For some reason after reading this (because I'm very new to Lemmy), your post made me feel like that squiggly thing / slime inside the box that wanted freedom, then the moment it takes a step outside, got punched back in and now is happily being inside the box, even if its cramped.

I think it was a meme too.

Yeah, but I do feel that way (after taking a look there)

Huh, I already got VLC, but no harm in trying out IINA.

Homebrew is .. ridiculously good. I mean sure, I'm not a terminal guy and the last time anything remotely terminal I've touched was probably MS Dos era as a kid (and that is OLD) but the more I get into homebrew the more I appreciate its goodness. Sure it takes some time to rewire my brain to read through all the data on the screen, but it is very straightforward, and whatever pops is whatever pops (basically no need to reinterpret or guess the problem), and I like homebrew as possibly one stop to do anything and everything. And update --all LOL, that is MASSIVE.

thanks again! :D

You're all kind folks and I hope to pay it forward / play it forward!

Hey there. Thanks for the response. Yeah I have Raycast, (I think I posted before) and I kind of like it. I'll also grab the AppCleaner and UninstallPKG.

I have used Wipr before on my iPadPro, I'll definitely add that to my MacBook safari. Noir seems nice, I do face that problem. I just added Peek and I'm glad to see that you recommend it too. Thanks again!

Hi there!

Oh right, VLC. Yeah I forgot about this good old servant. I've used parsec before, and yeah I think I'll give it a whirl. I don't do coding, but I'll definitely put visual studio code into the list Aha. I'm mainly a firefox guy, but I'll give Orion a whirl. I mean no harm trying new stuffs. I mainly use it as a "bring as much work as possible". So i also had to install Google suite and Microsoft suite (because my work relies on those).

As for other things, I'm probably toying around with Local LLMs, so I'm using JAN AI (they have an app that really utilizes metal, but the app is not written in apple's language, I think, or I may be wrong, but it is one of the fewer LLM frontends (and backends) that really makes use of Apple hardware (such as MLX). I also use a lot of Lumafusion, and I'm also using that on the MacBook, but maybe I'll try using something like Da Vinci, until I can justify buying or needing Final Cut Pro and other Apple creative suite. (I'm just using that because in the past i had an iPad Pro, and it was the best "on machine" video editing device I can use with almost no downtime.

Thanks again!

 

Hi.

I'm just going to ask here. Not so recently (about nearly a month now, technically this is my third weekend) I received my long awaited on hold 13" Touchbar Macbook Pro M2.

So, let me preface this, I (think) I'm an iPad Pro power user, but I have zero knowledge on Mac OS. I've been playing around to get loads done (and it does get loads done), what are some of the apps that you good fellows would use in your Macs?

I'm trying to get inspiration. Initially I didn't install anything, then I over-installed got got chastised by a good friend as "I'm turning my mac into windows" and then I dialed the dialer back.

For now, I think I have -bash (because it was required for something, even though I know nothing) -lots of python (because the apps require it to run -BetterTouchTool (I'm using goldenchaos config as a base, still learning) -Raycast (I find it... amusing. I'm still trying to marry the functions of Raycast and BetterTouchTool)

Of course there are other apps, but I'll like to hear what Mac users of the Fediverse use. I've seen a lot of apps get mentioned, but some I think are very old, so I'm not sure how they hold up in 2024.

Thanks for responding!

(yes I'm just trying my luck, but who knows if anyone can/will respond?)

Uncle Kracker - Follow me. I used to sing the shit out of it, because I just liked the tune. Until I learn there was a whole different meaning than just "I'm the better guy" lyrics.

I still humm it, but it hits differently.

Interesting. This actually puts into question why certain subs does not have countries assigned. Like news should be news, not a one country spesific news.

Non American here, but we've seen how things unfolded when something parallel-ly similar happened. I think its time for Americans to see that just like any other nations that their leaders talk about "we need to remove them because they're corrupt and they're impeachable in their own country". I think Americans on whatever ends need to realise that morals have bottomed out, and what they have is a legal system, not justice system.

Actually I had the impression that there are many Malaysians on Reddit. I guess I'm wrong! Haha

[–] spiritsong@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm surprised that there aren't as many Malaysians on the Ferdiverse yet.

I wish you the best of luck with your endeavours!
