Hmm, looks like either #macOS #SystemSettings' Storage screen can't add or it can't find all applications...

It says there are 509.26 GB of applications, but when I added up the claimed sizes from the same screen, it was only 312.04 GB

Thus, (at least) one of two things is wrong — either the displayed total is nearly 200 GB too large, or there are applications not in the list or with the wrong size in the list.

#TIL: #macOS has a Shift-Cmd-. shortcut in the Finder to toggle showing/hiding hidden files. Why I did not learn this until 20-fucking-25 is beyond me!

I mean, I know why, 99.999% of the time I care about hidden files, it's in the terminal. But still.

Apple started to ruin Sonoma too with Sequoia style bugs...

Beware!

Today on AppAddict - 5 Small Gems I Found This Week - Here are a few small apps I found this week from my usual sources and tips from Internet friends:
Sentinel - from indy dev, Alin Lupascu, the guy behind the popular uninstall utility, Pearcleaner, Sentinel has a couple of Gatekeeper related functions:

DarwinKit looks interesting. It’s a Golang Framework to build macOS apps and lets you call Objective-C APIs.

It just works

Got a mac, my first ever mac. Need to understand how to use this thing, so many computer paradigms that are alien to me from Win/Nix background.

What do you use to install apps? Is the package manager like Linux? Or do we just download random binaries from the net like Windows?

Major frustration so far is display scaling. I want 4K resolution but with larger text (I need like 2 extra points to make it usable), but that doesn't seem to be a thing? (also this settings menu is a dumpster fire, why the fuck can I not make it wider lmfao)

(of course I should of added this, not after your opinions on big tech, yes they're all evil, but I need to learn about macos)

Nothing like walking over to your kid to find they’ve dug out your laptop and are sitting at the #macOS recovery screen.

#linux #ubuntu folks that also work in corporate regulated fields, any recommendations for a remote device management software? Something similar to #kandji for #macos

I might have to recommend one so that $work can control my laptop should I install Ubuntu.

Behold, the #magic #trick of the century: an #AI that lets you cheat through #coding #interviews . But hey, maybe the real test is finding a #MacOS version that doesn't blow your cover. Just remember, if you can't pass the test, you can always pass the blame on "undetectability" issues.

Today on AppAddict - AppAddict's One-Year Anniversary - One year ago I posted my first app review on AppAddict. I'd recently subscribed to a new blogging service and I was trying to figure out what to write. I figured that my love of downloading and testing new software was something worth sharing. Besides, I was trying to figure... - https://appaddict.app/post/appaddict-s-one-year-anniversary - #Mac #macOS #Apple #AppAddict

weird #macOS bug:

Has anyone had the issue where System Settings app runs (as in there's a dot under it in the dock) but no window shows?

If so, how did you fix it?
