yeah the first catalina boot experience is not great. tons of apple things asking for permission or consent at the same time.

not sure it will get better in version .1 they didnt even have a hard public deadline for this one

a fun bug: if you have two icloud accounts it will ask you on start-up to accept the icloud terms and conditions twice but it will only work for the one account you logged on to. if you retry the second item it will keep failing with a generic error. the way to clear the nagging badge for system preferences is to go to the internet accounts panel and pick your secondary icloud account there. you dont need to log on to it

this is frustrating all sorts of apps that do indexing with repeated requests for folders instead of just asking for drive access. for example i still use quicksilver, which is all sorts of confused by the update

photoanalysisd is going bonkers reindexing my photo library of course, mixed with several apps needing to be rechecked for integrity for no reason

the flip is the win 10 1903 update made my desktop reset repeatedly due to a dll that it refused to tell me was stopping the update, so every os is dumb about updates and i hate them

catalina’s app store has my purchase history blank. fantastic. good thing i didn’t rely on it for much beyond pixelmator and baldur’s gate 2 ee

it fucks me off that pixelmator forked their app and asked everyone to buy it all over again

I own the original fork but am to cheap to buy pixelmator pro

they all seemingly cost the same exact amount of money so just use the one that has the best integration with your preferred operating system. what the gently caress is the point of being tribal about cloud file storage lol

dropbox hosed me off by suddnely realising they need to make money somehow and limiting their free tier to syncing to a max of 3 devices

that's kind of the gag, isn't it

the newest ios update could require you to lick a goatse butthole on the screen to unlock and it would still be better than dealing with a phone os controlled by an advertising company

apple can gently caress everything up, endlessly, and it will still probably be the better solution. it will just make us all sad an angry while we retain what little remains of our privacy

really what we should have been mad about at the time was how many apps want admin access they shouldn't need

'wait until .1' is enduring advice for a reason

and apple even managed to gently caress this up since the first point release will now be rushed out and, like ios, will be full of bugs too, so now it's .2 at the earliest

the best file syncing solution at the moment is using Transmit as a front-end to auto-sync folders to OneDrive.

on a local network the best file transfer solution is netcat with friends. you get to have fun choosing which port you're going to use and it doesn't get more private than that

I looked at setting up sync thing between my macs and using Dropbox/WLAN Server just for my 1Pass to my phone but it quickly felt too much like janitoring so now I just periodically sync my personal laptop manually

why not just pay for the sync service and never janitor anything ever? it’s real good and I can share logins with other people in my family and it loving owns. u dont need some rube goldberg poo poo that relies on dropbox not turning into a social media company

it doesn't look like a thumb can reach all parts of the screen without doing the little phone shimmy and it's also tall enough that it might stick out of a shallow pocket

since mojave they've required additional steps via system preferences/accessibility to enable remote view and remote interaction, for security. the upshot being, no more remote support for people who have trouble figuring out how to use the mouse, let alone follow multi-step instructions

on mojave it worked. right now i can connect to a catalina instance as well, but i don’t see anything under the menu bar. i couldn’t be arsed to repro that on my mbp and ascertain if it’s software or os problem, so i just skyped download link to what they wanted to have
