I love how on when you intend to move a bunch of files to a folder, and when one file with the same name already exists in the destination, you're only given the option to stop the entire thing, to replace the existing file, or move anyway under a different name. Not a single option that just... idk... skip moving that one (or however many affected) file maybe? The best thing is, that stop option, the dialog that asks you gives you a checkmark option to "Apply to all" (unchecked by default) - bcos of this, a user unfamiliar with 's brilliance might assume that "stop" simply means "skip" commonly found on other OS-es including and for file operations such as moving/copying, 'cept not, "stop" literally just stops doing anything.

Oh, also, you can't even enjoy what you have found to be so common such as doing a shift-click selection on Finder... unless you happen to be in the right "view" mode. That simple thing couldn't even just... work. I honestly can go on and on about how slow that piece of shit is at performing searches or copying/moving files, or how modifying all the ridiculous preferences take forever bcos they hide in multiple, nonsensical places when on for example, you get one nice menu with sensible tabs and options where you could do wtv needs doing in ~1 minute. Heck, even setting the default app to be used to open a certain file type requires a hidden shortcut that then opens up a stupid looking window at the edge of your screen with tiny af buttons and GOSH I CAN GO ON FOREVER.

Fuck Finder, honestly. I'd take that ugly ass anyday of the week if it means I don't have to deal with Finder. Thank god I'm a Linux user, blessed with 's Dolphin. I'm almost certain only hires interns for anything software over there.

Update: Found a fix! Just use the terminal <3

As I'm setting up my new Mac, I realise I'm missing a lot of my fav apps that I didn't even know I relied on quite a bit - things like or even as basic as . Heck even using was ridiculously miserable since while it doesn't look much different than , it's at least 10x more inferior in EVERY way.

KDE has always insisted on making their apps available across platforms (besides just ) in order to promote their visibility to non-Linux users, and that strategy definitely works bcos that's how I ended up using something like and part of why I made the switch (to Linux), but unfortunately that "universal" compatibility never seems to include . Fair enough though, as shitty as is, that's where people are.

Dolphin Disc ~ c. 500 BCE

This disc is thought to be a sacrificial or votive offering. It is about the size of a discus but the impressive etched dolphin suggests a purpose that may have been beyond sport.
