsec before, and yeah I think I’ll give it a whirl. I don’t do coding, but I’ll definitely put visual studio code into the list Aha. I’m mainly a firefox guy, but I’ll give Orion a whirl. I mean no harm trying new stuffs. I mainly use it as a “bring as much work as possible”. So i also had to install Google suite and Microsoft suite (because my work relies on those).

As for other things, I’m probably toying around with Local LLMs, so I’m using JAN AI (they have an app that really utilizes metal, but the app is not written in apple’s language, I think, or I may be wrong, but it is one of the fewer LLM frontends (and backends) that really makes use of Apple hardware (such as MLX). I also use a lot of Lumafusion, and I’m also using that on the MacBook, but maybe I’ll try using something like Da Vinci, until I can justify buying or needing Final Cut Pro and other Apple creative suite. (I’m just using that because in the past i had an iPad Pro, and it was the best “on machine” video editing device I can use with almost no downtime.

Thanks again!

Uncle Kracker - Follow me. I used to sing the shit out of it, because I just liked the tune. Until I learn there was a whole different meaning than just “I’m the better guy” lyrics.

I still humm it, but it hits differently.

Interesting. This actually puts into question why certain subs does not have countries assigned. Like news should be news, not a one country spesific news.

Non American here, but we’ve seen how things unfolded when something parallel-ly similar happened. I think its time for Americans to see that just like any other nations that their leaders talk about “we need to remove them because they’re corrupt and they’re impeachable in their own country”. I think Americans on whatever ends need to realise that morals have bottomed out, and what they have is a legal system, not justice system.

I wish you the best of luck with your endeavours!

Thanks! I will use that one.

Makes sense. Sometimes only once out into reality then only we’ll know if it is a great idea, or not. But it doesn’t hurt to have the tools to try. Those who want really high quality stuffs can go to the humans (and pay them good money) to make it even better.

I personally think maybe it’s also in need of quality posts or engagement, but in larger quantities.

That said I know my post may not be quality input, but this is how I feel.

That might just push Taiwan into wanting more independence.

oh boy, if the shares are low enough Vivendi will eventually be able to do a hostile takeover (and that isn’t a good thing either).

Well, Ubisoft dropped the ball hard. (or balls)

This is very powerful. I mean the entire phrasing. The judge certainly did not muck around! (BTW, non American here, but I like the choice of words and phrases he used in his sentencing)

Not an American, but I did buy digital books on Amazon and Kindle.

Have you seen the new ruling about games from California? Doest that apply to ebooks (since its digital goods?) Or not?

I’m actually surprised that they pushed such a big update. I hope they will continue to push more updates.

This game keeps giving me pleasant surprises.

The feature is impressive if you want a primer into discussing the sources of materials or a gloss over kind of preview of the materials.

To game it to do in depth stuffs, I heard it was possible but you need to do a few things. Sadly I don’t.

Still, I did try it for most new documents I receive and wanting to get an overview and I must say I’m not disappointed (even if it’s very superficial in my use cases)
