    What are you doing with your other hand?

    While it is obviously not that difficult to have one hand on the

    that is trivial in other desktop environments like Windows, KDE, Gnome,
    XFCE or Cinnamon is needlessly unintuitive in MacOS.

    What you are running into is macOS gives you more choice and you are struggling with the added choices. Fair enough. Not all people can
    handle more choices.

    Sure, we can learn to just close with CTRL-Q the same way people could
    learn to double-click on the hyphen in Windows 3.1 to do the same
    thing, but it could be less annoying.


    Some of us like more choices.

    You like more choices yet you use Apple with their walled garden?
    Do you actually know ANYTHING useful about computers and operating
    systems?

    If you want choice, use Linux.

    P.S. So how long did it take until iPhone users could use an alternate
    browser as DEFAULT?
    Meaning click on a link and something like Chrome or Firefox would open
    the link instead of Safari.

    Apple makes excellent products but having more choices is not in their
    plans.
    Do it the Apple way or take the highway.
    Darn are you one stupid git snit.

    Nobody is forcing you to do that. There are other methods. Your challenge here is you do not like the fact macOS has MORE choices in window control than
    Linux or Windows (at least in this are). Choice is too much for you, at least here.

    If you want choice, use Linux.

    A lot of choice.

    But on the topic of window use, you are whining macOS gives an added choice.

    You can choose your icons, your cursors, your wallpaper

    Is there any common desktop OS you cannot?

    but you can also choose your distribution, the package your software
    comes in and a multitude of applications for the same purpose all of

    Most of those apps also work on Windows and macOS if you want. But you get a lot for FREE on Linux. And that is awesome.

    It is one easy operation that always works.

    How is that "needlessly annoying"?

    Because if your hand is on the mouse, you don't want to have to
    remove it to get onto the keyboard.


    So you only have one hand.

    Got it.

    A teacher I work with actually does only have one hand. What should
    he do?


    Look at where the "Command" keys are on the keyboard. Now look at how
    few key combinations using it couldn't be operated with one hand.

    You're clutching at straws to try to maintain that what is unfamiliar
    to you must be worse than what is familiar.

    I'm familiar with every commercial operating system that has been
    released since the late 80s and Linux. While Linux is the most
    complicated and Windows the most prone to corruption, MacOS is the one
    which makes simple things cumbersome and cumbersome things simple. I
    like most of them, but there is no doubt that MacOS is not perfect even though the thought of it gives you an erection the way Richard Stallman
    in a dress does Joel Crump.


    What simple thing does macOS make cumbersome.

    And remember that you not understanding a thing doesn't mean it's
    cumbersome.

    What you are running into is macOS gives you more choice and you are

    Sure, we can learn to just close with CTRL-Q the same way people could
    learn to double-click on the hyphen in Windows 3.1 to do the same
    thing, but it could be less annoying.


    Some of us like more choices.

    You like more choices yet you use Apple with their walled garden?
    Do you actually know ANYTHING useful about computers and operating
    systems?

    If you want choice, use Linux.

    P.S. So how long did it take until iPhone users could use an alternate browser as DEFAULT?
    Meaning click on a link and something like Chrome or Firefox would open
    the link instead of Safari.

    Apple makes excellent products but having more choices is not in their
    plans.
    Do it the Apple way or take the highway.
    Darn are you one stupid git snit.

    Apple's products ARE a choice, you nitwit.

    It is DIFFERENT, not any more awkward.


    That's like asking why MS puts the taskbar on the screen in Windows,

    We've already gone through this: closing a program entirely.
    Additionally, MacOS only recently got the ability to snap windows to the
    side or the corner. For the longest time, the process was a lot more cumbersome than it was in Windows or Linux.

    However, I don't even see the point of discussing it with you. Apple
    could force users to go through 50 clicks to get something done compared
    to two or three in Linux or Windows and you'd still defend it and mock
    anyone who doesn't appreciate it.

    the only way to quit an app.

    Do us all a favour and list them all.

    All? Not sure that would be reasonable... but here is a small subset:

    General Layout and Structure
    * Menu Bar
    * Windows: Apps usually have a menu bar inside each window (File, Edit,
    View, etc.).
    * Linux: Depends on the desktop environment (DE).
    - GNOME often uses header or hamburger menus instead of full menu bars.
    - KDE Plasma, MATE, and XFCE use more traditional menu bars like Windows.
    - Some (like old Ubuntu Unity) use a global menu bar similar to macOS.
    * Title Bar and Window Controls
    * Windows: Title bar includes the app name and buttons on the top-right
    (Minimize, Maximize/Restore, Close).
    * Linux: Button placement varies by DE. Some use the left side; others the right.
    GNOME often merges the title bar and toolbar into a single "header bar."
    * Taskbar / Dock
    * Windows: Has a taskbar with pinned icons, Start button, clock, and tray at bottom.
    * Linux:
    - GNOME uses a "Dash" and Activities overview instead of a full taskbar.
    - KDE Plasma, Cinnamon, XFCE mimic the Windows layout.
    - Panels are fully customizable in placement and behavior.

    Window Management
    * Resizing and Snapping
    * Windows: Drag to sides to snap to half-screen; corners for quadrants.
    * Linux: Most DEs (Plasma, GNOME, Cinnamon, etc.) support similar snapping.
    Some go further with tiling options (e.g., Pop!_OS, i3, Sway).
    * Keyboard Shortcuts
    * Windows:
    - Alt + Tab = switch windows
    - Win + D = show desktop
    - Win + E = open File Explorer
    - Win + L = lock screen
    * Linux (varies by DE):
    - Super key opens overview or launcher (GNOME).
    - Alt + Tab = switch apps; Alt + ` = cycle within same app.
    - Ctrl + Alt + T = open terminal.
    - Workspaces: Ctrl + Alt + Left/Right to change desktop.

