Genuinely surprised to be just over 10k too! Felt late!
No idea how my two character handle made it through… Probably the wrong thread to ask anyone at GH to allow me to block notifications anytime anyone mentions "@ts" but I've come to accept it at this point, lol.
I don't often (err, ever…) reply without reading further but this time I must, because: I've never heard this turn of phrase "useless use of cat" and it turned my brain upside-down for a moment, because: "interactive" is precisely how I learn and do and I suppose it was a nice reminder that sometimes really big (read: useless) things are actually kinda small (useful) and vice versa.
Honestly been a Mac user since I could be defined as a user and I'm still yet to install iTerm over Terminal.app, so I'm curious: who is this for, really?
I've had the same thought re: iOS/macOS clients. Oh how I would love to dive into those small codebases and add some simple QOL stuff. I've been watching but they don't seem to be adding any Apple-platforms focused roles/people, which is fine, but I wanna work at Tailscale…
For what it's worth, the "sometimes forget I have it running and then I browse on mobile away from home and get bombarded with ads" bothered me enough personally to attempt to smooth it over. Ended up using Tailscale DNS so that every device on my tailnet/VPN benefits. It was painless and has been solid for ~4mo now.
> I too miss that sort of whimsy and playfulness–I don’t think it’s inherently incompatible with modern expectations of professionalism/accessibility/security but it definitely seems to have been lost from most software these days.
Agreed completely but every now and then it still pops up. Recently, Notchmeister [0]
Couldn't agree more if I wanted to. I've long used the 30" Cinema displays as they were trivial to find used for pennies. I spent a week mulling over the Studio display as it's nearly what I'd been hoping for. Found a Thunderbolt display (+ 2018 Mac mini) for a couple hundred dollars locally. My only annoyance is that I can't use the MagSafe connector built into the display cable…
I'm sure this is possible with yabai, but I still haven't yet migrated from slate [1]. I have multiple custom layouts similar to what you've mentioned and can trigger them with hotkeys or when specific display combinations are detected.
Interesting! I've been using this casually on iOS (via Reeder [1]) for at least a year. One thing that absolutely flips the effect on it's head (for me, personally) is the switch to "dark" mode, or simply light text on dark backgrounds vs. dark text on light backgrounds.
I suspect this is likely a typographic side-effect, similar to traditional print where dark pages "swallow" light text where as the opposite happens when inverted.
Scrivener is a gem for sure, but I'm always curious if anyone actively using it has tried Highland? I guess I'm biased as it feels extremely "at home" on macOS.
Still, they could've probably made some strides with React Native on macOS and the win-win that entails. UX improves in these instances + arguably RN benefits from the Apple buy-in.
While I agree about the specific ask for multiline support (and the decade plus hourly usage of 1p), it's abundantly clear that things are slipping with regards to the core product. For awhile there were no public links to any downloadable desktop apps for macOS while they pushed web + subs + and the MAS version.
These days I'm just delighted when 1password doesn't open a totally different browser when invoked from the active one.
> …Airpods have a ton of extra UX settings in iOS that are not available to other bluetooth headsets.
To be fair, AirPods have "a ton" of hardware capabilities built in that are also not technically available, but that's kind of exactly the point, right?
Re: iOS Safari default search conundrum: You could use something like Launch Center Pro[1] to pass queries to your search URL in Safari. Minor convention change (eg. initiate search from LC vs. directly in Safari) but it's still at least one less step.
I was just looking into doing something similar after realizing how little my RPi3B+ running only HomeAssistant was actually doing. I'd love to have PiHole and Shelly among others so maybe this route on a RPi4B is the way to go. Thanks for this!
