macOS is Hot Garbage
<p>It’s 2022. Apple has been releasing graphical operating systems since 1984 and in 38 years they haven’t learned enough to make a great OS. In this post I’ll show you everything misleading, awkward, or just plain broken about macOS. OK, probably not everything.</p>
<h1>Finder is Dogshit</h1>
<p>“Finder” is macOS’s file manager. Let’s take a look.</p>
<h2><strong>Files don’t Auto-Arrange</strong></h2>

<p>Drag-and-drop files into an empty folder makes them scroll off to the right</p>
<p>By default, file icons will preserve their arrangement, which is never what I want. I’ve learned to two-finger-tap (aka <em>right-click</em>) and press Clean Up. This arranges the files as I expect, usually. Sometimes it doesn’t (see video) and I’m not sure why.</p>
