I switched from Windows a few years ago, and I had the hardest time getting used to moving/maximizing/resizing windows on Mac.

Not sure if that’s what you mean, but if so then “Rectangle” solved all my window management problems, so much so I bought the pro version almost immediately.

If you’re talking about MacOS, I’ve been using Maccy for this

You’ll find a lot of Italian chefs used julienned mozzarella/fior di latte, or batons, rather than big circular slices. There’s no firm rule that I’m aware of!

That said, trying to grate fresh mozzarella, instead of low moisture mozzarella (like is generally used on non-Italian style pizzas), would likely leave you with a big wet smeary mess.

I make a dozen large pizzas a week (I do a weekly pizza night for our small cottage bakery) and I cut my fior di latte into strips, then let them dry out a bit, covered on a wire rack in the fridge overnight before using.

Oh heck, you know what I just looked it up and I think I’m completely wrong. I don’t know where I heard that or why it stuck. They’re owned by taxhawk which appears to still be independent. I’ll amend my original comment

Me too! Unfortunately I believe they were bought by Intuit a while back, so I fully expect them to start sucking or disappear soon

Edit: Okay I think I was operating on faulty information/memory, or just bullshit. Disregard, sorry

As someone who used primarily windows for 20+ years, used the surface pro line from the 1st through 7th iterations, and now only runs with a MacBook Air, I would say absolutely get the cheapest M1 Air you can find.

If she’s not a heavy user and is just doing word processing and light computing, it will be vastly more than enough machine, and be best in class in the most important things I can think of when thinking about a laptop for a writer:

1. nice big, bright, high res display for crisp text and easy reading/writing

2. insane amounts of battery life for writing in cafes or libraries or wherever for probably longer than she could stand to work in any given day

3. nicely portable and discreet for carrying around to places where she can write

4. decent keyboard and possibly the best laptop trackpad around for ergonomics (such as they are, in a laptop)

Getting used to MacOS will take a few days at most, and there are plenty of free/Foss apps to improve quality of life for Windows users moving to macs.

I was going to suggest this too. A magnetic white board on a conspicuous wall in a common space. It’s what my wife and I use for her cottage food business. Whiteboard marker, post-its, or notes affixed by magnets.

Thanks! Although I’m using Android; and since I need aliases with mailbox.org anyway, presumably I have that covered with K-9. For MacOS I’m happy with the default Mail client anyhow; it’s nice enough to hold all my stuff that isn’t browser based.

Their web client seemed kind of crappy, but usable at least, if I remember right. Not often I need to log in from a computer that I don’t own, but once in a while it comes in handy.

Could you elaborate on what features are missing? I’m currently using mailbox.org as an email host, but considering swapping over to iCloud+

Thank you for this post; there’s a lot of this that I didn’t know, and I’ve always had a vague anti-PETA sentiment without really knowing why.

I have both (they both can coexist peacefully on the same library). I use jellyfin for any watching on my phone or computer.

However, where jellyfin still really kind of falls apart is when casting to my Chromecast. Controls don’t work, subtitles are unpredictable or missing, and it’s just generally a mess.

So I use Plex for casting, and jellyfin for everything else. I bought a Plex lifetime pass ages ago, so it’s an easy call to just have them both running.

This will change the behavior.

What’s the shrimp substitute you like?

If you’re looking for a chrome-adjacent experience but with way more flexibility, I’ve been really enjoying Vivaldi over brave