    File Management
    * File Explorer
    * Windows: "File Explorer" has a ribbon UI and quick-access sidebar.
    * Linux:
    - GNOME Files (Nautilus), Dolphin (KDE), Thunar (XFCE), etc.
    - Common features: breadcrumbs, tabs/split view, and sidebar for
    locations.
    * File Paths
    * Windows: Drive letters (C:, D:) and backslashes ().
    * Linux: Single root (/) and forward slashes (/home/user).
    * Context Menus
    * Both OSes use right-click menus.
    * Linux menus are often extendable via add-ons ("Open in Terminal," etc.).

    System and Notifications
    * System Tray / Status Area
    * Windows: Bottom-right area for volume, network, clock, app icons.
    * Linux: Usually part of a panel; placement varies by DE.
    GNOME merges system icons into a single menu.
    * Notifications
    * Windows: Appears in the Action/Notification Center on the right.
    * Linux: DE-dependent, often top or bottom corner; GNOME integrates it with
    the calendar.

    Settings and System Preferences
    * Windows:
    * Uses the Settings app (modern) and Control Panel (legacy).
    * Offers dark/light modes and display scaling.
    * Linux:
    * Each DE has its own settings panel.
    * Highly customizable (themes, icons, fonts, window behavior, etc.).

    Application Installation and Management
    * Windows:
    * Software installed via .exe or .msi installers, or the Microsoft Store.
    * Startup and uninstall handled through Settings -> Apps.
    * Linux:
    * Uses package managers (apt, dnf, pacman) or graphical tools (GNOME Software, Discover).
    * Supports Flatpak, Snap, and AppImage for universal packages.

    User Interface Themes
    * Windows:
    * Mostly limited to accent color and dark/light mode without third-party tools.
    * Linux:
    * Fully themeable -- window borders, icons, cursors, fonts, etc.
    * GTK and Qt apps can look inconsistent if themed differently.

    Consistency and Design Languages
    * Windows: Uses Fluent Design (transparency, shadows, rounded corners).
    * Linux:
    * GNOME uses Adwaita (clean, minimal).
    * KDE Plasma uses Breeze (modern, consistent).
    * Other DEs vary widely; theming can change look and feel dramatically.

    It is one easy operation that always works.

    How is that "needlessly annoying"?

    Because if your hand is on the mouse, you don't want to have to
    remove it to get onto the keyboard.


    So you only have one hand.

    Got it.

    A teacher I work with actually does only have one hand. What should
    he do?


    Look at where the "Command" keys are on the keyboard. Now look at how
    few key combinations using it couldn't be operated with one hand.

    You're clutching at straws to try to maintain that what is unfamiliar
    to you must be worse than what is familiar.

    I'm familiar with every commercial operating system that has been
    released since the late 80s and Linux. While Linux is the most
    complicated and Windows the most prone to corruption, MacOS is the one
    which makes simple things cumbersome and cumbersome things simple. I
    like most of them, but there is no doubt that MacOS is not perfect
    even though the thought of it gives you an erection the way Richard
    Stallman in a dress does Joel Crump.


    What simple thing does macOS make cumbersome.

    And remember that you not understanding a thing doesn't mean it's
    cumbersome.

    We've already gone through this: closing a program entirely.

    Right: the added choices macOS gives you overwhelms you. You are not fond of choice, at least in this areas.

    Additionally, MacOS only recently got the ability to snap windows to the
    side or the corner. For the longest time, the process was a lot more cumbersome than it was in Windows or Linux.

    Agreed, through it was possible to use third party tools to give you this. Still, it took Apple way too long. Same could be said of re-sizing from any side or corner.

    Now macOS gives lots of options here.
    * Option resize from a side and it resizes from the opposite side, too.
    * Option resize from the corner resizes from all sides.
    * Shift resize from a side resizes proportionally, but keeps the other side in the same place.
    * Shift resize from a corner resizes proportionally from the center.

    You can combine these.

    Plasma has similar options. Most of the rest of Linux, and Windows, do not.

    However, I don't even see the point of discussing it with you. Apple
    could force users to go through 50 clicks to get something done compared
    to two or three in Linux or Windows and you'd still defend it and mock
    anyone who doesn't appreciate it.

    Hey, by all means let's look at common tasks and see which is most efficient. --
    It's impossible for someone who is at war with themselves to be at peace with you.

    Sure, we can learn to just close with CTRL-Q the same way people
    could
    learn to double-click on the hyphen in Windows 3.1 to do the same
    thing, but it could be less annoying.


    Some of us like more choices.

    You like more choices yet you use Apple with their walled garden?
    Do you actually know ANYTHING useful about computers and operating
    systems?

    How is forcing people to press CTRL-Q to close programs providing
    users with a choice?

    Every UI has conventions. That is a macO convention, and it isn't even
    the only way to quit an app.

    Do us all a favour and list them all.


    1. Select "Quit" from the application menu (the menu with the same name
    as the application that is always present and in the same place for
    every application and which always contains a "Quit" command).

    2. Use the keyboard shortcut, Command-Q; which is almost perfectly
    universal (except for applications that want to make sure you really
    mean to execute a quit by adding the requirement of holding the
    combination for a short period)

    3. Right-click or long-press the application's icon in the Dock and
    choose "Quit" from the menu that pops up.

    4. Without bringing the app into focus while using the Command-tab
    feature for switching between open apps, use Command-Q to quit the app.
    Your hand(s) could already be on the keyboard, so it's hardly a burden.

    And while macOS recently gained that ability, it had the ability from

    I find the snapping function of both macOS AND Windows to be annoying,
    because it wants to happen when I move a window too close to a corner or
    edge of the screen.

    unfamiliar to you must be worse than what is familiar.

    I'm familiar with every commercial operating system that has been
    released since the late 80s and Linux. While Linux is the most
    complicated and Windows the most prone to corruption, MacOS is the
    one which makes simple things cumbersome and cumbersome things
    simple. I like most of them, but there is no doubt that MacOS is not
    perfect even though the thought of it gives you an erection the way
    Richard Stallman in a dress does Joel Crump.


