Oh yeah, considering the amount needed to level up & the amount they gained, they probably gained a few levels with that single fight

You can customize the colors & themes. I go with dark mode with dark tones & there is no multicolor things like you're complaining about

The terminal is pretty vanilla, you can customize it but it looks like any terminal by default

~~You can't turn off blur AFAIK, but it's never been distracting to me.~~ It's probably where you get the idea of multicolor things though -- some apps (and by some I mean apple default apps) have a very slight transparency with a strong blur, so if the windows/background behind said app is colorful, it will be somewhat visible through that app

Edit: You can turn off transparency in accessibility settings

When I say "can't be turned off" I mean "can't be turned off officially", but as all things with macos there will be some paid & OSS solutions to tweak the behavior of the OS to your needs.

I like my mac pretty vanilla yet I do use some of those behavior-tweaking apps such as

  • Copyclip
    • clipboard history, free, can be installed outside the app store if you want
  • MiddleTouch
    • paid, allows the use of the fn key + click to perform a scroll click (some apps are barely useable by me without this behavior)
  • Scroll Reverser
    • allows setting different scroll behaviors between mouse & trackpad (default setting has inverted vertical scroll, OK for touchpads, terrible for mouse -- it has no split settings)
  • noTunes
    • prevent the opening of Apple Music app on ▶️ key press (annoying behavior when pausing & starting music play)

You should also install Brew, the unofficial macos package manager, to install command line utilities and other packages

You can check the territorial claims of the Republic of China ("Taiwan") under the selector "Show map of Taiwan (dark green) with ROC Mainland Area and historical claims (light green)"

The map is not quite up to date as it still shows the ROC as claiming Taiwan, despite formally granting independance in 2002 (source)

Because that's a history question. "Taiwan" is not a country, it's a province of the Republic of China (ROC), which was the government of China before the communist revolution. They fled to Taiwan but their constitution etc still define them as the Republic Of China, with territorial claims over all of China

Here is an article specifically on that exact topic

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan_Area

Edit: The main "Taiwan" wikipedia article also has a map that can be selected under the label "Show map of Taiwan (dark green) with ROC Mainland Area and historical claims (light green)"

They have their own singular drawback with being a stain on the environment.

Seriously, just get a bidet

Well yeah, w11 has no selling point, that's why they're forcing you to switch by removing support by autumn 2025

I have the exact same experience, from lack of inner monologue to aphantasia. Funnily enough, when I'm on the verge of falling asleep, I can sometimes conjure images, but that's the only way I'm able to

Well it is becoming harder...

TIL! I'm a dev so I know what they're called but I never bothered to check why that is

Yep, they didn't dismiss his case because they thought it was fair to write him up like they did, they dismissed it because he "only" got written up and his reaction was to quit & sue

 

This new bill, signed into law by President Joe Biden, includes a provision that limits access to gender-affirming care services for the children of people serving in the military.

 

HE IS NOT A MOUSE

Description: This is a screenshot of the "Stuart Little" Wikipedia. The excerpt reads "A boy named Stuart is born to an ordinary family in New York City. He is normal in every way except that he is only just over two inches (5 cm) tall and looks exactly like a mouse"
