Is there some way to disable macOS Tahoe's Finder's enormously spaced grid that prevents moving icons where I want them? Even at smallest grid setting, placing near edge of screen pushes icons to the neighboring display! It's ridiculous and bad.

A video posted last night by the President of the United States on his own social media platform.

( I have marked it as 'graphic media' so as not to jar the unprepared. )

The opening day at the Maryland Renaissance Festival was wonderful - perfect weather, nice crowd, and just an awesome time.

My favorite event of the year!
