googled "open source mac dock replacement" and the first result was a r*ddit thread looking for exactly my needs. top comment: bro mac os is just ~different~ go back to windows if you can't adapt :} OP: I don't have that choice negative three karma.
sidenote does anyone know of a replacement for the mac os dock, or a way of making the mac os dock a bit less shit without disabling system integrity protection or paying money
note: i'm not a stingy git, but i'm also not paying money to correct usability issues in an OS i didn't choose to use. i don't use mac os outside of work x:
