@noiob mac os has a lot of weird ui but this is the part i always understood the least

@halcy @noiob i guess you could also just cp it from there using your terminal or use copy and paste if you're so inclined

@tom @noiob well I mean, I have heard of drag and drop but whenever i see this screen I imagine a random boomer off the street being sat in front of that vs one being sat in front of the same screen but there's simply a huge "install" button which does the same thing, and I suspect that one will figure out faster how to install an application than the other

maybe not by _much_, mind you, both ways here are perfectly sensible and you can intuit them but why use the one that is worse, even just a bit worse, and also have potential issues on touchpads and with accessibility? when you could, just not?

@halcy @tom I would like to reiterate that this is a folder with the program in it, not an installer. They just give you a softlink to your applications folder for convenienc

@halcy @tom also drag and drop on touchpads is fine, remember, we're talking Apple touchpads
