@fasterthanlime I’m unapologetic about being a Mac user after hundreds of subjective years recompiling kernels to get printers, sound cards, video cards, and power buttons to function. Never mind the sub-par ever changing UI tools that were perpetually at 80% complete at best. At some point I decided my time was worth more and I really just wanted to enjoy development again. Macs are not perfect, but they are really good.

@fasterthanlime Yeah, the whole concept of having a home lab or a windows machine at home just does not compute for me.

I don’t have time to care for and feed more machines than my MacBook(s) let alone the time to use them.

I just recently discovered Panic’s Transmit Also does S3 protocol and… whenever I absolutely have to use my windows computer and I need to do FTP I have to install like WinSCP, which is… barbaric?

There’s such a wealth of neat little apps for macOS (until Apple sherlocks them) you don’t really have on Windows. The Microsoft store has a few indie apps but.. with wildly inconsistent UI and super frustrating experience.

On macOS I recently discovered SuperWhisper, and MindMac, and Rectangle Pro, and they’re all so good! Such pleasant experiences.

@fasterthanlime Cyberduck has a Mac version which, lke, isnt as good as Transmit but at least it's not Filezilla/WinSCP lol

fasterthanlime OP , vor 13 Tagen

@Eramdam I used it a bunch and it was super unreliable with S3 stuff (also it looks like an old Win32 app 🙃)

@fasterthanlime ftp itself is kinda barbaric isn't it? 😅

fasterthanlime OP , vor 13 Tagen

@malwareminigun correct, but uh, seedboxes

@fasterthanlime I am familiar with the “throw money at it” range of solutions 😂

Mind you those M1/M2 MacBooks do look mighty nice.