    What simple thing does macOS make cumbersome.

    And remember that you not understanding a thing doesn't mean it's
    cumbersome.

    We've already gone through this: closing a program entirely.
    Additionally, MacOS only recently got the ability to snap windows to
    the side or the corner. For the longest time, the process was a lot
    more cumbersome than it was in Windows or Linux.

    We have gone through this and apparently you're too thick to get it:

    YOU not liking how something is done doesn't automatically make it "cumbersome".

    And while macOS recently gained that ability, it had the ability from forever to make a window expand to fill the entire screen.

    I find the snapping function of both macOS AND Windows to be annoying, because it wants to happen when I move a window too close to a corner or edge of the screen.

    You find it annoying because Apple didn't invent it. Had it been the
    first to implement it, you'd be lauding the feature. We already know how
    you operate. You are a zealot who kneels at the altar of Jobs.

    However, I don't even see the point of discussing it with you. Apple
    could force users to go through 50 clicks to get something done
    compared to two or three in Linux or Windows and you'd still defend it
    and mock anyone who doesn't appreciate it.
    I'm not mocking you for not appreciating anything, bigot.

    I'm mocking you because you don't know the difference between you not preferring something and that thing being bad.

    The Mac method for closing apps is DIFFERENT.

    You don't like it? I really couldn't care less.

    And you don't like that I don't like it? I couldn't care less. The Apple
    way is retarded.

    Every UI has conventions. That is a macO convention, and it isn't

    Do us all a favour and list them all.

    1. Select "Quit" from the application menu (the menu with the same

    for every application and which always contains a "Quit" command).

    2. Use the keyboard shortcut, Command-Q; which is almost perfectly

    mean to execute a quit by adding the requirement of holding the
    combination for a short period)

    3. Right-click or long-press the application's icon in the Dock and
    choose "Quit" from the menu that pops up.

    4. Without bringing the app into focus while using the Command-tab
    feature for switching between open apps, use Command-Q to quit the
    app. Your hand(s) could already be on the keyboard, so it's hardly a

    How is any of those less cumbersome than just pressing the X?


    It's brain damage, Microsoft for all its faults pushes caffeine on its employees, Bill Gates was famous for that back in the day, and it shows

    Excellent summary. You can also use tools like QuitAll, Quitter, or App Tamer to quit apps if you are somehow unable to let go of the idea of apps with no windows -- which use VERY low resources -- being a problem for you.

    Really the issue here is macOS offers an ADDED choice -- the choice to leave
    an app open even with no open windows. This ADDED choice is too much for some. So be it.

    I'm familiar with every commercial operating system that has been

    complicated and Windows the most prone to corruption, MacOS is the
    one which makes simple things cumbersome and cumbersome things
    simple. I like most of them, but there is no doubt that MacOS is

    What simple thing does macOS make cumbersome.

    And remember that you not understanding a thing doesn't mean it's
    cumbersome.

    We've already gone through this: closing a program entirely.
    Additionally, MacOS only recently got the ability to snap windows to
    the side or the corner. For the longest time, the process was a lot
    more cumbersome than it was in Windows or Linux.

    We have gone through this and apparently you're too thick to get it:

    YOU not liking how something is done doesn't automatically make it
    "cumbersome".

    And while macOS recently gained that ability, it had the ability from
    forever to make a window expand to fill the entire screen.

    I find the snapping function of both macOS AND Windows to be annoying,
    because it wants to happen when I move a window too close to a corner
    or edge of the screen.

    You find it annoying because Apple didn't invent it. Had it been the
    first to implement it, you'd be lauding the feature. We already know how
    you operate. You are a zealot who kneels at the altar of Jobs.

    Nope. Not in the slightest.

    I find it annoying because it takes the decision out of my hands
    accidentally.

    In my opinion, it's bad UI to make something that will act if I just get
    too close to the edge of the screen.


    However, I don't even see the point of discussing it with you. Apple
    could force users to go through 50 clicks to get something done
    compared to two or three in Linux or Windows and you'd still defend
    it and mock anyone who doesn't appreciate it.
    I'm not mocking you for not appreciating anything, bigot.

    I'm mocking you because you don't know the difference between you not
    preferring something and that thing being bad.

    The Mac method for closing apps is DIFFERENT.

    You don't like it? I really couldn't care less.

    And you don't like that I don't like it? I couldn't care less. The Apple
    way is retarded.

    I don't care either way if you do or don't like it.

    The Apple way is just different. It causes no one who actually uses a
    Mac any problem at all.

    Every UI has conventions. That is a macO convention, and it isn't
    even the only way to quit an app.

    Do us all a favour and list them all.

    1. Select "Quit" from the application menu (the menu with the same
    name as the application that is always present and in the same place
    for every application and which always contains a "Quit" command).

    2. Use the keyboard shortcut, Command-Q; which is almost perfectly
    universal (except for applications that want to make sure you really
    mean to execute a quit by adding the requirement of holding the
    combination for a short period)

    3. Right-click or long-press the application's icon in the Dock and
    choose "Quit" from the menu that pops up.

    4. Without bringing the app into focus while using the Command-tab
    feature for switching between open apps, use Command-Q to quit the
    app. Your hand(s) could already be on the keyboard, so it's hardly a
    burden.
    How is any of those less cumbersome than just pressing the X?
    How is any of them cumbersome?

    The x is a small target. The Dock icon is larger.


    How much is Apple paying you for all this? I hope you at least got a
    free computer, or something. I can't believe you would so consistently
    defend bizarre UI features. Clicking the close button on the app window should exit the app, that is intuitive and logical.

    Excellent summary. You can also use tools like QuitAll, Quitter, or
    App Tamer
    to quit apps if you are somehow unable to let go of the idea of apps
    with no
    windows -- which use VERY low resources -- being a problem for you.

