PeterModern macOS is just sooooo great: The long press feature to get to letters like ä with a US layout craps out randomly now. Sometimes a reboot helps, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it comes back on its own. But of course it's a feature designed for multilingual people and we know those don't exist in California, so, you know, no one tests that shit. ffs.Luckily I use emacs which has toggle-input-mode. I'm pre-writing every message in a scratch-buffer now. 😅<a href="https://chaos.social/tags/ItJustWorks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ItJustWorks</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#macOS</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emacs</a>

Scott Murray :neurodiversity:<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Mac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mac</a> nerds: When you have an Open dialog visible, you can normally drag a file from the Finder *onto* the Open dialog (in another app) and the dialog should "navigate" to where that file lives and select it.You knew that, because you’re a <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/pro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pro</a>! 🤓In some apps, though, that same maneuver results in Finder actually *moving* the file to whatever directory is shown in the Open dialog — not “navigating" the dialog *to* the file and selecting it.What gives??? This drives me crazy. How can I make the behavior consistent across all apps?(And yes I web-searched first, and this was the only other person I could find on the Internet with this same concern: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/18c0gdg/tip_you_can_drag_files_and_folders_into_open_and/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/18c0gdg/tip_you_can_drag_files_and_folders_into_open_and/</a> )<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AskFedi</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Macintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Macintosh</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ThinkDifferent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ThinkDifferent</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ItJustWorks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ItJustWorks</a>

BenAdventures in Mac Ownership:Your device may randomly decide it doesn't have its own hostname any more because the mDNS utilities did a stupid. Because their implementation of Bonjour manages to forget that *it* is the computer with that name, sees that name because of reflected traffic or otherwise receiving it, and determines that another device on the network has that name.This has been a bug since... 11 years ago, and it just has never been fixed.Mac: <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/ItJustWorks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ItJustWorks</a> (Or Not)

Jon SullivanWhy does Apple's Voice Memos app need to suck so much? Many iOS versions ago, it automatically named my recordings with the date-time. When that was removed, I wrote a script to relabel my recordings using File Creation date. That now doesn't work, as when I share with my Mac, the file creation date becomes the date I shared it. Why? Thankfully, the recording date-time is still stored in the "Create Date" field accessible in the Terminal via exiftools. Sigh.

ttk✔️ (DO1TTK)Mein Notebook ist heute der Meinung, dieses Fenster rendern zu müssen. Es gehört zu keiner Anwendung im Dock oder Menu Bar, ich kann es auch nicht schließen. Es ist verschiebbar, aber nicht in der Größe veränderlich. Klicke ich es an ändert sich die Menüleiste nicht. Ein Reboot kriegt es auch nicht weg.
