    I really wish I had the money to upgrade my M2 MacBook Air. it's becoming atrocious to deal with the 256GB of storage. macOS SLOWS to an absolute crawl when the disk gets close to full

        sad thing is, I knew the M2 Air had devaluated on the second-hand market lately, but I didn't expect it to go for as low as €500 or sometimes even less 🥲

                @nileane and you know what I found was taking up TWO GIGABYTES??? COOKIES!!!! "Oh but they're tiny, it doesn't matter how many you have..." I was like some of these are 5 years old and 135 Mb, what is even going on here. 2Gig. Ridiculous.

                  @nileane oh woof I hadn’t expected it to drop that quickly! Stupid non-upgradable storage 😔 Here’s to selling many more launchers!

                      @nileane also I’d love to map the Globe key for the emoji picker. Just the globe key. I can disable it from System Settings > Keyboard > “Press (globe) key to” but it’s not picked up when I try to record it.

                        @skc you can make it work by setting the Globe key to open the native Emoji picker in System Settings, then in TinyStart reset the Emoji hotkey to the default (control + command + space), and now hopefully the Globe key should trigger TinyStart's emoji picker!

                                @nileane I’ll give it a shot but I might have that key combo as a global shortcut for another app I use for window management.

                                    @nileane Already done 👍🏼 I'd recommend keeping an eye on the Apple refurbished store for a (practically) new Mac upgrade when funds allow.

                                      @nileane no luck on my computer, no global shortcuts are conflicting. Globe key just opens Character Viewer.

                                        @nileane It’s criminal that they sold it with 256Gb SSD combined with a low ram count which means that poor SSD is swapping all the time.

                                        My M2 Air 24Gb 512SDD feels really fast still.