    Really the issue here is macOS offers an ADDED choice -- the choice to
    leave
    an app open even with no open windows. This ADDED choice is too much
    for some.
    So be it.


    I think the question to me is why fully exiting isn't the default.
    Choice is generally good, though.


    Because there is a cost to launching an application every time you want
    to edit a new document.

    For instance, I'm editing dozens of Word documents for a project.

    I've got a modern M3 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM, and launching Word by double-clicking on a document takes about 6 seconds.

    While opening that same file when Word is already open takes about 1 second.

    I have the option on a Mac to either leave Word open after I close the
    last document OR leave it running.

    With Word for Windows, I have no option but to have Word fully quit
    every time I close the last open document, and my PC takes the same 5-6 seconds to open a file from a cold start.

    So which OS is offering more choices?

    Every UI has conventions. That is a macO convention, and it isn't
    even the only way to quit an app.

    Do us all a favour and list them all.


    1. Select "Quit" from the application menu (the menu with the same
    name as the application that is always present and in the same place
    for every application and which always contains a "Quit" command).

    2. Use the keyboard shortcut, Command-Q; which is almost perfectly
    universal (except for applications that want to make sure you really
    mean to execute a quit by adding the requirement of holding the
    combination for a short period)

    3. Right-click or long-press the application's icon in the Dock and
    choose "Quit" from the menu that pops up.

    4. Without bringing the app into focus while using the Command-tab
    feature for switching between open apps, use Command-Q to quit the
    app. Your hand(s) could already be on the keyboard, so it's hardly a
    burden.
    How is any of those less cumbersome than just pressing the X?
    How is any of them cumbersome?

    The x is a small target. The Dock icon is larger.

    Let's make a list of the ways to close an application you listed:

    1) Instead of the one click you would need to close an application in
    Windows or on Linux, you suddenly need two: one for File, one for Quit.
    It's not cumbersome, but needlessly annoying.

    2) Instead of using one hand and navigating to the top-right to click on
    the X, you suddenly need to use two fingers from your free hand to
    achieve the same thing.

    3) Apple has long convinced people that right-clicking is the Devil.
    Suddenly, you're telling them to make a pact with Satan to have access
    to closing an application from within the dock. If not a right-click,
    you have to press a button on the keyboard while you click to do the
    same thing as the second button would on a typical Windows or Linux
    mouse. Yet again, more complicated than pressing the X at the top right corner.

    4) Admittedly not a burden if you're already busy switching
    applications. There is no problem here.

    Nevertheless, the fact remains that Apple makes closing an application needlessly annoying for no reason. Not one person clicking the red
    circle on their first use of MacOS would want or expect it to do
    anything other than completely close an application.

    How much is Apple paying you for all this?  I hope you at least got a
    free computer, or something.  I can't believe you would so
    consistently defend bizarre UI features.  Clicking the close button
    on the app window should exit the app, that is intuitive and logical.
    No. It's just what you're used to.

    Why should I have to relaunch an app when I'm working on file after file?


    You don't, as far as I know, I don't in Windows at least.


    Yes, you do.

    If you close the last Word document, the application quits.

    You've been insisting that that is better.

    Excellent summary. You can also use tools like QuitAll, Quitter, or

    to quit apps if you are somehow unable to let go of the idea of apps
    with no
    windows -- which use VERY low resources -- being a problem for you.

    Really the issue here is macOS offers an ADDED choice -- the choice
    to leave
    an app open even with no open windows. This ADDED choice is too much
    for some.
    So be it.


    I think the question to me is why fully exiting isn't the default.
    Choice is generally good, though.


    Because there is a cost to launching an application every time you want
    to edit a new document.

    For instance, I'm editing dozens of Word documents for a project.

    I've got a modern M3 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM, and launching Word by double-clicking on a document takes about 6 seconds.

    While opening that same file when Word is already open takes about 1
    second.

    I have the option on a Mac to either leave Word open after I close the
    last document OR leave it running.

    With Word for Windows, I have no option but to have Word fully quit
    every time I close the last open document, and my PC takes the same 5-6 seconds to open a file from a cold start.

    So which OS is offering more choices?

    So Apple and MacOS assume that you want it to remain in memory because
    they believe that you will continue to use the application whereas
    Windows (and Linux) gives you the option to keep it loaded by simply minimizing it after it's loaded, minimizing to tray if you want it out
    of the way or push it over to a virtual desktop if you want it loaded
    and ready to access but out of the way. One company thinks that you
    don't have a brain and does the thinking for you, the other one assumes
    that if you were able to purchase their software, something up there is
    still functional.

    It's sad to see that Apple thinks so little of its users. How long
    before they start wiping your ass for you?

    There is more to biology than simply what chromosomes someone has.

    By far. Here... though the bigots will never accept the science:

    A lot of good info with 233 sources (extra credit if you find the typo!): https://youtu.be/szf4hzQ5ztg

    Quick summary of the whole it all comes down to XX/XY claims: https://www.tiktok.com/@renegadescienceteacher/video/6842833187891055877

    More details from authoritative sources:

    https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-new-science-of-sex-and-gender/ -----
    Sex is supposed to be simple—at least at the molecular level. The biological explanations that appear in textbooks amount to X + X = and X + Y = . Venus or Mars, pink or blue. As science looks more closely, however, it becomes increasingly clear that a pair of chromosomes do not always suffice to distinguish girl/boy—either from the standpoint of sex (biological traits) or of gender (social identity).
    -----

    https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-07238-8
    -----
    Even more scientifically complex is a mismatch between gender and the sex on a person’s birth certificate. Some evidence suggests that transgender identity has genetic or hormonal roots, but its exact biological correlates are
    unclear. Whatever the cause, organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics advise physicians to treat people according to their preferred gender, regardless of appearance or genetics.

    The research and medical community now sees sex as more complex than male and female, and gender as a spectrum that includes transgender people and those
    who identify as neither male nor female. The US administration’s proposal would ignore that expert consensus.

