Yes, certain elements are kind of a pain in the ass on the Mac. But the Mac hasn't been the best platform to run CS apps on in years. Windows is. Hell, Photoshop runs better in Windows than it does in OS X *on identical hardware.*

Since the 90s, to maintain an Apple product, Adobe has had to: Port from 68k to PPC, then from Classic MacOS to OS X (Photoshop 7 SUCKED on the Mac, but it ran in both operating systems), then they had to adapt from OS X PPC to OS X Intel. Apple jerks their developers around constantly, while Windows just isn't the same kind of moving target.

While I'm sure you'd love it if Adobe conformed completely to Apple guidelines and played nicely with comparatively recent (I know 10.7 is "old" but the move to Intel is older than that) features that have no Windows equivalent, keep in mind that the more hassle the Apple market is to develop for, the less likely they are to develop for it. Remember when they stopped releasing Premiere for the Mac for awhile because it couldn't compete with Final Cut Pro?

I still use Photoshop on a Mac but only occasionally - I've moved my entire toolchain to Windows, and while it sucks in some ways the Mac experience doesn't I've gotten used to it. I'm looking at expanding my line art production software, as there's a few options in that space, but for graphical heavy lift Adobe has effectively cornered the market.

Importantly, I've been using it since 1997 - any alternative has to be featureful and intuitive, and it's competing with 20+ years of muscle memory and needs to be able to correctly read ~15 years of files.

I use an extension named "ScriptSafe" to give Chrome NoScript-like functionality. The web would be completely unusable without it.

Go back to telling me EXACTLY what you're changing on my system when I install your update and I'll go back to installing them.

(It also means you're only making $41,500, so you're better off negotiating a salary at $49,999.)

Tinfoil hate time: Maybe this is a long-term plan to drive down employee salaries?

There's no incentive to buy newer phones anymore since they're not adding dramatically new must-have features.

My current iPhone has a headphone jack. My next phone, whatever the model, will have one.

I use an old G4 keyboard on my Windows box. While transitioning from one to the other for graphics work I just could not adapt to the lefthand meta key layout - on the Mac it's control alt command space, with most meta commands using command, then command + alt, with the control key used infrequently. On windows it's control, then control + alt, and the Windows key is a hazard to navigation. On a PC keyboard I hit the damned thing incessantly; it was much easier to train myself to skip over it with a Mac keyboard.

I used one of the slimline laptop-keyboard-with-a-number-pad models until it finally wore out recently, and after having a good long eyeroll at the ridiculous markup they've succumbed to in the last decade, I dug a G4 board out of storage. It gets the job done.

Downloading multi-gig patches that contain nothing but BR skins and StW bugs sucks ass when 99.95% of your game time is spent in StW.

I went back to Guild Wars 2, a game with actively maintained PVE that doesn't get worse with every update (technically speaking; there are those who'd complain about class balance and modifiers but after Fortnite, "the visual effects for my abilities actually draw" and "the community isn't constantly scamming me while waiting for me to do their quests for them" are HUGE plusses).

Got onboarded by friends a few months ago; spent a couple of months lovehating the PVE, and it'll probably be uninstalled whenever I need hard drive space. The in-game community is terrible, there are some deep design flaws, and while I was playing PVE continued to get buggier and more aggravating while every patch contained a huge list of fixes and skins for Battle Royale (PVP) with next to nothing for Save the World (PVE). BR got next day fixes for critical issues while key StW class abilities had been broken for weeks when I left.

The only good thing I can say about BR is you die too quickly to tilt, which is more than I can say for Overwatch. Cosmetics seem to be the big draw, and while I can enjoy that content in some games, in Fortnite they have no attraction for me at all.

If you're willing to wait you can get just about any game for next to nothing. Considering most modern games either come with perpetual updates or a lengthy update/patch/DLC cycle, patience is a great way to get more bang for your entertainment buck.

I tried for awhile around ten years ago. It's a good idea in theory but in practice the vast majority of the feeds I bookmarked were entirely content-free, boiling down to "THIS WEBSITE UPDATED. CLICK HERE FOR CONTENT."

And hell, I can get that without a feed reader, just by checking bookmarks.

My webcomic has an RSS feed and it gets clobbered daily by automated traffic, so it's still in use - though I doubt very much that many, if any, humans even notice or care.

People have been demanding "a la carte" cable for decades.

Well, we finally got it - you can buy all the individual channels you want. Thing is, each one is now its own individual streaming service, with its own account and billing and app interface and media catalog.

Give it another five to ten years and there'll be services that bundle these services for you, and then we can start complaining about how Cable 2.0 is charging us too much for packages we don't use when all we want is Hulu and Netflix.

I just shifted to following a handful of artists on social media - the general trend of webcomic update notifications integrates seamlessly into the rest of my twitter feed, and it seems to be easier to interface with some creators, at least casually.

I dimly recall seeing ads in RSS feeds back in the day but that may have only been on one or two sites. Fact is, while RSS is great for the consumers of information it's not nearly as useful for content creators, at least where monetization is involved.

I tried RSS back in the late aughts - problem was, nearly everything I read at the time was a webcomic, and their RSS feeds amounted to little more than update notifications. Full syndication was rare then, I can't imagine how rare it is now.

Do I use RSS? No. But the feed on my webcomic has gotten over 8,000 hits since I added a redirect from the old feed location a few weeks ago, so it's definitely still in use.

I don't have this problem at all on the desktop. On my phone, on the other hand, it happens with every single website on the commercial web. The damned things spend more time loading than they do displaying content, and it seems like pages are constantly refreshing, only to add nag-boxes for some mobile app I don't want, then to bug me to "subscribe." etc. End result is I don't feel compelled to upgrade my phone, I just don't use the web on it anymore. I can't, it's crap.
