The tiers are $50/$100/$500 a month with a goal of $5000 per month to spend half of his free time on development. For a markdown editor? I see most Patreons with tiers around $3/$5…

This is the last straw for me as well. I only used Google for search and never had an account anyway, so it's not even a hassle. Their results are slightly better than DuckDuckGo, …

A quarter of the US population isn't common? Not to mention entire countries with limited connections.

Javascript required for text rendering is incredibly poor design. For those of us with limited connections, I turn off Javascript because I don't want to download 10MB of Javascrip…

We need our personal websites to start linking directly to each other again… friends, coworkers, mentors, related topics, etc… This trend died out, it used to be on practically eve…

The device needs a factory reset. Deleting the Files app itself does nothing, even though this warns you that all associated data will be deleted. Which is unsurprising at this poi…

Beware: don't share dot files with the Files app. I tried to sync a git directory and now my Files app is filled with several hundred git object files (bf13ee59588b878f1d780c5cc8cd…

I had the equivalent model of these about ten years ago, no complaints. IEMs will have better sound quality than regular headphones. There was more cord noise, from what I remember…

It doesn't work in Safari, either. I don't use any ad blockers, and it states that I need to disable my ad blocker to continue. These types of news/mag websites seem dead set on re…

I get it, for some people it doesn’t matter. There is zero difference between xfce (Gnome, Windows, etc) and MacOS. But for some people, they have used MacOS since OS X 1.0 (or for…

It's frustrating because it's the "least worst" option. I use MacOS because it has a thoughtful, consistent, coherent, beautiful user interface and desktop environment. The things …

Maybe some hardware/carrier configurations have less problems? All I can say is, in the past 15+ years of SMS messaging, in the US, on every carrier, with devices ranging from the …

SMS has always been unreliable. It has no place in modern communications. No delivery confirmation: messages silently drop and the recipient is unaware you attempted to message the…

https://ranchero.com/netnewswire/ NetNewsWire 5 just released for MacOS. I believe it's also coming to iOS eventually.

If anyone is looking for a quick comparison of Atom and RSS formats: http://www.intertwingly.net/wiki/pie/Rss20AndAtom10Compared#... I would also encourage Atom over RSS, the speci…

I recently got tired of streaming, and started collecting music the "old" way and rebuilding my library. Bandcamp has been awesome for this. $10 for a DRM-free album in Flac is per…

Here's an idea, how about spending time and effort on something that's an actual priority.

The interface overhaul is a huge accomplishment. I suspect adoption will grow considerably. The previous interface conventions were unusual and clumsy, and were the primary barrier…

Linode is good. DigitalOcean is fine, too. I find some of their distro tooling to have annoying and longstanding bugs that never get fixed, though. I eventually moved all my server…

There's also a terminal incantation to input a text file and output a multi-hour long sound file of the entire document processed with text-to-speech. It's about what you'd expect …

> It's a fucking nuisance It's also a monumental waste of resources: process trees for paper, process inks, print the spam, ship spam to distribution center, ship spam to local dis…

> USB-C are a mess Apple doesn't support USB-C adoption themselves, look at the cables included in all of their peripherals and the iOS lineup. They are all USB-A. Everything they …

Reiterating your point, the area is uninhabitable on a timescale of thousands of years. Some estimates are at 20,000 years. The timeline of that region being poisonous extends so f…

Wow, it is listed... I wonder what the root cause is for all of these problems with the MBP line. For the record, I have exchanged my 2018 MBP twice (so far) because of multiple di…
