i mean it's kind of useless to me to be able to reveal the desktop now since i have gone from having 4000 files on my desktop to having zero, but still, good to know it's there, so empty and clean

i use the launcher gesture all the time. it still gives me a little minority report thrill.

i have the bottom right corner set up as show desktop. the corner hotspots are great because they work while you're dragging a file (unlike gestures). i use it a lot to drag files from browsers, etc. to the desktop without needing to hide windows.

You mean you don't always have a .5cm square of desktop on, err, which corner is it today, that you drag things to??
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Friday, 16 November 2018 16:26 (five years ago) link
ha!
you have to sort by date modified on desktop imo. then the most recent nonsense is always top right. and with that hot corner, bottom right shows the whole shitshow.

huh, interesting. i was viewing a pdf in preview, and outside of that i updated the underlying file and generated a new pdf for it, and preview automatically redrew the newest version. wouldn't have thought it would do that.

someone described Pro Office Calculator as the Frog Fractions of calculators. if that sentence is not gibberish to you, it may be worth playing around with

huh i guess the internet says it's been there since 10.0, which would mean i should have noticed it before 10.14. but i came up on system 7 and unix and got used a long time ago to prefixing the filenames i wanted to sort right with 0s

reeder is a feed reader, whereas instapeper aiui is still a bookmark/offline reader for articles you have already found and want to bookmark or read.
― Fizzles, Thursday, 14 March 2019 08:50 (five years ago) link

I stopped using instapaper for Pocket after instapaper stopped working well. Pocket is way better.
I use reeder on my phone but find Feedbin so good that I just do all my feed reading via browser.
