It is indeed very strange and annoying. And I don't remember it being so bad ten years ago (although I had to use witcher for alt-tabbing - which actually worked well, unlike AltTab now). Since Linux, and both OG Mac Os, I am used to h

If I have Office stuff open and the whole system crawls, then the system isn’t snappy. It’s like the claim is “get a Mac and you’ll never see a slow down ever again! Just as long as you run software that won’t make the whole system come to

I don’t get it either. What are these people doing that keep saying that Mac OS is snappy. It’s the same slow garbage as windows. One problem is that you need Firefox because safari doesn’t peppery do ad blocking. But once you have 20 tabs

Maybe there could be some hack to create more borders within the United States, so that perhaps 90% of the population could live within 100 miles of the border. For example, declaring the middle of some lakes to be non-territorial waters? C
