This is quite possibly the most pointless item posted to this blog to date (all right, competition is tough there), but I’m so ecstatic I can’t contain it (yea, I have no life):<\/p>\n
Safari<\/a> apparently received a minor update in the last OS X package (the ones that gets downloaded and installed quasi-silently through the Update manager), and they have finally fixed the “Undo bug”!<\/p>\n Retarded as it may sound, especially to those people who still think MSIE is a real browser and have never experienced the luxury of Safari browsing with font anti-aliasing (much the way of psychoactive substances, sorry to say that you just cannot understand if you’ve never tried. trust me), there was a quasi-bug in Safari that prevented the use of the Undo command when editing text in a form. Which basically meant any long text (blog entry, comment etc) had<\/em> to be typed somewhere else, and copy-pasted at the end (ever had a full 50-line entry disappear forever because you mistakenly selected the whole text and typed over it? I have). Or using Firefox, if you don’t mind the absence of anti-aliasing goodness<\/a>.<\/p>\n But the Bug has been fixed.<\/p>\n You can now hit Apple-Z to fix any mistake you make when typing entire novels in a tiny web form.<\/p>\n This is awesome.<\/p>\n I am so<\/em> not ironic on this one, for once.<\/p>\n Even better: it does multiple-undo\/redo (I guess that’s quite the standard for applications nowadays). Basically, give me multiple undo in all<\/em> applications, throw in a similar thing to do multiple copy\/paste (I depend<\/em> on copy\/paste: no short-term memory whatsoever, too much drugs) and I’ll be content with OS technology not making a single other step forward for the rest of this decade…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is quite possibly the most pointless item posted to this blog to date (all right, competition is tough there), but I’m so ecstatic I can’t contain it (yea, I have no life): Safari apparently received a minor update in the last OS X package (the ones that gets downloaded and installed quasi-silently through the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"activitypub_content_warning":"","activitypub_content_visibility":"","activitypub_max_image_attachments":4,"activitypub_interaction_policy_quote":"anyone","activitypub_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1,17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-857","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-geek","category-insignificant-details"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/857","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=857"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/857\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=857"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