    -----
    The process of biological sex differentiation (development of a given sex) involves many genetically regulated, hierarchical developmental steps.
    ...
    Gender, typically described in terms of masculinity and femininity, is a
    social construction that varies across different cultures and over time. (6) There are a number of cultures, for example, in which greater gender diversity exists and sex and gender are not always neatly divided along binary lines
    such as male and female or homosexual and heterosexual. The Berdache in North America, the fa’afafine (Samoan for “the way of a woman”) in the Pacific, and
    the kathoey in Thailand are all examples of different gender categories that differ from the traditional Western division of people into males and females. Further, among certain North American native communities, gender is seen more in terms of a continuum than categories, with special acknowledgement of “two-spirited” people who encompass both masculine and feminine qualities and
    characteristics. It is apparent, then, that different cultures have taken different approaches to creating gender distinctions, with more or less recognition of fluidity and complexity of gender.

    https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/think-gender-comes-down-to-x-and-y-chromosomes-think-again/article24811543/
    -----
    Think gender comes down to X and Y chromosomes? Think again
    ...
    But biology doesn't work that way. Biological phenomena don't necessarily fit into human-ordained binary categories. So while humans insist that you're either male or female – that you have either XY or XX sex chromosomes – biology begs to differ.
    ...
    So what's the answer? There isn't one, at least if we're looking for the
    answer in biology. We must not fall back on biology. Rather, we must always remember that it is we, not biology, who decide who counts as male or female. And it is we who must take responsibility for our decisions.

    http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/content/two-spirits_map-html/
    -----
    On nearly every continent, and for all of recorded history, thriving cultures have recognized, revered, and integrated more than two genders. Terms such as “transgender” and “gay” are strictly new constructs that assume three things:
    that there are only two sexes (male/female), as many as two sexualities (gay/straight), and only two genders (man/woman).

    Yet hundreds of distinct societies around the globe have their own long-established traditions for third, fourth, fifth, or more genders. The subject of Two Spirits, Fred Martinez, for example, was not a boy who wanted
    to be a girl, but both a boy and a girl — an identity his Navajo culture recognized and revered as nádleehí. Meanwhile, Hina of Kumu Hina is part of a a native Hawaiian culture that has traditionally revered and respected mahu, those who embody both male and female spirit.

    Most Western societies have no direct correlation for this tradition, nor for the many other communities without strict either/or conceptions of sex, sexuality, and gender. Worldwide, the sheer variety of gender expression is almost limitless. Take a tour and learn how other cultures see gender diversity.

    During the early 1970s, Dr. Julianne Imperato, a Cornell endocrinologist, conducted an expedition to the Dominican Republic to investigate reports of an isolated village where children appearing to be girls turned into men at puberty.

Also known locally as machihembras ('first women, then man'), these pseudohermaphrodites were documented serially in the following photographs published originally in the American Journal of Medicne (Am.

    He's not trans, dipshit. You can't just decide to say you're trans,
    it's an innate characteristic, they're born that way, phobe.

    Right wingers do not respect biology.

    So what chromosomes does a trans person who was born a
    male have?

    It varies by person, and gender is not just about chromosomes. It is about genes (the SrY gene and others, about hormones, about hormone blockers, about hormone receptors, and much more).

    How about a trans person who was born a female?

    Same idea.

    That is biology snit.

    Correct. And yet you reject it for your bigotry. Remember, it is those of us who are NOT bigots who respect the biology and the science. You reject it to push hatred.

    Excellent summary. You can also use tools like QuitAll, Quitter, or
    App Tamer
    to quit apps if you are somehow unable to let go of the idea of apps
    with no
    windows -- which use VERY low resources -- being a problem for you.

    Really the issue here is macOS offers an ADDED choice -- the choice
    to leave
    an app open even with no open windows. This ADDED choice is too much
    for some.
    So be it.

    I think the question to me is why fully exiting isn't the default.
    Choice is generally good, though.

    Because there is a cost to launching an application every time you want
    to edit a new document.

    For instance, I'm editing dozens of Word documents for a project.

    I've got a modern M3 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM, and launching Word by
    double-clicking on a document takes about 6 seconds.

    While opening that same file when Word is already open takes about 1
    second.

    I have the option on a Mac to either leave Word open after I close the
    last document OR leave it running.

    With Word for Windows, I have no option but to have Word fully quit
    every time I close the last open document, and my PC takes the same 5-6
    seconds to open a file from a cold start.

    So which OS is offering more choices?


    I can leave the word processor open with nothing open within it, I have
    LO's word processor pinned to my taskbar in fact, I leave it running
    without closing it out, if I close the main window that should exit it.
    Still easy enough to reopen it or open a file that will execute it.

    Why should it close? What is the benefit? What is the benefit for it to NOT close? What are the tradeoffs?

    I don't try to denigrate people with personal attacks...

    ...when they've shown they deserve it by making a personal attack on me...

    ...asshole.

    I'm sure you've noticed that I am making little to no effort to get your approval. When I was wrong, I said it but I won't start bending over to
    your fruity overlords simply because you believe that using their
    products requires total devotion to their choices. When they're good, I
    state it; when they're bad, I also state it.

    For the record, Apple is responsible for the smartest shifts in modern computing since 1997. They were the first to believe that a computer
    could be friendly, but they were also the first to imagine that a
    computer could be attractive (Apple ][, Mac, iMac G3, G4 Cube, PowerMac
    G5, etc.). They were the first to recognize that MP3 playback needed
    greater portability and battery life (iPod), they were the first one who believed that you could do just about everything on a phone (iPhone) and
    they were the first to realize that people don't want to be stuck to
    their computers for all tasks and invented the tablet. They were also
    the ones to realize that people are sick of plugging their laptops to
    the wall at all times and made a computer which could last a day on a
    single charge... without compromising on performance.

