Elecom gives them a run for their money thumb ball wise in my experience.


Steermouse fills this gap brilliantly. Covers every device I’ve ever tried and I have some significant exotics.


FWIW you can do it for “all apps” in one go — I set one up for printing to PDF and it works great


You can't do that because the design of the whole system is dumb - instead of matching by unique (within the app) universal (=across apps) menu item id like "quit" that's hardcoded into the framework, you must match by menu item displayed name "quit Safari", which is different for every "quit MyNewShinyApp"

PS: and sometimes the name string is also dynamic "Navigate to the latest folder named XYZ", so you can't match at all!


Excellent article really enjoyed it.


Yeah, this is the kind of thing that makes me really enjoy the internet.


Thought provoking critiques of recent implantations. Number 2 seems like a catch-22 though — how does the group with agency identify their own blind spots?


I would recommend if anything a life-experiences checklist of the team collectively. Did any of them hail from rural poverty? Urban poverty? Did they attend a fancy dinner party? Were or are they disabled in some way? Can they read? Did they do factory work? Customer service work? Did any not go to colllege? Did they go to college?

All those questions build a picture of perspectives they may have missed. The real hard part is figuring out which ones are germane to the circumstances involved. Books not being accessible to the illiterate should have gaps and even collectively you should expect a career bias.

An auto engineering team may or may not have anybody with factory floor experience but all will have worked in the auto industry. They would be expected to be more familiar with the terms by necessity. Thus they may need external focus groups to jusge ledgibility to outsiders.

I think such a wide-ranging exercise is likely to waste time and not help the team's performance. It might serve some other purpose, but improving team performance is not it.

An auto engineering team with some guy who used to work on the factory floor is exactly the kind of diversity that I think would actually improve team performance.


My impression is that the question is whether “business” in this instance refers to the Yellowpages company itself, or the companies that make up their customers base.


Yes, and my read is that "business" was internal to Yellowpages.


Damaging USAID irreparably damages the US soft power around the globe. As Elon’s businesses are not limited to US borders, I wonder if there is perhaps a bigger picture here.


FWIW, this is now possible albeit with a third party app: https://github.com/sbmpost/AutoRaise


Proper focus-follows-mouse does not autoraise the window when it gives it focus. I see that that app does offer "don't raise the window" (which I think is an improvement from last time I was researching this some years back), but only under an "experimental feature" flag that relies on undocumented private macos APIs that might go away in any future macos version...


FWIW wBlock is on GitHub and can be used without an Apple account. I’ve found it to be excellent.


Lossless Cut is free, open source, and very simple to use. Highly recommend. Wayyyyy lighter than screen flow.


Lossless Cut is a 300 Mb Electron app, not exactly light. But it does its job.
