Since when does macOS have edge-snap? I just found it by chance…

I’ve tried it with QuickLook and Finder windows, even without zooming, and works the same…

#TIL #TodayILearned #macOS #Sonoma #EdgeSnap

16 seconds video recording of macOS Sonoma showing two overlapping windows: a Safari Window occupying around 60% of the left part of the screen, and a small notes window partially on top of it. Behind, there is a Desktop with several folders and files, and the default macOS Sonoma desktop. The cursor moves to the green button of the notes window, and (while pressing the Option key) shows a menu for making the notes window occupy 50% to the right of the Window. Then, the mouse clicks on the Safari window, and then moves to the edge. It drags the right edge to the left until the Window no longer covers it, then leaving some breathing room. Then the edge is pulled to the right, and when it arrives to the edge of the Notes window, it does not move further, while the mouse cursor does… until it suddnely moves further away to follow the mourse cursor, obscuring the Notes window. It then drags again to the left, so that the Notes window can be again seen in full, and then gives some more margin, and then tries again with the same result: the edge of the Safari window snaps to the Notes window, until the mouse drag cursor moves too much further right, and then the edge follows again the mouse cursor.

Quobna Ottobah Cugoano était un esclave affranchi d’origine ghanéenne, figure de la lutte abolitionniste.

Son ouvrage "Thoughts and Sentiments on the Evil of Slavery" (1787) ferait de lui le premier auteur anti-esclavagiste noir.

Conférence de Jennifer Pitts, Collège de France, 14 mai 2024 :
"Les Lumières et l’esclavage : Cugoano, Condorcet et les débats sur l’abolition à la veille de la Révolution"

apropos of nothing, just have to get this off my chest: call it victim-blaming if you must, but even a simple maritime fisherman should suspect that anyone who tells you you're gonna be getting american gold without firing a shot is a straight up scammer
