lol the textmate guy is crazy

wow airmail is pretty dope

it looks a bit ios5

jumping from 10.6 to 10.9 I didn't know about the reverse scroll thing. immediately installed Scroll Reverser (naturally) to fix it, but ugh, it's stupid that you can't even change that in default settings without plugging in an apple mouse (i gave mine away years ago)

you shouldn't need a 3rd party app for that on 10.9, there should be a setting in the trackpad preference pane that says "use natural scrolling direction" or something. uncheck that

i have no trackpad or Apple brand mouse (on iMac) so the option doesn't even appear, it's stupid

What's going on w/ scrolling?

textmate guy should probably release textmate 2.0 or just point everyone to sublime text

after 10.6 they reversed the scrolling mechanism - i.e. wheel down pushes the page content up, wheel up pushes content down - to replicate iOS finger dragging. makes sense with the Trackpad but for mouse wheel it's bizarre

it's like those savages that use invert y-axis in FPS games

the option appears for me and i'm not using an apple mouse

what's your 'mouse' section of the pref pane say

Oh - that's how I like it. When I bought a Mac I changed that shit ASAP.

I'm def pretty happy with AirMail, mainly because I'm so hitched to gmail. I think it's faster than Mail and for $2, I can forgive the UI. Not like a have a choice given that Apple fucking BROKE Mail w/gmail.

AirMail is the one that looks a lot like Sparrow but has multiple windows for some reason, right?

my gmail in apple mail in MAVERICKS seems fine, no idea what the problem is supposed to be, but maybe that's just because I'm a MAVERICK

no restarts since the third one thk fk

calling it. best OS yet

AirMail reminds me of Sparrow. Doesn't have multiple windows but has multiple panes. Maybe you can option-break them off into individual windows but I never would do that.

Other than Apple fucking BREAKING Mail on me, Mavericks seems solid as hell.

yeah idk what everyone's talking about.. gmail with Mail is one of the few things that didn't break for me on maverix

everyone is just going for it and installing a .0 release, huh

life is for living, lukas

I'm kind of surprised people still use desktop applications for mail.

I suppose some people need offline access.

I've used mailplane since the beginning. It's basically a fancified SSB, so not a full app thought it has some offline abilities, it's not synching or downloading everything, it just give you your own gmail browser with a bunch of improved features, menubar alert, resizing attachments, random stuff like that. Mostly I like to just have email open in a window that's not dependent on my browser.

webmail sucks

gmail web interface is the epitome of "good enough"

I still prefer it to most other web email interfaces, though. God, there are some awful ones.

Yeah I just keep gmail open all day.

I'm safe, because I make sure that nothing I use my computer for is remotely important.

gmail's web interface is rage inducing. Horrible UI/UX.

subtle INBOX ZERO brag

so many subtle brags in that screnshot

do u like that my computer is named after a typeface? i call my computers typefaces and my hard drives american presidents. who will play board games with me?

u sound fun at parties

the only nerdy typeface i know is FIXEDSYS

my hard drives are named after humanities people... was with great regret that i reformatted roland barthes earlier this year.

ha i should call my new computer fixedsys

(thanks to american taxpayers for my new computer btw)

mine are named for right-wing politicians

jördhaider320 still going strong

Siracusa: "The turning point came in Mac OS X 10.4, which added support for arbitrarily extensible file system metadata. No longer were we confined to just a file name, a few dates, and some permissions and ownership information. Now we could attach any information to a file by adding arbitrary name/value pairs."

I must have read about this at the time, but it's news to me. Hasn't exactly set the world on fire I guess.

I still remember where I was when that happened.

see even os x added avatars before ilx

i've seen things you people wouldn't believe. arbitrarily extensible file system metadata added to hierarchical file systems. i watched avatars glitter in sub-retina resolution on thunderbolt displays. all those... moments... will be lost in time... like tears in the rain. time... to die.

lol this thread got super interesting in the wink of an eye

loud embarrassing snort-laugh accomplished, thanks dayo

my favorite was the iteration of ms exchange with a webmail interface that wouldn't work properly in internet explorer

what's the opposite of eating yr own dog food

That is so Microsoft

Their current Team Foundation Server web dashboard definitely works better in other browsers than IE

I have a weird bug w/tweetbot where it's hidden off the screen somewhere ungrabbable & it persists even when closed and reopened

how do I fix it

I get that too.

If you hold down the option key, and go to the File menu you can choose "Quit and close all windows". Then restart and it should be fixed fit for the time being.
