It's 2026 and two articles on the front page are about really stupid MacOS UI issues. I'm in the wrong branch of reality. -_-
Ah but if you're used to Xfce's (non-configurable) 1px resize regions, these are downright trivial to hit!
The other side of that coin is that I would bet a motivated developer could recompile Xfce to fix that, whereas https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions?q=cocoa&type=all&language=&sort= is still "nope". I'm aware that GNUstep kind of hints at it but I would guess they're in the ReactOS situation of chasing a monster company with a vastly different resourcing

Why can't a motivated developer patch that thing to be fixed for everybody?
I still remain somewhat shocked that for however well of a laptop experience MacBooks are, a lot just completely and utterly fails if you connect them to an external display/docking station.
Mainly because of the window management.
The most advanced operating system in the world and it can’t remember where I put my f’ing windows. It’s infuriating and unfixable.
It’s mind blowing to me that they’ve been a popular corporate dev workstation os for such a long time and still don’t have anything more than a cheap excuse for a tiling wm

I mean the main reason I switched from Linux to OS X is because with a Macbook you can attach an external display without going through days of configuration hell. Anything change on that front?
Am I going crazy? I'm having difficulty understanding how the 26.2 image shows that the resize zone tracks the border instead of being rectangular zones (or, for that matter, practically differs from 26.3).
Right-click and press play. It took me a minute as well. It's not an image, but an autoplaying video with no controls, and no fallback if you block those.
