Linux is also available
anyways, after scrolling through all of that stuff, it is not clear to me what the benefit of using this over normal task manager (or sysinternals tools) is, other than themes i guess?
perhaps it is better than whatever the native task management program is on mac?
"lots of words. not much substance".
Activity Monitor works well enough for me. But, damn, I'd rather visually parse top all day before I'd resign myself to gaze upon that hideous mess.
Because they use a screen reader and don't know any better.
And remember, the state of Washington sued the author for some very good reasons. I wouldn't let his stuff anywhere near my machines.

"Plummer left Microsoft in 2003[10] to start his own company, SoftwareOnline LLC, a software vendor. Plummer claimed that the company went on to sell millions of copies of first and third party utilities software for Windows.[16]
In 2006, SoftwareOnline was sued by The Washington State Attorney General's Office for alleged violations of the Consumer Protection Act after complaints were made about two products called "Registry Cleaner" and "InternetShield". SoftwareOnline agreed to pay $150,000 in civil penalties, plus $250,000 that was ultimately suspended following compliance with all terms in the settlement, as well as $40,000 in legal fees.[6] He also founded Xeriton Corporation during this period, whose major product was the Blue Phone technical support service.[17] In December 2009, Xeriton was sold to Support.com for $8.5 million.[18]"
Why do we need to tolerate this vibe coded slop?
We need a marker on posts which are complete AI generated rubbish.
What happened to the profession of software engineering? The craft and quality has been thrown out of the window in pursuit of slop.
We are disrespecting our own profession by turning the software we build into fast food junk where nobody wants anything we make and nobody cares about the quality and craft of creating software.
We are just building the same things repeatedly over and over again with nothing inventive or new, wasting engineering and the users time in the process.
AI has just shown how unimaginative some engineers are in choosing what problems in software to build and solve.
We need to do way better.
