Not to mention in the early years, all of the logic you'd see from iPhone enthusiasts who would convince themselves that they didn't need X or Y feature from Android and in fact iOS is better without it anyways because it just works, only for Apple to turn around and implement it a couple months or years later anyways.

Basic features like the notification shade, quick actions, home screen widgets, etc. I saw a lot of people happily claim they were better off without these things.

Yes. I remember being argued down that "we don't need copy and paste! That's not an important feature!". Smh

Right click!? Two mouse buttons are way too confusing for Mac users!

[–] techgearwhips@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Oh man I forgot about that one! 😂😭

What's the key combo for right click on macos, if your track pad and mouse aren't working? No one knows... Or can tell me. They always say "jUsT gEt aNothER mOUse"... Yeah dickhead, I'm on a plane, what's the key combination?

Windows it's shift+f10.

Ayy they caught up. Do the icons still forcibly tile to home?

[–] Etnaphele@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes and no, I think there is an opt-out toggle.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Ay alright, catching up!

[–] techgearwhips@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yes we have an app drawer now lol (I use an iPhone as my secondary phone).
