Only for the work profile feature Android is absolutely worth it. With iOS you are forced to either carry two phones or give access to your company to your personal phone.

Google assistant is way superior to Siri, I use it all the time to add stuff to a groceries list or to ask random questions in my native language: 0 problems. With Siri this is just not possible.

And finally: my Pixel 7 costs half of an iPhone and the experience is flawless! I'm getting Nexus 5 vibes with this phone. They really nailed it this time.


I still have to meet anybody that is not at a minimum annoyed by the macos animations.

I literally stopped using the spaces feature because of that!. The default animation got me dizzy all the time, but even with that one disabled via accessibility settings they keep a terribly slow fading animation.

It's absolutely ridiculous for a professional machine to impose these things on you.


Those animations are there to help people maintain a spacial understanding of their GUI.

Most people are not highly technical power users who get annoyed by the small delays, this is a bias I see a lot on HN.

I do agree that their accessibility options should allow for more customization of animations, though. I use ‘magnet’ for window control and it’s instant. Highly recommend. Just wish switching between desktops could be made instant too.


It can be... if you disable SIP.

Yabai has many of these fixes that exists, even if you don't use the auto tiling features[1].

I'm absolutely fine with them. I use Spaces all the time - mostly by hitting f3 and clicking on the screen thumbnail at the top, rather than control-arrowing or control-number.

HN has a lot of hate for these animations but I don't think I've ever seen anyone bitching about them elsewhere.


> HN has a lot of hate for these animations but I don't think I've ever seen anyone bitching about them elsewhere.

Because MacOS (and iOS) are the only major OSes that don't let you disable them.


Yeah, I’ve never had issues with the animations. And, additionally, I’ve always found that the animations make a UI feel finished by making state changes more apparent.


I feel the same way. I would much prefer no animation at all, and an instant transition between spaces.

Apparently this is possible with yabai (https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai), but it requires disabling system integrity protection which I am personally uncomfortable with.


The Time Machine one is amazing. I go there by accident sometimes, usually when trying to work out why it isn’t working (this is a whole other issue) and it’s ludicrous.


macOS is designed for mainstream users, not power users who want an efficient workflow with minimum distractions.

This is why I stopped complaining about macOS and just use Linux.


Only if you're very lucky with Linux, or your definition of distraction does not include hours spent on fixing sleep and hibernation, finding the right input method among several that keep getting deprecated, fixing pixel scaling with multiple monitors, and other fun stuff.

I still have a Linux Desktop that I boot up from time to time, but I've pretty much given up at this point. My time is more valuable than that.


I've never had a serious issue with Pop OS on both a desktop and a Thinkpad.

Linux does have some issues (GNOME has some pretty noticeable UI issues) but overall I'm much happier with it than I ever was with macOS.


> I still have a Linux Desktop that I boot up from time to time

And by that you obviously mean you haven't booted it up in the past 15 years, judging from what your complaints are.


I’m a power user who wants minimal distractions… OSX provides that just fine, my workflow is nearly identical between OSX and Linux because it’s just a full screen terminal.


Glad it works for you.


Same here. I don't use spaces because I can't stand the animations, and they can't be turned off.


They has enough with the groundbreaking announcement on wwdc of widgets in the desktop and Chrome... Sorry, "Web apps".

Maybe in 2025


They are not taking the farms from them, they are buying them.

Agro-industry in the Netherlands is unsustainable and all the parties involved know it. Whatever they say, what we're watching here is just the buyout negotiations.


Buying them, while preventing they start over elsewhere. And also, all savings in emissions are used to expand emissions in other industries. That doesn’t sound fair, and isn’t.


First of all your claim that all savings in emissions are used to expand emissions in other industries needs a reference, but even if this claim were true, one could easily argue that more people on the Netherlands would benefit (for example) from affordable housing, than from exporting powdered milk or greenhouse tomatoes

Also, farmers don’t have to disappear for more housing. It seems the government does a great job pitting a lot of its citizens against farmers by lying that they are holding back new housing development, while the real issue is a lack of builders, too stringent guidelines and a lack of building materials.
