I'd love to see more people using Firefox.

That's exactly what I might have said, for years now... But, I am done with FF's over-riding my own "default" search engine choice. It keeps reloading all the 'default" search engines, AND selecting GOOG for the address bar, despite my having eliminated all but my own so-called "choice" for "my" search engine from their installed bundle/list. If I can find a legacy version of FF that doesn't ignore settings/prefs, or, another browser that can run uBlock Origin, I'm done with Mozilla's contemporary thing, forever.

[If you could see and feel the dramatic, negative impact of these hordes of self-entitled "tech" workers on present day San Francisco (and even parts of the East Bay)] ...would have been to pass an ordinance which "confined" tech workers to remaining on-campus, dining inside the company store cafterias, thus sparing the citizens, and actually working people, of our community. Please, kiddies, go back to your "open plan" cubbyholes in Mtn View, Sunnyvale, Fremont (LOL)... wherever...

After 8 months of posting no updates, and rarely logging in, no one has even noticed I'm inactive. If they have, they're not bothered to send a DM to see whats up. Friends lol.

Anonymous LOL.

That's right. he should give all his money to every man, woman, and child in the US. Cut us a one time check for $460, and it will surely change our lives.

Actually for quite a few people, it would.
That's a few months of food for a family.

Really? Like what? Cat food?

Yes, and Facebook remembers literally everything about you for decades, but it magically can't remember that you selected Chronological Order... You have to reselect it. Every. Fucking. Day.

No Shit. This.

In most companies, if the first tier of tech support is unable to resolve your issue it gets escalated to a 2nd tier of support personnel. At Apple it gets escalated to black hole, requiring customers to file class actions to get resolution.

That is completely, utterly false, without any historical backup, and zero present-day merit, whatsoever. You are either an idiot, retarded, or an assole... or, my guess, based on using Apple gear (and tech support) since 1978... you're all of those things. Please go fuck yourself, quietly, if possible.

You are an idiot.

I think you're confused. I don't spend thousand of dollars on crappy hardware.

They'll somehow manage to get by without your $$$... You're still a fucking idiot.. and a parrot... and a dimwit... etc...

FTS. Ives needs to take a long vacation.

Totally agree... and then some.

I was running jailbroken phones, for years, primarily due to user interface (you know, "design") issues that bothered me, the "user." Were they minor issues? Yeah. Ex: the Dock, even when not used, is always there, with their crazy-useless gray "blur" effect. Why? No ability to have nested folders. Again, why? Folders, in their limited usage/availability, also have that stupid gray "blur" background... Yeah, why? No killall for backgrounded apps. Why?

I lost my JB on an SE about 8 months ago. I went out and bought (consecutively, with "swaps" in between) a series of Iphone 8 and X models, in a vain effort to find one with an early-enough, jail-breakable shipping version of iOS. No-go... So, I decided to hell with it, and just bought a iPhone 7, in factory-default everything.

And I no longer care, but it bothers me, that even with my apps all in logical folders, on Page 2, my Homescreen still has a cropped version of my wallpaper (the alley in SF where Sam Spade's partner gets killed near the beginning of the Maltese Falcon), riding on top of that useless, ugly, blurry-gray Dock.

Ives needs a very long vacation, yes indeed, but the people who decided it was "his way, or no way" in terms of benign UI factors... those people need to be run out of town, permanently.

Trust me, I know that none of this shit actually "matters." I get it. But why must we have these simple UI chains inside their "walled garden?"

no nothing staff

Oh, the irony.

hahaha

I'm not exactly sure what people use them for, Facebook or something I guess,

That your best guess? Really. Well, try these, dumbass:

Final Cut Pro

Logic Pro

And guess what? When plugin guys are too lazy and/or stupid to update their 32-bit stuff to 64 bit, they're out of the show (and post-production, also), like, immediately, no matter how crucial they think they are. Bye bye, see ya...

Oh, and I run Windows 10 Pro, and a couple versions of Linux at the same time (rarely) on the Mac, also, in that one-in-a-hundred scenario where I actually need some old thing to do some oddball operation... So, Windows isn't entirely "useless," just, not as necessary... in the production world as it might once have been. Probably great for Chrome and other google/nsa/MS spycraft bullshit, though, I'd imagine... Good luck with all that shit, sport.

This has always been an appeal to emotion rather than reliance on actual facts and figures.

Thank you for speaking up, and shining a bit of the light of reality on this subject, and specifically, this right-wing, pro-corporate, absurdist "argument" against moderate regulation of would-be unfettered capitalism, not to mention the necessity of enforcing equal treatment before the Law.

There's all kinds of cosmetic and usability bugs floating around...

Final Cut Pro X can't be launched on a MacBook Pro in "clamshell" mode. Five iterations of 10.13.2 beta have failed to fix, despite Apple's escalated support knowing about this since the betas of 10.13.0. Obviously not going to affect many, but for me, and quite a few others, a serious fuckup.

Mail.app links launch Safari, despite any other browser being chosen as "default." Annoying. Fixed, temporarily, by deleting safari.app. Then, on second test, Evernote gets launched. Moved evernote to external drive, and firefox.exe, inside Windows 7, inside Parallels, launches. Moved Parallels to an external drive, now, finally, firefox.app launches. Success, but... Pathetic.

Ongoing USB issues; Devices often needing to be hot unplugged/re-plugged in order to register and kick in. Lame.

"Ignore Trackpad when other device present" staying "active" (i.e., disabled) even when external device is disconnected... the beat goes on...

Analysis? They're spending way too much time on the phone.

Same here, back on FF 53, mainly to keep extensions, but a huge part of the reason is to try and defeat the minor shit-tonne of UI glitches and screwups involved in macOS High Sierra. The issues are just rolling over through four (and counting...) iterations of the beta updates... Don't get me started on that, Apple has clearly spent too much time on the phone. And Mozilla is a performing dog trainer that periodically, for zero reason, pulls an Old Yeller on the trainee... It's crazy out here

...let me know.
