Look how wiiide it’s become, full of so much gunk now. I could use spotlight for all these, which is telling why Apple is using it for promotion instead of being useful for the users. So much of this is redundant and promotional; I don’t want Apple TV, Apple Arcade, Apple maps, iPhone mirroring, all 3x of the phone and messages and FaceTime, or the Siri app on my dock.
I’ve come to thoroughly dislike the grind getting rid of them all with the dog slow animation each new Mac I set up.
How many Macs are you setting up? This is only a 1 minute chore…
Couldn't you set it up once and save the settings in a script to reapply to others?
I always set `static-only` via `defaults write com.apple.Dock`. Highly recommended...
