I HATE APPLE

I think I have a very similar problem to yours. Will try this

lol terminal does not play well with mojave dark mode

OS 12 is good and I hate Apple slightly less right now

that said, I now get this frequent annoying error message telling me a calendar item response did not send, and I can't get rid of it

that happened to me once but i can't remember how i dealt w/it. sorry :(

Damn. This is the first time in my life I can recall a new Mac OS not running on my hardware. I have a Mac Mini from 2011 that runs like greased lightning (16GB RAM + SSD) and Mojave isn't supported. I was looking forward to Dark Mode..

really?? you have been a very faithful upgrade then

this guy says that UI animations (like clicking on a checkbox) have been dropped from high sierra to mojave, which seems to be true (maybe because it was too much hassle to replicate them under light mode / dark mode and with all new color accents?). but i liked those!!

fucking subpixel anti-aliasing removed, WTF

Got a new iphone, but my backup is encrypted and I can't remember the password, and even the password in my MacBook keychain is somehow not working. Had to buy their stupid iCloud storage plan and now it's taking hours and hours to back up.

I assume this is apple saying by a Retina Mac

It is - some bullshit statement from a developer about having to carry the screen pixel geometry up through multiple layers of abstraction being unworkable - except if you use a terminal command it’s right there still, for about 70% of text rendering.

No more model for sale with a headphone jack, so I guess the 6s is my last iphone, unless I decide it's worth it to spring for a nice lightning DAC and to deal with the bulk (their adapter sucks).

Mojave is the most useless OS update yet.

dark mode is idiotic. who likes this shit? turned that off right away.

urgh having a nightmare with Photos on iOS 12 - the picture library appearing in my Photo app now seem frozen - new shots taken will not be saved to the photo library and I can't delete any older pictures

I don’t understand people’s fascination with dark mode either. It always looks worse to me, less readable.

i dunno i like having a break from ALL THE LIGHTS but it's not consistent right now and there are some things like i dunno browser windows that are constantly full of non-darkened content

huh, maybe this was happening when i was running high sierra but i didn't notice it until mojave

what's the point of the key repeat rate and delay preferences if they are made to only apply to space, arrow, return keys etc?

Well space and return are often held down to control where text appears in e.g. a text document. And arrow keys make sense to keep going if you hold them down, whereas I can imagine that more people would like easy access to ü than wish to type uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu on the regular.

To be fair most of the people who type ü on the reg are using a keyboard layout that allows them to type it more quickly than holding the key down.

it breaks the USER EXPERIENCE of using a keyboard, for which keypress = type, key hold = tttttttttttttttttt, uh except for the modifier keys and

it seems punctuation still repeats, tho (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

look i just wanna be able to type a lotta letters in a row really fast a lot of the time okkkkkkk

ök

I never knew I needed dark mode until I was working in the studio.

Useful article on how to toggle it via keyboard: https://appleinsider.com/articles/18/06/14/how-to-toggle-dark-mode-with-a-keyboard-shortcut-or-the-touch-bar

Love dark mode and it should only get better.

xxp well I suppose the real answer is convergence of the macOS and iOS UIs.

i am not like ú

i have REAL KEYS

i am in touch with my physicality

i am an embodied computer user with a connection to the wørld

elvis, it seems that solution doesn't quite work as-is on the full mojave release (i notice the names of the categories in automator hadn't caught up to 'quick actions' yet). the automator script needs to be added to accessibility to access 'system events'. but apparently giving it a global key shortcut is not enough to make the script executions truly global? because it behaves differently from within an accessibility-authorized app (i added the finder) and a non-authorized one (say, safari), from which it's forced to beg for separate access to 'system events'.

hm.

aha https://latenightsw.com/mojave-brings-in-big-security-changes/

still haven't upgrade because i fear APFS. is it all settled and good now?

If you have High Sierra and an SSD, you're already on it. Zero issues for me. However the almighty Disk Warrior doesn't speak APFS yet.

i never upgraded from sierra

i did sierra -> mojave last night. omnifocus required it and i haven't heard much for a while. i do wish they tested their software though.

i downloaded 2 days ago and it froze at 80% progress for 12 hours. Spend 5 hours at the apple store yesterday and had to wipe my drive and start clean... other than that it's nice enough so far.

plz let us know how the sierra -> mojave ends up working out for you. I'm still on sierra and had pretty much intended to stay until my hardware dies

No problem w mojave yet on my 2015 mbp

sierra->mojave is fine for me so far fwiw. i've been doing some pretty wacky unixy stuff so far this morning without problems, which has been a problem on previous upgrades.

the upgrade was smoothish. about half way through i got a message saying my disk could not be repaired and that the install would roll back to sierra. which seemed ominous. but it rebooted and then the installation continued fine. so i guess the error was a false alarm?

i was only running high sierra for a month or so when i upgraded and everything is basically fine so the most noticeable change is that they seem to have knocked all the UI polish off their mature release and things are a little more hinky, which is not ideal

but maybe it will improve with minor updates so i can bask in it

I like dark mode idk

I want dark mode for preview tho

Dark mode makes sense for writing code, when you need the ability to distinguish text in lots of different colors. In every other context it's masturbatory, imo

you got a problem w/ masturbation???

lol last year or so I decided I had had it with black terminal backgrounds and colorful syntax highlighting. Now I have a light background and a shades-of-grey color scheme.

yeah it’s nice for writing in latex and I like to work in the dark so it’s nice on my eyes

i'm running mojave on a 2014 macbook pro retina and it's fine. useless update IMO, but fine.

I like bright white. Always and 4ever.

i don't (and can't) have mojave but i love dark schemes, so much easier for my eyeballs

I switched to dark mode on twitter and zing about two years ago and can’t imagine going back so yeah sucks my MacBook is too old for dark mode os-wide

I bought a new phone - it's running 12.0. My old phone is running 12.0.1. What a complete clusterfuck of a switch over. Everything seems great until it isn't.

what went wrong? i'm due to do this in a few days

Elvis All you have to do is choose to restore an iCloud backup and iOS will download the update and then restore the backup

Or set it up as a new phone, update, then restore
