I personally keep it all (on iMessage) as a bit of personal history. Trying to see conversations I had with friends and family around fun/important events, searching to see if I ev…

Even when I was a new user right as Reader was getting started, I didn't think it was clunky to be honest. I thought it was clear when I was using one vs. the other. The only probl…

Discord is really awful about this, and that's one of the many reasons I dislike it. Its defaults are bad. I should be able to set, at the account level, the default that servers d…

I'm helping with sound for a production taking place in the aughts, and I'd love to use an actual mobile phone OS to capture the sound from the interface for what the characters ar…

I use Apple Maps for all of my transit needs, but I still keep Google for business data and lists like this. I don't find the Apple Maps list set-up to be what I want from this kin…

When I was in college, my roommate (also a music student) and I would scream about how frustrated we were with Finale for notating out music. Reading the [review and seeing GIF exa…

We got a new video system at a work that is a bit beyond my knowledge, but the files it puts out are very big (read the Apple ProRes whitepaper to figure out which option on this s…

I think the phrase used here quite often is "security through obscurity" when it comes to links. The question is whether people feel comfortable with family photos falling under th…

I was unaware there was copypasta on HN. I know this might be generally the sort of post that the site wants to avoid, but the phenomenon of copypasta within a given community stil…

For what it's worth, you can move Markdown -> Typst by way of Pandoc.

> 4. It seems very unlikely that the keys would literally be chosen out of a hat. IME of these kinds of exams there's no need for randomness. Students tend to be asked for the less…

For the curious: There’s an API built into Mastodon to save timeline location on your account. Ivory is planning to support it, doesn’t currently, however it does save timeline loc…

Out of every tool I’ve ever used to make a .docx file from Markdown, Pandoc is the only one that has consistent results with converting Markdown headers to Word styles rather than …

> A lot of companies would be really upset at Google if this happened There's lot of projects that Google has killed for which this is the case, though. Stadia had people building …

Part of the reason on iOS it takes longer, at least in my vault set-up, to begin throwing in a new note is that Obsidian has to finish syncing and show me notifications (that I wis…

Been using it for a few days now, and my biggest hope is that it gets a dedicated Mac app. I've been a bit disappointed with it so far in Unite. Maybe if I picked up Coherence it w…

nvALT was one of my "gateway" apps into really finding my happy place. Before nvALT I thought Apple Notes was sufficient for me. It really revealed to me what things I wanted to be…

I agree that removing 3D Touch makes text editing worse (presumably — my XS Max still has it and I’ll discover this fall), but if you step back, hopefully you can understand its re…

Some time around 2016 or so, shortly after getting my first Mac, I started using this. It became my default audio/video player in less than a day.

I’m actually quite adept at my iPhone keyboard — one of many reasons I prefer the larger-sized phones. But I’m both actually faster (a solid 30 extra wpm) and feel less constrained…

Because those wonderful jingles made it so appealing! And keep you coming back for the "phone plan that can!"

They haven't done the best job with rolling this out, but as someone who has had a Wordpress.com Personal blog (and dreamt of moving elsewhere now and again) this new plan is VERY …

I direct five bands across 8 grades and deal with a lot of events off-site. I’ve got parent contacts to make about logistics, supplies to manage for the band, instruments to help s…

> The next update to Swift Playgrounds is supposed to allow full iOS app development… May or may not be pedantry, but it’s not allowing the UIKit APIs, only SwiftUI. Still possible…
