When I try to zoom in (by pinching the touchpad) on one of the charts at the bottom of the site, Firefox crashes. I guess there are too many pixels in the black bar :)

Yes, I was thinking the same.. For several years, I'm pretty happy with PathFinder by Cocoatech: https://cocoatech.io/

The things I miss the most when I accidentically open a Finder window: Cut files wit CMD+X to move them (never understood this when coming from Windows), cycle the files in a folder (start on top if you reach bottom and vice versa) and the comprehensive info bar on the right for files and folders. Give it a try :)

Instead of CMD + X you can do CMD + C and paste with CMD + Option + V

I love that.

Also the MacOS "Zoom" button makes so much more sense than the OSX/macOS green button - and I still miss window shading.

Press Option and it behave the way it used to. Or you can double click on the top of the app's window

What I miss is not being able to set the priority of WiFi networks

That’s highly specific to the US. Most other English-speaking countries say “the Fourth of July”. To me it feels weird to say July fourth.

LimeLimestone · 9 months ago

"July fourth" kinda sounds like there are multiple Julies this year and this is the fourth one :D

After looking at the photo, and before actually reading the post, I was sure it was a switch for retrofitted fog lights - they are not required in the US and you must to have them in Europe in order to pass MOT.

I have an almost identical looking switch in my Mustang (which I imported from America) and it does exactly that - turns the fog lights on and off :)

It does in sane countries where nutrition labels are required to also include the per-100g stats.

But in North America, they only need to show the per-serving column. Combine that with the <0.5g rule and the fact they are allowed to pick the serving size, you end up with tic tacs which don't mention any sugar on their labels.

As someone who is from Europe and tracks their calories, I find it appalling and it makes calorie tracking more inconvenient

> The department data reveals that close to 94% of the time people freely revealed their phone passcode to officers, despite there being no legal requirement to do so.

There really needs to be better education in civics. It's so important to know your rights, especially when someone in a position of authority tries to abuse that authority.

LimeLimestone · a year ago

Does it apply to non-citizens?

As far as I know, in the US you can politely decline a phone search if you are a US citizen. If you're a foreign tourist your only choice is either to allow the search or be denied entry to the Land of Freedom™

How does it work in Australia?

I used WAVE browser addon on the Airbnb website and it showed 37 errors, 1 contrast error and 98 alerts. And they want to talk about accessibility?

Accessibility aside, their website is an unusable, resource-hogging mess which doesn't even use proper cursor pointers for <a> tags and tries to mess with my scroll.

This is my first time hearing about it, despite daily driving MacBooks for 10 years. Does it have any advantages over other compression software? I've been using Keka for a long time and it has yet to disappoint me.
