Any good app for browsing pixiv?

Install Homebrew and get cmus and a newer version of bash (or zsh if you're a fag). Get Firefox Nightly or Webkit Nightly as your browser. The best terminal emulator is iTerm2.

Sheepshaver Wrapper is also worth looking into if you're into running retro operating systems like Mac OS 8 or 9. Virtualbox is the best for x86 emulation but QEMU works best for stuff like PPC, SPARC, or ARM.

AppCleaner for uninstalling things
Spectacle for window snapping
Spark for email
Sidify (paid) if you're lazy and want to rip music from spotify
RightFont (paid) for better font management

Where do you guys get your pirated software?
http://www.macbed.com/ has worked just fine for me in the past.

Does anyone here remember this unintentional comedy gold?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QrX047-v-s (skip to 38:31 onwards for the real funny bits)

I can't update to the latest version of OSX because I'm running an old Macbook Pro from 2007 without battery so always connected.

Which new apps should I be looking at to keep on enjoying this machine?

>>60121835
>tfw being on the latest macOS version with a fucking thinkpad
The screen is still shit though.

>>60121827
holy hell

Amphetamine
Spectacle
AppCleaner
The Unarchiver
MPlayerX

Everything else is optional.

>Fish
Alternative terminal shell
>AppCleaner
Cleans out application support files when deleting apps
>Homebrew
Install *nix terminal applications
>ITerm 2
Replacement for Terminal.app
>cmus
Terminal music app. Very speedy when you learn the key commands.
>Pixelmator
Cheaper version of Photoshop. Gets the job done.
>Caffeine
Keeps computer on
>Alfred
Better alternative to Spotlight

>Homebrew
best package manager; combined with homebrew cask you can install basically anything that isn't a retro 2003 port of irssi in fortran
>Mpv
Video player. I'm sure you've seen the threads on /g/ for it. Find a good base config, tweak a bit, and never worry about playback again
>iterm2 3
honestly not necessary if you aren't a tiling power user, but the extra customization options and integrations are really handy
>Alfred
Launchbar. Open anything really fast. Snippets are a nice feature. Buy / "Buy" the powerpack and abuse the shit out of workflows; they're fantastic. I have ones for weather, timers, quick movie lookup, quiver, ssh, file upload, philips hue, and unit conversion. Also, the built in calculator and dictionary are fantastic.
>Spectacle
Window manager. Makes moving things and other window manipulations (size) a breeze.
>Airmail ($)
There's not a whole lot of good email clients for OSX, but airmail is one of the better ones. I also like Mailmate, but it's very much power-user oriented, and it costs many dollarydoos. Airmail is a lot more responsive than mail.app, and thunderbird/postbox use a lot more battery.
>Amphetamine
Menubar toggle to prevent screen from sleeping. It's the modern version of Caffeine which, while functional, is pretty old now, and lacks retina.
>Firefox
Safari is by far the best on battery (competition not event close), it's a mess of security holes, and it doesn't have much support for things you probably take for granted in Chrome/firefox/literally anything that isn't Safari. I like Firefox because Chrome drains battery like a mother, and I have a shitload of tabs at any given time that Firefox manages much better. Also much better for privacy, if that matters.
>The Unarchiver
Best unzip/rar/tar/etc utility

Less essential:
>Karabiner
Lets you bind keys contextually. For example, I have a bind set up that lets ctrl+hjkl function as arrow keys when the Alfred bar is on the screen.
>Textual
Only non-shit standalone IRC client. Free if you compile it yourself from its page on github. Weechat and irssi also available in homebrew.
>Bartender
Clean up the menu bar. Let you hide, show, and rearrange icons.
>TotalFinder
Adds a few convenient features to finder. The main one I use is dual-pane.
>Skim
Probably the best/fastest PDF viewer for OSX. I like sumatra more desu, but Skim is adequate. Works well with LaTeX.
>Flux
Remove blue from screen with your timezone. You don't really notice it that much, but if you turn it off at like 3 am you'll burn your eyes out.
>Deluge
My favorite OSX bit torrent client. I use it in thin mode with a remote server. A lot of people like transmission, but I find it lacking. Not to mention less secure if you're going to use public trackers.
>Newsbar
RSS/atom feed in a long vertical strip. Can add keywords to highlight specific items based on interest. I don't think many people use this, but I'm very glad I found it.
>Tweetbot
If you do the twitter. I don't really ever post on twitter, but it's great for live feed on interesting lists.
>nmac.to
Alternative to macbed and mac-torrent-download.

Gil was a nice guy but not Apple CEO material.

To his credit though he has done some good things throughout the career, other than Apple. For one he invented the CCD, the basis of all scanners, camcorders, and digital cameras.

>>60124745
Actually scratch that, he didn't invent the CCD but he did help test it

Fuck that. Install pkgsrc and do everything in terminal.app.

>Alfred

OP here, I'll admit I'm still a Mac baby, but I didn't notice any substantive difference between Alfred and Spotlight. Is there a functional difference or is it just autismo microsecond gains? Can I not see the power user for the trees?

>>60123956
Good point about Firefox, I've been using Safari just for ease of use, it's fast, lightweight, hard to not get comfortable with, despite it's obvious flaws. It's refreshing after doing the Firefox shuffle as each fork would go to shit/botnet/bloat and cycle into the next one.

Thanks for all the bumps shitposters, I'll have to wait for my iPhone8 to get in before I start guzzlin loads, but your support means a lot. I got this Mac (my first Applel product ever, actually) through an employee's discount, cut the price over half with full upgrades, would have been foolish not take a deal like that. >implying you can get better stats for $500.

I've been trying/researching most of the programs in this thread, thanks again everyone.

Apple needs to build into the OS a proper solution to uninstall apps, they could just add it to their Storage Management utility or better yet ask to delete other files associated with the app when dragging to the Trash.
Most people uninstall apps by dragging them to the trash and don't know that other large files related to the app stick around on the drive occupying space.

>>60126233
I was talking to a Mactard friend who was blown away when I told them that Apps instal files. Trying to explain how the Windows concept of 'Program Files', truly may be Toddlers.

Ah fuck. Don't make me want to go back to macOS. I spent one year with it and forced myself to switch, now I'm feeling no different from someone who has to use a different OS than Windows and got used to games.

>>60124099
Still waiting for that one reason

>>60126090
> Alfred
Alfred is more powerful than Spotlight. Spotlight can only search for and open documents and programs. Alfred can do so much more: open, move, delete files, search the web, hold text snippets, automate pretty much anything at all.

Literally the first thing I install on a wiped Mac.

>>60126770
