Except when Github’s down, of course. I’m saying it’s incomprehensible to me that people would rather put their trust into an organization as enshittified as Microsoft where they g…

Why? Like I wrote in a separate comment, it's not a mail server, it's a Postgres database, a Golang app, and backups (and some providers will just handle that for you!)

Except it's not down more often and it's not a heavy lift. It's not a mail server, it's a Postgres database, a Golang app, and backups (and some providers will just handle that for…

I've never understood this argument. Even if self-hosted things were offline more often (which I've never found to be the case, I've had Forgejo + runners running for a year now wi…

While you're 100% correct, I'm not holding my breath on that remaining infrastructure being available anytime soon. I was expecting, at the very least, to see Apple make their App …

It's probably very obvious by now, but there's something to be said about companies with the "SF Quirky" vibes: - The OS Redesign - "Sexy Legal Documents" - Emails with " " as the …

I'm extremely glad to see something like this. I've tried to use Zed so many times, and this might sound neurotic -- but there are just so many little theming things that make a di…

App Clips -- very underutilized but also very cool. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appclip

I'm failing to see why they didn't just adopt Private Access Tokens (not that they're great either), where they could have at least: - pretended that it wasn't all about invading p…

I remember when I was in high school (2016? 2017?), I found a super simple XSS in the assignment submission form and told the programming teacher. Canvas then proceeded to lock my …

God I hope that's included. As silly as it sounds, having NFC inside passes require a custom entitlement/approval from Apple was my breaking point for ditching iOS development alto…
