Rsync replaced with openrsync on macOS Sequoia

My latest macOS Sequoia issue on two different Macs is the Finder locking up, having to force quit it, and then it not coming back which means having to reboot. Super annoying...
Made a wee TikTok to promote my new "dinky little Mac app" Substage (https://substage.app)
Is that even a thing, do people successfully promote indie apps on TikTok? Also what's the latest on TikTok in the US, is it broadly available or not??
appreciated, if that helps our master and overlord, The Algorithm??

Hmm, looks like either #macOS #SystemSettings' Storage screen can't add or it can't find all applications...
It says there are 509.26 GB of applications, but when I added up the claimed sizes from the same screen, it was only 312.04 GB 
Thus, (at least) one of two things is wrong — either the displayed total is nearly 200 GB too large, or there are applications not in the list or with the wrong size in the list.

Got a Mac my first ever mac. Need to understand how to use this thing, so many computer paradimes that are alien to me from Wind/Nix background.
What do you use to install apps? Is the package manager like Linux? Or do we just download random binaries from the net like Windows?
Major frustration so far is display scaling. I want 4K resolution but with larger text (I need like 2 extra points to make it usable), but that doesn't seem to be a thing? (also this settings menu is a dumpster fire, why the fuck can I not make it wider lmfao)
@bitnacht Good point, re: the busy bee.
As for the spinning disc (or "beachball"), it got its start in NEXTSTEP as a greyscale spinning magneto-optical disc rendering indicating the system is busy / data is loading, which was seen quite often on the early NeXT Cube, as it came with no HD but only an MO drive, and it used that drive for _swap_, if you can imagine...
That spinning disc became color when NEXTSTEP gained a color display on later hardware, and from there it evolved into the spinning "beachball" we know today (macOS being structurally based upon and evolved from NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP).
EDIT: Oh, I think I misread - you are talking about the busy mouse pointer icon in Windows, I think. I'm not sure of its specific history. Apologies.

Today on AppAddict - AppAddict's One-Year Anniversary - One year ago I posted my first app review on AppAddict. I'd recently subscribed to a new blogging service and I was trying to figure out what to write. I figured that my love of downloading and testing new software was something worth sharing. Besides, I was trying to figure... - https://appaddict.app/post/appaddict-s-one-year-anniversary - #Mac #macOS #Apple #AppAddict
weird #macOS bug:
Has anyone had the issue where System Settings app runs (as in there's a dot under it in the dock) but no window shows?
If so, how did you fix it?

SUBSTAGE has just got prettier, faster and smarter!
The natural language command bar for Finder windows now has:
Fancy new animations
Faster responses
Smarter responses
It's super handy, whether you work with images, video, you're a developer or more.
Não é de agora que sinto desconforto quando sei que algum software que uso passou por uma “grande atualização”. Vide o caso do Jellyfin para Roku OS. É pedir muito que não mexam no que não está quebrado? Ou, melhor ainda, iterar em vez de mudar tudo?

Why 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?

Schon mal #deltachat in Betracht gezogen?
Bietet ähnlichen Funktionsumfang wie #Whatsapp #Signal #SignalApp und nutzt dafür aber Standard Internet Protokolle (Email Standards) für #E2EE über sog. chat relays. Diese speichern nur kurzfristig die (immer verschlüsselten) Nachrichten.
#deltachat läuft nicht nur auf #Android oder #iOS sondern auch unter #linux #macos #ubuntutouch oder wer unbedingt will auch #windoof
