Developer. Feminist. Ecologist. Used to be a protection Paladin.
I switched to Shapr3d a few years ago, but I follow the work of the FreeCAD team with great interest.
IMHO, I think Autodesk should provide a free/limited version of Fusion360 for the people who only want to design and 3D print small pieces
There’s a great Museum of Inquisition in Carcassonne.
It demonstrates with infinite detail the limitless imagination of medieval Christianity in bringing literal Hell on Earth. Mortifying
So Lee Hazelwood cut off his moustache ?
As I said, I am new and very bad at it.
Removing the Star Trek reference gave totally unrelated results.
I’ll try to improve it but I can’t promise it will be any better
I’m very new to the subject, but I used the prompt A photography of a BORG vilain from the Star Trek movie standing in front of a Canadian flag, wearing flannel clothes. Highly realistic and got this :
And this for some reason :
Moi aussi. Génial. J’adore.
It’s crazy how the small things make the whole thing with Apple stuff.
My company recently switched from a 90% PC to a full Mac equipment (about 100 people) and it kind of annoys me that most of people still want a mouse, and rage because “it’s not like Windows see?”
Fuck, I cannot see the point of switching without a proper training.
But hey, Macs are just overpriced PC without viruses and stuff right? Why can’t I run my cracked Photoshop.exe on Mac then huh? Why everything looks like my very open source not at all copy pasted OS but better because you know I love to spend hours tweaking my GUI?
Anyway, you know.
Regarding the reasons why you like your iPhone, I can guarantee you would love macOS.
Strangely enough to me, the thing that clicks the most for switchers is the ability to send text messages from the Mac, but the one that clicked for me back in 2007 when I was still an Apple hater was Preview. Select any file and hit the spacebar and you’ll get a window displaying its content instantly.
Another thing was the real plug and play. Not a single fucking driver to install, everything just works. For instance, I bought an external sound unit to plug my guitar to my PC in 1998. Two years later the company goes out of business and my hardware misses compatibility with Windows 2000, so it’s s basically bricked. When I installed OSX Leopard on my Dell PC in 2007 I plugged it and it worked seamlessly (Real Time Audio kernel is craaaaaazy stuff too on Apple gear if you are a musician)
And there are tons of fine-tuned features like this.
Anyway, I couldn’t recommend you more to test macOS.
I got the Public Beta 1 on iPhone, Mac and Apple Watch
On macOS Sonoma, there are still some visual bugs, and I had issues with shadows in the game Cliff Empire on my M2 Max. Otherwise Game Porting Toolkit is dope.
There’s a bug on iOS 17 when I try to reply directly to a message, but otherwise nothing to report.
WatchOS 10 is a game changer for me. The new UX is really good, and I didn’t notice any bug
This is weird. I got 3300 on my 14 GPU core M1 Pro. You should get near 7000. Did you notice any stutter, especially with the playing card signs?
I guess you got the last version of Ventura 13.4.1 ?
That’s very nice of you, thank you. Unfortunately I already have an M1 Pro and my goal here is to get the results on a Max model to be sure of what I should except.
Thank you very much anyway!
I use this app since I switched in 2008. This is an absolute must have.
I use the Safari extension Vinegar, which is paid but universal from macOS to iOS. It replaces the YouTube player by the default HTML5 one, preventing Google from getting events that trigger ads.
Alright…
I share two lists in Reminders with my wife for groceries and things we could do.
My main everything To Do app is OmniFocus, because it’s the only app I found that gives me a Deferred option. The idea is to be able to add a task and forget about for it for the time need.
I follow the GTD method and because I use OF to organise all of my projects, I have tons of ToDos and it can be really overwhelming. I used to procrastinate a lot because I hadn’t a good view of what I could achieve. So it goes like this :
OmniFocus has some Views. The one I use are Projects, Contexts (or Tags) and Flagged.
You could argue that setting an alarm on a task would basically do the same thing. But the whole point is to decide when I should begin to start doing stuff. Alarms are stressful. I don’t need an alarm for a task like “Clean the cat litter” or “Get the trash out”. I just need not to forget, because I usually forget those things.
There are a lot of other things I do with OmniFocus, but this comment is long enough already.
I share some Notes too with my wife, but I use Notes mainly for very quick draft. I’ll go with IA Writer for longer text, and with Day One for my diary.
No one play video games on Mac!

I was really thinking that EyeSight would be the first thing to be touchbarred but it looks like I might be wrong.
Anyway, we got plenty of time before the headset’s release. Original iPhone was announced at $1000 but rapidly saw its price go down to $500. Let’s hope for the best
Apple could start by stopping taking Europeans for fools and claiming that the DMA prevents them from publishing Apple Intelligence in Europe.
I’ve been an happy Apple exclusive customer since 2008. But if they play it that way I won’t follow. I give them one year to put their shit together. After that I’m done with the brand.
Long live Europe
