"… would love to switch to another platform but whenever I try KDE or GNOME my experience is always ‘not quite as bad as Windows’, …"

For more than two decades, I was a huge fan of Apple's OS. Yosemite was the killer, I switched to PC-BSD.

Now, preparing to switch from FreeBSD to Linux:

– whilst I do miss the excellent aspects of Mac OS X, the worst aspects are so bad that I'll never switch back

– I can barely tolerate Microsoft's desktop environment, and that's not because I'm anti-Microsoft

– KDE Plasma ticks more boxes than any other DE.

YMMV :-)

Apple hält sich bei den Verbesserungen des MacBook Air vornehm zurück. Doch der neue M4-Chip, eine folgsame Kamera und ein kleiner Preisnachlass reichen aus, um die vergleichbare Windows-Konkurrenz auf Abstand zu halten.#Technologie #Technik-Tests #MacOSX #Notebooks

If you're looking for software to create and maintain a copy of your #music files in other formats, be it for storage on #portable devices, #format #compatibility or #streaming, then you might be interested in that piece of #software I wrote :
framagit.org/atom/AtOM

It's #GPL, and should run on #Linux (tested on Debian Bookworm and Trixie), #MacOSX (looking for testers), and #WSL (looking for testers).

one of the most important mac applications i've had since the powerpc days is telestream's ScreenFlow.... which began its life as a simple screen recording app, and slowly transitioned into a full tilt video editing suite over the next 15+ years. i've paid for a couple of upgrades over the years, just because it's 100x more enjoyable than dealing with final cut pro 🤢

screenflow has two cringe-inducing downsides:
- it requires activation (with a serial number)
- telestream breaks compatibility with older versions of OS X every single year and won't support older versions after a period.

they officially quit supporting anything older than v9.0 in 2021, which is tantamount to publicly announcing that v1.0 - v8.0 are now abandonware.

long story short: i spent the night archiving every single release of ScreenFlow from WBM and uploaded them to the mac garden. if you've got anything from OS X 10.5 to 10.14, you now have a working copy of screenflow.

they are uncracked at the moment - but i've contacted a fellow macgarden member who may know how to disable the activation on them.
