There is a common way to go back (swipe from the left edge of the screen). Some apps just don't integrate well and ignore the platform patterns.

I believe swiping from left to right is common for both Android and iOS.

Android has both a swipe gesture or a widget that simulates buttons that used to be at the bottom of the screen

...and iOS has both an arrow at the top left and a swipe gesture. I can't see how they are that different.

Renders equally weird for me on Firefox on Windows 11. Firefox on MacOS looks good though.

Edit: Seems like mix-blend-mode: plus-lighter is bugged in Firefox on Windows https://jsfiddle.net/bjg24hk9/

Probably hasn't been thought through, but if it prevents automatic updates from being rolled out to users in the USA, then that's probably good enough for them.

But you can run your own kernel on Macs, no? Isn‘t driver support the issue?

Maybe Apple Hardware would write Linux drivers to sell their hardware for servers. Intel contributes to Linux kernel. AMD contributes to Linux kernel. Nvidia contributes to Linux kernel. A lot of hardware manufacturers support Linux to some extent. It's no longer reverse-engineered wild west.

Driver support is pretty hard when nothing is documented and security features limit reverse engineering. Hardware companies either document their hardware properly, or they write drivers for third party operating systems, or both.

Not on new silicon and asahi linux is still pretty damn far from being able to use it seriously. I do appreciate the effort, but I am just saying that it would be a lot better if you know, apple sold the hardware so vendors could build laptops with apple silicon.

Apple literally made step by step instructions for compiling and running your own kernel on Apple silicon. Not sure how you think asahi Linux works otherwise. Sure the drivers are anywhere from bad to non existent but that’s not the same thing as being unable to run your own kernel.

This is news to me, where can I find this? I was under the assumption that most of asahi linux was reverse engineered. It's the reason why they're also stuck on M3?

Edit: I can only find 3rd party resources. The only first party is for older macbooks (intel based)

Both are built on top of the Spotlight index.

Doesn't Raycast (and all the other popular alternatives) build on top of the Spotlight system?

> I needed to setup alarms for pills every 12 hours.

In case you didn’t know, there is a medication reminder built into Apple Health that might work better than an alarm.

Especially not if that browser currently ignores the biggest markets (Windows and mobile).

It's not a restriction of the computer. It's a restriction of the API they provide. You can simply use another solution and don't have that restriction.

A non-Apple solution (without these restrictions) could also be implemented on MacOS. I don't see why this makes using Linux computers more compelling. WKWebView is simply a convenient solution I guess but it could have also be implemented through CEF for example.

As I see it, if I was using a Linux computer I wouldn't have access to a terminal with such a feature at all.
