Has anyone here used the Sound Source app for Mac to control each individual apps volume?
I'm curious how well it works or if there's something others recommend that might be better in their opinion.
@amerpie tagging you since you use a ton of MacOS apps and might have thoughts on this one.
@nixCraft@mastodon.socialthat is how do it. what about you? sudo -i? sudo -s? su -? gksudo? runuser? pkexec? See https://www.cyberciti.biz/open-source/command-line-hacks/linux-run-command-as-different-user/ for more on those commands.
Hey y’all! How’s everyone doing? Hope all is well! 
Quick question for folks using **Google Drive** on iPhone and Mac:
If someone shares a folder with you, how do you get it to appear in the main section of Google Drive (like in "My Drive") and not just under "Shared with me"?
For example, on my Mac, I have Google Drive set up to show in Finder, but it only shows the *My Drive* folder—none of the shared ones—unless I use the web version. On the iPhone app, I only see shared folders in the *Shared* tab, unless I create a shortcut to that folder.
What do y’all think? Any tips or tricks?

Another relatively new photo format gaining traction these days is webp, originally developed by Google.
#NeoFinder 8.9 can now natively read and process webp files just like HEIC or JPEG!

@jan@kcore.orgWhy doesn't #macos just take the filename I type in the "Save As" dialog as is?
Why do I need to go and manually specify the directory when I just typed the full path in the file name? Even worse, why does it save it then with : instead of just giving an error?

Apple's definitive new macOS UI redesign has leaked!
31 years ago, Geir Ivarsøy and I started working on the Opera browser. A year later we founded Opera Software.
At Opera we wrote all our own code from scratch.
In 2011 I left Opera due to disagreement with investors about the direction Opera was heading.
Two years later, I co-founded Vivaldi to build a browser for you.
So I have been building browsers for 31 years. I think I know what it takes to build a browser.
Our Vivaldi team is for the most part in Norway and Iceland with a few people distributed around Europe and a couple of business people in the US.
Vivaldi is available for your computer and your phone, unless you have a very specific setup. Vivaldi might even be available for your car as well.
We go out of our way to provide you with a browser that matches your needs. I hope you like it.
Alright developers, what would you consider to be a reasonably amount of RAM for a new MacBook (Air or Pro) for web development?
I won’t use it for AI stuff, but yes Docker and a few Electron apps.
I want it to last me five years at least.
My initial observation was 32 GB, but that might be overkill.
(I currently use a late 2020 MB Air, M1, 16 GB RAM, which is still pretty OK but showing its age)
@kkarhan@infosec.space@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen @fuchsiii obviously, that would've been a good standard for everyone, given that almost all non-#Gaming #Apps these days are #WebApps and at that point we'd not have 100+ MB #bloatware that essentially just loads a #Website and can't even cache shit!
Personally I believe the @europarl_en & @EUCommission could do that and establish as well as enforce an #EC #norm, just as they did with #USBc, #CCS2 and #GDPR!
#Android needs to be better as in being more than just the "lesser evil" compared to iOS!
@daihard@sakurajima.socialI thought this was a simple ask. I just wanted a file manager app on #macOS that had an integrated terminal that synced with the folder view above, just like Dolphin in #KDE Plasma.
After I tried the following suggestions, I've given up.
* Commander One
* Spacedrive
* Forklift (v3 and v4)
* Nimble Commander
* muCommander
None of them offer this simple yet super useful feature.
#Marta is the closest I've found, but its file-based configuration is quite limited. It doesn't even have an icon view.
I'm starting to regret my decision to accept my manager's request to switch from Linux to macOS for my work.

@kkarhan@infosec.space@kobilacroix Consider #AffinityPhoto and/or #AffinityDesigner?
@fuchsiii had good experience with it on #macOS & #Windows and AFAICT they don't explicitly go out of their way to #brick #Wine...

@alex_deplov@mastodon.socialIn 2004, we didn't have Retina displays, but the graphics were rich; in 2019, we have Retina displays, but the graphics are less detailed.
ever since i upgraded my 2015 MBP to Monterey/11.x, i noticed one absolutely crippling bug: when unplugged and sleeping overnight, the battery would drain about 10-15% by the morning. after a few days, the battery would be completely dead despite not being used.
after a few months of troubleshooting, i finally pinned down the cause: the BT module is the source of the drain. i disabled BT, and woke up to a 100% battery this morning.
edit: apparently there is an app that automatically disables BT when sleeping https://github.com/odlp/bluesnooze/
