Yeah the extra frames do nothing in my text editor. The only part of your typical gaming display I want in a work/daily driver monitor is adaptive sync to reduce video judder and t…

Ahh yeah, SwiftUI isn’t fully baked yet unfortunately, particularly on macOS. I’m just now starting to use it in significant capacities in iOS projects and haven’t yet started on M…

I’m assuming this was built with AppKit? If so, yeah AppKit has some warts, and it isn’t all that well documented. That’s how it’s been since I got started with it back in the earl…

It's been getting better in the past decade but similarly, one of the papercuts of the Linux desktop experience that used to bug me was how you could kinda feel the numerous layers…

The majority of my usage of ChatGPT as a dev has been to synthesize examples of APIs/tools/etc in usage when those aren't easy to find and/or when documentation is sparse/scarce.

I think what scares a lot of people is the prospect of maintaining a server, configuring it to be secure and keeping it up to speed with security updates. With a cloud product, the…

Despite the major ground that AMD has gained in the CPU space in the past few years, I think it's still somewhat seen as the less mainstream of the two x86 CPUs, and I suspect that…

The effectiveness of this sort of lockdown is questionable anyway, because the cat's already out of the bag and there's no getting it back in. Same for Reddit. The bulk of the data…

It's a bit surprising that something like this didn't start happening sooner. It's not as if one can expect to mosey through the territory of large intelligent land predators compl…

The History Channel getting gutted was so disappointing. I loved shows like Modern Marvels that'd do deep dives into the history of various everyday things.

My first inclination is that embedded ads happen because individual creators are having difficulty wrestling the algorithm to funnel enough views and subscribers their way and beca…

YouTube has gotten progressively worse with its ads over time, though. They're slowly turning up the heat to eventually boil the frog. Without opposition, YouTube ads will eventual…

Back when I still watched cable which was ~14 years ago at my parents' house, I used a TiVo to do so partially because it allowed me to skip ads (the other reason being so I could …

This doesn't really affect me since I subscribe to premium, but something that a lot of ad-based services don't seem to grasp is why people block ads. It's because they've become i…

I’d love to have a Fairphone as a dev test device but yep, they don’t sell in NA. It seems to be a common thread with interesting phones… back when there was still some buzz around…

I ran CalyxOS on my Pixel 3XL and while it delivers on the privacy focus, I think most users would find it too irritating for long term usage. I ended up replacing it with Pixel Ex…

Jobs was a lot more charismatic and had a much more massive presence on the stage and in the public eye, which goes a long way. He was also much more of a product guy, and I think …

> Might be longer term but I think the new macbook pros don't have the same quality feel as the old ones. “Old ones” being? I used to own a 2015 15” MBP and currently have both a 2…

I personally like to remap caps lock to control or use a keyboard that has that layout by default. I never use caps lock and it makes control-based shortcuts more ergonomic.

Yeah I don't see too much issue in using generative art for more trivial things, like some banner art to sit atop a blogpost or something. Placeholders also seem like a really good…

Apple went out of their way to add the ability to boot third party operating systems to M-series macs, which the Asahi Linux team has been using to build a Linux distro tailored to…

The main thing that feels like it could use work is the lack of adequately capable primitives/widgets. Many are plain missing while others are too basic/limited.

I too use Obsidian for my personal things that feel too important to not always have up to date local copies of. It works well. Haven’t yet found anything I’m missing compared to N…

Absolutely. When I’m using Notion I feel like I have to be hyperaware of how I interact with the page as to not unintentionally edit something. A little editor/reader toggle button…

Really cool, seem like it'd make styling responsive pages considerably more easy. It's interesting that CSS has been moving forward at a rapid pace to make extra tooling (LESS, Sas…
