Whatever you do, don’t tell this person about macOS.

I hate apps that don't close when you close them, and you have to go through a bunch of sub menus to shut them down, or confirm it multiple times.. I also hate when apps have taskbar icons for absolutely no reason. It's a big peeve of mine

Had a gen z coworker once who was a little mind-blown when I pointed out that the squeaky boots episode of SpongeBob is just "The Tell-Tale Heart." Usually any time I've tried to share that fun fact, anyone who's already familiar with both stories has already connected the dots. It was pretty fun to witness the "holy shit it IS the same story" realization in real time.

There are legitimate reasons to keep a background task around, like SyncThing. There are illegitimate reasons too, like Discord.

I'm looking at you music players. If I click that red x it doesn't mean hide in the flipping volume control on the taskbar and keep playing!

This bullshit started with skype™ back in the day of windows vista.

Whereas my system is full of daemons and zombies, just the way I like it

My newer computer you can't even well tell what programs are using what cpu because task manager is now nearly worthless now. I imagine it's on purpose given the enshitification of everything especially tech.

I want some apps to minimize to tray rather than close, but it should absolutely be an option in the prefs.

Is this some kind of windows joke I'm too kill -9 to understand?
