What's unfortunate about those components is that they are in fact part of the dev environment. I really wish they were fully contained in the project and then dynamically loaded along with it. GetIt ever so slightly improved the situation, but still. At this point basically nothing else could get me to ever upgrade anymore. Lazarus doesn't do any better, but there at least you could vendor the entire IDE.

Care to share your specific setup/workflow? I'd be interested.

Now that's a question I'd feel more confident having answered by an LLM. Personally, I'm tired of arguing with "nothing to hide", which (no offense) is just terribly naive these days.

I don't know, but I would never upload such sensitive information to a service like that (local models FTW!) or trust the numbers.

While I like this approach as well, these URLs ending up in the browser history isn’t ideal. Autocomplete when just trying to go to the site causes some undesired state every now and then. Maybe query params offer an advantage over paths here.

Mixed feelings about this. The apps were great and it's always uncomfortable when the future becomes uncertain due to a big acquisition. So far, it seems it could've gone worse. Their business model makes sense. I like that everything got integrated now, because Photo, Designer and Publisher being separate with so much overlap didn't feel natural. Hate the new logo, though... Some elegance was definitely lost.

There's this Silicon app that scans your disk for them: https://github.com/DigiDNA/Silicon.

Very unfortunate how from json lazy import dumps would result in backward compatibility issues. It reads much better and makes it easier to search for lazy imports, especially if in the future something else becomes optionally lazy as well.

In the same vein, I'd name Tornado (www.tornadoweb.org). Also rather small and comprehensible, but with full async support that's evolved extremely nicely. Generally I love how well-designed and maintained it is.

Keep in mind that the old SE was still being sold by Apple until just a year and a half ago (discontinued in Sep 2018). Generally, their devices can be expected to be supported for several years after they were newly purchased. I would be quite surprised if iOS 14 drops it, and have some hope for the release after that even.

True; that's the only subscription model I find acceptable for software that hardly changes in meaningful ways. For example, I refuse to upgrade Git Tower to version 3 as a protest against fournova's new licensing. Up to that point, I was a loyal customer and product advocate, basically buying every upgrade anyway, but by my own choice. Instead, I'll be on version 2 "forever", despite all its flaws. It was even worse for Windows users, who bought licenses (on my advice, sometimes...) for a thing that realistically speaking never came out of beta. To have a usable product to begin with, they suddenly needed to pay for a subscription. There was zero response to my email explaining this, so there's that. Now I'm keeping my eyes open for alternatives.
