     >control-click
     Oh yeah, I forgot that most of macOS users don't know what RMB is.
     
     Also notice that the Google AI blerb mentions the "Clean up" functionality. Not aligning the icons how the user wants, but how the feature wants to align them with limited ways on how to change that.

     @mischievoustomato @prettygood There's less need for that when everything is a webapp. All the normie needs is a browser, a wordprocessor and maybe a spreadsheet editor. It's not unheard of to not even have a computer in a family.

     @prettygood @eemmaa this happens randomly, and it's clearly a bug
     you can reset desktop view settings which can fix it, but that's just shit
     it's really irritating because back in MacOS 7/8/9 days, this behavior was astonishingly good
     it would remember positions on multiple monitors; if you unplugged a monitor and later reattached it, it would put the folders back where they were
     i think apple is trying to push people to stop using the desktop as a place to organize things, e.g. you have to turn a setting on to have your hard drive show up on the desktop
     yo Tim Apple, stop trying to make MacOS into iOS you colossal faggot

     @nyanide @eemmaa @JoshuaSlocum @prettygood idk, @sun said himself that macOS does multimonitor stuff stellarly. I just resign to sigh and curse how stuff works for some well, and terribly for others

     @mischievoustomato @nyanide @eemmaa @JoshuaSlocum @sun @prettygood multi-monitor is good on macOS which isn't a big achievement even when compared to Windows. The key to having a reasonably comfy Apple experience is to change as little config options as possible. When you try to make the device work the way you want and not the way Apple intends, the façade quickly crumbles.
     
     That said, some settings have to be changed, because the default state makes no sense. Like the image format for example, because almost nothing can display HEIF in $current_year.

     @phnt @nyanide @eemmaa @JoshuaSlocum @prettygood @mischievoustomato I consdider the way apple does it to be "great", it does exactly what I intuitively expect.
