ROFL! An incompetent individual couldn't have provided you with spot on
information concerning your laptop; going by nothing more than a single
picture of it that you shared here. Watch that asshat mouth of yours,
please. :) I think I've earned a little more respect from you than
that, eh?
It was a throw-away laptop that a mate gave me because Charity shops
here won't accept electrical items.
I have no present interest in visiting it because you're specifically
asking me to and you aren't being forthcoming with the why. As in, why
aren't you asking, Snit, or Tim, or Mike E, or SC? Is it because you
want something specific done? If so, what might that specific thing be
that would require my attention over that of the others I mentioned,
David?
I've asked Snit. He doesn't know how to 'read between the lines' like
you do.
If you agree with what snit writes about me, then why didn't you say
that in the emails? Why did you praise me for the skills you checked me
out as having in those emails? Hmm? C'mon David, be honest for once.
You accused me of fucking with your friends network. I haven't seen you
accuse anyone else of that. Just me. Is it because of a particular set
of skills I have that you've always known I'm NOT bsing about? Could it
be that reason you tried to roll that story over me, David? I did NOT
mess with your friends network, btw. I really didn't!
Perhaps Steve was having a little joke with me. I'll never know now.
Please post up the last one of that series of emails I sent to you
way-back.
Just be honest, David. Tell the audience what you actually know about
me, what you actually know I can do. Go ahead. If you're honest, and
not trying to pull another snit, I might visit the site that you're to
quote snit 'begging me' to give my attention to. How about that for a
deal, David?
Sure.
Agreeable? Or, are you just too invested with your buddies now to be
completely honest concerning me?
I like EVERYONE to be honest.
Naturally, I wouldn't expect either of them
to agree with what you say, especially if your completely honest about
it. but, it would be nice to see YOU honest for once concerning me. I
know, too much to ask for, hell will freeze over first. I have a better
chance of winning the lottery, etc.
And that's okay, I'd rather not do anything that does, or could in the
future, benefit you at this point anyway. OK.
I've told you *SO* many times!!! What I try to do is *NOT* for my
personal benefit but for ALL Internet users.

Anyone noticed Unison playing up on Monterey? Having set up this 2017

When Unison has quit in the past I usually simply click the Dock icon
again (because that's -slightly- quicker than waiing for the
Reopen/Ignore/Quit pop-up) so can't be sure the dupe hasn't popped up
before.
Just installed Unison 2.2 on my M1 Mac. I'll let you know if it misbehaves! >>
Getting the occasional quit but haven't seen the double icon in the
dock (yet). BTW I'm running macOS Sonoma 14.4 on this M1 MBP. My 2017
Intel MBA runs Monterey so I could try testing Unison on that tomorrow.

Installed Unison on the MBA as promised and yes I get the occasional
crash when opening unread message but again no duplicated icon in the
dock. So maybe consider Usenapp although there are others that will
work, e.g. Hogwasher.
.
Mine just crashed again trying to open this message! Yes, I used
Hogwasher for a few years. 'Something' happened (can't remember what)
and it stopped working for a while
(as did Unison at one point). I've
switched between the two on and off for 15 years or more. I bought a
licence for Hog but it's won't work with the new(er) v.5 (and v.4 is
32bit). Never mind. Unison 'mostly works' and I've got NewsTap on my iDevices. Thanks for having a look!

If I use Pages or Numbers and close all the windows, the program automatically quits when I switch to another program. This used to be seen
as
a rather ungainly Windoze thing – when did Apple start doing it?

That's not happening with Pages here (version 13.0, Sonoma 14.3).
Nor here. Interesting question!
With the latest version of Pages it's reverted, and no longer quits when all the windows are shut. Numbers, however, still does quit.

Sounds a bit like the behaviour of the old Automatic Termination feature
that was introduced in OS X 10.7. It required developer opt-in to work,
and the only apps that ever really used it were Preview and Textedit.

If that's still a thing in macOS, and I've no idea if it is, then there
used to be a defaults command to turn it off:
defaults write -g NSDisableAutomaticTermination -bool yes
Excuse my (probable) ignorance but would an app in this zombie state still show up via a ps command? If so, a kill command ought to close it down. I guess a restart will sort things out but that seems a bit of a sledgehammer technique!