    That said, they _do_ make mistakes and there _are_ drawbacks to using
    their products. Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, the operating
    system is quite nice even if some of the decisions the company made for
    it are just ridiculous. However, none of them would cause a person to
    dislike the Mac even though I notice that a lot of people buy these
    machines and return them rather quickly because they can't get used to
    them. Where Apple _does_ deserve to be criticized is in their decision
    that everything needs to be soldered and irreplaceable by the user. It's something others are imitating and the user is in a worse position when
    it comes to repairs and upgrades than they were thirty years ago. This
    simply means that computers get discarded a lot faster than they need to
    be even though Apple does accept old machines from users, offers them a
    credit and recycles hem. They also deserve to be criticized for their
    decision to _continue_ making 256GB the default amount of storage you
    get and for offering no more than 8GB of RAM until very recently. Their
    excuse that 8GB in a Mac is the same as 16GB in a PC doesn't hold water
    either as people have tested that statement and shown that it's a
    complete lie.

    Anyways, I've rambled on long enough.

    I truly don't care, Alan. The very fact that you're unable to admit
    to a single flaw in Apple's products makes you one too.

    So be it.


    I think the question to me is why fully exiting isn't the default.
    Choice is generally good, though.


    Because there is a cost to launching an application every time you want
    to edit a new document.

    For instance, I'm editing dozens of Word documents for a project.

    I've got a modern M3 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM, and launching Word by double-clicking on a document takes about 6 seconds.

    While opening that same file when Word is already open takes about 1 second.

    I have the option on a Mac to either leave Word open after I close the
    last document OR leave it running.

    With Word for Windows, I have no option but to have Word fully quit
    every time I close the last open document, and my PC takes the same 5-6 seconds to open a file from a cold start.

    So which OS is offering more choices?

    And the related question: what is the cost? What is the downside to having the app open with no windows open? MINIMAL resource usage... essentially nothing. --

    We have gone through this and apparently you're too thick to get it:

    YOU not liking how something is done doesn't automatically make it

    And while macOS recently gained that ability, it had the ability from
    forever to make a window expand to fill the entire screen.

    I find the snapping function of both macOS AND Windows to be annoying,
    because it wants to happen when I move a window too close to a corner
    or edge of the screen.

    You find it annoying because Apple didn't invent it. Had it been the
    first to implement it, you'd be lauding the feature. We already know how
    you operate. You are a zealot who kneels at the altar of Jobs.

    Nope. Not in the slightest.

    I find it annoying because it takes the decision out of my hands accidentally.

    In my opinion, it's bad UI to make something that will act if I just get
    too close to the edge of the screen.

    I like it... but if you hold Option as you move the window you bypass it. And given how I use Moom to move my windows around, I rarely use the feature.

    Nope. Utter bullshit. Apple added right-click to macOS in Mac OS 8...

    ...in 1997.

    I never said that it didn't support right-clicking; I said that it
    actively discouraged people from right-clicking by making all touchpads
    and mice provided with their machines have a single button. You could
    get a different mouse afterwards and get the functionality, but Apple
    didn't provide it by default. For the company, it was more convenient to
    click that one button simultaneously with a key to accomplish the same
    thing.

    Suddenly,  you're telling them to make a pact with Satan to have
    access to closing an application from within the dock. If not a right-
    click, you have to press a button on the keyboard while you click to
    do the same thing as the second button would on a typical Windows or
    Linux mouse. Yet again, more complicated than pressing the X at the
    top right corner.

    Or long-press. One finger, no two-button mouse necessary, nor a modifier key.

    Are you saying that if a user presses clicks the red button and holds
    the clicks for a certain period of time, the application completely
    removes itself from memory? If that's the case, I wasn't aware.

    4) Admittedly not a burden if you're already busy switching
    applications. There is no problem here.

    Nevertheless, the fact remains that Apple makes closing an application
    needlessly annoying for no reason. Not one person clicking the red
    circle on their first use of MacOS would want or expect it to do
    anything other than completely close an application.

    Nope.

    Not what you're used to is not automatically "annoying".

    Say that to the people who routinely return their machines in favour of
    a Windows one citing annoyance with MacOS. Granted, there is an equal or larger number of users doing the reverse, but the fact remains that
    people do find some of the operating system's behaviour to be cumbersome.

    It's sad to see that Apple thinks so little of its users. How long

    Pontius Pilate described Jesus as having a golden-coloured beard and
    hair which contrasted heavily with the typical black beard of the people around him and their darker complexions. The Archko volume says the same
    in mentioning that his hair was the colour of new wine and mentions that
    he had soft blue eyes. The people who claim that He wasn't white are
    people who have no knowledge of historical records and who make stuff up
    to push their "social justice" idiocy. Furthermore, I love Jesus because
    of who He is and what He did, not how he looks.

    Some will say that it is "impossible" because He was from the Middle
    East all the while ignoring that as God, He can take whatever form He

    Nope. Utter bullshit. Apple added right-click to macOS in Mac OS 8...

    ...in 1997.

    I never said that it didn't support right-clicking; I said that it
    actively discouraged people from right-clicking by making all touchpads
    and mice provided with their machines have a single button.

    This is a different claim than your one above. Why the change?

    You could
    get a different mouse afterwards and get the functionality, but Apple
    didn't provide it by default. For the company, it was more convenient to click that one button simultaneously with a key to accomplish the same
    thing.

    For the company? The company is not the one who used my machine. *I* did. And
    I have used third party mice -- and third party mouse drivers -- for many years. Is there anything on Linux like StreerMouse? As far as I know -- no.
    But I am behind on it.

    I think XMBC is sorta close on Windows.

    Suddenly, you're telling them to make a pact with Satan to have
    access to closing an application from within the dock. If not a right-
    click, you have to press a button on the keyboard while you click to
    do the same thing as the second button would on a typical Windows or
    Linux mouse. Yet again, more complicated than pressing the X at the
    top right corner.

