Whatever educated guesses it’s making are pretty damn good then.

As a habit, I always give a quick scroll through all the files AppCleaner finds when I ask it to delete something and not once has it selected anything irrelevant. Been using it for many years now and the app’s performance has just been bulletproof for me in all that time.

If it works as well as it has for me, I would rather it go that extra mile and delete whatever crap it needs to delete rather than leaving vestigial files on my computer for apps I don’t want anymore.

If Apple just built what AppCleaner does directly into macOS, we wouldn’t have to worry about anything like that at all. In the meantime, we have to turn to a third party to help with something as essential as uninstalling an app completely.

This is great feedback, I was thinking the exact same thing today.

The swipe from right to left could have double functionality like the left to right swipe (upvote/downvote). Swipe a bit and it gives the option to reply, continue swiping and it turns into a bookmark.

Williams pace was great in the dry, they just got off to a super shaky start in qualifying because it was still wet.

I barely download any apps from the app store, so I didn’t even know that. I just habitually do it straight from the developers.

Regarding uninstalling by dragging to the trash, that would actually be perfect if it worked exactly like AppCleaner does. Unfortunately it always leaves behind cache and a few files here and there.

All Apple needs to do is enable deletion of all app-related files when you drag the app itself to the trash. Can’t imagine it’s too complex if AppCleaner is able to achieve the very same thing as a third-party.

the catastrophe that is the moonswatch will never not get a chuckle from me.

Always thought how crazy it is that the functionality of this app never came built right into macOS itself. Until that happens, this really is a cornerstone app for anyone using macs.

As dangerous as Zhou’s crash was last year, it ironically prevented a far crazier situation with the protestors who were already out on the track at Lap 1. If the race had a clean start, the drivers would’ve 100% reached them. Who knows what would’ve happened in that situation.

I mean, I’m pretty sure this must have been considered by them already, so if they still haven’t done it, it’s probably because the numbers just don’t check out.

Its clear that organisations like RB, Merc and Ferrari are highly adept at (and love) making money. If they’re not partaking in a potential opportunity, there must truly be a compelling economic reason behind that with the sort of information that you and I are simply not privy to.

It would be quite the bill to foot for an organisation that’s already pretty expensive to run. I don’t imagine they would do that unless there’s some serious financial incentive at the end of it, even if there is a connection there. They are a business after all.

The reason the big teams will still have a major advantage for quite some time is because of the many tens of millions they splurged on updating their factories right before the capital expenditure portion of the cost cap kicked in. All the smaller teams couldn’t do that and were left stuck with whatever machinery and technologies they were already using.

The CapEx cap is around $36 million every 4 years. James Vowels was on the F1 podcast last week and he said he’s actively campaigning to get that number raised for a team like Williams, since that’s the only way to bring about real long-term change without actually waiting a decade. They’re still working with 20-year old tech in parts of the factory but they literally cannot update it, even if they have the funds, because of the capital expenditure limit.

At the moment, it seems like the comments on each post are organized by whatever is the default sorting option picked for the main feed.

I would love to be able to have distinct default sorting options for both. Personally I would like to set the Feed to “New” and the Comments per post to “Top”

Whenever I try to select “New as the default sorting option, it always defaults to “Most Comments”.

All other default sorting options seem to be fully functional except “New”.
