this week's opinion.
-
@NicksWorld @pawpower @ratking @SapphireRose91 osx is the operating system on the mac. OSX on the Mac is like iOS on the Iphone and iPad.
@techsinger @pawpower @ratking @SapphireRose91 Oh, gotcha. I've always heard it be called Mac OS.

@NicksWorld @pawpower @ratking @SapphireRose91 same thing, different name.

@MariahL @mcourcel @pawpower @SapphireRose91 @ratking All I said was that Mac would be better off being as simple as IOS.
@NicksWorld @MariahL @mcourcel @pawpower @SapphireRose91 @ratking I would like to use my Mac more than I do, so if there are people here who use Mac as there daily driver, are there any resources out there that could help me learn how to use my Mac more efficiently? I would be more than willing to learn, because I really do like my Mac, but because I've been using Windows for longer, I'm not as familiar with how to use a Mac. And yes, everyone has purposes for different things, it’s not productive to indirectly bash people because you don't understand how they use something you don't.

@LeonianUniverse @NicksWorld @MariahL @pawpower @SapphireRose91 @ratking @lynessence Lynette, do you have any suggestions for a budding Mac user?

@mcourcel @LeonianUniverse @MariahL @pawpower @SapphireRose91 @ratking @lynessence The only app I know that works very well with Mac is Mona. i haven't tried it myself though but I've seen Leo use it.

@NicksWorld There you go. An uninformed opinion. You, don't use a mac. You can't give an opinion like that without having evidence to back it up.
@SapphireRose91 @NicksWorld with respect, I would say the same. By all means try the stuff yourself for a few days at least. It shouldn't cost money, no questions asked returns do happen and if you have a credit card, there is no issue. Try the products yourself. Everything else is just hearsay. By all means listen to the hearsay, but give yourself a week or two with everything, at least enough time to get over the hump. Your opinion will be both more interesting and, I think, a good deal more nuanced.

@NicksWorld @MariahL @mcourcel @pawpower @SapphireRose91 @ratking Also, I want to dismantle the argument that it took me 3 hours to make the Rimworld Access mod work on my Mac. It did, but not because the Mac was hard to use, but because I was being a dumbass and I forgot to install the harmony mod first before Rimworld Access, and that's why it wasn't working, not because my Mac was all of a sudden too hard for me to use.

@techsinger @NicksWorld Also, Apple stores are willing to help you out with teaching sessions and such.

@SapphireRose91 @NicksWorld That's true too, but I always hate those because they don't really get it and want to show you what you can do without VO. I have yet to see a guy really know how to use VO in a session, and indeed can't really expect it. I don't, of course, mean someone knowing how to turn it on, I mean really work with it.

@LeonianUniverse @MariahL @mcourcel @pawpower @SapphireRose91 @ratking I watched you fumbling around the folders and stuff, it sounded incredibly complicated.
-
@SapphireRose91 @LeonianUniverse @NicksWorld @MariahL @pawpower @ratking Oh good. Glad you said it. Lolol!
-
@SapphireRose91 @NicksWorld @MariahL @mcourcel @pawpower @ratking Lol, I guess I can be a little bit of a dork sometimes!

@techsinger @NicksWorld My fiance has done it a few times. He's been working for Apple for over a decade.

@NicksWorld @mcourcel @LeonianUniverse @MariahL @SapphireRose91 @ratking @lynessence Applevis is a fabulous resource with manuals and tutorials, and they have an app directory where apps are rated by their accessibility and use ability in categories. I highly recommend that you start there.

@SapphireRose91 @LeonianUniverse @NicksWorld @mcourcel @pawpower @ratking Windows can be just as much trouble if not more. I had a time a bit ago where my Rog Ally's bluetooth audio driver had a whole moment and I tried everything I knew. Turns out all I had to do was delete the devices themselves from device manager, but I struggled with that for three weeks. Not because I didn't know what I was doing, but because the process didn't have any end that I could easily figure out because windows was being needlessly stupid.

@SapphireRose91 @techsinger Is your fiance blind? because if he's been using a Mac as his daily driver, he fits what you've been talking about.
-
@mcourcel @pawpower @SapphireRose91 @ratking I just gave my opinion. Is that such a bad thing? Other people wanted to fight me. That's their choice.
@NicksWorld @mcourcel @pawpower @SapphireRose91 @ratking Nick. I have read through some of this thread. You get yourself into trouble with this all the time. You make the generalizations and then when people confront you about it you get defensive. Really think about what you’re saying before you say it giving an opinion and framing it in the context of what your experience is is great just making blankets statements is not. That’s how you offend people and turn people off.

@NicksWorld @MariahL @mcourcel @pawpower @SapphireRose91 @ratking It wasn't even that hard tbh, once I learned how the file system worked, it was actually pretty easy, it just sounded hard to you because you weren't fully listening to me doing it and doing it successfully after I figured out the real problem.