    Or long-press. One finger, no two-button mouse necessary, nor a modifier
    key.

    Are you saying that if a user presses clicks the red button and holds
    the clicks for a certain period of time, the application completely
    removes itself from memory? If that's the case, I wasn't aware.

    Press the icon to get Quit.

    Option clicking the red button closes all windows in the app.

    4) Admittedly not a burden if you're already busy switching
    applications. There is no problem here.

    Nevertheless, the fact remains that Apple makes closing an application
    needlessly annoying for no reason. Not one person clicking the red
    circle on their first use of MacOS would want or expect it to do
    anything other than completely close an application.

    Nope.

    Not what you're used to is not automatically "annoying".

    Say that to the people who routinely return their machines in favour of
    a Windows one citing annoyance with MacOS.

    Cite. And show that Windows has a higher loyalty than macOS.

    Granted, there is an equal or
    larger number of users doing the reverse, but the fact remains that
    people do find some of the operating system's behaviour to be cumbersome.

    People have... gasp... different needs and preferences! Keep in mind you can get a Windows machine for less money. That is going to push people toward Windows. And Linux is even cheaper.

    How much is Apple paying you for all this?  I hope you at least got
    a free computer, or something.  I can't believe you would so
    consistently defend bizarre UI features.  Clicking the close button
    on the app window should exit the app, that is intuitive and logical.
    No. It's just what you're used to.

    Why should I have to relaunch an app when I'm working on file after
    file?

    You don't, as far as I know, I don't in Windows at least.

    Yes, you do.

    If you close the last Word document, the application quits.

    You've been insisting that that is better.


    I looked into this as I suggested in another reply, and if I close the
    last document in LO, it goes to a screen where one can launch all the LO components or start a new document, and minimizing that does seem to
    exit it, which is similar to your report with MS Word (I haven't used
    Office in a really long time, I dislike it, though I interestingly
    enough *liked* the one for Mac i got a functional trial of in 2010), I
    would suggest just having an empty document open, if you want to
    minimize it, for quick access.

    I don't miss the screen space on my phone.  In fact, I would rather give that up to get the button.
    That makes no sense at all.

    The gesture is no more difficult to use than the button. You just have
    to know it. That takes literally 5 seconds when you first get the phone.

    After that, you get the space all the time for absolutely no loss of functionality.

    John 14:6

    Let's make free software faggot-free.

    You get that Jesus wasn't white...

    ..right?

    Pontius Pilate described Jesus as having a golden-coloured beard and
    hair which contrasted heavily with the typical black beard of the people around him and their darker complexions. The Archko volume says the same
    in mentioning that his hair was the colour of new wine and mentions that
    he had soft blue eyes. The people who claim that He wasn't white are
    people who have no knowledge of historical records and who make stuff up
    to push their "social justice" idiocy. Furthermore, I love Jesus because
    of who He is and what He did, not how he looks.

    In a book written... ...when?




    Some will say that it is "impossible" because He was from the Middle
    East all the while ignoring that as God, He can take whatever form He wishes.
    But the important thing is your need to believe that Jesus was white...

    ...because to think otherwise is have to acknowledge your own bigotry.

    it's an innate characteristic, they're born that way, phobe.

    Right wingers do not respect biology.

    So what chromosomes does a trans person who was born a

    Sex is supposed to be simple—at least at the molecular level. The biological

    Mars, pink or blue. As science looks more closely, however, it becomes

    of gender (social identity).

    Even more scientifically complex is a mismatch between gender and the sex on a

    On nearly every continent, and for all of recorded history, thriving cultures

    that there are only two sexes (male/female), as many as two sexualities
    (gay/straight), and only two genders (man/woman).

    Keep in mind there are also UI benefits to having the menu there without needing the window -- such as the ability to quickly create a new document
    from the clipboard. But the Windows / Linux way is not crippling or whatever. It is different. I personally like looking at the minutia of these differences but most people do not care.

    Some other areas I look at:

    * Proxy icons
    * A Media Browser
    * Full screen programs integrating with virtual desktops
    * PDF Services
    * A system wide color selector which allows for add-ons
    * A system wide font manager where you can define sets and more
    * Application services
    * Renaming and moving and duplicating from within programs
    * QuickLook (and its integration with so many programs)
    * Saved status indicators
    * A visual versioning system - which allows easy copying and pasting
    from earlier versions
    * Consistent print dialogs
    * Consistent save and open dialogs
    * Consistent common dialog names and placements and hot keys
    * Path from title bar
    * Recent items list that work with moved / renamed files
    * Integrated dictation services
    * Integrated text-to-voice services

    I am sure there are more. I most of these matter more than the menu with no windows.

    don't need to use screen real estate at all times...

    ...for something you don't use at all times?


    I don't miss the screen space on my phone.  In fact, I would rather
    give that up to get the button.
    That makes no sense at all.

    The gesture is no more difficult to use than the button. You just have
    to know it. That takes literally 5 seconds when you first get the phone.

    After that, you get the space all the time for absolutely no loss of functionality.

    I' for one, love gestures. Support for gestures is part of why I prefer Wayland over X11 on Linux. MacOS does gestures well, as does the iPhone. Windows also does a pretty good job, at least in Windows 11.

    children and convince them that they need puberty blockers and to
    eventually put their genitals in the rubbish bin! Whatever was I
    thinking when I offended the people who want the most innocent
    elements of society to sterilize themselves in the most horrific way!

    You're literally making up shit that doesn't happen...

    ...but that's irrelevant...

    ...because all I'm pointing out your attempt to denigrate me.

