    I love this suggestion (and hope the OP implements it), but in the meantime, there is a link button on the toolbar right next to the palette that provides a link to the generated p…

    This is fantastic, and I will definitely use it for personal projects in the future! I see a few requests for practical features here, but I have one incredibly silly request: how …

    Just to clarify, 34” 21:9 is the same height (and pixel density) as 27” 16:9 - and it’s definitely just on the cusp of noticeably not-pixel-dense when editing text, but I can see h…

    That's totally fair! I'm still waiting on Linux to get its act together with fractional scaling, but until then, Mac works fantastic for my work with its fancy brand of fractional …

    Eh, the only "ugh" thing about that new Alienware monitor, to me, is the low resolution - 1440p at 27"/34"? No thank you, 2160p or better + fractional scaling just looks so much be…

    Guess it's time to change the `0` in that cronjob to a `*/12`.

    Heh, my time with Linux was before then, I think - but only by a couple of years. I do recall having some fun experimenting with StarCraft and NFS: Hot Pursuit (the og 1998 version…

    Updating FreshTomato has never cleared out my settings, is it possible your install is broken? Manual updates don't bother me, personally, but wifi throughput is definitely a pain …

    I'd personally recommend FreshTomato[0] over OpenWRT, as it has a more approachable UI, is still open-source, and (in my experience) tends to run a bit smoother while needing less …

    To be fair to OP, Apple makes it dead easy to see how much the IAPs are for a given app (in the case of this one, $2.49 monthly or $24.99 yearly).
