Yeah, that’s odd. As long as an app is in fullscreen you should be able to drag it from screen to screen when Mission Control is active.
As for the double click; Finder will only maximise the height without changing its width, but all the other apps I tried filled the desktop.

I don’t know why people would gripe. There’s a bunch of different ways to resize windows in macOS. You can fullscreen them into their own virtual desktop, and sure, unless you drag another app alongside then no, that’s not compatible with other windows at the same time. Personally, I use fullscreen for apps that I don’t need to interact, or that I want to have full focus on. iTunes/Music for example, is kept to the far right of the spaces on my right hand monitor. I know where it is and it’s easy to access without taking up space on the desktop.
But you can also make them fill the regular desktop by double clicking the bar at the top of the window. Or you can drag windows to various sides of the screen to resize them, the same way you can with Linux and Windows.
And yeah, there’s Stage Manager too, but honestly, I’ve never really seen the point. Not on a Mac anyway.

I’ve used apps in fullscreen for as long as it’s been possible, and I’ve honestly never found it confusing at all.
You can move them across displays. Just open Mission Control then drag it from one screen to another. Or drag it to a desktop if you want.
As for maximising; just double click the bar at the top of the window. No extra software needed.
Now that macOS supports window tiling there’s a number of ways to lay out app windows. Fuck Stage Manager though. I’ve never been able to work out the point of it.

Unless I misunderstand, you’ve been able to do that since around 2011.

- Comment on Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years 1 week ago:
I’ll test Linux on a Mac this afternoon and see how it goes, but I’m optimistic it will just work also.
I have Mint running on 2011 and 2014 Mac minis. It’s basically flawless. The only trouble you might have is finding the wifi driver, depending on which model you’re using. Iirc, the minis were fine, but the 2011 MacBook Pro I put it on was a little more difficult to track down. But ethernet worked right out of the box, so it wasn’t a huge deal.
Linux on Apple Silicon is a trickier proposition, but getting less tricky all the time.

I got an LG OLED a few weeks ago. Hands down the best TV screen I’ve ever owned.
Fuck knows what the stock OS does because I’ve only watched Apple TV through it.

Yeah, I’m in the process of shifting all of my workflows over to Linux/Android from all-Apple, but my Macs are a huge sticking point. My main computer is an M2 Macbook Air, which is ridiculously quick. I’m basically just waiting for Asahi to gain display port over USB, at which point I’ll ditch macOS. But until then…

We’ve got one of those ones that attaches to a regular toilet, and I gotta say that it’s fucking wonderful.
However. The water pressure in our house can be kinda weird. Mostly it’s normal, but sometimes it’s like a jet washer for a few seconds. And those few seconds after you’ve first opened the bidet are like getting reamed out by a Karcher.

- Comment on Global foldable smartphone shipments increased by just 2.9% YoY in 2024, and shipments are expected to decline by about 4% YoY in 2025. 4 weeks ago:
Mr Mobile talked about this in his review of Oppo’s Find N5.
Essentially, while the product is great and folding phones are finding more utility, the price is still prohibitively high.
I upgraded to a Pixel 9 a few months ago because I specifically wanted to run GrapheneOS. I did considered a Pixel Fold, but really couldn’t justify the extra cost. Maybe next time though…

Is the original image art? Who’s to say.
But turn that image into a meme and it does become art. And that’s wonderful.

The last Marvel offering I saw in a cinema was Avengers: Endgame.
Literally nothing since then has looked like it offered anything different or better, so at most I’ve watched a couple on D+, or torrented them. I just don’t give a shit about any of that stuff any more.
The last Marvel thing I watched was Agatha All Along, which I only finished for the sake of completion. The moment we learned the identity of the kid, I pretty much stopped giving a shit, because at that point it just dropped into being yet another MCU property being used as promotional material for whatever they’ve got coming next.
I really enjoyed S01 or Andor, but I can’t be sure I’ll bother with S02 because I don’t trust them to keep it self-contained, basically requiring me to watch 3 other series so I can have some idea of what’s going on. They pulled that shit with S03 of The Mandalorian, so I never finished it.

- Comment on Enshittification 5 weeks ago:
You joke, but staring at the shitty LG LED TV I bought a year ago, I get mad at how much research we have to do these days just to make sure we get the best <PRODUCT> possible for the budget we have.
Not that long ago you could walk into a TV show room, pick the best one they had that you could afford and that was that. We’d have our brand preferences, but by and large we could buy a TV that would last us ten years.
Now, in order to stand a chance of getting five years out of a product we have to do weeks of research, scour a bunch of forums, mentally having to vet out replies that feel like they’re shill accounts. We have to become miniature experts in every field where we need to spend money, and it’s just fucking exhausting.
In my case, I was labouring under the belief that LG make really good TVs. Turns out they make really good OLED TVs, but their LED panels suck balls. So within nine months of buying this panel, the backlight has become patchy as shit, and now I’m having to go through the bullshit of returning it in order to get a better one.