    Everything I mentioned is indeed happening. Here is just one relic media attempt to downplay it: <https://globalnews.ca/news/6399468/bc-gender-change-court/> . Heck, he
    got six months in prison for speaking out against it: <https://genderreport.ca/bc-father-in-prison-for-speaking-out-about-daughters-medical-transition/>.
    The homosexuals and the demonic pedophiles of the left are behind the
    process of going to schools and convincing children that it's cool to do
    so whether you want to admit it or not. Just because the relic media you
    rely on chooses not to report it doesn't mean that it's not happening.
    Way to reveal that you're affiliated with the demonic pedophiles though
    (but let's keep pretending that you never revealed that you're a flaming leftist, ol' chap).
    Pontius Pilate described Jesus as having a golden-coloured beard and
    hair which contrasted heavily with the typical black beard of the
    people around him and their darker complexions. The Archko volume says
    the same in mentioning that his hair was the colour of new wine and
    mentions that he had soft blue eyes. The people who claim that He
    wasn't white are people who have no knowledge of historical records
    and who make stuff up to push their "social justice" idiocy.
    Furthermore, I love Jesus because of who He is and what He did, not
    how he looks.

    In a book written... ...when?

    They were circulated during the days of the early church but I doubt
    anyone could say exactly when they were written.

    Some will say that it is "impossible" because He was from the Middle
    East all the while ignoring that as God, He can take whatever form He
    wishes.
    But the important thing is your need to believe that Jesus was white...

    ...because to think otherwise is have to acknowledge your own bigotry.

    Your belief that I think whiteness is a pre-requisite to being a good
    person is ridiculous. While black culture is repulsive and muhammedans
    are a scourge on Western Civilization, there is no doubt that there is a handful of people from their culture which contributed to society
    positively rather than destroy it.

    I can leave the word processor open with nothing open within it, I

    leaving a blank document open is an option.

    Sounds very intuitive!

    Leave a document you don't need open to keep other documents loading quickly!

    LOL!


    If I don't minimize LO's shell, it will remain open, the thing is that
    the blank document keeps a *specific* component of the suite running.
    It's not as counterintuitive as it sounds in this debate, I'm imagining

    You're literally making up shit that doesn't happen...

    ...but that's irrelevant...

    ...because all I'm pointing out your attempt to denigrate me.

    Everything I mentioned is indeed happening. Here is just one relic media attempt to downplay it: <https://globalnews.ca/news/6399468/bc-gender-change-court/> . Heck, he
    got six months in prison for speaking out against it: <https://genderreport.ca/bc-father-in-prison-for-speaking-out-about-daughters-medical-transition/>.
    The homosexuals and the demonic pedophiles of the left are behind the
    process of going to schools and convincing children that it's cool to do
    so whether you want to admit it or not. Just because the relic media you
    rely on chooses not to report it doesn't mean that it's not happening.
    Way to reveal that you're affiliated with the demonic pedophiles though
    (but let's keep pretending that you never revealed that you're a flaming leftist, ol' chap).
    Pontius Pilate described Jesus as having a golden-coloured beard and
    hair which contrasted heavily with the typical black beard of the
    people around him and their darker complexions. The Archko volume says
    the same in mentioning that his hair was the colour of new wine and
    mentions that he had soft blue eyes. The people who claim that He
    wasn't white are people who have no knowledge of historical records
    and who make stuff up to push their "social justice" idiocy.
    Furthermore, I love Jesus because of who He is and what He did, not
    how he looks.

    In a book written... ...when?

    They were circulated during the days of the early church but I doubt
    anyone could say exactly when they were written.

    Some will say that it is "impossible" because He was from the Middle
    East all the while ignoring that as God, He can take whatever form He
    wishes.
    But the important thing is your need to believe that Jesus was white...

    ...because to think otherwise is have to acknowledge your own bigotry.

    Your belief that I think whiteness is a pre-requisite to being a good
    person is ridiculous. While black culture is repulsive and muhammedans
    are a scourge on Western Civilization, there is no doubt that there is a handful of people from their culture which contributed to society
    positively rather than destroy it.

    Notice you feel the need to lie and attack.

    Remember, where tribalism and scapegoating are important to you, to many of us evidence and equal rights are our values.

    We shall not see eye to eye.

    The gesture is no more difficult to use than the button. You just

    ...you utterly horrid ignorant bigot.

    Deal with it:

    Jesus was of the same race that you now denigrate.

    Something you have no evidence for.

    Other than that at the time he is supposed to have lived, people barely
    moved around; certainly not people of his supposed social status.

    Look at the middle east TODAY and you'll barely see a single person of
    light skin or blonde hair borne there unless his or her parents weren't originally from the middle east.

    Face it: you can't stand the fact that your "saviour" was wasn't blonde
    haired and blued-eyed.

    On further investigation, I started to realize what you were saying,
    leaving a blank document open isn't the same as having the shell of
    LO open (minimizing such will exit it, apparently).  Nevertheless,
    leaving a blank document open is an option.

    Sounds very intuitive!

    Leave a document you don't need open to keep other documents loading
    quickly!

    LOL!

    If I don't minimize LO's shell, it will remain open, the thing is that
    the blank document keeps a *specific* component of the suite running.

    Which is a cludge for sure.


    You can't leave the window open?


    It's not as counterintuitive as it sounds in this debate, I'm
    imagining that MS Office isn't entirely different with how this would
    work, that there's a launcher shell when no document is open, but I'm
    not gonna download the free trial to find out, I already know what I
    prefer.
    Keep your mind empty of any new ideas!

    Got it!


    When the "new idea" is installing Microsoft Office (for Windows,
    specifically, again I liked the Mac version), you can rest assured my
    mind will be *void*.

    Minimizing will exit it?

    So it appeared, yeah.  I had never encountered this before discussing
    it here, I just leave a blank LO Writer document open for quick access
    when I need to create a plain-text PDF (I don't own a physical printer).

    You mean you will NOW leave a blank document open...

    ...right?

    You earlier claimed this concept was new to you, right?


    I claimed that closing the blank document and seeing the shell
    minimizing exiting it was new to me, not just leaving the Writer
    component running with a blank document open, which is what I do.

    Assyria controlled an empire that at its height covered territory that
    was all made up of people who were as non-white as the people of
