That's fair, I think Mac's extremely opinionated design that be grating at times. Also, heaven help you if you want to do something non-standard on a Mac, the system fights you every step of the way.

Stability and UI/UX are still lightyears ahead in Mac, and to some extent Windows. Don't get me wrong, they suck for lots of reasons, but I think Linux has a lot of catching up to do to be as usable as Mac/Windows for the ordinary user.
I think standardizing package formats, and more mature desktop managers and proprietary drivers will go a long way to fixing that though.
What's your review of LMDE over Debian? I recently took the Linux desktop jump recently and started with Linux Mint.
I really didn't like the Mint desktop as it seemed very dated, so I've switched to Debian/KDE. It was only much later that I realized how easy it would have been to just customize my window manager instead of getting a different distro. Having said that, I'm really digging Debian in spite of Nvidia issues being a headache, and Debian's glacial update pace making me look longingly at Arch.
I hope this gets into Debian backports soon! I still have some weird issues with a blank screen (no UEFI/POST/grub display) owith Debian on first boot that hasn't gone away even with the Nvidia 525.x proprietary drivers.

But was $application.old_final the one to rollback to, or $application.old-final2?!
Sure, grandpa/grandma, time for your medicine.
Not to mention the benefits of versioning and being able to rollback! There's something so satisfying about a well set-up CI/CD pipeline.
Don't shoot the meow 🙀
Is that Wonderwall?
Yeah, I think this plus the desktop app might be a huge deal
I see a lot of posts like this where the title is truncated. Clicking on the title in an app/browser just seems to take you to the link, so I have no idea what the full title actually says.
This appears to be a bug, unless I'm missing something?
Some links don't seem to open within the internal WebView, and only work when opened with the external browser. This seems to happen to all hacker news links.
Not sure if this is a bug, or if the feature is working correctly, but blocking the instance on the shown post blocks mastodon.uno instead of feddit.it which is what I would expect.
It would be helpful if the block options in the menu showed the name of what they were going to block, as I've often accidentally blocked the user's instance instead of the community's instance in a post. It's difficult to know at a glance what the different parts of a post's categories are (user@instance/community@instance, etc).
Also, blocking an instance means comments from users of that instance are blocked too, which is not desirable. I think the point of blocking an instance is only to block posts from communities on that instance.
Thanks!
Connect seems to be linking to the wrong thread in a crosspost like in the linked thread. It's pointing to "What Ever Happened To Victoria’s Secret Karen??" instead of the Watch party group.
they’re replacing “Lemmy.world/c/965504” with “Lemmy.ca/c/965504”, which is a totally different post, despite sharing the same number.
Each post is only valid within its own server.
It seems like we can't leave a comment on some posts which require a language to be selected. I'm not sure if this is a community setting or something.
I can't select a language while posting, so the comment doesn't go through .
Some posts seem to not load a preview, and clicking on them shows doesn't load their content in the internal WebView:
Opening in the external browser loads them correctly. Here's an example of an affected post: https://lemmy.ca/post/1137443
I'm not sure, but I think this is theImgur redirect breaking things. Would it be possible to handle this more gracefully?
Edit: fixed example link
The profile seems to be missing my submitted posts? Latest Connect version.
Thanks!
Edit: seems to be an issue with the API, not Connect, but leaving this post here for visibility
/c/all is now predictably cluttered with porn from the lemmynsfw instance. Can we get a block instance option in the instance page, instead of having to block each individual instance?
As a related request, would you be open to a feature like a "blocked share list" that somebody can import? You could use it to maintain and share a list of onlyfans accounts if you don't want to see them, for instance.
Thanks for all your work!
Text links to external sites are a bit bare right now. It would be great if we could dhow a short snippet of the content or some sort of preview for links to know more before clicking on them. I'm not sure if this can be done without an additional request?
Thanks!
It would be awesome if you could change feeds from All/Local/Subscribed in the title bar, as well as navigate to or search your subscribed communities as well, similarly to how some Reddit apps had it.
Thanks!
I think Linux still prioritizes the command-line for a lot of config/setup, which can be extremely daunting for new users. In addition, there are also a million options for everything, which is great for freedom, but really confusing for newbies.
I should note that both of these things are amazing pluses for me as a power user/developer.
