New Bumbershoot post, in which I revel in my ignorance

Using the filesystem to control UI elements without using some symlink like feature seems silly.
08:42
<&[R]>
Reading the OS X diary
08:51
<&McMartin>
Classic Mac OS, being Insanely Great (tm), did not bother with symlinks
08:51
<&McMartin>
That's filthy Windows 95 stuff
08:52
<&McMartin>
(You didn't have *have to* use symlinks for the 9x/XP/Vista/7 start menus, but it was a *pretty good idea* to.)
08:53
<&McMartin>
But yeah, even now, in macOS, Launchpad's list of UI elements is constructed directly from the contents of /Applications and those are the raw app bundles themselves, right there.
08:58
< Vorntastic_>
Classic Mac had "aliases" which were.. Not quite shortcuts
08:59
<&McMartin>
Shortcuts themselves were not quite symlinks, so~
09:10
< Vorntastic_>
Indeed
09:20
<&[R]>
Right, which makes the way it sounds like they did it absolutely absurd, why not use aliases?
09:23
< Vorntastic_>
Partly because the standard method of installing an app on Mac iswas literally drag the app into the applications fooled
09:24

"Which is to say it's actually not all that great, the community is full of jerks with superiority complexes, the tutorial materials read like marketing, and terrible ideas are official recommendations.

<~Vornotron>
TF: I assume you've seen that somebody put out a campaign mod for SS1?
23:31
<&ToxicFrog>
Vornotron: yes, and I've started playing it
23:31
<&ToxicFrog>
Someone else on the same net has started work translating it into a new language, but the existing tools for that are...inadequate
23:32
<&ToxicFrog>
(most of this is happening on the Night Dive Studios discord server)
