The absolutely number one thing that allowed me to actually use the thing though was Yabai+SKHD. Tiled windows and the full customization of hotkeys make this thing so much more usable and, frankly - surprisingly - it’s grown on me.

That isn’t an iDevice specific issue. It’s how a ton of mobile devices handle charging of the battery for various reasons, including the obvious one of you being mid boot and losing power to the device.

Most of their products are like that. There are a lot of specific language support features in each one that may become available as plugins later on but not at the same pace or “fullness” as the specific product itself.

For example, PHPStorm has good JavaScript support but if you want really good Typescript support you should probably go with Webstorm.

Alternatively, I can totally write Rust code in Webstorm through the Rust plugin but I’m better off using CLion that has better support (or now RustRover which will be where all the latest Rust support features are added, although it’s still a preview product afaik).

Also worth noting though that there are indeed some “tiers”. Like Webstorm won’t support PHP but PHPStorm will support JavaScript/Typescript (again, not fully but enough to maintain a front end operating off your PHP backend)

On the note of testing, Pest is still one of the best testing options I’ve seen across a variety of langs.

Holy hell as someone who still avidly writes PHP, this gives me goosebumps.

For sure. People find a niche they like and then think that is the solution to any problem. Until, of course, some new shiny tech catches their eye and they try that out (or their favorite clickbait Medium writer comes out with an article about “Why you shouldn’t be using ____ anymore in 2023”). Then the love of their life gets thrown to the curb.

Very widely used still and well maintained. It’s been a good options since 7 came around. Most of the hate IMO comes from people who were working with PHP4/5 code or people who just saw PHP4/5 code and think that’s what the language is today.

I mean that’s generally the case with most tech. Just like the never ending PHP hate. Plenty of reasons to dislike or not use it but no reason to think it’s the scum of the earth.

About the only good thing about npm is that I can use one of the superior alternatives. Using npm is almost always a headache as soon as you start working with a decent number of packages.

The most noticeable thing when I went back to the site with a fresh account (unfortunately there are still a few real niche communities that I want to participate in that refuse to move) I was inundated with a bunch of right wingy content. New subs like “true unpopular opinion” parrot a bunch of shitty views disguised as “conversations”. Lots of racism, homophobia, and other terrible shit now there right in the open on the home feed.

This is true, actually. I’ve felt uncomfortable adding something that essentially can create 10s of requests per second to an APIs that have been struggling significantly.

I see though that it’s being done and - although I’m not one of the admins to know - things seem to be fine now.

I don’t think it’s the best idea, given the fragility of things, but we can revisit this.

I think this only works on Windows oddly enough. Probably really trying to push safari on macOS.

The only gripe I have about this is that third party browsers on MacOS don’t support Passkey. If you use Safari it’s absolutely wonderful, but…safari.

Still though, it isn’t incredibly difficult to just go into Settings to get passwords, but it’s still a pain.

I can second this. The only issue out of the box from my experience was getting speeds over 100Mbps working over WiFi, takes a bit of configuring (at least it did for my router).

Another thing that I like is considering not what I can do to “change my life in a year” but “what can I do tomorrow to improve my life even a little bit right now?”

Instead of getting caught up on larger things that might take years to achieve, if I consider something I can change right now that will make tomorrow a better day, those changes will add up much more quickly and noticeably.

Even if I can’t think of something, that’s fine. I can accept that, and just move on to the next day. The important thing is to ask myself this every day, so that I can give myself the option of making that change and having that reflection.

I have a separate account now for meme communities. I enjoy memes, but gotta be a way to filter them out better without blocking the communities.

Yea you can filter by subscribed but then you also miss new content or communities you don’t know about yet.

Best solution I’ve found is to block all of that on the main account and just switch over to another account if you feel like seeing the memes.

what was it for?

The world may never know 😔

Yep. Just because people don’t say something doesn’t mean they don’t feel some type of way about it.

That’s the issue right there. These companies never actually get punished in full, or even if they do, they know there’s a chance they can get away with it so why even bother caring?
