Source? Why would the organism build all those synapses for 14 years just to drop half of them?


Still better than 2.7 K you'd get without it.

The website looks expensive as well. /s

I believe it was actually expensive because the developer spent 1/2 their tenure picking that sick font. I do actually like it.

> But from past threads in a Linux Forum, seems this only applies to people using the Apple IOS App for Patreon. Not sure if using Apple Laptops. But if you use Patreon's WEB Site directly, the fee cannot be collected by Apple.

Moreover, the fee only applies to the subscriptions made using Apple's payment system. That being said, in most jurisdictions their payment system is the only one developers can use in an app. IMHO, this is the real problem.


Look, there’s little I can do about my government. Maybe I can help you fight yours? They can’t harm me and you can bet I’m not visiting.

Can we help somehow?


> It's the typical problem of free software: bad UI. > I use Music on macOS

I’m surprised to read this. While I have quite high tolerance for bad UI and don’t have my own opinion, I’ve heard many a Mac / iOS developer practically spit on Music.app design.


I've also read people have much hate for the Music app. But I think it boils down to 2 things:

1. In certain setups macOS tends to launch it automatically and in unwanted situations, for example when a headset autoconnects.

2. People are pissed about the annoying ad-like pushing of subscriptions and other stuff.

I don't have those problems. As mentioned, disabled "Apple Music" and "iTunes Store" and all that crap disappears from the UI. I also don't have a headset.

The good things:

- It integrates nicely into the OS (as you would expect from Apple's own apps).

- It's very flexible in the ways it displays your music. It has everything from a mini player with varying degrees of info display up to a full screen mode.


Dunno, I don’t care about ProMotion (I’ve got it and I don’t see it), but sleep and battery life are very important to me.

Are you sure you've actually used the higher refresh rate? It might not be enabled by default. I'd be surprised if you can't tell the difference comparing 60hz to 120hz back to back.

Well, I have an M1 Pro MBP so I'm pretty sure.

edit: ok, I've tried toggling ProMotion on and off, and I can see it. However, I still think the improvement is marginal.


I use an M1 Macbook Pro for work and an M2 Macbook Air for home, and I basically don’t see any major difference.

Asahi includes a shell script that you run from macOS before installation to properly partition the storage (it’s quite involved). I guess, GP ran the script and then just booted from Nix ISO and installed to the new partition.

Oh, I had the same (?) issue! Restarting the app fixed it temporarily. Closing (copying to a text file) all tab groups fixed it completely. Until I accumulated them again.

I think it’s possible to turn it off completely. Or have they ripped that out in Tahoe?
